The origin of members forum names ?
« on: October 20, 2008, 02:53:40 PM »
Just thought it might be fun,but what is the origin of members forum names ?
There are some really good/funny/interesting names,mine is nothing exciting really,its just my two dogs names.

I chose mine because I lived in Minsk for a time and loved it, although I am possibly not much of a babe!! (nor am I Belorussian..)

Mine is Turkish for the male partner/husband/appendage of a female relative, or something like that, so my Turkish wife''s (and now my) nephews and nieces refer to me as EniÅŸte, which I hope and believe is meant to be a term of respect.  More and more now seem to be referring to me as "uncle" or older brother", which is nice but mildly ageist.

Without delving too deep, does anyone know of any/many other British men married to Turkish ladies, living in Kalkan?  I have met numerous couples the other way around, as it were, but few our way!

Mine''s very boring - because I am one!

EniÅŸte, my friends brother is married to a Turkish lady from Antalya but they live in Holywell in north Wales - not quite as sunny there as Kalkan  ;D
Currently have a duplex apartment in Kiziltas which we visit as often as we can.

Ooh, Ooh, me sir, I know the answer, sir!  Any beer-related prizes available?

Isn''''t this a fun thread?  Are we allowed to deliberate on what other users'' screen names mean?

Fidimax

I might have guessed that the Feds had been former police officers or undercover US agents, had I not met them back in the summer and got the answer.  I would never have guessed yours was after your dogs - I would have gone for some sort of video recording format or that you claimed to the biggest fan of the popular performer 50 (fiddy) cent!

Perhaps Kalkan4eva can tell us more about Eva.

Or Belorusbabe can explain why she didn''t go for Minsk Minx (easy for you to say)?

Martyn E

Were your parents fans of Vermouth?  Martini?!  Geddit?

I''ll get my coat.......

As another clue, my family name does feature on my posts but not in my user name.

My cousin has a black labrador bitch (sorry) called Pepsi, who recently "entertained" a Max, prompting much hilarity at the kennels, especially for fans of the ubiquitous soft drink!

One of Pepsi''s pups was allegedly named G*nner, after the french football team, and I hope he never mates with my cousin''s other bitch, called Ria!.....

Can we not call them "golden" any more?

Are we heading slightly off topic?

Some call them Golden,some call them Yellow,I think Golden is used more for retrievers.

Sorry to disappoint, Eniste...Eva doesn''t exist as a person...my monica is paying homage to textspeak..cos I thought it would make me appear hip and trendy  :-[ At the 70''s night in Kleo our friends..and even my BH near choked on their Efes when they heard me introducing myself as "Kalkan Forever "(4 eva - gettit?) - my BH felt it would be more suited to a seventies porn star, than a mother of three grown-up children  :o.

Oh well, too late to change it now...I couldn''t keep up with all Hoca''s name changes recently, so I won''t embark on that course of action. :laugh:

As for The Feds...I think the answer is no.4
Better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt :)
