Monday QOTD

skroops

Happy Monday ladies! (if there is such a thing, lol) Let me know if you are getting sick of these but they seem to help keep the board moving...

Today's QOTD --How/why did you pick your bump screen name? Do you still like it, or would you change it if you could?

I know some of them are pretty obvious if they are your name, LO's name, etc. But there are some interesting ones out there that I wonder about.

skroops

Mine isn't all that interesting, the first part of my last name sounds like "skroop" and a few years ago some of my students started calling me "skroops" and I thought it was kind of a cute nn for my last name. It was the first thing that came to mind when choosing my bump name. I still like it so I wouldn't change it. Besides, I wouldnt want to give up my post count -haha. I'm on a quest to get to gold!

SweetHurricane

My original Knot sn was the sn I use for everything. I changed it when H joined the Army because I didn't want what I post on here to be easily tied to what I post everywhere else.

My sn after that was my first initial and part of our last name. I had to change it (after I *finally* got bronze, darn it!) because it has an asterik and the bump's new coding gets confused by that.

It took me a million years to come up with this sn because everything I thought of was alredy taken. I tried to think of my interests and I love hurricanes (weird, I know). Most of my logins over the past have ended with the word "girl" and I wanted to move away from that. I actually planted hurricane into one of those "think of a screen name for me" websites and this is what it came up with. I don't plan on changing it ever. I like having a post count, and I like people knowing who I am.

People probably think of hurricane the drink before hurricane the natural occurance, but that's ok because I like the drink also

RHitch

R is the first letter of my first name, and Hitch is the first half of my last name.

TicketTuesday:

Ticket Tuesday is the day my hubby and I met. We both had a thing for Nixon watches. One day while walking across campus up at college, this random boy yelled at me to stop and asked me to hold out my wrist. I did and so did he, and we were both wearing a watch called the Ticket (I had the Small Ticket, the girl version of his) and then we realized we were both wearing the same artist brand t-shirts, and had a dozen other things in common. Anyway aside from our watches being called the Ticket, it was a Tuesday and he wanted to get my number so he said it was Half-price Ticket Tuesday at the theater and he and his roommates go so he asked me and my roommates who were standing next to me to go to a movie that night. He ended up picking us all up and being the only guy with four girls. Nerd.

Coincidentally, Finn was also born on a Tuesday.

Aww, what a sweet story. And you are one of the ones that I was wondering about.

Great question skroops, and TicketTuesday, I also wondered about your name. Love the story! 

Mine is my name, I have zero creativity.... i don't worry too much about everyone knowing my name though since it's SUPER common.

mchupie

"m" is for my first name - Melissa, and "chupie" is short for "chupacabra" which is a mythical monster in south america that eats goats. Totally random, I know...we learned about it in spanish class in 9th grade and I thought it was so hilarious that my friends nicknamed me "chupie". It's pretty stupid, but it stuck.  I love it.

bethyla

Mine is just my name spiced up a little bit.  I picked it when I joined the knot and I never planned on really "using" it.  If I had to do it all over again, I would chose a new name.  I guess I could now since I don't have a cool posting medal or anything, but I'm lazy! 

 

And, I like having these questions posted.  Thank you for trying to keep the board active!

I love this!

RAC07

Mine is my initials and the year we got married. I originally joined the knot in '06 and had a different screen name. It was a dumb, with both of our names and wedding date in it. I changed it eventually. I'm fine with what it is now, I'm just not very creative.

meaganjoelle1

Mine is my name, it is kinda a habit for me to just use my first and middle name for logins... I am boring

RosieBcheeks98

No cool story here!  Just my name and the year I graduated high school.

It's almost like a story out of a book or a movie

LolaCook

DH calls me Lola and then my last name...totally not creative.

freeatlast2014

My maiden name starts with a P - everyone in college called me LynnyP

My first name is Lynn - and I've been called Lynny for years by my friends (used to be Skinny Lynny hehehehe).

D is the first letter of my married name so I switched it up...

Now I'm MrsLynnyD

jaejaevee

Mine is my original Knot sn.  My initials (before marriage) were JJV.  My sisters call me Jae, so my sn sort of came from that.

OUBobcatFan

Mine is just an alma mater thing. It's a different screen name than my normal accounts. We wanted that mainly so that I could post in the 1st tri without being discovered via searches. I still like it, I'm still a Bobcat fan.

johndrea

sn is from the knot. its the combo of H & I's name

his: john

mine:drea

johndrea

 

livnluv2010

mine is pretty obvious, my wedding date!  Its my knot name from the wedding planning days.  boring, I know!

Fergie+1

My ln is Ferguson and my coworkers have called me Fergie for years. +1 is from my excitement over being pregnant... If I could change it, I would. There wasn't much else I liked that was available when I signed up.

Thankful1121

Mines not really that interesting, Thankful came about because I wasn't supposed to be able to get pregnant on my own. And its a daily reminder to be thankful for all the blessings in my life and 1121 is my wedding date (nov. 21 2009)

mtbowlin

Mine is not creative at all and is actually part of my email address...I would totally change it if I had an ounce of creativity when it comes to that sort of stuff, but I don't so it will have to do.

m=matt (DH), t=tori(my nm), and bowlin is our last name

mishu917

Mine is simple lol. My "home" name is mishu (My real name is Michelle but Indian people always shorten their names at home and add a u at the end of it lol... so mine was Mish-u).  My birthday is 9-17. This screen name is an upgrade from flowerpower917 that I had in middle school for AIM.
