Non-Clicky Poll: How did u come up with your screename?

mrsolsenk12

I know we have done this before, but it has been a while and I have a hard time remembering. Plus we have plenty of new people who I am sure would be interested.

So, how did you come up with your screename?

mrsolsenk12

Prior to having Hayden I was a teacher. At the time I taught in a small country school. So my screename breaks down like this:

mrs olsen (what my kids called me) + k12 (the grades I taught)= mrsolsenk12

 

PhillySue

Mine is pretty obvious...My name is Sue and I am from Philly : )

AuburnBride06

DH & I both are Auburn grads, we met at AU, got married in our campus chapel & I joined the knot back during the planning stages. Got married in 06. Not creative but it worked!

charmcitygirl

I'm from Baltimore and its nickname is Charm City.  Hence, charmcitygirl. 

browneyedgrl4282

I am browneyedgrl because well I have brown eyes! My husband always has the song Brown Eyed Girl for the ringtone when I call. the 4282 part is my birthday April 2, 1982

Magoy

Magoy is how you pronounce my last name.

pinkcallalily

In an attempt to remain as anonymous as possible in case anyone I know in real life is on the bump (or the knot at the time), I literally closed my eyes and hit some keys.  I kind of wish I hadn't done it that way since my screename makes no sense, but it's been too many years now and I'm not starting over with a new one.

alchris

It's the first 2 letters of my first name and the first 5 letters on my middle name.  And it sounds like I'm a man, hee hee.

skoorbnibor

 my name, backwards. 

sliz

First initial = s. Middle name = liz

superned

Ned is my older dog's name (and I think he's super!).

I've always felt badly that my sn only includes his name and not my other dog, but I didn't have her when I first joined TK many, many years ago.  I should have an AE named amazingbetsy!

desabean

I'm glad you poted this, I was just thinking about doing it myself since there are always some interesting ones.

Desa was my cat who passed away right before I got engaged.  I always called her Desabean so when I joined the knot, I used that name.

OrangeSmoke

<---------------Orange Kitty named Smokey.

MonkeysGirl05

I used to call my DH "monkey", and I'm his girl, so it made sense for a screen name when I joined the knot. Oh, and 05 is the yr we got married.

beebe929

PhillySue:

Mine is pretty obvious...My name is Sue and I am from Philly : )

Oh, I was always wondering!

njdcgirl

Mine's boring... grew up in NJ + live in DC = njdcgirl.

 

wed23:

In an attempt to remain as anonymous as possible in case anyone I know in real life is on the bump (or the knot at the time), I literally closed my eyes and hit some keys.  I kind of wish I hadn't done it that way since my screename makes no sense, but it's been too many years now and I'm not starting over with a new one.

that's funny...whenever I see your name I think "Wed (like married) 23"  So I always thought maybe you were married on the 23rd of some month! 

beebe929

It is actually my maiden name and bday.  It was the screenname I used for lots of stuff at the time of the Knot, and little did I know it would stay with me for almost 10 yrs!

But rarely did my friends call me by my first name.  It was always some variation of Beebe, which by the way is BB,  so beebs, beeb, beebE, are all "me" 

 

kme930

Mine is sooooo boring! I originally joined the knot and posted a couple things on the local board. I remember just wanting to post something in response to someone who was asking about my venue and thinking that my sn didn't really matter. Then I never bothered to change it.

So kme was my initials (maiden name) and 930 (September 30th) was my wedding date. 

GuitaristsGirl

I changed mine when I came over from the Knot because some IRL people found me based on some info about out wedding planning. I wanted to be as anonymous and generic as possible and this is all I could come up with. It's pretty lame because, while my husband does play the guitar, he doesn't do so professionally or anything... Oh well!!

+jenjen+

Mine's easy....my name is Jennifer...everyone calls me Jen. 

It had *s on either side, but the bump messed it up and I had to start over a few months ago with +s....so I'm back to being a Newbie.

schmoodle

It was a cutesy pet name DH and I called each other (jokingly, not like the Seinfeld "Shmoopie" thing) at the time I first joined back in 2003 during wedding planning.

emmyloustu

My name is Emily, but no one really calls me emmy, so I am not sure why I picked that part. Stu are the first 3 letters of my last name and the "lou" just because it kind of all went together like  cindylouwho or the nickname for our pup - libbyloustu.

Mrs.Reem

DH's friends shorten our last name to Reem and call him that.Jokingly when we were married they pronounced me "Mrs Reem" and it kind of stuck.

MyColonyNJ

I have had people think that I am in a cult, yeah - OK.

Anyway, mine goes way back to when I first signed up for aol.

I wanted something like AmyColin, tried tons of variations.  Everything I tried was not available. 

Thought that when you said ColinAmy together, it kinda sounded like Colony. This also was not available  I am from NY, so I wanted NYColony.  But, when I typed it, I actually typed mycolony (with a M), it was available - so I took it.  I was trying for about an hour to get a screen name.  So, when it accepted something I put in, I didn't even care.

I used this same screen name when I signed on with theKnot (mycolony) - but when I was automatically switched over to theNest, I could not update my bio.  And, as a newlywed - this was the end of the world lol.  So, I created a new screen name, and added the NJ to the end (where I now live).  I added capital letters since I find it easier to remember people when they have real words in their screen names

And, now with 4 kids, I really do have my own colony lol.

ALY1981

It's my initials and the year I was born. I'm so original!

nolachick11

well, I had a screen name from the knot but it had my last name on it so when I joined TB actively, I changed my name.  I am not good at making up screennames, lol!  I live in New Orleans, which we all refer to as NOLA, so I just used that and chick and one of my lucky numbers!

marcuej

skoorbnibor:

 my name, backwards. 

Ha...funny!  I never noticed that before.  

ladychicago

mine is kinda obvious.   lol!    in high school and college, I always liked being the "lady whatever-your-mascot-is" so when I was staring at the nest screen, I just added that to my city.    :-)

marcuej

Mine is lame!  When I signed up for the Knot I didn't really realize my screen name would ever be seen.

Marcuej = Marcu is my first name.  E is the first letter of my middle name and J was the first letter of my maiden name.  

brideinOC

I kept mine from the Knot, so I was a bride in OC (Ocean City) where we were married.  But, most people think that it's OC as in Orange County, California. 

muppet.fan

Pretty boring/obvious for me -- as a kid I loved the Muppet Show and I initially wanted a name that didn't use any part of my real name. For some reason, the (.) got inserted between the words and I was too lazy to go back and fix it.

DavezWife

I married some dude named Davez. lol.

KYRN

I live in KY and was (guess I still am) a RN, now I'm a NP.  But that is how KYRN was born.

Temp893722312503334

Mine is my dogs name.  

Carrie25

Mine is lame!

It's my first name and how old I was when I joined the Knot way back during wedding planning.

Looking back I should've been more original. 

erstwhile+maven

I'm kind of a lurker but want to play... Before IF, a complicated pregnancy and some DS health problems I thought I had it all pretty well figured out.  So, its kind of making fun of myself for thinking I used to know it all.   And I joined the bump really late at night... which contributed to the weird thought process. 

GypsyEsq

Gypsy is my cat's name and when I was in law school my parents would send the occasional care package but always addressed it to Gypsy Doodle LastName, Esq. at my address.  It always cracked me up so I started using GypsyEsq as a standard screen name. 

p.s. Doodle was apparently my cat's middle name according to my grandpa.

LoveMyGirlz

I used to be Home_slice and then wanted something different. I say " I love my girls" all the time around here so that's just what came to mind. I attempted a few screennames and they were taken (LoveMyGirls, ILoveMyGirls, etc) so I changed it to a z at the end and voila.

RoxBride

I live in the Village of Roxborough.  My husband works for the Rockies. Hence, Rox, and bride, well, it is a way old Knot name.

Cassian

Cassia is a type of cinnamon and cinnamon is a reference to one who is red haired, and I am one of red hair, hence Cassian.
