What made you choose your username?

Was there a specific reason for choosing your name, does it have a special meaning, or was it the first thing you thought of.

As you know I was Travelling Man when I thought there were no other females on the forum, but after reading this poem, I decided to 'come out' and then all the ladies appeared too

Mommy Always Called Me Gypsy by Cheryl Davis Miller

Mommy always called me Gypsy
after Gypsy Rose Lee.
Seems I loved high-heels and jewellery
they fascinated me.
My wardrobe held the cast-offs of
the 'Ladies' from upstairs.
I'd watch them do thier make-up and
do what they called 'coiffures'
To see them dressed up for the town
gave my young heart delight.
They'd stumble up apartment stairs
at all hours of the night.
There was Sophie, Grace and Carol,
and my favorite Kaye,
it seemed that they all worked at night,
then slept most of the day.
Mom acted strange when I told her,
'I want to be like them'.
Told Daddy, 'We will have to move,
or face a big problem'.
It wasn't long before we moved
seemed very sad to me.
Cause after that, Mommy never
called me Gypsy Rose Lee.

Coz I am TOPDOG and did not want underdog (now undercoat) forgetting it.

Mine is fairly obvious innit??

I just knew you would all take my name in vain. innit

couldn't resist!

I send my big sister Gypsy over to see you , she-ill give you a right going over if you aren't careful. :hit:

Mine was chosen on impulse, besides I love dogs don't I?

Named after my kitten who is my avatar too

During a conversation in my local in Tenerife late one evening I stupidly described myself as being the perfect specimen. Bit tongue in cheek of course, but everyone found this most amusing. Since then the name has kinda stuck. I have been called much worse things and, just occasionally, I AM PERFECT........
