[JennieAtkinson]

My real name is unpronounceable, so I thought I;d go for something simple

I can only plead ignorance of forums when I registered in err...... 2005 and didn't know anything about registering an alternative name!

Pleased to meet you unpronounceable, I'm Wayne. Unusual name that, unpronounceable, where does it originate from?

[Pumpkin Becki]

I'm Pumpkin Becki because last year (my first with an allotment), I grew a pumpkin variety called 'Becky', but I've always spelt mine with an 'i'!

PS, I think this is a brilliant thread, I've always wondered how everyone arrived at their 'pen names'.

[snake the squadie]

I don't think they're related to N. E. Juan from Spain though?

Becki,
Thank You (see Wellie bob head and curtsey), I find it's much nicer talking to people if you know a little bit about them, and this way, it's not delving too deep into their privacy?

It's a bit like the old adage - "always nice to put a face to the name". Kinda...

Agreed, another fine thread Wellie.

[Cuke]

Well mine has derived from my surname over time...

Newcombe -> Newcomber -> Cucumber -> Cuke

So, it seemed an obvious forum name when the time came

[Polly Fouracre]

When I bought a four-acre field my sister ,Jane ,reffered to me as "Mistress Fouracre". The Polly came from I know not where!
I quite like the name though and might change my own name to it!!

[bluemoon]

Bluemoon coz I'd been a reader of the mag from issue 1 and I really wanted to use this site, but I was also ever so slightly technophobic and thought I'd only be here once in a....... How many posts in 2 months is that?

[yoanbob]

mine is mine and his nicknames, yo an' bob.
