I had a friend who called me Sandito (real name Sandy). So I created that board name. However, one of the first times I came on and chatted, everyone thought I was a male because of the male ending of my name. With the help of Bill, Chloe, Nova and a few others, they decided I should change it to Sandita so I shortened it and became Dita. Not terribly exotic but I don't think anybody mistook me for a yip-yip dog that sorely needed a bath! grin
