WillowTheWhisp · 27-09-2006, 22:48

Mine comes from a nickname the kids gave me once on holiday. It was a very windy day and we'd been on an open topped bus down the front at Scarborough then went into the SeaLife Centre. As we went in they took our photo. Nobody told me what my hair looked like or suggested I do something about it but then when we picked up the photo the girls birst into giggles and called me "wispy the wonder woman".

The "Willow" part is because I live in Willows Lane. When I tried for an email address as willothewisp or willowthewisp it wasn't available so I stuck an 'h' in and became WillowTheWhisp. People tend to shorten it to Willow though which I don't mind and I've got quite used to that by now so that when I hear someone referring to "Willow" or "Willow's" it sounds like they mean me!
