How did you come up with your user name?

User names - just wondering how you came up with yours. Some are fairly obvious but then others are really intriguing.If you are happy to share I would love to know how you chose yours.

Mine is really boring. elcee = my first 2 initials L C for Lynn Christine.

Hey, I know this is the "Chick Room", but I would sure like to know the origin of some of your user names. It's quite an interesting thing to observe, how/why people select their User names and passwords.

I would have thought there would be more replies to this by now!

I also thought there would have been more replies, maybe i should have posted it somewhere else.

So HH - what was the origin of yours?

yes, I suppose if I was to post here, I should probably include MINE!

Many moons ago, I played in a Rock and Roll band, we toured all over the place, and we had lots of nice little groupies. As a result, my band mates gave me that nickname.

I will let your imagination fill in the sordid details......:)

I have used it ever since, even going back to the "CB Radio" days, where it was my "handle".

Unfortunately, it's not all that unique, and you will find "headhunters" in forums all over the planet. I should have Trademarked it....:)

Well, I AM the pool girl. May to October that's where you'll find me except when I cruise LBT. And of course my avatar looks just like me as I gracefully dive into the pool....snicker, yeah, sure.TPG Splash

I'm probably misspelling it, but its what my grandmother called me when I was young, because I started talking at a very young age. I was told it means chatterbox.

I worked at a concert venue and we would use nicknames on our nametags. So when ppl would say Karamel said she would get me in free the door ppl knew they didnt actually know me lol. I became karamel because I worked with 2 gay guy who were a mixed couple and we called them vanilla and chocolate and since im a skin tone in between I became Karamel lol. I had to make it a little more interesting than Caramel so I spelled it with a K :)

My besrt friend Michelle, past away in Jan of 08, she was 34, breast cancer. Anyway, I am pretty clutsy and she was always calling me "stumbelina". So i felt if i used that as my username it was a way for her to be a part of this journey with me.

Mine is pretty boring - really! It is our email address and I can remember it when I log in.

So K= Kristen, R=Ross, Tork=Torkelson = krtork.

No big mystery here. I am a proud bookworm and swot. These are names I've been called all my life. :)

I couldn't think of anything (I had never picked a username that was going to be visible to others) so I picked slim because that is what I want to be and TN because that is where I am.

I have a dog named Rudy. I always give my dogs a zillion nicknames. One day, I called him by his "Latin" name [tongue in cheek]: Ru - tig - li - us.

It stuck.
