Explain your name on LBT...

[Poodles 0]

Now some things are obvious Debbie1993 has to be a Debbie born in 1993. Bandedforever loves the band (sorry if someone actually has that name... not picking on anyone). But some names are off the wall. How did you choose your name?

I'll go first:

Origin of Poodles: I am a big LOTR geek. Was a Miriel at one time but was turned into a Poodle during an online game by a wizard. (Yes I am a geek) My so called "friend" said I was hyper and annoying like a Poodle, so everyone started calling me Poodles. The "Tricksy" was added as an adjective, because I made excellent moves in the game (I assume). My hubby says it kinda sounds like a porn star name. I have had it for so long now, I just keep it... because I am a little hyper and annoying. The hot pink is just me. Funny thing is I have a Schnauzer and a Mutt. I don't really care for Poodles.

Ok now... PlunderBunny... Vinesqueen and the rest... fess up, how and why do you have your name...

[Ms. Vicki 0]

I have been called Ms.Vicki by everyone I'v known since the the 70's (Tiny Tim's Miss Vicki, for those of you that remember).

Funny, even people I just meet that do not know my knickname call me Ms. Vicki. Maybe its a respect thing. The kids in my Sunday School class call me Ms. Vicki too.

[Yoda 0]

Mines probably pretty obvious...but like Poodles I am a HUGE LOTR fan (the theatre production in Toronto is spectacular, btw!!!) ever since I first picked up Tolkien in grade 6 (1976!!!). Anyways, I digress....I am also a very loyal Star Wars Fan. I was a goner the first time Hans Solo came into view on that big screen (aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh... :P *snaps out of it*)....I still have the entire collection of trading cards from all the movies, I have a life size cut out of Hans Solo in my garage (my husband made me move him out of the bedroom!!!) which sometimes scares the hell out of me when I come into the garage at night..."omigawd, there's a thug in the garage....oh wait...tis merely my lovely Hans).. Yes, and how does this relate to Yoda...well I must say that Yoda has always been one of my fave characters and he is a ROCKIN' fighter and is the best jedi around! (yes, I do realize jedis don't actually exist...ahem!). Plus, lets face it...Yoda is damn cute, even though he is kinda green & he has a tiny light sabre!!!! (but he beats Kermit anyday!!). As well, a few yrs ago, a friend started calling me Yoda because she kept commenting on how good my advice was and saying that I was "wise beyond my years" etc etc.....Okay, I'll stop now..otherwise I'll go on forever. Sidenote: I'm fortunate enough to have met and married my soulmate, who loves Star Wars (& LOTR) even more than me!!!! Yes...tis possible!!!!

Can't wait to hear some of your stories.

Thanks DeLarla... That is a wonderful Thread! It is so neat to learn about others!

[bubbyville 0]

Bubbyville -

Bubby is the pet name that my DH and I have called each other since we started dating almost 17 yrs ago. We started with "Buddy" but that isn't the term one would like to be called when you are dating someone. So we changed it slightly and "Bubby" definately fits us!!

Our first house was in the country right outside an uncorporated town called Bussyville. (several times a year they have to fix that sign - kids enjoy painting a big P over the nice huh.

So, we decided that we lived in Bubbyville - population 2 (at the time- gosh, that was @ 15 yrs ago ).

It is something that we still call each other and are very proud that Bubbyville now has a population of 5!!

...."because that's my name"......

Boooooorrrrrrriiiiiiiinnnnnnggggggggggggg.

I'm an LOTR geek, too, Yoda and Poodles! I use my Quenya name as an e-mail address.

[maryb 1]

I know I am boring because I used my first name and my last name initial. There are so many Mary's in the world I have been called everything from Mary Ann to Mary Sue. I like Mary B the best, so that is me! I never had a nickname...except my niece and father-in-law called me Murney...but it didn't stick. Oh and I am the _itch of the family, so that fits too with the Maryb

[Jammin & Losin 1]

Well ... I became Jammin & Losin because MY name is Jamie and I was hoping I would be Jammin with my weight loss after I was banded !!! So far 100 pounds down in 14 months I'd have to say... I've lived up to my name sake!! LOL!!

[gordonfamily3 0]

not to creative here - we are the Gordon family of 3.

It's very cool to learn about others...

[leatha_g 4]

Um, I'm Leatha, last name G.... not creative, but my former wilder self was Lethalwoman. Sigh... I'm just not as Lethal anymore, I guess....

[Archermom 0]

Well, what can I say - our whole family loves archery. We even have an archery range in the back yard.

And to top it of we all are HUGE LOTR fans- we even have the prototypes of the Legolas elvenbows (and they have been shot- have a very acurat aim too)! WHOO HOO.
