When I learned that Rachel meant "little sheep", the choice was obvious.

I'll be honest, that made me laugh. Don't know why, but it did.

Dear Drac, why do you sign off 'Fun Sponge' and how did you choose the name? 😉

Is that some form of IUD contraceptive?

No, it’s the female equivalent of the sex beaker.

Surely you mean 'her' ? Sounds like it's still a struggle. Can't be easy, tbh.

Some people identify as “they/them” as opposed to “he/him” or “she/her”. Could well be what that person asked for.

It bothers me as much as it amuses me when people reply to me in a thread as "Phil". Some people that know me in real life will realise who I am straight away.

I'm not sure why it bothers me though. Probably a matter of not following the convention for an online forum of not signing off, and certainly not with your real name. Then again maybe it's not her (or his) real name!

Clearly an imposter...
The real Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of Her other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith, actually signs her name:
