+Grizzly Pair Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 When we started caching we had already planned a future holiday to Canada to include a trip to Knights Inlet to go and watch Grizzly Bears. Celia has always been bear mad since a child so it just seemed like an obvious name for us. Once on the holiday we spent quite some time watching a mother and her two cubs, we took hundreds of photos including some of the cubs who we adopted as our mascots. We now have these 2 cubs on our stickers we put onto logs. 2009 we return to Knights Inlet, we hope to see the 2 cubs again but much larger. Quote Link to comment

+tiggersabout Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 (edited) Being 'Hit on' on IRC was the main reason I started using Tigger. I started off on IRC about 9 years ago using Becky, but using a female name just attracted the pervs. First I changed it to Beck, but then people assumed I was a David Beckham fan, so I changed it to Tigger and have used it for everything since. Pengy changed from Joanne for the same reasons. T Ours was very similar to Pengy and Tiggers. When Amanda was newly seperated and setting up an Email account she did not want to be hit on all the time so her Aunt came up with watchout@tiggersabout.isp.co.uk, as she loves the winnie the pooh characters, that account is now defunct but the tiggersabout bit stuck and we use it in nearly all the places we go online. And anyone who knows our daughter Kimberley will know why she caches under the name Little Miss Chatterbox. Amanda and Steve Edited April 20, 2008 by tiggersabout Quote Link to comment

+sonatellas Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 (edited) Out name originated from my hotmail address. I did not want to use my real name for my hotmail address and was sitting upstairs in our house trying to think of something. This was about 9 years ago. Next to me was a very very old black and white TV. On the TV it had a logo of "sonatella" on it. Hey presto a good original name. Then we went on our first geocaching event and someone told us they were a Lord and Lady. So we became one too. So the Sonatellas (Lord and Lady) were born.

+Ubernoobs Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 My daughter plays online games and came up with our team name. She says in the online games world, uber = good and noobs (or newbies)= new =not very good! Therefore we are the team that is good at not being very good!!...yep that sounds like us!

+The Blorenges Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 ...She says in the online games world, uber = good and noobs (or newbies)= new =not very good!... Hmmmmmm... OK Welcome to the Forum anyway! MrsB Quote Link to comment
+goldpot Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 (edited) ...this was what I was hoping to find when I signed up. The name stuck because soon afterwards it wasn't straight forward to change your name. Needless to say, I'm still looking, hence I cache almost everyday Edited April 20, 2008 by goldpot Quote Link to comment

OK Welcome to the Forum anyway! MrsB Thank you for the welcome! Yep its confusing, but we're a very confused team! Quote Link to comment
+*mouse* Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Blame my dad. I've been called Mouse (or Miss Mouse or The Mouse etc...) by him and the family longer than I can remember so it seemed the obvious choice at the time I registered. The username Mouse had already been taken when I joined, so I stuck the asterix's either side to make it unique and voila *mouse* was created! These days I tend to go by 'Ellylldan'' on the web, which is the Welsh version of a Willow-the-Wisp. If I was joining now I'd probably use that name, but I can't be bothered to change now!

+schnarff Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 well sadly mines not spelt correctly (as the correct spelling was unavailable) but mine is my online name, not just on here. Anyway I ride a Yamaha Thundercat and for those of you who grew up in the 80s you should remember the Thundercats cartoon.... Quote Link to comment
+Team Sieni Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Sieni is the Finnish word for mushroom/fungus. We were keen fungus hunters, poking around in the undergrowth long before we added tupperware to our list of things to hunt. Fortunately I set our account up in the days when a name change would be easy, otherwise we would still have an unpronouncable anagram of our initials. Quote Link to comment
+gazooks Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 My initials are GAS and at work I'm called Gazza or Gaz. In my childhood I used to be mad about medieval knights and on TV or in films they always seemed to be saying 'gadzooks' - which I repeated in play. So for some reason when I was creating my user name I came up with Gazooks. simple really Quote Link to comment
+Fuchsiamagic Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 When digital cameras first became popular in the late 90's, I bought one and found I could get some very good results with the fuchsias which I had been cultivating, so I decided to build a website to display photos of as many different fuchsia varieties as I could find and called it Fuchsia Magic. I just carried on using that name. Quote Link to comment
