    It's the name of an episode of Flight of the Conchords.  I loved that show.

    Hey Hey Ney, that's my middle name but with 2 E's :)

    Mine is super creative....I was eating some Starburst when I signed up and voila. The red ones are my favorites. The 604 comes from the month and year I was GOING to get married at the time I joined up here. Thought about changing it when I starting using this site again but couldn't really figure out how.

    Mine comes from a nickname of my old dog. I'd frequently call her dog love because she was always so loving.

    Third Anniversary 100 Comments Name Dropper

    My user name started out originally to mean commitment and love, but since my break up it stands more for the Shirley Bassey song.  I love that song.  She doesn't need a man she would rather just have diamonds because at least they won't leave her...I kind of predicted my own fate.  Love isn't forever but the diamond is I guess...

    It's an old Sesame Street thing with James Taylor. I've always loved it.

    My screen name used to be ak071401, which represented ex's initials and my initials and our anniversary. Once I started over, I changed it to "FormerlyAK" to keep the AK part so people who knew me on the boards would know it was me.

    It's my nickname and my dog's name (Leonidas, but Leo for short).  But now I have another dog (Callie) and I feel a bit guilty that she is not in my screen name.  I don't think she cares, though. Stick out tongue

    It's my favorite ice cream. I changed from my old name (a nickname XH gave me) during the summer. I ate a lot of mint chocolate chip ice cream. I like it with peanut butter sauce :)

    I made this one when I got rid of my old SN (Mrs.XH'sFIRSTNAME2B) that had nearly 9,000 posts. It was a sad day.

    I wanted something that reflected my renewed sense of self-love. I always feel classy and beautiful when I have a string of pearls on...so, that was was my name!

    The names I tried to pick were taken already. My son was watching TV and the cartoon "Spliced" was on, I typed it, it worked. :)

    Emmii is a nickname from childhood, and I was Emmii's Ocean before because I love the ocean. When the nest froze my siggy and I was tired of it but couldn't change it, I created this new name when I was flipping through the tv guide channel and saw the movie Chasing Amy. Not that the movie has anything to do with anything, I just liked the way it sounded.

    I went to UVA for grad school.

    When I joined theknot (over 11 years ago!) your screen name was your email address.  They since changed it, but I was used to Wahoo (as part of my email) and felt that people "knew" me, so I just cut the end part of my email address off.

    When I first got kicked over from the Knot to the Nest my SN was actually just *Mrs.LastName*. I figured that probably wasn't good on a national message board and since I was mostly posting on Parenting, I wanted something better suited. I guess at the time I likened myself to a super Mom, so instead of the Terminator I am The Mominator.

    Is Emmii a nickname based on your full name?  Emmy was a nickname of mine growing up

    Yeah, my first name starts with an M and my middle name starts with an E, lol How it ended up spelled that way is beyond me!
