Mine isn't very clever either. Years ago I was registering for a cross stitch forum and Tish05 came up as available, so I just accepted it. I'm not inventive at all, so that was just easier than trying to create something more unique and I've always gone by Tish instead of my actual name Patricia, because you often get called Pat and my father and younger brother (and an uncle, and a cousin) are all called Pat. Apparently my family also isn't very inventive when it comes to naming their children

Watson, your horse is a beaut, and having Sherlock and Watson is awesome! I used to have an arabian years ago. When I was horse shopping, his name was Revenue, and I worked for Revenue Canada (now Canada Revenue Agency) during my working career, so I knew it was meant to be.
It is really interesting reading how people come up with their names. Thanks for this thread!
