Viper Report post Posted December 30, 2005 Well my name was chosen by my AS DD who said I am like a Viper when I think I am not being treated fairly by the various officials like the LSA etc. I tend to coil up and then attack. I have also been likened to a Rotwiller by a family friend but really I'm a pussy cat, "meow" until you cross me or my family. Â Viper. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oracle Report post Posted December 30, 2005 I chose mine because it's my name It's lack of imagination you see. But to be honest with you if I had to register again I would chose a pseudonym. On other groups I am usually oracle witch is an anagram of my name - so it's still not that original is it  My son is best at picking names. One of his is 'only name that wasn't taken' while his other is 'incredible gamer'.  carole Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Valiant_Skylark Report post Posted December 31, 2005 I chose "Valiant-Skylark" in one of my darker moments, just after son No. 1 had been dxd - you know, when your world falls apart for a while? Â I was thinking of a verse I had read somewhere... Â "Hold fast to dreams For if dreams die Life is a broken-winged bird That cannot fly" Â "Valiant" and "Skylark" were actually two of my ponies, both long gone now, from whom I learned a lot about myself. I miss them both terribly. Â Putting the two ideas together, I had the, rather comforting, image of a skylark, valiantly battling it out, whatever the odds. Â Coincidentally, I also live in one of the last places in my part of the country to have skylarks attempting to live amongst the urbanization of the plough.

Kathryn Report post Posted December 31, 2005 Kathryn, The cheque is in the post!  Bidx  Cheers Bid  Well it may surprise some of you to know Kathryn is not my real name   ... it's actually Tigerlilypeterpanpeachesapplepixiepoops.    No, really, how did I choose my user name?? I think the train of thought went something like this:  ....I desperately need to talk about my daughter and get some advice... This forum looks like the ideal place... If I register as myself she might take a look and take objection... I know, I'll choose a pseudonym... If I choose a name like "piglet" or "mum- at- the-end-of-her-rope" she'll know it's a pseudonym... I need a real name then....I might forget it though,... I know I'll take the name of the person who used to be my best friend at school and university, can't possibly forget that name.... Catherine, it was....but what if she reads this forum, she'll read something into it: she'll think i'm aspiring to BE her: definitely not the case... OK change the spelling then, ... OK.. er.. Katherine!...no... still tooo close...err...Kathryn!!! That'll do.  That was it, basically. Now I know everyone I feel a bit of a fraud posting under a pseudonym as everyone supposes it's my real name, but at least the anonymity has enabled me to give my frank opinion about officials I am dealing with.  I always sign my real name in pm's (It's not worth asking, really. Always hated it Still do.).  K Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

baddad Report post Posted January 1, 2006 Baddad why the monica? Viper.  Hi Viper... Basically, I was making up a compilation CD for Ben's birthday party (4th I think),. I wanted a 'personal' label to put on it, and came up with 'A BADSound Reproduction', the BAD standing for Ben And Dad. Baddad sort of evolved from that (which means that at some point you'll probably get a 'badben' making posts in his own right!)...  Kathryn, I'm intrigued - you'll have to send me a PM so I know the whole story!
