I have often wondered what the login names of people mean if you have an unusual one. Mine is a mixture of words. My coworkers and I talk in a British accent sometimes and I always say "Pip pip cheerio!"..hence Pip. I also have a rescue cat we named Talula...hence lula...put them together..and Piplula was born. Please share! I am interested in the meaning of your handle!

i'm a big sci-fi buff.. one of the shows that i loved was called Farscape.. in that show, Chiana (a character) called females "nixa".. ie "hey nixa, what's up?" (she never said that, just using it in a sentence so you can see) so i just switched the i to a y.. and there's how i came up with "nyxa" when i signed up that was all i could think about for some reason.. lol short, sweet & to the point, though.. so it works.

People have been calling me Butterbean for 20 years because I look just like the fighter, Butterbean. I even have the stars and stripes shorts. I was playing in a softball tournament one time and some guy in the stands goes "hey Butterbean"...I said "hey" back. Then he turned to his friends and I heard him whisper, "I told you that was him".

COsleeveDude...

• CO=Colorado, where I live, but not where I was born, hence masking my true origins...
  
• sleeve=duh (although tatts are popular around here, but I don't have any)
  
• Dude=I tend to call guys dude a lot, and COsleeveMan sounds like some lame superhero
  

Ever enter a Toughman? I might try some MMA once I'm in better shape, just for a workout.

Just my first marriage. After that I retired winless.

I have a tattoo design that I am planning on getting on my right ankle once I reach goal. It's the classic "cherry" motif, but the cherries are balls of yarn and between the leaves at the top of the stem is a lit fuse. So, cherrybombknits

Favourite drive-by ever, a group of teens screamed "cooookiiee moonsterrrrr" at me... I thought, well I doooo like cookies!!!

Hence chub-related nickname...

Mine is pretty straightforward: my first name plus my birthdate. I guess I wasn't too creative. I had considered RobustoTenor because that's what my voice category was when I sang opera in my younger days. I also wanted to use ConanTheLibrarian but I'm no longer muscular nor a librarian anymore.

My story is in that thread:

When I was a kid there was a song my dad would whistle to me. It was "our song." I didn't know how to whistle yet, but I would make "mouth sounds" to try and imitate his whistling so I could whistle with him. He always whistled through his teeth so it had a sort of phonetic quality to it. My favorite part of the song was a repeating part and when he would whistle it, it always sounded like "wheetsin, whee hee heetsin, wheeeeeee heeeetsin" to me. So as I tried to whistle with him, this is what I would say.

I don't normally use this handle. I used it for Alex's AGB board thinking I'd never really log in that much, and here I am 7 years later still using it.

BTW I've met several people from the AGB board and I've been told, "You don't look like a Wheetsin." I guess that's a good thing...?

Root = administrator of a Linux or Unix operating system, man = well, MAN. Been Rootman for like 20 years from back on the old BBS days and dial up modem access to the burgeoning internet.

Wolf girl, because I really like Wolves (see my wolf tattoo in attached pic) 78 the year I was born

Sunny is the nick name I was blessed with since birth. My grandfather's nick name is Sonny. Cox is my partner's last name, but one I chose not to adopt due to my professional career and all the degrees and licenses on my wall have my maiden name.

Well its prettyh unoriginal but Susan Faye is my name. I figured I had been called enough nicknames on the basketball court- tree, big country, general etc.- I just wanted to be me for a change.
