GTKY: Your Screenname

JAGinMI

How did you come up with your bump name? 

Mine is very boring - it's my initials and I live in MI.

FSUNole31

FSU is where I went to school, the mascot is the Seminoles and 31 is the date my son was born.  

mirdamae03

Back in the good ol' AIM days (although I still use AIM for business purposes), I needed a screenname and my best friend at the time and I decided to do matchy ones. I'm Mirda (short for Miranda) Mae because it rhymed and 03 because that was her birthday month. Yay junior high...

jc_twomamas

Mine is my nick name from growing up with an initial on the end. 27 is how hold I was when I joined TB. Boring! 

brij2006

My name is Bridget and Brij is a nickname.  2006 was the year I graduated.

xomarisaxo

Mine is my name lol (original) and xo are the obvious corny hugs and kisses 

Knottie42089123

Mine is a family-given nickname that has been passed on for generations

mrlight

Mine is my first two initials and my last name.

anitamargarita_82

Mine is my high school license plate WEARMI1.  Which is Illinois you have to pay extra for all letters so I modified it, what I wanted was WHEREMI because I was beyond directionally challenged as a teenager!  wearmi1 has been my go to screen name for everything since I was 16. 

Assiram42

Mine is my name spelled backwards and a number I like.

Wino0920

I love wine! And my first son's birthday. I tried using my Birthday but it was already taken. I already had my first son when I signed up so I used his instead. 

lala123321567789

Mine is a nickname my hubby gave me when we were dating, we did long distance for 2 years and emailed all the time.... I was a terrible speller at first but got offended when he called my Typo thus the added  perfect haha. Years later and he still calls me Typo. I can spell now though!!!

danij0

Dani is a nickname for Danielle and Jo is short for my middle name JoAnn. Quite creative.

Yailani23

Yailani is my middle name and 23 is the day I was born & I used to be a huge fan of Derek Jeter (2) & A-Rod (3).

n0soup4u

Mine is because my husband ALWAYS says "it's fine'. No matter what situation we are , it's always  'it's fine'

mkrel

Initials of DH, me, our dog, and last initial... and we live in TX.  Super creative, I know.. 

momma2char

Charlotte's mom! I'll have to change it once this little one is born. 

njeeoann

Back from my AIM days.  It's actually switching between my first name (Jeanne) and the first car I owned (Dodge Neon).  I was obsessed with my first set of wheels, named her Blanche

I am so glad to see this and hope I start to think Marissa when I see you because until now I can't help but saying ass-ih-ram in my head!

When you comment, I inevitably start by saying "it's fine" in my head and sometimes your comment which follows is kind of funny when you think it started with "It's fine..."!

swanbrooner

There is a really bizarre kid pageant documentary that appeared on HBO called "Living Dolls" that I was mildly obsessed with for awhile. Think Toddlers and Tiaras meets a Christopher Guest mocumentary. The documentary centers around Swan and her family. 

peachykeen16

I love Grease and Stockard Channing!  She uses the term peachy keen in the movie and 16 because..... actually I have no idea why, I guess I thought it sounded good

BellaO21

mine also goes back to an old AIM s/n from back in the day! lol...  background: My younger sister has Downs Syndrome, and my family is Italian. We have called her Bella (Beautiful in Italian) since she was an infant.... to the point where she sometimes tells people it is her real name now (LOL) 021 was taken when I made the s/n so I used an O instead.  21 is my favorite #, growing up- and even to this day my sister is my world. 

Mashunya425

I am Russian...the screen name is one of the diminutives of my name (Maria) with some random numbers at the end.

CurlyMommy416

I have an uncontrollable curly mane, am a mom ( duh ) and 416 is my birthday.

My friend and I wanted code names and so we wrote our names backwards and I snickered like a 16-year-old boy when I read it aloud.  Her name was Stacey and I call her Ye-cats to this day and she calls me Ass-I-ram.

mtvkv5

mine is from my first undergraduate user id that was assigned to me, which is my maiden name initials and 3 random characters. It has stuck with me since then. 

LAMCH1980

I love this! I'm remarried, so I had 3 last names over the last 36 years. Mine includes all of my initials and the year I was born. 

glitterfish-2

My husband has a tendency to get pouty, so I call him pout-pout fish and I'm his Glitter Fish.

BelhurstBride

Mine is from when I created a name for The Knot 10 years ago. Belhurst Castle was the name of our reception venue. 

zseirecarg

Mine is my first name (Grace) and middle name (Riesz), very creative I know. Riesz (pronounced Reese) was my Grandmother's maiden name and if we have a girl, what we plan to name her. 

Ahutch428

Mine is super creative, it's my first name and part of our last name with our wedding anniversary. Almost everyone at work calls me Hutch

tjvan

Nothing clever for me... first initial of my first name, middle name, and first 3 letters of my last name. I tried to be pretty vague when I made it bc I was so worried about someone I know seeing it!

Considering you and I have the same name (minus an S) I should have realized !  Lol

doodleoodle

There's a song called Bushel and a Peck that my husband used to sing to me while we were dating. Part of the song goes, doodle oodle oodle. DH started calling me doodle and it stuck. Doodle was already taken as a screen name, so I added on oodle.

Waiting4Fred

When I got pregnant the first time, I had a new student joint my class the same day I got my BFP. His name was Fred. We jokingly nicknamed the LO Fred. When I joined TB, I didn't think super hard about the longevity of the name. We actually lost that LO very soon after I joined TB.

silliegirlie143

It was an old email and AIM handle that, for the life of me, I cannot remember the significance. Sadder yet, it may be older than some of the Moms in this BMB! 

I must be getting old...

mombod

Mombod bc after baby number 1 I am forever changed and thats ok.

bel194

Long story short.. I created this username as an 8ish year old for a club penguin (anyone remember?!) account and then just kept using it for other things. I got a dog when I was 8 and named her Rose but wanted to change her name to Belle (after beauty and the beast) a couple weeks later, but my parents wouldn't let me. So I basically named the username after my dog, based on the name I wish she had. Belle194 was taken so I shortened it to Bel. And the 194 was supposed to be 1994, the year I was born. Not sure why, but when I joined The Bump, I didn't put much thought into a new username and just automatically typed this one. 

NamelessAria

@Waiting4Fred If you wanted you can change your username. I'm not 100% how to do it but I've seen several ladies change it so I know there is a way. I mean if you like it by all means keep it. It just sounded, for some reason, like maybe you were regretting your choice now. If I'm interpreting what you said wrong then my apologies. 

____________________________________

My username is pretty boring in it's inspiration. I'm just absolutely terrible at making usernames and I can never decide on anything. I kept thinking "I wish I could just now have a name and go nameless with just an avatar picture or something." and then I'm like "heeyyyyy Nameless" I also love music and have always thought arias were beautifully named to match their usually beautiful sound. I decided it was cute because it could also be a composition that hadn't been named yet. I sorta pictured some really pretty, uplifting aria by some unknown composer that never received a name and was sort of lost in time. So NamelessAria.
