Hahaha, what a fun topic
My username means translated DĂźsen=jet, Zofe=maid. I am a flight attendant and as it is known that cats donât have owners but personal I am a jetmaid. However it doesnât really translate well into English.
My username could I suppose be taken two ways - as someone who loves the snow, or someone who flies away from it. In North America, the term âsnowbirdâ might be easily understood, but I realized perhaps not for those areas of the world with a very different climate to where I live, in Canada.
A Canadian snowbird is one who likes to travel to warmer countries to escape the cold Canadian winters. Most are retirees, and we mainly flock to the southern United States and Mexico, although Portugal has also become popular. My first choice is Mexico, but my wings have been clipped by the pandemic, so Iâve given in to boots and winter coats again this year.
mattersfact2 - because I have a habit of saying âmattersfactâ instead of âas a matter of factâ. I didnât know for YEARS where it came from. One day, in my 40s, I was on the phone with my mother and she blurted âmattersfactâ. AH-HA! I got it from MOM.
My username is a bit of a story⌠I used to be married to a farmer and I used to breed Shire horses and Welsh Cobs. In order to register the foals I needed to register a stud name⌠The obvious choice for me was the name of our farmâŚOrfold⌠however my father in law had previously bred Shire horses and already had the Orfold stud name, so I had to think of something else, so I rearranged the letters and came up with Foldor so if you ever see a horse called Foldor anything, itâs one I bred! (Type Foldor Seraph into YouTube ) It was a long time ago that I was breeding horses so I doubt that many of my babies are still aroundâŚ
My name is my real name it was my grandmotherâs name who came from Spain and I never met.
When I was born, there was a âfamily feudâ about giving me that name and my original birth certificate actually has a blank where the given name should be.
Through the years I was called many things. Some were meant as terms of endearment others not so nice.
I finally claimed it as my own in 1997 at age 42 and thatâs it, signed and sealed. People still call me names
Maybe I should have been more imaginative. Mine is my real name shortened. Elspeth, Gaelic for Elizabeth, is such a mouthful and no one spells it properly. I am 5th generation named in my family. When my daughter was born everyone assumed she would be 6th. Sheâs called Hazel Anne.
My username is simply the name of one of my dogs, Boodie, a bearded collie. She is named after Boudica, but it has been shortened since she was a puppy. She is the one on the left.
@ElsieDownie , Elspeth is a very popular babyâs name now. My stepdaughter wanted to name her new baby Elspeth, as she loves her Scottish heritage, but felt it was becoming too common! She named the baby Lilias instead.
