Subject: RE: BS: Origin of Mudcat Nicknames From: Genie Date: 07 Mar 02 - 12:59 PM Maggie, I, too, avoided using my real name as my Mudcat handle for fear of being spammed. [ I sometimes sign my real first name in posts, and, if I understand correctly, Mudcat members have access to my real name and at least one of my email addresses.]
Why "Genie?" Well, it's a homophone of a real nickname I have occasionally been given by folks, as well as a 'corruption' of "Jeanene" used by those who seem to find the latter hard to pronounce. Genie §;-) BTW, Maggie, being a bit dyslexic (or just a careless reader sometimes), I tend to read your moniker as "Silly River Stage" (am I kin to the Rev. Spooner?) or "Silly River Sage!" |
