My first logon was to the Guardian website, I wanted something I could remember and have usually used it on forums ever since.

Timbertwig was a character in Storyteller magazine in the 80's.
Does anyone remember him?

I'm often called this because I have very long ones or because its the beginning of my surname. :)

My username is my initials (I used to use them when a typist) and my age when I divorced, I opened a few new accounts of my own when starting afresh and needed a username and it was the first thing I could think of. I have several other variants but this is still my main one.

My username is the name from my second blog which I originally created as a travel blog when I went to work and travel in Canada for 1 year. It has since become my main every day blog and the nick stuck which I have been using for mostly everything online since (Twitter, other blogs).

Canadian because I am a wanne be Canadian

Turtle because it was my nickname at the time amongst a group of friends (no, I am not green or slow, however at the time I quite liked Squirt from Finding Nemo and somehow that nickname came to be)

My name! I didn't realise when I signed up that people didn't use their real names (shows how naive I am!). I've emailed AYBG about changing my name and have been given the go-ahead but don't know what to call myself! Also, worried no-one will know who I am so may just stay as I am. Problems!
Any suggetsions for a new user name?
