S/O screen names....

pistolpackinmomma · January 2014

Where did your sn come from? We have some obvious and others that seem a lot more random so as a GTKY lets all share our stories. And sing kumbaya and be BFFs for life! Ok sorry I got carried away....

danabsd · January 2014

It's my name. Excellent story, I know.

As I stated in the other thread mine is two fold. I have my CCW and it is one of my favorite square dances. Just a quick YouTube search brought me this for those unfamiliar but it is way slower than what we used to go!! Then again we danced with a younger crowd than what these people appear to be. Our group fell apart a few years ago but I miss it so much! And a pic from a few years ago.

So, you know ancient maps? At the edge of the known world, they sometimes wrote: Here be Dragons. As a warning to ships- past this point, there is only the unknown.

My entire 5 year TTC and pregnancy journey has felt like sailing off the map and into the strangest land of doctors, percentages, tests, and treatments... Compared to my family and friends who just have wild sex and then take home a baby 9 months later.

And DHs nickname for me has been Dragon for years. It's an affectionate nickname in his family for a fiercely loyal, utterly stubborn, but quiet, female- I'm one of two Dragons and feel super honored that the family lets me share the nickname with DHs aunt. I can think of few other people I'd be happier to be compared to.

So, ThereBeDragons. Hopefully my baby girl is as much of a dragon as her mama

FlemDance · January 2014

Contrary to popular belief, part of my last name - NOT a loogie - and one of my biggest loves in life.

jschwind22 · January 2014

part of my name and the 22 is the date that my H and I were married.

yvanehtnioj · January 2014

Mine is my favorite song from the Simpsons. Bart, Nelson, Ralph & Milhouse are in a boy band. They have this (awesome) hit song with "yvan eht nioj" in the chorus and it's revealed that the group is funded by the government as a front to get people to "join the navy."

I love this!

crystalmir91385 · January 2014

Mine is the name of a lake from one of my favorite books and my birthday. I've probably used this same one for 10 years now.

EhTheCatLady · January 2014

Well aren't you fancy! If I tried to square dance yet alone faster then the video is showing I would make a fool of myself! Props to you! I got mine bc ever since I was a child I have been overly attached to cats. my mema had a farm and I would go out there and play with all the barn cats and give them milk to make them like me. Most of the time I prefer cats over humans anyway.( Less drama and emotions) I've been known as a crazy cat lady since middle school when I made the dreaded mistake of taking my cat fancy magazine to school. Oops. Haha

Magheeta · January 2014

Mine is the title of one of my favorite My Morning Jacket songs.

Name & initials (super creative, I know), and time of the morning I was surgically extracted from my momma.

It's really not that hard! The song tells you everything you need to do. I'm the nerd that sings the song while we dance though... Like I said, total dork.

And nothing wrong with being a cat person!!

Kate070 · January 2014

Yeeeah I wasn't all that creative either. It's my name, and a number that was tacked on to my student email address in grad school.

I've contemplated changing it to something more interesting, but I can't be bothered setting up a new account and starting over.

Kate070 · January 2014

Bump burp.

dp1320 · January 2014

My pre-married initials and the date of our wedding. *yawn*

I don't think it makes you a dork if you sing it haha it probably helps!
I would be right beside you singing!

Xath · January 2014

Mine's my maiden name. I created it when I joined The Knot years ago. When I made it I didn't realize it would track over to the forums as well, and now I've had it for too long to be bothered losing my post history.

*shrug* I don't say anything on the internet I'm not comfortable with people associating with me anyway.

katesy21 · January 2014

A nickname (my name is Katie) and my soccer number which kind of became my "lucky" number.

talkthewholetime · January 2014

I know this is going to come as a real shock, but I actually do talk the whole time.

lildarling76 · January 2014

How I got my name darlene, my dad said I was his lildarling and the yr I was born.

sunflowermama42212 · January 2014

In high school my principle use to sing "Michele my bell" when he was coming down the hall to get me out of class and my friends called me "Misha" so that eventually just rolled into Misha Bell. I made the newb mistake of putting my LN in my old SN so I changed it to this.

daizijayne · January 2014

Mine has zero significance. It was my very first email address, many years ago. I thought I was pretty cool back then.

It's ok, I do too. Shocker I know!

spinsoffresonance · January 2014

Mine has been my screen name since high school. Remember ICQ and AIM. My friends and I all came up with nicknames for each other freshman year. My name is Rachel, backwards is Lehcar, so we came up with lica. The 001 I added when I got my hotmail email and didn't want some crazy weird number I wasn't gonna remember at the end, so 001 was the best I could find that wasn't already taken. Now that's a lot of old obsolete technology all in the same post!

bumpuser10194737 · January 2014

I take lots of pics of my kiddos- and this is baby number 3. Just getting into photography as a hobby, so it seemed appropriate. :-)

I recently started a new account after I decided my old screen name may have made it too easy to find my RL name.

TheBeeCharmer · January 2014

I took mine from "Fried Green Tomatoes". I have never been stung including a time I had a hive in my car so my family will still call me a bee charmer on occasion...

MamaLlama14 · January 2014

I read "Llama Llama Red Pajama" to DS every night, so he's Baby Llama and I'm Mama Llama.

Tkhixen · January 2014

My first initial, my DH's first intital, and part of my married last name....not to interesting!

Pixiesmom73 · January 2014

Mine is my dogs name and the year I was born.

Here's Pixie!

mirdamae03 · January 2014

Mirda Mae is one of my nicknames (Miranda) that was given in middle school.

haylo33 · January 2014

When I was like 12, I got my first email address. I wanted something to do with being an angel and came up with halo but the screen names were all taken with the correct spelling. I've used it ever since. It's childish but too much work to switch everything online plus I've become sentimental.

ThereBeDragons · January 2014

And I will say that while I have a cool story..... my two previous screen names were terribly boring. Redmeezer = red + meezer (a nickname for a Siamese cat) which described my first pet cat. A red point Siamese. Shocking.

And the second was Ecleptic. Which I made up in high school for my first hotmail address. I thought I was beating cool and spelling ecliptic (which I thought was had to do with eclipses) but... Spelling failure. I kept it for years though. Finally got tired of hanging on to an old spelling mistake and when I lost my bump email account and couldn't remember my password- I just started a new account with my new "cool" name.

spacepotatoes · January 2014

Before I got into teaching, I had designs on an academic research career in Planetary Sciences. My Master's research was on asteroids. I looked at a lot of asteroids. It turns out that they look a lot like potatoes. In space. Hence, spacepotatoes.

sparklingdiamond · January 2014

Mine is because one of my favorite movies is Moulin Rouge.

RedInLove · January 2014

Red is my favorite color, and I created my account when we were engaged so I was *in love* awwwww!

Plus I once dyed my hair red, and did chunky red streaks another time, and DH would call me Red when I did that.

ykristos · January 2014

Mine comes from a joke that started in college and basically comes from a fake name one of my girlfriends gave me.

theoryofwhat · January 2014

There's not a really cool story behind mine like some of the ladies. I guess mine means I highly approve of glitter?

LunaBug924 · January 2014

Luna is one of my dog's names, the other is Bulges so I just used "bug", and my wedding date. Not too exciting, but as a bonus here's a pic of my pups being all cuddly yesterday.
