What's in a Name

Hi guys... Dont get me wrong I love being referred to as Flabuless cause hey...I am! but its always nice to be addressed to as my first name Becky...so I thought I would start this thread so that...those of us who haven't revealed our first names yet can...and also so that we can hear some of the meanings behind our unique user id's that we have chosen.

I'll start us off

First name: Becky

user id?: well mine I think is obviously cause I'm fabulously flab-u-less!

So come on guys...lets reveal the secret behind our names.

I use bitteroldhag as a moniker because one of my students called me a bitter old hag on ratemyprofessor.com. It hurt my feelings at first but then I figured that kid didn't do too well in my class so I adopted it for my internet name. My real name is Sharon and I'm 59 years old and would like to be thinner though I've only gotten to 185 pounds (down from 220). I take care of 7 animals and my 86 year old mother and teach a full load at Northeastern State University in Oklahoma. Boo, Sooners and Cowboys.

Hi Sharon, Love NSU! Went there after high school for several years. Wish I had graduated there. I hear they are no longer the Redmen because of the PC police? Is that right?

Well mine is totally not creative. Usually I am AliCat521 but I think it was taken. So obviously my name is Alicia and my b-day is 5/21.

I'm Jessica! My name, JDru, is a nickname I got around the time everyone was calling Jennifer Lopez JLo. So J is from my first name, Jessica and the Dru is part of my last name.

Green is my family name and also a very nice colour. I usually think of myself as Green or by my initials, rarely by my first name which happens to be Alice.:xena_banana:

I love seeing the reasons behind everyone's usernames!! Some have some really awesome ideas! My username is pretty easy to figure out. When my nephew was a little tike, he couldn't say Denise so he called me Aunt Niecy and it stuck. Renee is my middle name and I live in the great state of Missouri!!

dezadoo is a nickname from an old roommate, my name is desma and i am a big univ of louisville fan!!! it's my alma mater!

My favorite color is blue, and Sky Blue is my favorite shade. Followed by my #2, Carolina Blue...Go Tarheels!!!! I just changed the spelling. If I have a daughter, I thought of naming her Skye Blu. My friends think that is going too far. I think it would be a cute name though.:)

Oh, and my name is Yolanda....And I was born in 79. :)

Geez, my user name is so boring after reading how everyone came up with theirs. My name is Susan. My husband and son both are into kart racing. My husband drives the 47 and my son drives the 94.

Hi all...I'm Judy. I got the name spunky in college. I was active in student goverment, sorrority, SDS, and a flower child.(without the free love.....wink)and now I'm a woman.Hence spunkywoman.....the band is making me spunky again.....

thank you

Yeah, we had to drop the Redmen even though we have more Native Americans per capita than any other university in the nation. But some folks are a serious pain in the ass. I also love NSU. It's a good school and we are making it better. But I graduated from OU in 1969 so I'm a real Sooner. I'm sure glad Adrian Peterson is finally well. I was worried. He'll probably get hurt in the next game, but I was proud of the Sooners without him.

SW - First last name initials (before I got married)

SaraDee- a nickname my ex-boyfriend gave me

My first name is Sara and my birthday is 6/29

Drews ( my nickname for my hubby is Drew) Lou (his nickname for me is Lou) LOL... it's pretty silly I guess. :faint:
