I used to have an email address with the word Queen in it. I loved my email address in spite of the cracks from my BIL John. (Brother In Law). I got my name from a librarian in Michigan. She was asking me questions for the library card application and when she came to the “Title” question she asked, “Do you want Mr? Mrs? Ms? Or Queen?” I busted out laughing and said that if I got to pick my own title then I wanted “Queen!”When I got home that afternoon, I told my family that I had found my new email address name. And that is how I became QueenGrile.
Well, I kept that name for 10 years.
Until November 17, 2007 - that was the day I remarried and became a “Fish” which meant I had to find a new email name. I wasn’t sure I wanted to keep the Queen name so I adopted a different title, Lady. However; I have really missed being the Queen. I received and purchased magnets, stickers, all kinds of goodies ‘cause everyone knew The Queen. (sigh) It wasn’t just the goodies, it was the recognition factor – I was always able to keep in touch with friends in far away countries like North Carolina, Michigan, and Indiana (wink) because they remembered the name.
I have started to reconsider my email address. I would like to go back to my original “Queen” title….but I hate to go through the effort of changing it and then trying to update everyone and to change the email on all my online “favorites.” My desire for 2009 has been to “Keep it Simple” and I don’t think this falls into that category. After all, it’s only a name.

I am not sure if you were asking for opinions or not...but I say stick with The Queen...Queenfish. Everything I hear the word Queen it is linked in my brain to you! UK even had it in her e mail address before as well, so it has spanned the next generation!
