How did you get yours?

[bramble]

Bramble, because there were a lot of them in the garden when I started.

[Bohobumble]

I've used similar portmanteaux online, they're less likely to have been selected already!

When I came up with the first I lived in an area a while back with an eclectic mix of people; academics, creative types, lots of political debate, a little leftfield in places. I have a hippy edge to me and I love to travel and experience new things, so Bohemianism worked for me, tho perhaps not in the traditional sense.

The latter; it's a reference to bumble bees, that I rather like. I'd love to keep bees. But then I guess you need to put down roots somewhere for that. This particular site was related to gardening, so that also worked. Anyone aware of Esme Weatherwax's bees? Magical.

One of my family nicknames is Xenuhnuhnuh because my cousin aged 3 couldn't pronounce my name. My aunt still calls me it to this day. My cousin is going to uni shortly.

[Bohobumble]

Am I the only person who never noticed that? A bit like sentences where people type the
the same word twice.

I noted. I wondered. Presumed there used to be someone called Bigmally on here so an extra L was added to acquire their nickname.

I like the serendipity of a typo

Ironically has been printed in the mag, it looks like a typo there. I should have read it there first!

[Verinda]

Verinda is the name of a rather odd character in a children's story, written by me!

[Guest]

I thought it was a type of rat :/

ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.....no I definitely would not intentionally name myself after a rat glad that one is cleared up

[plotman]

Must confess I didnt give alot of thought to mine ha ha

[Bacchus]

Mine is Bacchus because I brew mead (a honey wine) and am interested in ancient mythologies and the like.

I also have delusions of divinity

[DannyRam]

Mine is simple. Christian name followed by the first 3 letters of my surname.

[Scarlet]

There is no story behind mine. I've just shortened Carrie Ann to Cari Ann and put my birth year on the end of it.

20 years younger than me!! You luck devil!

[Scarlet]

My name is Mally & I'm 6'3". Always been known as big Mally since I was a kid. The extra "L" was a typo when registering................

I've never noticed that!

[KevinM67]

I've never noticed that!

Neither have I

I also thought it was Molly not Mally

[Scarlet]

When I first joined I was training to run for a charity and I had just received some "scarlet emperor" runner bean seeds but "scarlet runner" was taken. So I scrubbed out the runner part, which was just as well as I've not run since which left "Scarlet"

[NatalieCooke]

Mines a really easy one, Natalie Cooke is my name (married for 3 year this June)

I was really surprised that the user name hadn't already been take I normally use the start of my e-mail address "hairy_fairy87". I don't really think it goes very well on a Grow You Own site.

Bigmally I also never noticed the 3 L's!

[Bigmallly]

Neither have I

I also thought it was Molly not Mally

And here was me thinking you was taking the Mick, Kelvin.................

[KevinM67]

And here was me thinking you was taking the Mick, Kelvin.................

I certainly wouldn't mess about with a 6.3 ft gorilla.

Honestly, it's really weird I've never even noticed the 3 Ls before.
