Mr Tinks was considering a username for one of his Sci-Fi or apocalypse sites a while back and I still laugh at his stupidity:
Him: I'm thinking Syoban: Lord of Darkness.
Me: Oh, right.
Him: It's a real name. Syoban.
Me: It's not.
Him: It is. I got an email from someone called Syoban. Class. Syoban: Lord of Darkness.
Me: [looks at his PC] Siobhan. Siobhan: Lord of Darkness.
Him: What?
Me: It's pronounced Shevonne, pet.
Him: Oh.
How could he not know that?!

Aww. We had that problem with the log in details for one of our accounts. We had to pick a pets name (Wee Jude) and mother's maiden name (Burns). Was a bit shitty logging in WeeJudeBurns every other day after we had to have her PTS and cremated last year. The unfortunate surname makes it in awful poor taste. I can be flippant now - and I quite like the wee reminders of her actually - but for some months it was tears and snot everytime I used the account.

Not at all. I love your name. It reminds me of Xmas for some reason. And if I ever realise one of my dreams of starting a business selling Pretty Things and Nicnacs for the home I'm nicking it for the name. My other dream is running a tearoom. All twee with mismatching china, cakestands and homemade jams and chutneys - Sally Cinnamon's (Stone Roses inspired).
I sometimes wish I'd picked that for mine.

Love your name too. Your posts and username suggest you're a damn smart lady who doesn't take herself too seriously, no pretentions.

I get that with chip_buttie. I'd put him/her on ignore to stop the damned cravings but I usually agree with them too much. I can almost taste the salt and vinegar when they post.
