I have seen this posted on another forum and thought it was interesting.

One of my nickname's has been Pookey - like garfield's teddy bear, since I was a kid, and 'ism' means the 'art of' or 'state of', etc...Pookeyism: The art of being me!

Some of my close friends call me Nadz, it's short for Nadia.

My daughter is a competitive tumbler...so I'm a tumblersmom

Dani is my childhood nickname. Diva is a nickname given to me by one of my patients.

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.

I'm boring.......Kayte is my name & 8/19 is my birthday. On another wks forum I'm Kate+weight, but thought since I'm dropping the weight, why + it??

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 the reason that I did my surgery

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.

It was a childhood nickname one of my uncles gave me.

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.

What a great thread. Very interesting and fun. Laughter is a bonding agent

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!

I was previously JimmyGotSOUL... It was a name that everyone seemed to call me after the move DreamGirls lol.. It's also my twitter an too.

After I got sleeved I wanted to show the board the new me, so I switched out SOUL for SLEEVED! And that s how I was born lol
