Forum names

Some of the names of forum member make me smile.  

What made you choose your name?  I know dovefromabove is a real name as is Fidgetbones.........???

What name could I have chosen for myself if I had the forethought to do it?  Clearly I lack the imagination of many of you......lol

What alternative name would you have chosen now?

    I should have called myself MuckMagnet, just can't keep clean. I only go for a look in the garden and come back in scruffy.

    I think my brain stopped working! Don't know what came over me. Best not to change it because goodness knows what it could be next. DollyP perhapsimage

    Probably some of the names are as mine is, the best of three falls with the Forum, they would not accept my then given name and fourteen tries later in sheer desperation I keyed in Palaisglide and next second I was in?
    Having been called many things in my carreer I would most likely have chosen B@#@#@ Lugs.

    Frank.

    Mine is just a continuation of my youtube handle.  I called it that as a continuation of an article I wrote for  Diver  magazine called  Fidget Bones Diary.

    originally my ex brother in law called me fidget because I can't sit still.

    I suppose these days I'd be called hyperactive and dosed up on Ritalin.

    If you'd like to see what I get up to in the Winter when its too cold to garden, look up  "whale shark feeding" by "fidgetbones" on youtube.  Also "Kat the dugong"

      I'm the one behind the camera.   The hairy one at the end is my  Toyboy.  (Got to have someone to carry the tanks)

    My forum name was originally my real name but, on seeing all the great names on the site i felt i needed to change. Doc becuse I am / was one and punk because at 55 it is still my favourite musical genre.

    I also feel maybe wrongly that Christo Lloyd the gardener I most admire was a bit of a punk in his amazing colour schemes.

    How can you lie there and think of England

    Haven't you donoffe this before?

    Then you guessed the persona behind the name. Weren't far off with my previous name either.

    I've used booker on other places, as my surname means books, so I may as well be booker here as well - thus booker too.  The picture is my hand with some seeds a friend gave me, from Tasmannia - grown leaves but no flowers - yet.  Quite happy with this so can't for now think of an alternative I might have used.
