Thanks!

Ok, all this time I thought that was your last name but now that I stop and think why would anyone use their last name. : ) So what is the significance of your moniker???

Say it out slowly out loud you will probably get it lol. I have always liked it too.

Hint: it's a pun.

And you'll get it....Annie Deighnaugh.

I'll admit, I didn't get it at first but now....it's sheer brilliance! :-)

Annie was the picture you posted in the daily show thread from your recent trip to Alaska? Beautiful.

Funny, you had mentioned your working life ages ago so I looked up your name on Linked In. It was there so I thought it was real! Is that you? I had never 'listened' to your moniker phonetically.

Snookums, Really? That's interesting. That's not me on linked in.

Raven, yes that was a pic from Alaska.

I remember it as financial advisor but says IT.

That's not me. I have no real life linked-in profile either.

That appears to be a bogus Linked-in page. It's very unlikely that belongs to someone of that name, but rather as here, it was done with the same joking transcription in mind.

Took me forever, I got it! Love it!

Actually I think that linked in page may work with almost any name and it's just a filler page... I can't imagine anyone would use the exact spelling I did for deighnaugh.

Oh man, I always thought it was a real name and it took arkansas girl's post for me to get it. Maybe I should just have another cup of coffee.

I'm so glad AR girl posted that because I just could. not. get. it. Couldn't! I would say it was my southern accent interfering, but nah, it's just my stupidity.

Alright, I get it, but only after arkansas girl spelled it out - have to say the first name with the rest. Doh!

That is exactly why I wasn't getting it schoolhouse. Don't feel alone!

The Scots thistle threw me off.

Annie, it is pretty odd there is a name out there like that - now that I know what it means! I don't think it's a filler page though. I've seen other sites do that but Linkedin only seems to find real people or comes up empty.

Whew! Glad to know I'm not the only one who didn't get it. I thought it was your real name, too, and wondered about you using your last name. Still couldn't figure it out until Arkansas Girl posted it. I hadn't realized the first name was part of it, plus didn't know how the last name was pronounced. Never would have thought of pronouncing 'Annie' as 'any'. Definitely very clever.

I'm so glad everyone is having so much fun...usually my puns only invoke groans.

Count me in as another that could not "get it". Glad I came back to read the new posts. Always something to bring a smile at KT.

Thank you ARgirl for explaining it. I couldn't get it either.
