Where did your name come from?
 

I was sat here wondering about this knowing that mine has a little story behind it...I wondered how many others did?

So here is my story of how Harrypottermouse was born....


I have to say I blame my then 3 year old for the name, she had a Where's Spot book and one of the lift the flaps was a picture of a hippopotamus under the grand piano lid...well, our good friend loves Harry Potter - and when the Mama (grandmother) asked who was under the piano - she replied harry pottermouse...so it kind of stuck.

Bless her

On another forum I go by the name of a household object because I was , ill , off work and desperately needed some advice about my situation and HAD to remain anonymous. I was sat on the sofa and just typed in the first thing I could see!

Mine comes from being called Tasha and being little...

My very good friend Tasha is 6 inches taller than me I'm 5' 2" ...hence I'm little Tasha and she's big Tasha but her husband calls me Tashy?

My middle name is Elizabeth, when I was little when people asked my name and I couldn't pronounce it properly - it came out Liffyliff so hence Liffy and my surname starts with a B

Well, I got my name changed recently. I realized that when you have a very distinctive name, everyone in the world can google it. As strange things can happen on the Internet when people know who and where and what you are - I decided to change it for privacy reasons.

I work in a law firm and things used to be easy. People came in and signed documents and you never doubted that they were who they said they were. Then you started hearing about crooks forging transfers and registering a house and a mortgage in their own name. So now we require three pieces of i.d. including photo i.d. before a mortgage company will allow a mortgage to be registered. And yesterday I heard that we will now have to get i.d. before we can register a transfer.

The Internet is a wonderful thing, but it has also made it a lot easier for crooks to find a way of scamming people!

So my name comes from where I lived in England when I was a child.

Geek Alert!

I used to be a really big fan of Big Brother and specifically Jon Tickle. On one of the episodes he was talking about the "pretty flowers" in the BB garden. I'd just joined another forum to talk about Big Brother and chose that as my name. As I'm strikingly low on originality, I decided to use that as my forum name everywhere else. That and er, the fact that I really like flowers...
