My surname is Wood so I think Rose Wood has a lovely organic ring to it ;0)<br />My online name for forums and such is gipsyrose because my friends and boyfriend always used to call me gipsy-rosey-lee who I think should be my alter-ego ...

It's not my birth name and not the one I use in real life. I've never really had many nicknames but do think names are *so* important. My daughter already knows I'll be fine if she ever wanted to change hers (as it is she already prefers an abbreviated version of her name). <br /><br />I love the idea lof 'Pilau'. It makes me imagine you as tasty and subtly spicy!

She loves the name but thinks it might confuse people. :)<br />Dawn... pamphlet? lol.

Haha. Also had 'dumpling' over the years.The main one I still have originates from my brother and he still calls me it today... 'chicken', also sometimes shortened to 'chick' and over the years has been extended to ' supachick!' Even his mates sometimes call me chicken, lol!! For the children, foss we call 'boss', vinny calls fin 'bradford' and feather is known by everybody as 'queenie' or 'queen'. Very odd how we pick this names up and they stick.

Andy, my husband absolutely LOVES nicknames and I have had various over the years, but Sprucety Mcboosty sticks in my mind as a favourite. He now comes up with cool, inventive nicknames for the kids, which they love. Since coming over to Australia, where people seem pretty keen on shortening names (and words in general!) then I am mostly Lou - which I mostly like and even use myself sometimes when I am being introduced. xxremoteislandparadisehttp://remoteislandparadise.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
