Where did your username come from?

Another "getting to know you" post :-)

I think how you chose your screen name says a lot about you.

Mine: geojam224 - geo comes from geology, I studied geology in college. jam is the first part of my name, Jamael (pronounced ja-MEL), and 224 is my birthday! Feb 24 :-)

Where did yours come from?

  • Mine started off as  my email when I was about 14. I'm only 5 feet tall (and I didn't hit the 5 foot mark until i was about 18). People always bugged me about being short so I used to tell them I wasn't short i was vertically challenged (I'm fairly certain that phrase came from my dad), but vertically challeneged was already taken as an email.. and then height deprived popped into my head lol so i tried it and that wasn't taken. It's kinda stuck.. its a pretty safe bet that it's usually not taken for usernames either so it's usually my go to :)

  • Mine is just my name, my maiden name initial, and my birthday day :)

  • in college my roommate and i were trying to think of AIM usernames and she had a missy elliot song on and she kept singing, "come on... get down, come on ... get down" so i tried it and it worked  lol

    i've used it for everything since then  :-P

  • Mines nothing complicated which I guess makes me a vanilla type of girl. S is the first initial of my name, Sarah, and Palko is my maiden name. Like most of you, its my email address and username for everything. Sometimes I through numbers into the mix (usually 25 for my basketball number) but I can typically get away without one.

  • Underwne was my college email/username. It is part of my maiden name (Underwood) so Underw and my first name is Nichole (Nicki) so n and my middle name is Elizabeth...so you have underwne. My husband made fun of me incessantly because it sounds like "under weanie."

     He's real mature...hahaha

  • Mine is just mildlymailyn. Mailyn is actually my name and mildly is just something I thought would be "cute." I use it as my everything e-mail :)

  • Mine comes from Martha's Vineyard (vineyard). It's the place where our relationship really began and where we got married! 12 came from the year we got married.

    Me too...

    Mine was my email when I was about 13, had braces and needed a MSN name that wasn't already taken...have been trying to get rid of it ever since, but I hate having to numbers behind things to thus it stays since anything with my name is impossible to shorten, add onto or anything without adding numbers,  (Whoever thought Katie was a awesome name in the 80's....didnt realize how incredibly common it would become). So its stuck.

    Haha--thank you...you, unlike my husband, are mature...hahahaha. Though under wine may mean I am constantly intoxicated. Guess I would rather be there than under a "weanie" all time.

  • bpphoto785 is the AIM name I came up with when I was 12 or 13. BP are my maiden initials, photo because at the time I wanted to be a photographer and 785 are my birth month (July) and year (1985).

  • Great ?

     

     littleshrink:  I am a counselor/psychologist and my father-in-law started to call me "littleshrink" when I was in grad school and it kind of just stuck with everyone that knows me now.  Since he passed away, it's just kind of a reminder about him and his humor.

  • I really wish mine was more creative...obviously my name is Melissa and when we first got engaged we were going to go with 51212 but deciced on 51912 and the stupid knot wouldnt let me fix it so its stuch haah

  • Mine is my college email address. Mancil is my madien name, A is my first initial, and 60 was the last 2 digits of my student id. 
  • Well.. mines obvious ;)

    Mrs. New last name and our wedding date!

  • My maiden name is a 10 letter long slovak name and since middle school my friends always shortened it to kushie and it's just stuck, they still call me that.  In fact my one friend's brother asked me not to long ago what my first name was and I've known him for about 6 years now. Hubby and I were both born in 77.  Nothing creative

  • Mine was created in an attempt to have something untracable to me... I spend a lot of time on social media for work and my new department has a number of investigators so I try and separate out personal and work lives as much as possible. Plus then I can type a bit more about myself without it tying back to google results.

    So since this is all about my  new life I made it about the 2 biggest changes- I moved to the suburbs (H owned his house so I gave up my city duplex I rented) and Mrs for being married.

     

     

  • Mona is one of my nicknames and the 8 is for H's hockey number :)

  • gsg717:

    gs are my initials, g is the initial from my father's last name (i was given my mother's last name), 7/17 is my birthday. 

  • I was wondering if this topic would ever come up.  It's kind of a "secret" since it has to do with my sleeping disorder.  I have narcolepsy, and while my close friends/family know I try to keep it to myself since 99% of people have no idea what that condition is really like/how it really works.  I don't want word spreading about it since some people might have a problem going to see a dentist with narcolepsy (despite it not interfering with my work at all).  People tend to assume the worst about what they don't understand.

     Anyways, Aurora is Sleeping Beauty (from the Disney version of the fairy tale).  I think the rest is self explanatory!

  • I chose sweet tooth because I'm a dental hygienist, and its just cute to me..but I also have a major sweet tooth! And I'm not real sure why I chose 11. We started dating on November 1st but that would be 111 so... Idk. :)
  • Mine is pretty easy: Kimberly is my full name (I usually go by Kim); K is my middle initial and H is the first letter of my maiden name.
  • I love reading all these responses!

    max&lucy  -  nothing super creative - H and I have 2 cats: Maximus and Lucy - I used their names to avoid putting too much personal data on here although I guess our whole lives are online now anyway. 

    :)  

     

  • People used to call me "mini-me" in high school, obviously Austin Powers had just come out! lol So I changed it to Meg (my first name is Megan) and 526 is for May 26th, our wedding date. Loved reading these, you ladies are clever!
