We have squirrels in the garden that we love and feed and film. I started off as Squirrel, but that was already taken here so I went for the rarer British version. My hair is not red really, but it does look red in photos.

zella, the story of where my name came from was that Dad's fraternity brother's girlfriend was named Patter. I have never met her, and I tell Mom and Dad that I think they made it up. Who knows? It was the 60s. My grandmother hated my name at first but she came to love it.

My very first internet name back in the 1990s on Prodigy was Volturno. I ended up with that name because the night I signed up the system rejected every cute name I tried so I decided to just do it "blind" by closing my eyes, pull a book off the nearby book shelf (encyclopedias mostly), open it, stab the page with my finger and see if I hit a word the system would take. The first book I touched happened to be a book of maps, it opened to the map of Italy and I hit the Volturno river; which incidentally we had been living nearby before our move back to the US. I decided it was meaningful to me and Prodigy accepted it... so my internet life started off as Volturno which got shortened in my favorite chat room to just Volt.
After a time Prodigy closed and I migrated to AOL (along with a move at the same time from NY to Hawaii) Volturno was already in use on AOL so I had to choose a new name. The new name never felt right so I started trying to figure out how to be "Volt" again. AOL accepted Voltagain as a name.

I have red hair. Pelirroja translates to "redhead". I wish I had registered it as "pelly ro ha" but decided to use the true spelling rather than the phoenetic.
