I chose mine because I couldn't think of anything imaginative at the time.

hi everyone,

Sorry to be a bore, but I seem to have little imagination, so I just chose my first two initials.  'Caroline W'. I cannot divulge my second name, my mum thinks it's a lovely name but unfortunately I am unable to share her enthusiasm :'(

My children are also sworn to secrecy about my name, although sometimes they think it hilarious to announce it when I least expect it :-[

ooh, a guessing game.  Winifred?

I'm occasionally known by a very few friends as Ellie and my husband is Bob - easy.  I hope to find out as much as possible about both families so I can give my daughters and grandchildren as much of a sense of their place in the world as I can.

Still always sign my posts though as

Ellen

PS I agree with everyone who said how interesting this post is!

I played with the listing that i think Jan posted in February using the letters of your real name. Mine came out as Gadget Applebiscuit which i thought was a great name  ;D ;D ;D

Nothing too exciting about my name...it's my first initial and my surname. :p
