Re: Why did you choose your nick, if it's not a nick saluting a player?
Getta is the shortened version of my real first name, Georgia (Georgetta) that is. i was named after my grandad George and everyone i know calls me Getta.
soft G sound please.
hard G doesn't fit the mold of a softie known for her gentle falsetto.

I'm glad you said... I had assumed hard G, though it's true in most names in which "e" follows, the g is usually soft

I love tennis. There is a movie Lawrence of Arabia. I though it would be a good word play and a good nickname. Lawrence is my real name and I love tennis so I'm the LawrenceOFTennis  .That's all folks.

The first thing crossed my mind seeing your nickname was the movie: Manon des sources. Great movie although not many people saw it.
