Tell me about your username!

adecembermom2015 · June 2015

What does your username mean? What's the significance? Mine is boring, first three letters of my first name and first three of last name.

marikadevienne · June 2015

Mine is my full name. I find it better that way. I have to think about what I type first, and make sure I don't say anything hurtful. I find some people feel so anonymous on the Internet that they say anything without thinking of the consequences. I like to communicate truly and honestly online, just as would in real life. I'll get off my high horse now. Ha ha ha!!!

erikaalzet · June 2015

First and middle name. Equally unexciting. Fun thread.

Can't wait to see all the responses. This reminds me of the recent BuzzFeed video of the meaning behind people's old AIM screen names.

Marchmellow2 · June 2015

Oh I think we've done this before but I'll play!

Marchmellow- cause I'm soft and sweet and I taste really good! Lol

And also, that's my nickname because my name is Marchelle. Some of my friends just call me Mello now.

adecembermom2015 · June 2015

@erikaalzet oh AIM!!! Pretty sure my username was Limegreen4Life. That was so cool to my 13 year old self!

adecembermom2015 · June 2015

@Marchmellow2 thanks for playing again. Must've missed that one.

omg now I need s'mores with a tasty marshmallow.

taysun · June 2015

@magburt mines the same, first three letters of first name and first three letters of last. I find it much easier than worrying about coming up with something clever!

grkgdss00 · June 2015

The meaning of my first name means "Goddess" (not proclaiming that I am one) and i'm Greek. My full first, middle and last is a crazy Greek name meaning "dark eyed Goddess of Joy" - crazy hippy parents!

) "00" i've been using since the pager days of middle school. Remember when you put your code at the end of a number so the recipient knew who was paging them? Well mine was "00" and it's just stuck ever since.

AlejandraN2 · June 2015

Mine is just my name but spelled Alejandra because my friend always calls me that. 2 because it's my favorite #.

grkgdss00 - I'm Greek too. Which part of Greece?

Rusty NailHer · June 2015

Mine is my old roller derby name. I used it as my username for things for quite a while. Now I am just sad because my skates are dusty.

jessica122015 · June 2015

I don't know how to change/edit mine nor did I pick it lol I'm on the mobile app so I'm stuck with this one haha don't know what I'd change it to

adecembermom2015 · June 2015

@Knottie15445834 I thought it had to be a play on naughty with a bazillion numbers that makes it hard to tag you. Lol.

jessica122015 · June 2015

@magburt lol oh no

) I guess TB felt they knew me best haha jk. I'd definitely change it if I knew how to haha

amw2133 · June 2015

I also answered the last one but mine is my initials plus hubby's favorite number followed by my favorite number.

adecembermom2015 · June 2015

I guess even though this thread has been done, there are plenty of new users that missed out.

hope nobody minds. I find it interesting to get to know people better.

I had the same issue at first. What you need to do is you need to log onto theknot.com and you can change your username there. I don't remember exactly the details but it was pretty easy! Good luck!

My username is pretty simple. Obviously, I'm from Boston. The 1 is because I was trying to preempt having to retype another name due to the fact that there might be another BostonBaby. I would never ever ever ever ever use my real name on the Internet! And it's not because I don't want to treat people the same way that I would in person, it's because some people (moi) like their privacy and some people are more publicly known than others.

ammnam14 · June 2015

First and middle name, I'm creative I know. Lol

Girl, now you got me wondering who you are in real life (see italicized lines).

I'll never tell ;-) anyhow, you wouldn't know who I was unless you googled me.

adecembermom2015 · June 2015

@BostonBaby1 is a celeb.

erikaalzet · June 2015

The not knowing. It kills me. @BostonBaby1 I will refrain from guessing random names every single day. I half promise. That's as good as a real promise.

And @magburt, my AIM name was elmo_on_ice416... I didn't even like Elmo and have never seen a show on ice. Oh, aim.

BostonBaby1 · June 2015

Not a celebrity;-)

Not a celebrity doesn't mean she's not famous. She's famous for something we just don't know what?! Lol

erikaalzet · June 2015

Okay- last one! Married to a celebrity. Politician. Rocket scientist. Famous author. This is assuming we are all using the word celebrity as liberally as possible. I AM OFFICIALY DONE. Scouts honor.

adecembermom2015 · June 2015

Her father was the inventor of the toaster strudel.

rain0831boww · June 2015

I'm really hoping for a rainbow baby this time and just added my wedding anniversary in the middle.

erikaalzet · June 2015

I am going to run over to the UO thread real fast. BRB @magburt

FaithHopeMiracle · June 2015

Mine is all I have to go on and the glimmer of what got us here. I have to have Faith, whether I feel it or not, there are no other options. Hope; underneath it all, after all th3 loss and heartbreak I don't think either of us ever truly gave up hope. And now, now that we have been given this miracle we were told we'd never get, we have to keep Hope alive. Miracle; this is our miracle baby. 6 miscarriages, infertility, low egg & sperm count, AMA, the list goes on and on. We were told adoption or donor eggs....out of the blue...pregnant all on our own without trying, planning or any reason to think we were.

satindawl83 · June 2015

I've had this name since AIM days too. There was a DJ at a radio station I used to listen to in high school and her DJ name was Satin Doll. I loved it, and when I got older, I realized it was a name of a Duke Ellington song.

I think Satindoll was taken, so my high school mind thought Satindawl was the next best thing, so I kept using it.

Pet peeve: people used to think it was "Satan" dawl and wondered if I was a devil worshipper.

adecembermom2015 · June 2015

@satindawl83 that makes me laugh they thought it was satan! Unfortunately not everyone is literate.

nekedfeet · June 2015

All the way back to old school AIM for me as well!! Nekedfeet was my screen name. It means exactly what you think--
nekedfeet = bare feet = i prefer to be barefoot = I might be total freakin' hippie.

The real irony is my lack of shoe love will literally make me "barefoot and pregnant"... as soon as the weather warms up here

hummingbird35 · June 2015

I got on the bump while on vacation in Seattle... my feet hurt from walking around all day and I was googling my symptoms after I sent bf to the Chinatown district for dumplings! Ha

& my guess for @BostonBaby1 is politician! Due to posts referencing funding/ involvement in various charities

\:D/

hardlyhannah · June 2015

I'm just really into alliteration...

(Jk, there's not any specific reason behind my name.)

You guys are funny! It should be noted that everybody who has the means (time, intellect, etc.) should be giving back to society in one way or another. Plus, DH is going to get a kick out of this thread!

littleSkittle14 · June 2015

Last pregnancy I referred to my DD as a little skittle since I craved and ate them constantly! 14 is for 2014, the year she was born!

koala1107 · June 2015

Mine is totally random because first I made it my first and last name before realizing that was a horrible idea, so I panicked and changed it to the first thing that came to mind. Don't ask me why koala was the first thing that came to mind, honestly have no clue.
Didn't want to make it any of my other common user names in case anyone stumbled across this that know me because I was (and am still not) ready to share the big news yet.
And @BostonBaby1 who are you??! Inquiring minds want to know! Haha
:-p

BostonBaby1 · June 2015

Seriously, you girls don't know me! It is very cute but I promise you, it's not something to stay up at night over.

Edited to add that I'm a very private person so why in the world would I tell you if I was?

She's Kim k, and just has all the Boston stuff to throw us off

groovylocks · June 2015

Some years ago, I went from having very long hair to very short hair without telling anybody i was going to do it. When my roommate and bff came home he found me, short haired and sitting with my three cats and sort of stopped short and said "Damn.. It's like Groovylocks and the three bears..."

It really stuck.

Mother0fDragons · June 2015

I learned how to sail when I was a teenager and was in love with it along with hiking, so my dad said "next thing you know she'll be sailing up mountains!". It kinda suck and have been using it ever since. :-B
