Mooey? Trickers? FTOMB?

I have this username on a couple of other forums. The first time I used it was on a knitting forum (yes, there is a knitting forum ladies, no I am not making it up) hence the knitting part. My fiance calls me Vixen all the time as it is similar to my real name of Vicky. The username "vixen" was always taken, so I went with "Knitting Vixen".

    When I first saw your name I read it as " a big iggle" and I wondered what an "iggle" was. And why you would have a big one....

    Mine is a combination of a nod to the country I love and a family secret.

    Mine came about as the first few names I tried were taken already, and I was off to a rugby match the next day! I didn't realise that there were already a Trickers and a Twickers-knickers which were quite similar.

    Just a nickname a friend came up with yonks ago, which hasn't really stuck, but it's unusual so I use it on other forums too.

    First name that came into my head. Then I realised it sounded a bit negative which I generally I'm not - I am usually a glass half full person - so that's why I chose the picture as its a little bit more cheerful/nice that a grey raincloud.

    Yes ?

    Mine is REALLY interesting! No... not at all. It's my first and middle name. I'm so imaginative.... I'm on a few other forums and there I'm either known as DramaLlama or KenLeeeeeee (as in the Bulgarian Idol youtube video. If you haven't seen it, PLEASE go watch it. A-mazing). I have thought about changing my name a couple of times actually... maybe I should? Can I do that without losing all my posts?

    Mine is part of an old hotmail email address I used to have. The nickname came from an ex-work colleague - I love fruit but I'm very pale skinned and am very light-sensitive so she kept teasing me saying I was a vampire (don't ask, she was super strange) that kind of morphed into vampire bat and then fruitbat. 83 is just the year I was born.

    OH and most people in RL don't know about this nickname, so I reckoned it would be 'safe' to use on here.

    I'm Lee, pleased to meet you ?

    Sorry its not original but since young I got called LeeLee, which is funny as my Nan chose my name and said its because you can't shorten it and now everyone doubles it instead whoops!

    I had to put the smiley on as another user already had LeeLee.
