Anyone changing their username?

Erm, I actually thought it was your real name...

Hehehe. Well, perfectly logical assumption.

And thank you for sharing this story with us.

You're welcome. It's just that I only recently made the connection with the bear. Feeling totally stupid, hehe. Figure skating is my only sports-related fandom; I go by another nick in other circles, particularly TV series and movies fandoms, and Winnie was the only thing that I could think of that was sports related enough to use as a nickname whilst also sounding female enough. I didn't realize I'd named myself after a male bear. But I'm used to the name now, so, yeah, sticking with it.

Peg is short for pegasus. Plus, it means people (correctly) assume I'm female

Pegasus! :dance: Kewl nickname!

Firstly, I have to agree about "Pegasus" being a really cool nickname to have! Much better than any I have had!

But, I just have to laugh.

As you are not a fan of the bear, you probably do not realise the significance of the order you have witten those 2 back-to-back comments in, Winnie_20.

Although, to be fair, I didn't even know this until a couple of months ago!

Winnie the Pooh was named after a black bear that AA Milne saw at London Zoo. That bear was named "Winnie" because it came to London from Winnipeg!

Winnie and Peg

Talk about a coincidence!!!

Thanks! I adopted the pegasus as sort of a personal symbol over 20 years ago. It works well, because in the Chinese horoscope I'm a horse, and in the regular one I'm Aquarius, which is an air sign. So, a flying horse
