Mine's alright, however, I know a lot of people think I chose it after my favorite Jersey Shore character. Eh, not the case but that's alright.
I'm so not creative so I have no idea what I would change it too.
I have to jump on the "Janda" train, I always say "janda" even thought I know it's "J and A". @oursecretelopement for some reason I always say "our secret development" I don't know why. @katnhiding I always in my head say "cat in hiding" Is that what it's supposed to be?
...I just got this now.
@Lizbeth2462 I probably shouldn't admit this, but it wasn't until this thread that I realized you and @lizabethc aren't the same person. There are two of you!
Haha yeah when I saw @lizbeth2462 posting I figured there may be some confusion... at least our siggys are different.
Married 9-1-12 (On Depo until 4-12) Me- 33, DH- 36
NTNP starting 9-12, Actively TTC since 9-13
My DX- Hypothyroidism. Prescribed Synthroid
DH's DX- Severe MFI- first SA results: 1.3 mill (1.2 mill motile), 21.6% motility, 2% morphology
Blood test revealed low testosterone so DH was prescribed Clomid. Repeat blood test and SA in November.
I don't not like mine, but I've thought about changing it since I'm pretty identifiable if someone I knew in person saw it. I would probably change it to whatever is sitting on my desk when I had to choose because I'm that creative.
The one that I know I pronounce wrong and don't care is @jcsumm0. I always say it as j-shoe-mo. I know the c is before the s and that it's a zero, not an o. Don't care.
I wish I could change mine since it is part of my e-mail address, but oh well. I'd change it to Jortina which was a joke baby name we had for DD when I was pg.

Hahaha it's okay @babycowbell, like @lizabethc I figured we would get mixed up or thought to be the same person! Good thing she's pretty awesome, so I don't mind if people confuse her for me or vice versa
I totally wish I had picked something different. For one, it's my real first name. It's pretty unique too so I feel like I'd be easily recognized or found on social media. The other bad part is that people often misspell it when tagging me - usually as "Aaron".
The other part I hate is all the numbers I put after it. It's our wedding date (9-10-11). I know I hate tagging people with a bunch of number so it's annoying.
I keep thinking about changing it but I'm not sure what to. I'd want it to be close to what I have now so people still recognize me. Some friends in college nicknamed me "Ren" so I've thought about using that somehow. I feel like I need a fresh start after our loss so maybe I will put some thought into it.
Late to the game, I napped my face off after work.
1) Do you still like the Bump name you picked?
No, I'd probably pick something more secretive. Oh well.
2) If you could do it over, what name would you choose, assuming you didn't have to worry if it already belongs to someone else?
PrinceSammy after my dog. That's his actual name.
Extra credit: Which other Bump peeps do you have a nickname for in your head or always pronounce wrong, even though you know better?
@oursecretelopement is OSE, obvi
@EllyD14 I always think of LED, like the light bulbs
@Mrswirt2013 I say in my head as "Mrs Squirt" (I'm sorry!!)
@brettanomyces is Brittany Mices. That one makes no sense. Ha
I'm realizing I have a lot of ridiculous nicknames for you ladies. There are more but a lot have been addressed.
My original screen name had an ampersand in it and I quickly discovered I wasn't taggable. Sad face. So I regretted it for a few weeks until @EllyD14 told me I could email the Bump Gods to change it.
Sometimes I see "meat band" when I see @MeatandBandP.
I also used to pronounce @catmagick as "cat mah gick" until I figured out it said "magic."
hahaha that's awesome. I was thinking about that the other day and wondering who it was who had said that about my name!
I pretty much love my SN and think it rules, but if I had to do it again I might change it to something to do with music since it's what I do. But really no, I would not change it. I don't think I really have any nicknames for people but I am certain I mispronounce plenty.

TTC #1 8/2012~Chronic Pelvic Pain Condition began 10/2012~Told I was crazy by many doctors until a good specialist DXed a labral tear and bone impingement in left hip 4/2013~Surgery on left hip: 5/31/13 SUCCESS!!! Pain flares to continue indefinitely (but mostly gone).
Resumed TTC 6/2013~Chronic stomach pain and distension: 8/2013~TTA 1/2014 Until Resolved ~7/2014: Trip to the Mayo Clinic--SUCCESS!! Finally on the road to getting better.
Resumed TTC 7/2014! Third time's the charm....8/2014 Visited the RE~DX: MFI/low morph~Straight to IVF with ICSI! 9/2014~Transferred 1 perfect beautiful 6AA blast with 10 to freeze!!!~10/8/2014: BFP!!!! EDD: 6/17/15 STICK LITTLE BEAN!!! IT'S A BOY!!!!!
Nope, I love my name. I hate to disappoint, but my last name isn't really Waffles. My husband's last name is kind of hard to pronounce and my dad can't pronounce it but it sounds like waffles so that's what he started calling me and it's stuck and now everyone calls me Waffles.
I wouldn't change my name.
Hmm... some have been named already. Janda, @oursecretelopement, the tale of two lizabeths, singing that 80s song @WhoCanItBeNow... I pronounce @WolFox in my head as Wolf-Ox. @mbrookeRN as I'm broke RN. I sing @slappalicious's SN to the tune of Fergalicious in my head.
I've wanted to change mine forever. When I signed up for TB, I didn't do it with the boards in mind. I didn't think I'd become a regular poster. Whoops. I just finally put in for a name change request. We'll see if it happens.
I just recently had my SN changed, so I know I should be happy, but it turns out I only liked this name in theory. I gave the bump gods three options in my name change request, and this snickerdoodle one was my last choice and the lamest of the bunch (although it seemed kinda clever at the time), so of course it was picked. Oh well.
If I could do it all over, I'd choose Erlgrey or something like that, because it's a play on DD's name and other personal tidbits.
I don't have nicknames for bumpies, but I pronounce several names differently. All of which have already been listed by pp, so I'm going to be lazy and not list them again.
BFP #1: 3/4/2011 ~ EDD 11/14/2011 ~ DD Born 10/26/2011
I don't like my name. It's so boring. I'm not creative so I don't know what I'd change it to but I'd want something with no numbers. Also, something that would give me a cool nickname like some bumpies have.
And because of this thread, I'm going to think of LED lights when I see @EllyD14, oursecretdevelopment when I see @oursecretelopement, and I'll find myself singing @slappalicious to the tune of bootylicious. Thanks guys.
1) Do you still like the Bump name you picked? Eh. I changed my SN from my actual first name plus some numbers to this one. My grandpa called me this all the way up until he passed away, so it is sentimental, but I find it hard to take even myself seriously with "pookie" in my SN. I'd make fun of me.
2) If you could do it over, what name would you choose, assuming you didn't have to worry if it already belongs to someone else?
I wanted something with a play on some of my favorite movies, but I guess they were all taken.
Extra credit: Which other Bump peeps do you have a nickname for in your head or always pronounce wrong, even though you know better? Another one for Janda. I always sing WCIBN. I mispronounce a lot of other ones but I think they have been mentioned.
I really like my SN and wouldn't change it It is a combo of meanings for my first and middle names without being too obvious.
A lot of PPs already mentioned some of my favorite SNs, but I wanted to give a shout out to TTGP Grad @HisGirlFriday929 because I just found out on Buzzfeed today that His Girl Friday is actually a movie from the '40s that I now want to see
I don't not like mine, but I've thought about changing it since I'm pretty identifiable if someone I knew in person saw it. I would probably change it to whatever is sitting on my desk when I had to choose because I'm that creative.

OMG, I just realized I pronounce @jcsumm0 as "J scum" I'm sorry That's just how I read it in my head.

I thought of two more!
When I see @mchupie I think it's M Shoopie and immediately start singing Shoop by Salt 'N' Pepa.
And MuskieFan... I forget the numbers? I think of Music Fan. Because reading is hard.
Where is @wishiwaspreggo? I like mine, but afterwards, kind of wished I had chosen patsystone from Ab Fab (my siggy pic) but I don't know if anyone has that one. It's weird when people bitch at their sisters in WTF thread, for a second, I always think it is about me when they start "WTF sister..."
Hmph! My nighttime bumping is on hiatus until I catch up with Grey's Anatomy :P
Yes, my screen name is stupid and I know it. I made the error of using my first initial and last name as my old screen name and it was very obvious who I was so I wanted to change it to prevent people from knowing who I am. I was hormonal and I think I'd just gotten a BFN so I was thinking "I wish I was pregnant." First I tried a variety of combinations with "lesbian" and "mom" but there are tons of lesbian moms apparently so that didn't work. I'm used to my IRL friends saying "preggo" (they're also the types who blow baby dust everywhere too) and I erroneously thought it was an acceptable term. I understand now. Anyway, there you have it. Even if I do finally get pregnant I'm not changing my name!
1) Do you still like the Bump name you picked? - No. I've had it since I was on the Knot 5 years ago so I'm over it. I have no idea how to change it though
2) If you could do it over, what name would you choose, assuming you didn't have to worry if it already belongs to someone else? Something to do with Lillypad, Lillyflies, or Lillybugs. Both are three nicknames three different people have for DD and I love them all lol.
I wish I hadn't picked it but it's too late to change now. I picked it because when we first started temping and charting, I found a link to TTGP and I just wanted to lurk and ask questions about charting to be more familiar with it. I wasn't planning on sticking around long, dammit.
My dog is a catahoula and I got a semi-gag gift from my brother with her picture on a water bottle saying I was a catahoula momma and I thought it was hilarious. Now I'm stuck with it.
If I wanted to change it I'd probably do a one liner from Friends or something. IDK.
ETA: @starscream I always read as "stars cream". I'll have to add more when I remember.
I'm late to the party, but no regrets here. I figured I'd make my s/n for TTC a dedication to this "baby" that I gave up for TTC.
Why would you give that up for ttc? You're not pregnant yet! Ride that bad girl!
Yah I bought a practical family car when I started TTC. God I can't believe what an idiot I was when I started! I seriously thought I needed to stop drinking, eat all natural, and take lukewarm baths. So glad I started lurking here. I cant get back my car but at least I can enjoy wine and cookie dough in a hot as fuck bath.
@ToryKate, +1 to hot as fuck baths. I like it when my skin turns pink. I feel the same way, too-- the 2WW used to be walking on egg shells and now I'm enjoying my life- no matter what part of my cycle I am in.
