\nThe other day, Iris <\/a>asked me where I got the name “sirexkat” from, and I told her:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n

Sirexkat came about when I had already registered on a site as Sirex, then forgot my password, so had to create a new ID – so used the first 3 letters of my name.<\/p>\n

I used to post to a ParentsPlace forum <\/a>for mums who were pregnant at the same time, way back in 1997. I took my handle from my cat (who is in my profile photo and turned 11 last week). She’s an almost hairless Cornish Rex<\/a> <\/span>. When they breed them with Siamese markings, they are called a Sirex. (sigh-rex). <\/span><\/p>\n

I called my first blog Sirexcite (as in Sigh-rex site and Sigh-rex cite), but saw that when it was written it looked like “Sir- excite” This gives quite a different impression!<\/p>\n

At the moment I’m contemplating ditching it all and just writing everything as “Kathryn Greenhill”. I write as Sirexkat on my blog and lint<\/a> <\/span>, but then as “Librarian Kathryn” when I moderate on lint<\/a>. I’m commenting throughout the
\nblogosphere with sirexkat and Kathryn Greenhill. Getting a bit too confusing for me. (And then there’s Emerald Dumont in Second Life……)<\/p>\n

Oh..way too much about names…maybe I’ll recycle it as a blog post \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nConsider it done. <\/span><\/p>\n

The tipping point<\/a> for me was when Jennifer<\/a> quoted from a post I’d written on lint about “early adopters”<\/a> as “Librarian Kathryn”, and I thought it looked unduly cryptic.<\/span><\/p>\n
