TV ClubHouse: Archive: What Does Your Screen Name Mean? (ARCHIVES): Archive through August 11, 2003

Egbok

Monday, April 28, 2003 - 05:51 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
I'm Egbok, which I "borrowed" from a radio talk show that my mother used to listen to when I was a teenager. The DJ used it to mean "Everything is Going to Be OK"...EGBOK! Now if I used my real initials, like Tagurit did...I would be GAS...and I don't think it has a good connotation.

<Egbok sits back and waits for the peanut gallery to comment on GAS>

Skymarigold, howdy! One day I was talking to a good friend and jokingly told her, 'just call me Grace'. My dad had dubbed me Grace when I was young. (Two reasons: 1. my name means Grace 2. I was a little clumsy) My friend would write to me and call me Your Grace which somehow got shortened to Ur Grace, so I tried it as a username and it worked.

Draheid is easy -

it's DieHard spelled backwards.

Mine is Gemma because there are many people named Bonnie. I ended up trying different names and Gemma was a rarely used name. I was a jewelry designer at one time and the name Gemma kind of fit.

Then I had gastric bypass surgery in 2001, with a goal of reaching 120 pounds in 2002. I am still just a few pounds short of that goal in 2003, but after my surgery in a few months to repair my abdominal wall, I'll definately be at goal.

Redstar

My sun sign is Taurus, Aldebaran is the brightest star in the constellation Taurus, and it is a red giant star - thus, Redstar.

I also have red hair, which makes it all the more fitting.

Gotta love those redheads! hehehe Its seems we have quite a few. I'm thinking a new thread should be started to take a survey.

Are we allowed to change our screen name? I want to be Tonks.

Tater

Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 09:27 am EditMoveDeleteIP
My best friend and I would always say Later Tater to one another. Of course when she had kids I always called the kids her little Tater Tots. To this day we still call each other Tater.

Hermione,

Did I miss something somewhere? What is Tonks? (that would make a cool screen name)

Weiner, I'm not Hermione, but I know the answer to your question. Tonks is a character from the newest Harry Potter book. Hermione is also a character from those books (and our Hermione is a character in her own right!). Our Hermione is the board expert on Harry Potter, btw.

Thanks Bookie. I knew I had missed something. I haven't spent much time in the Harry Potter threads. I haven't read any of the books, though I've seen both movies (and liked them). I knew of Hermione, but not Tonks. They are both cool names.

I think Hermione should stay Hermione because Hermione is my very favorite of all the characters in the Harry Potter books/movies and Hermione is one of my very favorite people at TVCH.

Tess, I couldn't agree with you more.

Sweetbabygirl

My mommy, grandfather and uncle have called me Sweetbabygirl since I was a wee'un....39 years later, I'm STILL known to my family as Sweetbabygirl so I guess the name stuck, lol!

The Bonny Swan comes from a Loreena McKennitt song thats taken from a fable about a girl who is killed by her sister and returns as a swan then an enchanted harp...the song doesnt really hold any special meaning for me but all her lyrics are gorgeous.

Here's my screen name (and ain't he just the cutest?).

Bee-yoo-tiful kitty, Costa! Will you please post some more pics in the Cats thread? I'd love to see more photos of your lovely boy! I don't think I've seen you post in that thread; it's a fun bunch in there and you'd like our funny photos.

Costacat

I'll head over there now, Sia. I've got a couple of pics I can post (but most of my photos need to be resized so they don't hijack with width of the thread).

And thanks! Costa's a pretty special cat! Super friendly and smart!

Costa, I'm so glad you posted some pics in the Cats thread!!! Keep on doing that, okay?

Xarph, I was a finalist for 2 and 4, only a semi for 3. Yes. I can't divulge much, but if I told you all my past screen names, you'd know who I was in the past. This year, I'm being very good...and careful, including not using my own computer to post.
