I joined in February 2003 and was always known as Chrissie Smiff. When the site changed I tried to keep it as my board name but it said that it wasn't an acceptable name:)) I tried every variation of Chrissie but they had all been taken. I got so cross that I even tried 'what can I be then', but it wouldn't let me be that. So you can see the boring name I was left with :))
p.s. I don't do much apart from genealogy these days.

Click on Community at the top of the screen, then Board summary, then scroll right the way down to where you can put another name above "Hide your real name and show a friendly alias when posting to the community boards" - it won't accept spaces between words or names there but you could be ChrissieSmiff :-)

Huia

Huia Report 7 Apr 2010 20:55

Apparently I joined 14 Oct 2003, so not quite as 'old' a member as some others, but still old. And I am 74 yrs old. I started off as my maiden name (I think) of Huia Bettany but think I have since used Old Crow but prefer to keep the name Huia in my board name so people know who I am.

My hubby used to refer to me as The Old Crow because Huia is a Maori name for a bird, an extint member of the wattled crow family. I was born and bred in New Zealand but my gt grandparents all came from England.

Huia the extinct old crow.

Ahhhh thank you Joy, that explains it then. It's under the friendly alias bit and all the other things I tried must either have had a space or been taken.
