What my name should have been...
Bigd | Monday, March 03, 2003 - 08:10 pm     It occurs to me over and over again, if I had only known how this board would grow on me, I would have paid more attention to my name. I can think of lots of more applicable names I would have used had I known what a home this would become. And then I wondered why I didn't just use my first name. Any thoughts on this anyone? |
Jmm | Monday, March 03, 2003 - 08:13 pm     I know exactly how you feel, BigD. I'm not really creative with names and things, but I have been thinking lately that I didn't choose very well to begin with. I never imagined I would feel so close to strangers on the computer, and didn't think about being called jmm all the time. Maybe I'll see about changing to something more comfortable before BB starts again. |
Zachsmom | Monday, March 03, 2003 - 08:14 pm     I like your name Bigd!! I would have kept mine the same..I keep Zachsmom at every place I go..I can then remember my username..lol..otherwise I'd forget and have to re-register.. |
Whoami | Monday, March 03, 2003 - 08:18 pm     Yea. I use my first name on the drum corps message boards I visit. Don't know why I didn't do that here. Maybe cause I could see everyone was using a "handle" and I felt like I had to have one too! But, my name has kinda grown on me now. Don't think I'd really care to change it! |
Twinkie | Monday, March 03, 2003 - 08:19 pm     I'm so used to my nickname now that I'm never surprised when i pick up the phone and someone says "Hi Twinks". And neither is hubby! LOL Sure they know my real name but are so used to calling me Twinks that its habit! |
Fanny | Monday, March 03, 2003 - 08:25 pm     I had a real-life conversation with Twinkie on the phone recently and I'm still laughing about how our talk was peppered with all these screen names! When I happen to mention to DBF some of the goings-on in here, I just can't bring myself to tell him well Twinkie said, or Juju said or or BigD told me or Whoami said or Strawberry and Scootersmom did this, etc. etc. because he'd think I'm nuts. It was more of a relief than I can say to be able to speak frankly with Twinks, LOL! |
Goddessatlaw | Tuesday, March 04, 2003 - 06:27 am     There are worse things than being addressed by the nickname "Goddess." But my full screen name is "Goddessatlaw, Queen of the Universe (Or At Least Everything Within Arm's Reach)." It just wouldn't fit for the Board's nickers,so I had to shorten it to something a tad less descriptive. |
Mware | Tuesday, March 04, 2003 - 06:48 am     Somehow, I had actually pictured the full name as "Goddessatlaw, Mistress of Time, Space, and Dimension." I humbly apologize for minimizing your vast reach and influence.  |
Juju2bigdog | Tuesday, March 04, 2003 - 07:38 am     Oh dear, I just misread Mware's last sentence as "your vast reach and flatulence." My name came to me rather quickly when I chose it, and it has since grown on me. I never would have imagined myself becoming the clubhouse dawg mascot, but it is a very fun role.
I also think those who don't particularly like the name they chose should change it, a la TheOwl. Whoami should keep her name. It is good. |
Bandit | Tuesday, March 04, 2003 - 07:43 am     Bandit is one of my cats' names, so I usually use that for most things. I subscribe to the same theory that Zachsmom does-keep it simple, and you will always remember it! |
Fruitbat | Tuesday, March 04, 2003 - 07:59 am     Someone said, may I tell him who is calling?.......and I answered Bat. I scared myself on this one, it is usually my husband who gets creeped when I have a 'spell' as they are known around here. |
Goddessatlaw | Tuesday, March 04, 2003 - 08:27 am     I've had some pretty bizarre (and hysterical) conversations with MM about things going on in the Hot Topics thread. Specifically, with regard to one of my archnemises, Ocean Islands. This look of total confusion crosses MM's face when I start off a sentence like this: "O.I. said (insert liberal position of your choice}." What MM hears is, "Oh, I said {insert liberal position of your choice}." Since I'm a died in the wool conservative, we've had some pretty hard laughs over MM thinking I'd all of a sudden switched teams in the middle of my conservative rants. I'm careful to now always call him Ocean Islands. (By the way, I say "archnemesis" in the most loving and respectful of fashions.) |
Ginger1218 | Tuesday, March 04, 2003 - 08:55 am     Actually, my nickname for years has been Ginger. I also have red hair. I have friends from online for years and years, and they don't even call me by my real name. So, I am called Ginger by a lot of people. Of course, they don't call me Ginger1218 LOL. |
Neko | Tuesday, March 04, 2003 - 12:26 pm     I picked mine a while back (Almost two years to be exact..wow ) when I first got here, because I had been infatuated (Still am but not as much) with the Japanese language. I happen to have been told many times in my life, I act very "cat-like" so Neko, which is Japanese for cat, come to mind. I wouldn't change it now for the world because everyone knows me as Neko, just as everyone know Juju as Juju. It's grown on me. Plus, it's fun to have conversations in trying to figure out how to actually pronouce it.. (Proper way "Nay-ko"... but I say "Nee-ko" so who cares. LOL I've be butchering my own name! Who would have known.. ) |
Goddessatlaw | Tuesday, March 04, 2003 - 12:52 pm     Ginger, that's funny - I was thinking over at the "name you'd give another poster" that your nickname by me would be "Red." I always think of you as "Red" although I'm not sure I was aware you are redhead. "Red" around my family is a long-legged, red-headed woman with a b***s-out attitude and a fast wit. We have a couple of them. And, by the way, it's considered a great compliment. |
Jed245 | Tuesday, March 04, 2003 - 01:34 pm     I wouldn't change my name... I mean Jed afterall is my nick name in real life. When I started fishing with my older brother for some reason he started calling me Jed... I liked it and it stuck :o) The 245 part came from a typo when I first joined a chat room. It required a name with 6 charcters I was gonna pick Jed24_ cause I was 24 at the time. But, when I typed it in I hit the 4 and five kinda together so jed245. Jed. :o) |

Ginger1218 | Tuesday, March 04, 2003 - 01:53 pm     I take it as a compliment GAL |
Hippyt | Tuesday, March 04, 2003 - 05:28 pm     My name everywhere else but here is hippydelux. I don't really know why I didn't use it here. I like my name,it describes me fairly well.I've used it for so long,if I changed it I'd be lost. |
Weenerlobo | Wednesday, March 05, 2003 - 06:48 pm     My name should be "Thread-Killer," "Too Late," or "Bad Timing" because it seems like I show up at the end of a conversation or a thread. Betchya I just did that here too. |
Hermione69 | Wednesday, March 05, 2003 - 07:12 pm     I'll save you, Weener. I am very happy with my username, although I loved what DJGirl came up for me in Bastable's thread. My email username is mosunflowers. The mo stands for middle one because I am a middle child and sunflowers are my favorite flower. |
Egbok | Wednesday, March 05, 2003 - 07:46 pm     Weenerlobo, can I be "Too Late2" or "Bad Timing2"? I tend to show up a bit too late but I try to make the best of the situation. I think most here know it's my style - LOL! I'm thinking of changing my name to Glo because that's what my co-worker call me. |
Bastable | Wednesday, March 05, 2003 - 08:04 pm     I was going to post but I see that Weenerlobo has already been here. Never mind.  |
Queenfish | Thursday, March 06, 2003 - 04:45 am     using Queenfish is LIKE using my first name cause that's my nickname in life. Unfortunatly...People call my office and ask for Queenfish, I go to the store and someone in the parking lot is yelling, Hey Queenfish, leaving church last night someone said, see ya later Queenfish.And the only reason I got that name is cause they call my husband Kingfish. I guess I should beGlad he is known for fishing and not farting or something. |
Squaredsc | Thursday, March 06, 2003 - 08:42 am     i like my screen name here, i also have a 2nd one, witchiepoo that i use on another board and with mediawhore. |
Luvmom | Thursday, March 20, 2003 - 12:16 pm     I also like the name I picked.It lets everyone know how much I love my 2 little girls.I just put a new picture of them in my profile today.I just got them back from Wal-Mart.How's this for being too late for a conversation!! |
Wargod | Thursday, March 20, 2003 - 12:43 pm     Luvmon, you're girls are adorable! |
Tabbyking | Thursday, March 20, 2003 - 01:04 pm     well, my cat's full name is 'drew, i can't believe i gave this contest two months of my life webpee', but the vet just calls him webpee...and kind of whispers the second syllable! i love cats and i love tabitha king, so i am tabbyking. somehow, i got registered on here under my husband's name, so if you think i am 'don' you are way wrong! i am michaela, like dr. quinn, medicine woman. i think my favorite poster's name has to be 'eddie's leg', but he or she might just post during BB time. if i could change mine, 'mousetrunks' might do. when i taught preschool, i read a story about a surfing mouse. i decided to make a large stuffed mouse. he was really cute and about the size of a toddler. so i went to k-mart and asked if they had 'mouse trunks'. and the lady said, 'you mean mouse cages or mouse traps?' and i said, "no, swimming trunks for a large mouse!" i found some, but i had to shop in the infant department. seems they don't have a mouse clothing department, if you can believe that....sheesh! they have housewares, but no mousewears....i had to cut a hole in the rear of his trunks for his tail to stick out! i guess if they had had a real fly and not a fake one done with fancy stitching, he could have just put them on backward. LOL |
Lizadee | Thursday, March 20, 2003 - 01:14 pm     My real name is Alicia and when I was in high school and growing up I don't think alot of people knew how to pronounce it and I'm not real sure where Liza came out of Alicia but that is what I was called my entire life till probably 3 yrs ago when I started using my real name Alicia now Lizadee is from my nickename Liza and my last name being Diaz so alot of times I am called Lizadee And that is also the only one I use on all my other boards just like Zachsmom along with the same password So there you have the birth of LIZADEE |
Sia | Thursday, March 20, 2003 - 07:39 pm     LOL, Liza, I've been pronouncing your screen-name to myself as "Liz-a-Dee," probably because I have a cat named LIZ and am partial to the name!! ROTFL!! |
Djgirl5235 | Friday, March 21, 2003 - 05:03 am     Well, Lizadee - My name actually is LIZA, so I always smile when I see you around here! |
