Georgia
but I've only been around for a year.

GeorgiaXplant is because I'm a transplant to Georgia. The "X" is a kind of shorthand for "trans".

Just? I looked it up, and it comes from Latin meaning amazing, wondrous, remarkable. So you're amazing, wondrous and remarkable!

The flower is in the family of four o'clocks. Love them and had forgotten about them. I'm going to look them up to see if they can be grown here.
 
I like to be called by my own name. I don't feel that providing my name is violating my privacy. I find it tedious when commenting another member's posts, to have to type out something like "I like what you said in your post Neverbeencross-eyed" or some other lengthy unreal name. It also makes it difficult for me to picture these people as people.

Mr. Google says that Ina has its origins in Latin, meaning "mother" and in another place that it's a diminutive of names ending in "ina".
 
I just plucked mine out of the clean air.

I am a prominent member of several other forums where I use the same ID.
For this one I wanted something that would keep me anonymous for no ulterior reason, but just so I can post on a forum where no-one knows me for a change..
 
This is a long story, but basically......................
My real name is George (which I don't like) and at one time I was the only George in the Department. Then another one joined - he too had a beard and wore glasses, so I became 'Mad George' and he became 'Big George'. OK so far????? Then one day, the firm's telephone exchange called me and asked if I was "Mad George". I said yes and they asked if I could change it because it looked bad if the company was employing mad people.

Around that time, I was also working in Rochester, Minnesota on a computer disk file called "Lightning". It was my job to pick up the manufacturing support software and install it in the UK. So, I changed my name to Capt Lightning (who was a spoof superhero on TV). Funny enough, nobody objected to tha handle.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
 
Sounds good to me, Capt. Mad George as in Mad King George? Geez, you'd think that if the other George was Big George, you could have been Little George. Or Medium George. Or Capt. Lightning:D
 
My real name is Jim. I was wandering through the dictionary and came across Meander, and wondered if it would make a good name. It would and it did. Life waiting around the bend always seemed inviting to me. The first two letters are the real "Me".

....and Ina, your name is a gas.

I've always been "Falcon" on all my forums. I really wanted to be "Eagle" , but it was already taken.

But I'm happy with it. Falcons can fly a lot faster than eagles.
 
I use my own name. I signed on about a year ago as Boo's Mom which is the name of one of my dogs, my yellow lab.
But everyone called me Boo, so I decided I should just be me. :D
 
Warrigal is an Aboriginal word for native dog, AKA dingo. I chose it years ago when I was a youth leader as my club name. It allowed the children a name to use that was neither too formal nor disrespectful. The Dame part is a joke. I'm sending up a pretentious honorific recently revived by our PM. All over Australia ATM there are phoney Sirs, Lords, Dames and Ladies. Probably time to revert to my common status as plain Warrigal.

Yes, I remember you, before you were a Dame ...:D
 
Dame Warri, I liked it when you did it. I saw your humor, and it made me understand you better. That's what I should do. Find a name I like. My father named me after his first wife, to be cruel I guess.
 
I use to SCUBA dive a lot off the coast of Gloucester and Marblehead ,Massachusett.

One time at 40 feet down there was the real old 3 mast ship,I think I saw Davey Jones near the wheel.

 
When I wanted to join the name Raven just popped into my head for a user name and I liked it.
I wouldn't want to be Crow but Raven is fine. :) Sorry, not much of a story.
