Why did you choose your Rootschat name?

[Erato]

I think she was a muse of poetry.   In real life, a genus of small, attractive, but unspectacular marine gastropods.

[Siouxzie]

I have been using Siouxzie, since I was about 11 (1973).  Definitely before I'd heard of Siouzxie Sue and the Banshees, I think she copied it from me.  It was more to do with my love of old black and white westerns on the telly of an afternoon and my sympathies lying with the native americans, I was a strange 11 year old.  I used to make the S be a snake with a long forked tongue.  But I too sign with my actual name Suzanne, as it seems more grown up, not that I am or anything.

[Tralee]

Having Irish roots(albeit not Kerry ones) i celebrated and saw in the new millennium at the Earl of Desmond in Tralee.Sometimes being guilty of suffering from senior moments its an easy name to remember.Tralee

[rosanne]

My first name was taken so I went for my second one Rosanne

[Mobo]

 

Isn't anyone else going to tell us how they chose their Rootschat name ?

 

[Lloydy]

Since my original post on this thread, I have changed my user name.

[mimosa]

I chose my name very sentimetally as I was doing the family tree I called myself what my Gramps used to call me 

Mimosa

[J.A.M.]

Mine was a simple matter of remembering. I tend to write myself notes to remember things, then forget where I put the notes, so I chose my Grandfather's initials since I was doing genealogy research.

[Burrow Digger]

Since I have lots of nicknames from all over the web. I decided I wanted a totally new one that was just connected to genealogy.  One of my sons favorite cartoons was on TV at the time I was registering and it has a beaver in it. And beavers dig right? Since I was looking for my Burrow family in the West Country - Burrow Digger came to mind and it fit perfectly.  And a very tenacious female Burrow Digger I am too.
