It's been a while since we had a thread on the names we've chosen to use on HP, so as we have so many new members, I thought it might be a nice idea to start another one.
Mine - "Holistic" - is probably self-explanatory, though it was chosen before I joined HP, and is the one I always use.

RE: How did you choose your HP name?
I chose mine mainly to maintain consistency, since this is also my web address. The web address itself was chosen by my partner, after one of several crystal skulls which we own. I have thought about changingit to something which is more me, but decided not to in the end as I have been so long now it would only end up confusing everybody!

Hi Holistic [sm=wave.gif]
I'm so pleased you started this thread. I've always wondered how everyone came up with such good names.
As you can see I use my real name but only beacause I couldn't think of a good username.When I joined HP I spent ages trying to think of a name. I chose the name Suki 
. I seriously have no idea why. I made about two posts before I asked Amber would she change it for me.
Can't wait to see who else replies.
Love Suzanne x
RE: How did you choose your HP name?
Thanks for replies so far - hope there'll be lots more! [sm=wave.gif]Suzanne - it's a lovely name 🙂
Talisman: "I chose mine mainly to maintain consistency, since this is also my web address."
but I wasn't sure if I could say that 😉 I've always liked your name ... once I got used to Talisman being a woman!
Sue de Nymme: "You are allowed three guesses." I think I only need one, but won't spoil it for everyone else 😉 Very subtle! 😀
In passing, I'll say that my "strapline", though by no means original, is one I very much believe in, and I am also a drummer, so I thought it was an appropriate "link".

RE: How did you choose your HP name?
Mine's a nickname I've had since school, being called Justine it became Jussy and then eventually Gussie. Been called all osrts of permutations of that, some nice, some not so nice.. but it's me.
Now I work for myself a lot of people call me Justicia as a nickname and I completely hate it, it'sthe company name, not my name, and it's a distinction I wanted very clear when I chose it, but it doesn't stop others winding me up about it..
RE: How did you choose your HP name?
Thanks for explaning Gussie...I've always wondered about the Justine/Justicia thing too:)And there was me thing you lived a double life...or your parents had a funny sense of humour...or maybe you married someone similarly afflicted....???
I just chose mine because it's a jolly nice name 😀 :D:D
RE: How did you choose your HP name?
well my true name is Captain Caveman but thought I'd shorten it for HP 😉
RE: How did you choose your HP name?
Redfern is my surname -sorry not to be more interesting!
I haven't got around to changing my surname since I married last year but my passport is due for renewal soon so time to make a decision. However,I like Redfern and its 'Me'. Have never quite worked out though if I should be a Miss, Ms or Mrs as a married woman keeping her maiden name.
RE: How did you choose your HP name?
Well, I'm another who chose to use their website name! When registering the domain years ago every 'Reiki' type name had been used already. So, I just put together the two wonderful energies I work with and came up with Reikiangel which was accepted!
Love and light

RE: How did you choose your HP name?
Well I chose mine as I was soooooo busy with college, course work, case-studies and revising there was no time for anything else...... a friend sent me an email saying " you are a busy bee"......
RE: How did you choose your HP name?
Sorry to be so down-to-earth but I originally chose mine to post on a football message board... I'm a sub-editor (or sub) by trade and supersub had a footballing connotation. So I thought I'd better stick with that here to stop myself getting confused!
RE: How did you choose your HP name?
By the way, Suzanne, I second that about your name being a nice one. We chose Susanna for our second daughter 12 years ago. It was only later that we discovered it meant "lily". Strangely, our elder daughter's name is... Lili.
RE: How did you choose your HP name?
Well I chose Lotusflower cos my husband comes from the land of the Lotus Eaters (Thailand). But I thought if I called myself Lotus Eater, you guys might think I wasa bit weird:eek:so I changed it to lotusflower.
Love
RE: How did you choose your HP name?
