I normally use my cat's name peanut but I thought it might pay off to use my family name Earley in case anyone shared a common surname interest. Later I changed it to Earley bird because I always think my surname sounds so hard.

Wished I'd used peanut now .... ::)  ho hum

I tried a few and they were all taken so named myself after my favourite cursor, which is a small bonfire. I expected it to have been taken too.
Its got nothing to do with the fact that I'm a closet pyromaniac. Honest!!

Well, I started off with my name but thought it was a bit boring after a while, so I changed it to Chui after an adorable Leopard from the BBC's Big Cat Week!

This post is great  :D  I always thought Moscan was a fella until she put me right ...  ;D

Mine is dead boring, like Suey (I don't mean your name is boring Suey) I mean all the Sue's were taken up, so I just knocked off the 'e'. 

I did change it to 'Blue' once, but then forgot who I was, so changed it back  ???

One of the many names I love on here is 'Fizzybubble' wish I had thought of something more exciting.

I  chose  my  name  because  it  was  my  gran's  family  I  started  looking  for   so  figured  gransworld  was   a  good  choice.

the SC are my initials and the RATTLETRAP came from when I was researching old cars and thought they sounded good together.

JAG are my initials, 'JAG I am' didn't have the right ring to it so I decided to make it JAG u are, although I can't claim to be sleek like the cat or expensive like the car! Julie   ::)
