Many N's

Many N's Report 1 May 2006 21:31

Many n's is a nickname my friends hubby gave me as he said I had too many in my name - Dianna Tree is another nickname given by a friend who says I'm always wearing green and brown - this was before I met hubby whose name's Tregenza. So the nicknames stuck now x Changed from real name as there are lots of Dianas, Dianne's and Deannas here so trying to keep from confuddling peeps x

Cos I used to be a Line dancer and I am born, bred and living in Derbyshire. Did change my name on Friday when I renewed, to Derbyshire Daffodil, but got loads of pm's telling me that they knew who I was and preferred Dancer .... so even though I don't dance at present, thats who I will stay as until Xmas ... ( Cutie Kissy Toes ) Can't stand the name Elaine either ! another reason ! Elaine ;-)

Len of the Chilterns

Len of the Chilterns Report 1 May 2006 21:35

I was baptised Leonard although I am not generally known by that name as family and friends always use my middle name. At one time I also included my surname but was traced through 'People Finder' and received a call from a twisted individual (who soon wished he had not bothered) after which I dropped the surname in favour of where I live.

My name is Sharon and I have some really Wee Auntie's. I have been taller or as tall as them all since I was 10yrs old and one of them labelled me Big Shaz and it stuck so I am Big Shaz everywhere... email address, usernames on other sites etc. x
