Whoami | Thursday, March 28, 2002 - 01:58 pm     Just a fun question. I probably haven't been around long enough to get everyone's explanations through individual posts.... Mine came about when I tried out Big Brother Chat on the CBS website during BBII. I didn't want to be "MonicaRocks" or "BunkyForever" or anything like that. I just didn't feel strongly enough about any of the contestants to attach my name to it. I visited BBII Chat a few times, and came up with a different name each time. By about the third time, I just didn't know who I wanted to be. Somehow, "Who Am I" popped into my head, and it just kinda stuck! While I was there, I remember asking about message boards, and someone there gave about three links, this being one of them. I don't even remember what those other links were now, tho I think I remember one of them being hard to download on my computer. TVCH was by far the best, and became my home! I sure wish I knew who it was over at BBII Chat that turned me on to here. I'd like to thank them! |
Moondance | Thursday, March 28, 2002 - 02:03 pm     I was Zelda when the site started and during BB1... it is one of my kittie's name and she wanted it back so I changed to Moondance. It is my Native American name given to me by a Cherokee Elder |
Kstme | Thursday, March 28, 2002 - 02:07 pm     Mine is my initials plus "me"... nothing exciting or exotic here... |
Tksoard | Thursday, March 28, 2002 - 02:23 pm     Mine are initials and name. I don't like it. I want to have Gail change it to theowl whenever she has time to. I just haven't asked her yet.  |
Urgrace | Thursday, March 28, 2002 - 02:34 pm     urgrace came about when a friend of mine took my real name which means grace and added 'your grace' to many emails to me. Then we trimmed it down to 'ur' grace in our instant messages to save time and it just stuck. Also my dad used to call me grace because I was always tripping over things or running into things when I was a kid. <Not that I have quit or anything!> |
Goatgirl | Thursday, March 28, 2002 - 02:41 pm     My sign is Capricorn and I am... you guessed it, a girl. On an SNL rerun over the weekend on Comedy Central, one of the sketches had a half man/half goat named Goatboy who hosted a TV talk show called something like Remember the 80's. His guests were Andrew Ridgely from Wham!, Tina Yothers from Family Ties, and William "the Refrigerator" Perry. Goatboy was just a freak and while talking would just break into this obnoxious bleating. It made me sort of wish I had chosen another name.  |
Jewels | Thursday, March 28, 2002 - 02:49 pm     I wish I could say mine came from having such a sparkling personality ...but, it's just short for Julie.  |
Teddybear | Thursday, March 28, 2002 - 02:58 pm     I could say it is because I have like a zillion teddybears all over my apartment and cant seem to part with any of them even though I am 27 years old! But thats not the case. I just thought it was cute and cuddly. |
Marysafan | Thursday, March 28, 2002 - 03:31 pm     I selected mine when I first got online. I began by posting at varous NASCAR sites. They would have chats with some of the drivers, and I wanted to let them know that I was cheering for them. Then I started visitng sites of some of my favorite musicians, and the name still worked...and then along came Big Brother, and the name still fit...so...now I use it everywhere. That way I don't have to tax my feeble mind with multiple usernames...and Heaven forbid...multiple passwords! |
Kep421 | Thursday, March 28, 2002 - 03:45 pm     Mine are my initials and our family's lucky number....nothing unusual. But my name is Kary and most of my "in person" friends have been calling me Karebare for a long time...maybe I should change mine too? Hey Tk, we could change together!!! Then me and Teddybear could start a "bare" club!!! tee hee!! |
Shakes | Thursday, March 28, 2002 - 03:46 pm     Short for Shakespeare. I have a degree in Theatre History and have tried my hand (unsuccessfully) at playwrighting. (My friends started calling me Shakes and it stuck.) |
Tess | Thursday, March 28, 2002 - 03:49 pm     Mine is a nickname for my real name, Teresa. It was started by some boys who worked with me many years ago and I've always liked it although it's not a name I use off the board.

Tksoard | Thursday, March 28, 2002 - 03:59 pm     Yes Kep, we could change together and you can start a "bare" club, and I'll start a "hooters" club. HOOO HOOOO!!!!  |
Kep421 | Thursday, March 28, 2002 - 04:04 pm     Oh man...that would be great!!! Seeing as how the guys on this board have their own "mens" club, its about time us ladies banded together!!! |
Tksoard | Thursday, March 28, 2002 - 04:06 pm     All Right Kep!! We can be called the "Bare Hooters"!! I like it!!  |
Weinermr | Thursday, March 28, 2002 - 04:48 pm     I won't say it. LOL |
Tksoard | Thursday, March 28, 2002 - 04:50 pm     You don't have to MrW. We know what you're thinking!!  |
Teatime | Thursday, March 28, 2002 - 06:45 pm     I'm a dairy farmer. |
Neko | Thursday, March 28, 2002 - 06:51 pm     Well, mine stems from me learning Japanese. Cats have always been my favorite animals, if not for pets than just for their gracefulness. I've also been told that I act like a cat sometimes. By liking to be cuddled one second to not wanting to be touched. Very aloof ^_^ Neko is Japanese for cat. Koneko (My sister's nickname) is Japanese for kitten. So it's not as creative as some of your guy's nicknames |
Urgrace | Thursday, March 28, 2002 - 06:57 pm     Teatime, your explanation didn't sink in with me. It needs explaining! |
Egbok | Thursday, March 28, 2002 - 07:44 pm     Egbok = Everything is going to be ok |
Knightpatti | Thursday, March 28, 2002 - 07:45 pm     My name is my ebay seller name. I rarely sell anything on Ebay (instead I sell to other people that make a living by selling on Ebay) because it is too time consuming. I spend all my free time here. I sell swords and knives for a living and I like Knightpatti better than the sword lady that my customers call me. |
Ketchuplover | Thursday, March 28, 2002 - 08:00 pm     I love ketchup |
Alib | Thursday, March 28, 2002 - 08:00 pm     My name is my nickname Ali (short for Alison) and the initial of my last name B |
