Why would there be something wrong with it?

Why do people choose the names they use on here. Maybe it's a nickname or a name of a song or something.

Hi Hidden ,

Regarding my name, when I first joined the Healthunlocked forums back in 2013, I chose the name 'Lowcal' because at that time I was trying to lose weight, and I decided to follow the NHS 12 week plan, and that involved ensuring I stayed within a calorie range, so the name I chose encouraged and reminded me to do that, but also to try to choose my calories well - i.e. what I considered to be healthy and nutritious foods wherever possible.

Now that I'm maintaining my weight, I fancied a change of name, and I chose 'Zest' because I feel I have a renewed 'Zest for Life' and I'd like to be reminded of that in the name I chose - also, I like limes, lemons, oranges - in terms of their colourful and zesty flavours. I really like adding spices and flavours to food when I can.

So, a lengthy reply to your question, and I'm interested to see your reason for your choice of name, and also those of others.

Wishing you an excellent week.

Zest :-)

p.s. For future reference, if anyone wants to change their name, then you can read how to do that here:

N.B. You can only change it twice.

Guess :D

Many thanks for your good wishes Jan. Much appreciated. Have a good day (I like that Americanism.)

I had a couple of nicknames when I was growing up, one was Jim and one was Tom, people in my town now think that my real name is Jim Tom so that's why I use the name.

Minnie is a name I was given a few years ago when I was at a dinner/dance, i had a fifties style dress on and a lovely friend said I looked like Minnie Mouse... lacking the bow!! So I got the Minnie there and I decided to add the winny as I'm winning battles every day in life.. hence Minniewinny, in 2013 I got a little yorkie, I gave her the name to share it!! I was called smiler at school!!

My friend still calls me Minnie.

in reply to Minniewinny

Smiler suits you ☺
