Back where I used to work and before the days of windows, we used to have four digit log in codes make up of our first initial and the first three letters of our surname. I worked in an office with three other women, and our login names (or anagrams of them if they weren"t quite snappy enough) became our nicknames. I was claw, m griffin was grim (or, affectionally, grimmy), s king was "skinny" and g gleeson was "girgle" or "gleg". Fast forward a few years later and I"m signing up for my first online poker account. Pretty uniformly I"d use the screen name clairep75 (my name, the initial of my, by then, first married surname, and the year of my birth), so that was what I chose for my account. I then had to choose something else as a "screename" and was a bit stumped as I"d wanted to be clairep75. I went for claw75 mainly due to lack of imagination. When I joined the blondepoker forum a few months later it seemed to make sense to use the same name as on betfair (which was the only site i"d played on up til that point), and later when I joined other forums like APAT I"ve stuck with it for continuity.
anyone still awake?
