What does your screen name mean?

brookert615

Well it's my name and my birthday. My previous boss used to call me "Brooker T and the Bomb Squad". We had a work softball team and got t-shirts made. I said I wanted my shirt to say "Brooker T" but they forgot the space so then people at work started calling me Brookert as a joke. 

b_1029

mine is boring...1st initial and our wedding date. I'm the worst at thinking of sn's, especially ones that don't include my name. I basically just panicked when I saw I had an obnoxious knottie name and here we are.

misshelen86

Miss Helen is what I insisted everyone call me as a child- she was a character on a tv show. My grandma still calls me Miss Helen sometimes 

varimama

I named my favorite WoW character (blood elf warlock for anyone interested) Variana so I tend to use it in other games too but it was taken so I changed the end from ana to mama since this forum is about becoming a mom. 

whitealbum29

whitealbum29 = The Beatles' White Album, Side 2, Song #9 is Julia which is my name.

brookert615

@whitealbum29 Yes! Love the Beatles ! 

flowntheloop

Mine is a bit of a play on words. It hints at my intent to break free from my obsessive and unhealthy "loops" and do things differently. I'm also a lover of insects (especially flying ones).

shamrocandroll

I realize this one is tricky to guess, but..... sham-rock and roll.    Basically I'm Irish and like music.  Super creative, I know!

inthewoods23

"in the woods" I stole from my SIL who had created a few home movies (like episodes) and that was the title of it. Woods being our last name. I like to use it since I married in so now it's like I'm in the woods.

And 23 for day of the month I was born.

celticknotfire

MH and I are both Irish, I crochet and kinda knit, MH is a firefighter.  So I just mashed it all together!

shamrocandroll

@inthewoods23 My birthday is on the 23rd as well!  Of this month, actually.  And my house # is 23.  It's a good number!   

marebear15

Is it sad that I was on here the last time we did this GTKY (9 months ago) and so were like 5 others of us?

Mine is a nickname and my birthday.

whitealbum29

@celticknotfire - omg for some reason I've been reading this as Celtick Not Fire even tho I know how to spell Celtic and have heard of a celtic knot....duh! This makes more sense.

inthewoods23

@shamrocandroll 23 is always a good number!

Off topic, but our Christmas party this year was kinda casino themed with blackjack tables and a roulette wheel. I think 23 came up more often than any other number the whole night!

b_1029

@marebear15 I think I was here for the last one too (or at least read it during my stalking). Just figured I would do it since there's so many new ones!

inthewoods23

@whitealbum29 I did that with my MIL's email address. she's a quilter and her first name starts with K so her email is kwilter[her name]@ whatever and I always used to read it as k wilter [her name] which I always thought was weird but okay... Until I realized she had a fun way of spelling quilter!

It's easy to struggle when words aren't given spaces lol

kbrown2385

Mine is basically my name and bday lol. Original I know. 

begging4abump

Mine means that I was super desperate for an outlet and didn’t know how these forums operated until I lurked and read the pinned posts...and that I didn’t feel like starting over once I figured it out. I regret it, but tbh, I’m still struggling for a quality replacement. Maybe something with puns like pundamentals, but I’m not sold on it, so just soldiering on. 

@whitealbum29 I had the exact same thought process!

also a 23 birthdate over here! @inthewoods23 @shamrocandroll

kbrown2385

@begging4abump @inthewoods23 @shamrocandroll +1 for 23 birthdate! 

mercury94

*TW LC mentioned* DS’s name is the same as a famous person with the last name Mercury. 94 is one of my lucky numbers (it’s from Star Wars). I love this question. 

begging4abump

@brookert615 I always call you brooker t Washington in my head 😂

mercury94

@whitealbum29 I love how you came up with that. Also a big Beatles fan. 

whitealbum29

@begging4abump @brookert615 - haha that's crossed my mind too! I told myself at one point "It's NOT Brooker T, it's prob just her first name and middle initial and last initial." It was tho!

mercury94

@brookert615 I always call you Booker T and the MGs and get confused when I can’t tag bookert. 

brookert615

Just an FYI my name is just Brooke - should have clarified  .

@begging4abump Bahah! That's so funny! Your screen name is so easy to tag! Maybe some kind of generator can help if you decide to change it up haha. Just give us a warning  .

@whitealbum29 Hopefully that hides my identity LOL. 

@mercury94 MH calls me Booker! Maybe if I need to create a "friend" on TB it will be Booker!  And I love the meaning of your screen name! 

celticknotfire

@whitealbum29 that is so funny!  I never even thought of that.

kagesstarshroom

@shamrocandroll My house # growing up was 23. It's weird the attachments we form to #s!

Mine is the name I chose for Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery--a dumb game I play on my phone. "Kages" is a sort-of word version of how my initials SOUND and Starshroom I thought sounded wizardly haha--K & S are my first & last name's initials sooo. I'm so CrEaTiVe.

mercury94

@kagesstarshroom I’ve played that game too. Not too far into it, but it’s a good time waster. 

kagesstarshroom

@mercury94 TRULY a good time waster. But I have on occasion like caught up w/ the story haha and have been playing almost year and I'm like "I JUST WANT TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED TO KAGES' BROTHER!" LOL. But I can't stop playing.

rikiteacup

Mine comes from the town of Rikitea, located on the island of Mangareva in French Polynesia. I love French Polynesia so much and thought the name would sound funny if you added the 'cup'.

nolemama24

I graduated from Florida State University (Seminoles) and mama is mom in Spanish. 24 is my favorite number. Fun fact, there is a nolemomma14 out there on the bump and we are IRL really good friends! 

mercury94

@nolemama24 I noticed the similar name when I was tagging you earlier. Cool that you know each other. 

spacemountaineer

Space Mountain is one my favorite rides at Disneyland.

If I ever need a "friend" I still love disgruntled pelican (from randoms). Feel free to use it if you need it before me.

@marebear15 - I was here the last time too. It is nice to do it occasionally.

I'm another one with the 23rd for a birth date. 


 

inthewoods23

@spacemountaineer we could all be disgruntled pelican and use a different number at the end to distinguish us.

I call dibs on DisgruntledPelican23 😂

NYTino24

NY Yankees player Tino Martinez was #24.

spacemountaineer

@inthewoods23 - And the other women in the 23 club can be DisgruntledPelican23_1 or  DisgruntledPelican23A   

kels0091

My name is Kelsey. 00 for nothing haha and 91 is year I was born. Not too interesting. I love this GYKY cause I’ve always wondered about other people’s SN 

emeraldduchess

@marebear15 I was here, too...

The emerald part is because green is my favorite color, I think emeralds are pretty, and I love the royal title of "duchess".

shoogapoff

Mine is a reference to a video game streamer that my husband and I watch.  He is British and used to avoid swearing while he played. So instead of cursing he'd say "Sugar puff!" I thought that was funny, so I started using that as my screen name, but spelled as close to phonetically with a British accent as I could get. 

peppyj9

My nickname is Candy, so mine is short for my favorite candy, peppermint (because having it as peppermint seemed too long) and J9 as an acronym for my middle name, Jeanine. Not super creative but it feels like me without being too identifiable. Internet strangers and all... 😝
