How did you pick your screen name?

Flutterby00

Flutterby is the name of a childrens book and character - its a little Pegasus.  Very cute.  00 - no reason other then Flutterby by itself was already taken!

Spanchez

Combination of my maiden name (Spata) and married name (Donchez). When DH and I got married it was a joke that I shouldn't be the only one to change my name, but that we both should!

kdjudd

Well... I got really creative. I took my name and voila the rest is history :P

jennlin

jenn= short for jennifer
lin= my maiden name

people have called me jennlin since i was about 6yo.

*common chinese last name, i'm not worried, google me, you won't find me! or you will, but you'll have to decide which jennifer lin i am/was, since there are 4 of me in the seattle-area within a few years age difference of me.

babygiantquest

My husband is 6' 8", and we always joked that if we ever had a kid, he would be my baby giant and would outgrow me by kindergarten (I'm 5' 2").  After two miscarriages, I was desperate for this one to stick (especially because it was a surprise pregnancy this time around).  Thus, I was questing for a baby giant.

MrsShankly1012

Mine is from a Smiths song, kinda.  Because I still pick screen names like I'm in high school.  The numbers are DS1's birthday

norbert5

Norbert was the name of my turtle when I signed up and 5 was because we had 5 turtles at the time.  We were keeping them for my in laws. 

Sadly Norbert died but his name lives on.

caseyp10

10 is the year I signed up on The Knot and caseyp is just my first name and last initial (at the time). Super creative I know.

laurenmdrn16

Mine is my name, middle initial, last initial, RN for registered nurse and I was born on the 16th.

Arod1087

First intial. Beginning of last name. Birthday. And I'm also a Yankees fan so it worked out..even if the real a.rod is a d.bag

LitalovesKay

Mine is my name Lita and my LO will be named Kayden. So LitalovesKay

First initial, last name, dh's race car number = afolske106

Your DH races? What does he race? And where?

jarebearsmom

My kid is jarebear and I'm his mom. I wish I had done something different now that I have another kid

Houseplant

I tried a couple screen names that were taken already, so I decided to scan the room to see if anything jumped out at me.  Houseplant it is!

AshleighW13

I've used AshleighW13 since college

Ashleigh-my name

w-initial of maiden name

13-day of my birthday, lucky number, high school basketball number

Kessho

Put crystal through a English to Japanese translator got two different words decided to go with this. Then when used it for everything from WoW player name to bump sn.

MrsMommyQ

I had an old Knot name but didn't want to use it here bc no one knew we were TTC (I started bumping 4 years ago before I had my daughter and knew my old knotties would find me fast).  So I made a new one. Mrs.=bc I'm married. Mommy=I was hoping to become a mommy and Q is the first letter of my last name.

disneymomtotwo

It's the screename I use for most accounts. I made it in high school. I unconsciously speak very loudly (just like my mom) and got told quite frequently to lower my voice. And my nn is Gera!

calibr8te

It's my standard screen name for most things. It relates to my need to design people's spaces and create proper room flow, thus calibr8te.

LetsGoToDisney

We make an annual family trip to Disney with DH's dad's family and my family. I picked the name right after we booked our trip. 

jessiedawn921

First and middle name and the numbers are our dating anniversary sept. 21

chuicafina

Mine was my NN all through HS. It became my SN for lots of things. I actually kind of wish I'd gone with something less obviously "me" to old friends, but I guess the chances that they're lurking here are relatively low.

But now I want to know why your turtle's name was Norbert!

I was a school teacher off for the summer when I signed up for the the bump.  I had been on an Ally McBeal bender for a few days when I finally got a sn and started posting. 

Sdeux

S is the first letter of my first name = Sarah
Deux is French for the number 2.
One of my best friends name is Sarah as well and we grew up next door to each other. Two Sarah's, We came up with "Sarah Squared" = S2. Silly nickname but that's where it comes from.
Chose the French spelling because its Canada's second language and looks prettier than Stwo!

Mine was actually part of my maiden name and my university email. Now that I'm married and out of school it doesn't make sense but it looks like I meant for it to be "AL Fan" (Alabama Football)....so I'm rolling with it...lol

Roll Tide

Yay!!! I thought I was the only Bama fan on this board. I graduated from there in 2003. Roll tide!

RobinSparkles1981

I picked it by being awesome...true story

Amjoy25

I'm pretty sure it has been done...but, first initial, middle initial and maiden name with the age I was when I first got an email account. I'm so old.

Lilpoppy

We have called our LO "Poppy" ever since finding out I was pregnant and he was the size of a poppy seed!
