Aw shucks Matty, I've gone all embarrassed now  :-[

Thank you for your kind words.

IF I'd have realised you were named after your cat, I could have called myself Rodney after our rabbit  ;D  then folk would have thought I was a fella too  ;D ;D

I tried to use the name Sleepy on another forum, but was taken and went for Snowwhite instead. (after going through the rest of the dwarves - minus Grumpy) The numbers are not my age!
I did try for some greek mythology names but those were always taken too so stuck with snowwhite!!

Some of these names are great! I too sit and try to think what they mean. Great topic! :D

I chose alllegs because my nickname has always been 'Legs' then my granddad won some money on a race horse called Alllegsnobrain, which is highly appropriate for me as I'm 5ft 11, blonde and incredibly dizzy, but I always spelt it wrong!!  So shortened it to alllegs!

Not very exciting really, but probably the only printable nickname I have!!

I chose my name because it is a bike.  An old Harley Ironhead engine 1000 cc (heavy  :o) as opposed to the new ones with aluminium engine  :D  slch is the model which went to 1984.

Its the name only my Nan and current partner have ever used for me. The spooky thing is my partner had never heard anyone call me by it and my Nan died 20 years ago. She spoilt me rotten so I guess this guy must be the real thing and I feel its a lucky one for me.
