GTKY: Username/picture

Jens_Hoes

Stolen from TTGP:
What was your thought process in creating your username and picture?

Jens_Hoes

Mine used every ounce of creativity in my body, it is my first name and part of my maiden. Picture is my puppy. I'm obviously not a catfish, as I'm too stupid to cover up my personal information lol

OmegaRose3

Mine is corny, omega means end or last since it's my last baby, Rose is a family name and 3 is the number of pregnancies I've had.
My current picture is of my baby bearded dragon cuddling my baby bump and for quite a while it was my adult beardie wearing a holiday bow.

bubsalicious

For my username: Abs is a nickname and I like bubbles. 
Picture: I thought it was fitting because I was eating so many hamburgers I was pretty certain that is what we would see on the u/s

Kateriee

My user name is my nickname given by my great uncle. My picture is just of my when my husband came back from a year deployment about 26 weeks ago.

Kipperoo

Much like @Jen_Shoes, I didn't make much effort to hide personal details. It's a hybrid of my last name and a nickname (Tinnaroo), that my husband used to call me in high school...Which was an evolution of a nickname my sister had for me as a child (Tin-Tin). And my profile pic is Dolly Parton giving the guns because I think she's pretty fabulous. 

NotAPlaya-JustCrushAlot

My username accurately describes me.  JK.  It's simply my inner gansta hanging out.  My picture is a fantastic strawberry/beer concoction in front of a fire pit taken on a girls trip right before we started TTC.  You know, all things I'll be giving up for awhile, beer and girls trips.

rebecca517-2

I am not very creative. My user name is my name and the month and year i'm due. Pretty sure anyone could figure that out. My profile picture is just a beautiful photo I found when I was planning my trip to Bali a few years ago. 

hp_momma

My username is an H for DD1 (Halee) and P for DD2 (Paige) and momma of course. Sorry, not a Harry Potter fan! I guess I'll have to add a third letter for this LO whenever we decide on a name...

My profile pic used to be a family picture but I recently changed it to a cactus because of my desire to be out of the rain and back home in the desert! 

nda_roxybabe

My username was one I started using in high school.

-My nn in HS was "Nda", pronounced "en-duh"
-I loved Roxy (the brand) stuff. I was known around town by my jeep which sported the license plate "RXYGRL", a Roxy license plate cover, and a large Roxy sticker. People would be like "You're RoxyGirl?! I see you everywhere!" haha.
The babe? Well, it was high school...it sounded cool?

When I was on TK it was before you could tag people so everyone just called me "Rox". A lot of us are still friends and they still call me that sometimes

ETA: Picture. When I first got pregnant I picked a random "Hello October" picture so at least my face wouldn't be on here. Since then I keep changing with the season

achays11

Username is nothing special. A combo of my name and favorite number. Picture is of DD playing on the beach. 

starphish18

Thanks to two older brothers, I went through a Phish phase back in middle school. Such a little nerd. (Reminds me of the line from that Valentine's Day movie where the one kid comments that a particular girl in his class is the only other one with Frank Zappa on her ipod. I had/have an eclectic taste in music.) Anywho, I came up with starphish during that time and the name still makes me happy. Profile pic is me and H on our honeymoon. I picked it because it gave a little glimpse of me without feeling too "here's my face", since I'm a pretty private person.

thistlenweeds

i wanted a username that i didn't use anywhere else (paranoia much, i know), so it's a title of a song i love by Mumford & sons.
Picture: i love Pusheen so there. The text says 'if i were tiny i would sleep on a marshmallow'

Squirtgun

My username is a nickname husband gave older daughter when she was tiny and there was an unfortunate diaper incident. I believe it went something like "I didn't know girls could be squirtguns too!  I thought you only had to worry about that with boys!" 
Picture is older daughter in her first snowsuit. 

erinh2005

I'm like a lot of you who didn't hide much personal info and reused a screen name from HS. Lol just firstname last initial and grad yr. Luckily DH had the same last initial so I kept it from the bump. Screen pic is a selfie with DD and I from over the summer. 

BabyMC517

Well mine username is a tough one to figure out...really put a lot of thought into it lol baby because well we're having a baby and MC is my last name initials (hyphenated name) and 517 is birth date and month. 

I just changed just changed my picture because our dog cracks me up sometimes lol she came running around the corner while I was sewing with her ball in her mouth like "hello we're supposed to be playing right now!" Her name is Stella so I can yell "Stelllllaaaaa!" Lol

KMD1106

I'm not very creative. KMD is my initials and 1106 is my anniversary month and year. My picture is rings/flowers from my wedding day. I haven't changed any of that since ttc #1. My siggy pic is DD and our dog. I guess I could have that as my profile pic now!

ShadeofGreen816

@Jen_Shoes  thanks for this - I actually have been wanting to start this thread for weeks/months but keep forgetting!!

I, too, reused a HS remnant. This was my AIM screen name back in the day. I was a big Incubus fan and one of my favorite songs by them was called "A Certain Shade Of Green" and I was born in 87. Plus green is one of my favorite colors so it always felt fitting. 

ETA: Not difficult to figure out but pic is one of my favorite wedding pics from our wedding. I liked that it didn't show our faces for the purposes of this board

pshaortao

Mine is two words meshed together, including my first name. Picture is DD and myself when we did her 1yr shoot. Kind of uncanny how personal it is when I crop out my face for HDBD. Whatev.

WombThereItIs

I came up with my username when I needed to create a new account after I had my old one deleted during the great TB exodus after the end of my last pregnancy. I wanted something kind of funny and it's the name of the pregnancy tests Mona Lisa uses in Parks and Rec. 

The picture is the cover of Go The Fuck To Sleep because duh. 

roper2617

 My username used to be babyroper16 because we were supposed to have a baby Roper in 2016, but that ended in a MC and we didn't have another viable pregnancy until now. That user name broke my heart so I changed it but I wanted my new user name to be kind of familiar as I was active on TTCAL board. This one is DHs last name and our birthdays. I just happen to think my picture is adorable, so that's why I chose it. For those mobile bumping it says "I wish I were a glow worm. A glow worms never glum. How can you be grumpy when the sun shines out your bum!"

bacorrea

My username is a mash up of my name. My picture is of Phineas, my St Bernard mix. 

mrsrep123

My "go to" username was a nickname family and close friends called me, missree. Then when I got married I updated the miss to mrs and the ree to my initials now, rep. 123 was my pager code (remember those lol) for Re (shortened version of my name).  

My picture is a silhouette shot from our maternity pics with DS. I'd like to recreate it with this baby bump! 

chailife34

Mine is a play on the Jewish word for "life" (l'chaim is "to life), and I also like chai lattes. Photo is a peace sign as I am a crunchy hippie. 

Icarriedawatermelon

Mine is twofold....

First, because I remembered with DD a watermelon was the fruit for week 40.

Second, dirty dancing foreva!!!!!!

mdlorenz

I'm boring and didn't think at all about forums when I joined TK forever ago. Mine is a name mash up + pic is one of my faves from our wedding. I'm looking up at DH with lovey eyes as he puts the ring on my finger.

mspacman34

My username comes from high school when I played basketball. My pic is one I took at a zoo, but some reason it uploaded sideways, so that was not on purpose!

PghMom412

Mine is because in Pittsburgh - PGH- we have a funny YouTube series called Pittsburgh dad that pokes fun at everything a stereotypical "yinzer" (Pittsburgh-er) dad/parent does. It's hilarious because it echos my childhood with almost 100% accuracy. I would encourage you all to watch it, but you might not find it funny unless you know someone or have lived in the city. 412 is our area code for the city of Pittsburgh. 

My photo is Jalapeño Hannah- one of the Pittsburgh Pierogies- running in PNC Park at a baseball game inning stretch break. I took the photo at a Pirates game last summer. 

CherryBananas

Mine is boring. I started using variations of cherry-something a few years ago when creating user names and I was craving sweets the day I created my bump account. My picture is from a colouring app I had on my old phone that I liked.

inomniaparatus2

Mine is boring. It's my initials and I was always number 2 in sports. I didn't want to use my own picture so I used one of my dogs

RedInLove

I picked this name when I was getting married and was active on The Knot a long time ago. Red is my favorite color, and I was in love. Profile pic is (I think?) a picture of some flowers that I took on a cruise several years ago. 

0408Bear

Mine is very plain jane. Bear is what I call DH with our anniversary date. And my picture is, well, the default!

MoshiMoshi7

Mine is also a throwback from high school. It's the name of a song by Brand New.

My pic is of my German Shepherd baby sleeping on the couch.

kns1988

I've always been terrible at coming up with usernames, even in the days of aim. Mine is my initials and birth year. My pic is my dog and I playing in a fountain back in college.

Louise_Belcher

I love Bob's Burgers and Louise is probably my favorite character, so I picked her as my user name and picture. My mom is basically a real life Linda Belcher even down to the hair and glasses. 

jayandaplus

I'm loving these!

DH's name is Jay, mine starts with an A, so there's that part. I didn't intend to be on the forums much but when I started my foruming it was in the infertility boards. So I wanted something positive. As in hopeful and BFP, so there's the "plus". 

My picture is one of our wedding pics (day after actually). Before that it was an engagement photo. I know it's sappy, but I truly feel DH is my partner in all of this so I like representing him a bit.

redheeler

Username has quite a backstory, but basically there is a tradition here that Utes (aka trucks, Australian slang) get given names, "partially domesticated" was the name of my first ute (there was a big thing of naming them like "going feral" or something like that so it was a big joke"

my profile photo is a photo I took of DS while I was mucking around with a new camera and I love it 

MrsFox2008

My username, like some is part of my name. 2008 is the year DH and I started dating. My profile picture is a of a beautiful mountain where DH and I visit 2x a year! 

nda_roxybabe

@MoshiMoshi7 I actually think of that song every time I tag you, but never thought that's what you were referencing, haha. I loved (maybe kind of still do) Brand New.

@Louise_Belcher Since day 1 I've been like I like her, she likes BB. Love it!

This is a lie. You will always be jen's hoes to me. I can't remember who pointed it out before you added the _ but I can't see your name any other way anymore.

I love Mumford & sons! 



I'm pretty boring. My name is Sarah and I'm a September '85 baby. It's not even that i couldn't think of anything, it didn't even occur to me to think of anything creative. 
My picture was originally a picture of my husband and I. I realized I wasn't entitled too comfortable with it so I changed it after I took this photo of a delicious latte. 

llenadevida900

These are so fun!

mine is a throwback from college u/n that I still use all the time (obvi). It's Spanish for "full of life" - I was a Spanish major and at 19 I though I was so clever. The number was added because it was already taken without. 

My pic pic is my daughter's Duck (from "Sarah & Duck") with sunglasses
