Mine is because everyone usually calls me Kyz, Kys. At college a friend used to spell it as Kaiz and it just sort of stuck. 23 is my birthday date and dont ask me why there is a one at the end, I had the same for my bebo account and assume there was already a Kaiz23 on there so I just added a one to the end.
Have tried to change it to just "kaiz" on here but theres not enough characters. ]]> Sun, 17 May 2009 19:20:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26501&PID=688500&title=where-does-your-name-come-from#688500 <![CDATA[Where does your name come from? : Mine is really complicated but...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26501&PID=688491&title=where-does-your-name-come-from#688491 Author: rachelsea

Then on the next forum I joined... a wedding website it looked pretty strange...

And on this web site well......"girl that used to run but now sits on couch" is too many letters so I guess I am stuck with it.
