What's in a name...or in this case a screen name...

mama_cito95

I use my screen name for everything.  It came from a nickname that one of my friends in high school used to call me. It's based on "mama cita" but a play on my last name + year of graduation.

LinnyAnne10

I chose mine cause its a nickname my sisters call me.. 

 

If I could change it I would, I would change it to LinnyAnne, cause that's what everyone calls me 

Papa Bear's Bride

Papa Bear is DH's nickname and I was his bride, so when I signed up for the Knot 3yrs ago, it sounded good. Yes, I would change it if I could. To what, I don't know.

pepomntpat

I like my SN. It is a cross between Peppermint Patty and Pep O Mint Lifesavers.

LemonBlush

This used to be my screenname back from MIDDLE SCHOOL when AIM first got popular... It's my old initials plus my middle school basketball and volleyball numbers haha! Wish I could change it.

scorpiomer

Mine is not very creative either.  It is one that I have used a variation of for years.  Scorpiomer because my astrological sign is scorpio and Mer is the first 3 letters of my name and what most people call me.  For those interested my first name is Merideth.

Brezza:

Brezza - sort of rhymes with Pretzel - is Italian for breezy. My name is Bre and my maiden name starts with a Z so I've always been known as Breezy. But for some reason it's a popular name for people to pick as screen names and thus never available to me - jerks! I studied abroad in Italy and love Italian culture so it's Brezza for me!

Yours was another I always wondered about! This post is working out great LOL

This is a good post! You haven't shared yours yet though!!!

ha-ha I always do that...I dont mean to though LOL

LilBit is what my kids called the baby before we had the U/S (now he is baby man) and 1221 is my birthday. 

larivierek

mine is my last name and first initial. boring, but easy for me to remember...especially with pregnancy brain.

Mine is the punch line to a joke I knew in high school.  Sadly, I've long since forgotten the joke, so it's really not amusing anymore.

I've used this as a screenname for various things (remember the golden days of ICQ?) for probably 15 years now (good LORD I'm getting old).

I remember ICQ!!!    I used to love the sound it made when you got a message - "uh oh".

I remember ICQ! I loved it! lol

My screen name is my nickname and my husbands call number. He's a Lt. with the sheriff's office here.

My twisted mind automatically thought "call" number like escort service LMAO

Anonymi

My screen name is actually my pen name which formed from a joke between me and my best friend. We both had these different people in our head and my sneaky person was dubbed Anonymi because it tried to be anonymous and it was a bit of play on words. But I guess to enjoy writing as much as I do you have to have other characters in your head or else you find yourself just getting bored with the characters you have over and over again. But the full pen name is Anonymi Black or if I feel like trying to pass it off as a real person Gillian A. Black. And FYI my name is not Gillian and my last name is not Black but I won't share my real name but will let you know that my initials including my married name are MNO (which I find slightly hilarious).

hippotree

When I was creating my scren name, I asked my H for two random words.  he said hippo and tree.

I won't change it.  I am famous!  LOL.

I use mine quite a bit because it's never taken.  It's actually a self-inflicted childhood nickname haha.  One day the postman asked me my name and for some reason I told him Hecky Sue Instead of Heather.  I think I was being silly and mixing together my name and my Aunt Suzie's, who babysat me a lot at the time.  It stuck, and my mom and siblings still call me that, or just Hecky, to this day!

That's funny yours is one of the ones I always wondered about...I'm a Heather too BTW

I'm a Heather too, I think the popularity of that name in the late 70's and early 80's shows up more on here than anywhere else in my life.

our parents CLEARLY didnt do popular name research!

hjk5000

hjk5000 was my college email, (initials with a number, 5000-5005 for all the freshmen that started the same year I did).  Since everyone already knew that email for me I used it for another email account and used it when I signed up for the knot, not really thinking I would ever see it this much!

And yet another Heather here, and I know there are 2 others on my Nov board for sure.  Talk about a waaaaaay overused name.  This will be the Aidens in 20, 25 years

missthick

My girlfriends in high school dubbed me "Miss Thick" because every time we went out to the mall or movies some guy would always comment on my small waist/big butt combo. 

Yeah, right now my waist isn't so small and my butt keeps getting bigger.....GREAT!!!!!!!! /sarcasm

I created the knot account when I was 19, just engaged but still partying all the time, so I thought it was "cute".  Now that I'm a bit more mature....yeah I wish I could change it.

K is my first initial, J is DH's first initial, and our LO is a mashup of the two of us. 

and you were also on my list! ha-ha

Ha ha ha! Glad I could clear that up.

As for the other question you asked, no, I don't think I'd change it because, sadly, coming up with that screen name took every bit of creativity I have (which isn't a lot to begin with). 

I would just rather go with something I am used to- my usual nickname...I hate the "lil" part in my SN

~Flossie~

My SN is Flossie because I am a dental assistant.

Oops, I should've clarified: I was referring to my SN and my lack of creativity--not yours. *L*

I chose mine for a reason.  It's an homage, if you will.

 

And no, I wouldn't change it for the world.  I especially like that my husband thought the name was so cool, he simply put a "Mr" in front of it on another site we frequent for HIS name. 

Homage to Buffy, yes?

Joss and the Whedon Bros in general, but yes, Buffy, Angel, Firefly, Dollhouse, and, of course, Dr. Horrible.

MissNikki007

Nikki is short for my middle name, which is Nicole. I stole the 007 from my H's email address. Soooo creative.

My name's Yulia, friends call me Yules. Luckily it's rare enough that I didn't need to add any numbers at the end.

Murdock12

My nickname and my husbands nickname.  I don't love it, but it's actually more recent that my old one that I hated.  Sucked to have to start as a newbie again though

I've been wanting to tell you how much I love your SN and avatar! 

Mine is plumeria for the beautiful  flowers in Hawaii and lost is for my fav. tv show LOST.  That took some serious brain power, let me tell you!  lol  And I'm good with it. 

veronicacorningstone

I had a different name on the Knot and Nest.  It also related to tv news, but someone recognized me and I saw a post about the real me on another board, so it freaked me out. So, I chose Veronica Corningstone because she and I share a career.

Another Heather checking in...

Mine is a combination of UConn where I went to school and my nickname from middle school through college. I was Pinky (or just Pink), because I blushed bright red over everything. I can't actually remember exactly what started it though . It was also my ICQ name!

 

bmqcmg

When I created mine I was signing up for The Knot (I guess I signed up for the wrong board first.... ) so I just used my initials and then his.

I wouldn't change mine if I could... It's still our initials.
