GTKY Screen Name Meaning

This is always one of my favorites. Everyone has such unique screen names and sometimes they have a totally different meaning behind them than what could be assumed from face value 🤔 Then sometimes they're exactly what they seem 🤷‍♀️ But let's hear it ladies, why did you choose the screen name you have?

Mine is somewhat boring, I'll admit. It's the first three letters of my last name, the first three letters of my first name, and then since cooala was already taken, I added the doll, because who wouldn't like a koala doll? Anyway, due to past thebump sign in issues I've gone through the original of that, cooaladoll1 and now cooaladolly.

    @cmbt2 do you go by that nickname at home too or just in the screen world?
    @stephanie123456 it makes things super easy in the tagging world 😉
    @steminist I adore that idea! So glad you get those ladies minds stirring!
    @prpl11butterfly super cute!
    @galentine I think yours was the least mysterious to me, lol, but it suits you so well! Though my darn autocorrect still makes me fix it back from valentine every. darn. time.
    @greenbean-2 that is a lot of layers! Very cute, and I have to say I'm intrigued by the babe that actually liked pureed green beans. My kid sure didn't, lol.
    @Meagan-t it fits you like a glove 😉

    It was really random, too. It was just three words I had strung together and capitalized each one (I shared more personal details than is wise under that name, and while I think all my post history was deleted with everyone else’s, I’d rather not be linked on a chance it wasn’t all poofed). I was a reg on my BMB and people just started calling me the three capital letters (CMB). 🤷🏼‍♀️

    @PenelopeSnuz77, your SNA makes me crack up every time I see it. 
    Ditto @Penelopesnuz77! I don't know why but it sometimes makes me think of snuffleupugus (sp) from Sesame Street. But I did erroneously assume Penelope was your real name.
    @readyforlilspook that's adorable for an October baby! Are you big on Halloween celebrations?
    @theglitteredpterodactyl I have to admit yours is one of my favorite screen names. It's so colorful and I think it fits your online personality nicely.

    They are numbers from my childhood home 😊
  • It's letters from my first, middle, and last name. Then the year my son was born. 

    I'm boring with screen names. :p

    I have a pterodactyl tattoo and I love glitter. It’s my handle for a lot of things 🤷‍♀️ 
    You must put “P is for Pterodactyl” on your must buy book list. It’s fitting

  • @cooaladolly thanks! Also I’m now full of questions self absorbed questions about how my online persona comes across

    @PenelopeSnuz77 I’m also on Team Sounds Like Snuffleaufagus’ Cool Cousin. Definitely in a good way. 

    Also this probably overlaps for FFFC but does anyone else have the worst time remembering screennames? This thread is helpful because it kinda makes me focus more on them but laws I’m so bad at keeping track of everyone though their sn. It’s kinda why I’m such a lurker and not a chatter.

  • I made mine up on the fly when I signed up for my S16 BMB since I am a gemini 🤷🏻‍♀️ Not very original. I have a regular handle I use online but wanted to be sure I couldn’t be traced when I got pregnant so needed to switch it up. 

    Same as @steminist, I found it much easier once we eventually moved to FB to remember who everyone was. I had a few down pat, but definitely confused people and details a lot. 
  • I think I'm one of the weirdos that's actually kinda good at remembering people's backgrounds and stories as we go. I find even more often it's the profile pic that helps. @galentine, I hope I didn't offend earlier when I said your name was less mysterious, but I left out that I figured it out when combined with the photo of Leslie Knope, of course, lol. @theglitteredpterodactyl your profile pic along with your name kinda gives me a story too. I take your projected persona to be opinionated and somewhat fierce; a strong crafty (glitter and crayons, not sly) mom who wants their child to grow up knowing life can be hard but also beautiful. @nachellebeck13 so I totally tried to figure out your name once you said that. I always laugh in the end if/when we do switch to Facebook at how wrong guesses like that can be though.

  • @geminigirl16 I actually thought you were our other S16 turned O19 mom for a couple of posts! It wasn't until you said something about a bilingual house that it clicked. 🤦 I also have to be careful, because I keep wanting to call your DS by his name here. My brain just isn't wired for anonymity, I guess!

  • +2 for having the hardest time remembering everything 😬. TB isn’t built for someone who desperately needs notifications to follow anything.

  • I’m really uncreative with SNs so I just took my husband’s. Simple as that.

  • @cooaladolly, I'm not at all offended by not being mysterious! It's an honor to be associated with the badass Ms Leslie Knope.
  • @steminist Too funny! Nope! She has Nikki Minaj in her photo, if I’m not mistaken. 

    Are you home yet from
    your conference?
  • @geminigirl16 Oh, yeah! I was super confused by that when we transitioned over. I mean, I knew who Nikki Minaj is, but I had trouble connecting that with the real person.

    Today is conference day, but I'll be flying home tonight.

  • Mine is first initial and maiden name. I kind of want to change it after our convo's about catfish but I don't know how and then thought that would be confusing.

    @aprosch, if you are worried about security, I would go ahead and change it. If you keep your avatar photo, that will help us remember you. And even if some struggle to remember your old SN until we get used to the new one, it will be worth it in the long run to have the privacy. And better to do it now while we are still pretty early in the BMB process!

    ETA - and the knottie######s thread has instructions for changing it!
  • Alright, I changed it. Now it's first 3 of first name, first 3 of middle name and my bday
