I was born in Camberwel - hence the name (it's a butterfly, in case anyone thinks I'm vain), so that makes me a Sarf Londoner (some would say Cockney, but that ain't strictly true). My Mother was born in Tredegar, South Wales and named Lily, and she was called Lily of the Valleys. Dad was a Sunderland-born Mackem. CB >|<

If you're born within Conwy town walls, you're a Jackdaw for some reason. I would have thought Seagull would have been more appropriate.

Being a Glaswegian, we usually get called Weegies. Don't think Edinburgh folk have a 'name' Christine

Dorothy, 've got no idea why people are called 'Silly' if they come from Sussex - just always had it thrown at me as a child. My sister was born in Gosport (Hog) and my brothers in Malta - that must make them 'aliens' LOL I suppose the real term is Silly Sussexer maggie

My mum was a Kentish maid brought up in the countryside, my dad came from the town Stoke Newington, so I am a suburban mix. Now live in Hitchin and the rugby club are called the Hedgehogs, and they have a white hedgehog on their shirts. nell
