Mine is boring too! My nickname and my last name. Literally no one pronounces my actual first name correctly so I cut out the other three syllables to make it simple.
Story of my life. It never is spelled correctly, either.
I'm a nerd and gamer, so way back when I was less busy with life and playing MMORPGs and had to come up with a gamer handle I came up with this name. It was back when I was into greek mythology. Eris is the the goddess of chaos (which I thought was appropriate for video games) and I had just learned Mozarts Requiem for orchestra and thought it was a fitting last name for the goddess of chaos. Oh man that was so long ago... I think I came up with this name like 12-14 years ago. I don't use it much anymore.
@Boonhilde, how fun! I've seen your username and I wondered it we had that in common I'm a military wife and it's hard being so far from NYC! I go back for auditions a couple of times per year but now with baby on the way, I'm sticking with local gigs. Hope your voice is doing well with the pregnancy!
Mrs is bc I'm married dhouse is my husbands nick name made from our last name, my husbands friends call me mrsdhouse since we are married and I was born in 89.
Mel is short for Melanie, repeated because Mel92 was taken, and 1992 is my year of birth. I would've gone with my usual online name, but it was taken.. So here we are hehe.
Mine is a hold over from my knot and nest days. Britlee is parts of my name and in love from when I joined the knot like 7 years ago... Although the in love still definitely applies
Mine was already established when I made an account with TheKnot ages ago (since you have to make one to peruse their galleries and such) - I just pulled it from my college email. Its my last name, first and middle iniital.
Now all my emails/usernames are made up of my first initial + last name....Madcox here! bahaha. Even my work email
Dannielle is my first name Michelle is my middle name xox to add something at the end? I don't know haha I'm never good at coming up with screen names oh well

I had this from when I used theknot.com. I think it's my first and middle initial and maiden name? (I might have to edit my response once I actually post bc I'm not even sure how it shows up!!)
@jefinley1 OMG that terrible! I will never understand when people act like its actually their business what we've decided to call ourselves! It's our name, we chose it! I'm sorry your MIL does that- that must be so frustrating. You're right- people are never satisfied. I guess if thats the only thing they can use to complain about us, we're doing a pretty good job haha
Mine is also boring. Celly is my nickname and 2015 is of course the year of me and my DH bringing another child into this world. When I was pregnant with my son we used 1031 for everything. Which is his birthday.
My is Bby for baby and Castillo for my boyfriends last name since our baby will be having his last name. I am not creative haha! And I made this account solely for my pregnancy I didn't know it has lot of other cool stuff like the knot and all that!!! I wanted babycastillo but it was taken! That's what we would call our baby when we first found out I was expecting, until we found out the sex and named her shortly after!
I often refer to myself as a Ginger because I have natural red hair. I was just playing around with usernames using Ginger for a new Gmail account and Gmail itself suggested it. Thought it was cute and have used it for various things over the years. Oh and believe it or not the name was taken here so added my lucky number 8 to it.
Mine is lame - my last name and the year we are having a baby.
I love whoever's name has something to do with a fat pony and has a picture of a overweight horse. Cracks me up.
@millette2015 - that's me! I was trying to think of a name when I glanced out my window and saw my chubby little mini-pony stuffing his face with grass. His name is Boo and he was the ringbearer at our outdoor wedding in 2012!
My 11th grade English teacher decided to tell everyone on the first day of school that I had been lying about the pronunciation of my name and that it was really pronounced Cher-ih-zay (my name sounds nothing like it). He even told the class that he spoke with my mother and she and she was heartbroken about me being ashamed of my name (can't you tell he was a character? One of my favorite teachers, ever). Well, people I had known for years were legitimately confused and started calling me ChariZae for a few days. My brother still calls me ChariZae.
jenboston22... My first name is Jen and I used to live in Boston (and, sigh, the 22 -- I created this screen name for another message board when I was 22... I don't know if I always thought I would be 22 or what, but at 30, now it kind of depresses me! haha)
