What's the story behind your profile name?

  • Popular Post

I find a lot of names on here interesting and I'm sure there are good stories behind how everyone chose them. Anyone like to share? For me, Kindle is my horse's name and she was the "straw that broke the camel's back" in my decision to have VSG. I feel bad for her, having to lug my fat ass around the mountains and would love to be able to hop on her without having to find a rock or log to climb up on. (there's a dozen other reasons behind my decision, but my profile name is my tribute to her and how much more fun we will have next summer!)

SerendipityHappens... because it makes me happy every time I read/type it.

I chose BeachLover because it is the one thing that can soothe my soul without even trying. I live on the beach and spend many hours getting my natural prozac fix. When I reach goal I am going to freaking surf and hopefully it won't kill me!!! :) This is a picture of the beach I love!

To start, my name is Megan, and there is a lottery game in MA called Megabucks-- growing up my mom called me Megabuck as a nickname because she felt like she won the lottery with me :) 886 stands for my birth month/ year- born in August 1986!

Hmm. Can anyone guess what mine means? :lol:

Mine is phonetic....KLTKLASS (think Scottish/Irish)

Celtic Lass

I lost my husband two years ago. Didn't think I could live without him. I heard this song one day "Blue Skies". It always lifts my mood makes me feel hopeful.Once I decided to become healthy and start my life again the name felt appropriate.

This is such a sad and beautiful story and name.

Thank you for sharing. I wish you well in your journey!

I had a boyfriend who remained friends with one of his ex's. we were at the "meet the friends" stage and she made it obvious that she had no desire to meet me. Barely said 3 words. Later found out that the "pet" name she and her fiends had for me was-- you guessed it--Godzilla. Presumably, because I was large and ugly (merely a guess since they have said anything to me).

So my name is a reminder that people may judge us, but their opinions never define who we are as people. At the end of the day, I can lose weight. however, there is no surgery to cure geriatric mean girls of their narrow minded bishy ways. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
