Mine is because I love the name Zephyr. It was dp's last motorbike, I have my very own Chilli Peppers song and dd's first cat was named Zephyr.

Unfortunately mine speaks for itself

I joined MN when I became a stepmum

moondog · 20/10/2005 17:25

Curiosity sataisfied now.

was painting my nails and surfing at the same time (the web, not a wave) and found mn whilst pg the 1st time. lurked for about 2 years then got caught up in a big argument about breast/bottle and became hooked

My temper (yonks ago in my teenage years) used to be quite intense and a friend nicknamed me Littlehellcat. Well derived from there really. Very mellow and peace loving now

laligo · 20/10/2005 17:52

it's a word i've always liked... assumed it meant somethimg romantic and archaic or was the name of a lovely island somewhere - but just looked it up and it seems it might be a type of leather or a species of squid...! damn

buffytheharpsichordcarrier · 20/10/2005 17:59

nailpolish you lurked for two yeears how did you manage that? i lurked for about oh all of five minutes....

moondog · 20/10/2005 18:00

Raindog,no need to be quite so hasty in your rush to disassociate yourself from moi.

Yeah laligo...very good word.

Lonelymum · 20/10/2005 18:06

Moondog, why did you choose your name? Sorry, have you answered that further down? I can't see it anywhere...

It's what an old boyfriend used to call me at uni. God knows why....

How are you today btw??

Lonelymum · 20/10/2005 18:09

I'll be better tomorrow!

moondog · 20/10/2005 18:09

Ah Tref!
There you are!
Can't keep up with the namechanges.
Allmy old mates keep on going awol.

Lonelymum · 20/10/2005 18:09

Hmmm interesting answer! Begs a few more questions though doesn't it?!

moondog · 20/10/2005 18:11

He was a real stoner-tireless in his search for chemical stimulation. Came from NI.
Incredibly intelligent and funny though.

fullmoonfiend · 20/10/2005 18:11

Many years ago, I was christened Moon Unit (after Frank Zappa's daughter) by my boss who thought I was a hippy and the name stuck. My dh and some old friends still call me Moons. I'm now a very grown up hippy so hence MrsMoons. FullMoon Fiend is my halloween costume! (Horribly afraid I've blown my cover now )
Raindog - love Tom Waits btw

Lonelymum · 20/10/2005 18:13

You have really lived Moondog, haven't you?

Lucyfercat · 20/10/2005 18:13

Lucy is our cat & was trying to sit on the keyboard when I joined!!

screwyslittlegoblins · 20/10/2005 18:17

I used to be foxd as my last name was foxton until I could think of something else.
My dad used to call me screwball or muppet but they were both taken so, I think it was Wig Wam Bam who said have them both....ScrewballMuppet.

For halloween and since my two ds's were drawing on each other at the time of trying to think of a halloween name I'm now Screwyslittlegoblins

moondog · 20/10/2005 18:18

You taking the piss LM?
For the four years I went out with him,only really ever saw the inside of pubs and grimy student flats.
(Certainly wasn't like your lovely Royal Crescent student experience let me tell ya!)

Lonelymum · 20/10/2005 18:20

No, i am not taking the piss. I meant that sincerely. I have had a few days of wallowing nostalgia, reading my copious diaries from my student days, and it struck me how sad my life has always been. I was badly burnt by an Irishman - still remember him too much now - and would have loved your screwy NI boyfriend.

moondog · 20/10/2005 18:21

LM.......I want you to get better!!!

XXXX
