My Name is What?

This is my entry for My Name is What?


When I first saw the contest I thought it meant the meaning of my given name, Joanne. I went about taking photos of a coffee mug someone had given me with my name on it.

Lovely words on the coffee mug, “Joanne, A Leader With A Gentle Touch.”

More good characteristics on the back of the mug. I hope to have some of them. ’Noble’ would be a great one.

I don’t have a cup with flattering printings about username @redheadpei.

I have been asked if redheadpei is really my username. I never thought when I first used it but p - e - i could easily be interpreted as sounding a bit weird.

Every time I tried to use redhead it was always taken. I had to add something on if I wanted It as an username. What better than the province of my home?

Redheadpei has been my handle on a few sites. redhead because I am a redhead. The ending of pei (P.E.I.) is the abbreviated name of Prince Edward Island, where I live.

Hello, Joanne!😊 @redheadpei I've been wanting to inquire your real name. I like how you added PEI to the end of your username.
I remember when Precious Moments were really popular, especially in Hallmark stores. I have a collection of them, mainly from my brother gifting them to me. Do you know how old your cup is?

Thanks Nina @ninahaskin. I must have had the cup over 20 years. I’m not sure who gave it to me after all that time. 😊

Wow, 20 years is a long time to have a coffee cup -- mine always get chipped. Cheers, Joanne!☕

This is so sweet. I'm interested in a similar contest writing about our username. I have a friend with the same name. I will tell her about this: Jubilant, Original, Amiable, Noble, Nice, Enthusiastic

Thank you Christopher @mineopoly for stopping by. I will try to keep those positive characteristics in mind and be that person. ❤️

Ahhhhh.......so that is what the letters P.E.I mean! Thanks so much for rising to this challenge Joanne. From what I know of you, every one of those characteristics are on the mark. You live in such a beautiful part of the world and it is always interesting to see your photos and read your blogs. Have a wonderful Wednesday my friend. xox

Thanks so much Trudee for your kind comments. I look forward to seeing your lovely posts with the different places, colourful, interesting animals and flowers from ‘down under.’ Happy Wednesday. ❤️

I love your user name - I don't know why but it just seems to flow somehow.
Cute cup too :)

Thanks Andy. I’m glad you like it. Nina @ninahaskin’s mention of ‘Precious Moments’ had me looking for ones I had stashed away. I found a cute one of a bridesmaid my sister gave me when she got married about 22 yrs ago.
