How Did You Choose Your Screen Name?



Recommended Posts

It's just my first name. It was available and I didn't have to add any numbers or anything else to it.

Kala. That's me :)

My name is Amanda, but since I was in Jr. High my friends have called me Mina as a nickname. Now everyone (aside from my best friend who calls me Manda) calls me Mina, even my mom. Apparently my neighbor's sister, who is also named Amanda, used to babysit a kid who couldn't say her name so he called her Mina. And Leigh is my middle name. Mina Leigh. :)

I USE TO BE A RAPPER/POET, AND THAT WAS MY STAGE NAME, "MINNIE FAISES/MANY FACES". I USED IT BECAUSE I'M A MULTI-FACETED PERSON, AND I CAME FROM SO MANY DIFFERENT ANGLES, INTERESTS & TALENTS.

Willow was my favorite character in a movie by the same name "Willow" in the 80's starring Val Kilmer, I also loved the name so I use it for my e-mail and any screen name I need I even named my basset hound Willow I guess the name just stuck with me. I would've named my daughter Willow but her father wasn't haven't it.

Mine is my nickname, shortened from Melissa to just Lissa... and it's said just like it would be if the Me were still in front of it, not Lisa.

Mine is simple, I live in the desert and I'm a large rodent with a pointy nose and a long tail. OK, I was lying about the rodent part. :) I just figure it's a good name for a crusty old guy that lives in the desert.

Mine is a nickname my husband gave me. On one of our very first dates somehow the name game came up and he apparently thought it was so cute that I sang it. I'm Jan so janjan BoBann stuck and he had ever since called me BoBann. I like it. It's simple. :)

Well, mine originally was Mommy2Girls, but then I changed it to be shorter, M2G (plus after a couple of people who didn't want to type that out would say Mommy...lol, sounds wierd coming from anyone other than your kids!)

But I have two girls so not only am I a Mommy OF 2 girls but I'm a Mommy TO girls (don't know what it's like to raise boys!) so I thought that Mommy2Girls cleverly associated the two ideas.

M2G is much easier to type out!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
