What does your SN mean?

[rlsadc]

I know alot of them have funky meanings and stories...Id like to hear... :D

[Kellyr2]

Boring here. I'm Kelly. Last name starts with an R. On the first message boards I ever signed up on, "kelly" and "kellyr" were taken, so I took "kellyr2." I'm so very original. It stuck, though.
Also, useless trivia - my password for that account was "baby." because I was pregnant. how lame! (see, I wouldn't share that info, except that I later changed the password, and then later got banned, so it doesn't matter anymore!)

lol...mine is my husbands initials and then my madien initials, not too original either. but it was our email, so like in your case, it just stuck.

[amy919]

Mine is boring, too. Amy is my name and 9/19 is my birthday.

[TheRealMacGyver]

rlsadc, you're just trying to get to 1,000 aren't you.:D

You have to tell us yours first:p

My friends have called me MacGyver since the beginning of time (not really, but at least since the show has been around). They call me it because I have a special ability of fixing things that don't work. The fix usually includes the typically artillary of garage items such as duct tape, hose clamps, JB Weld, rope, etc.-you get the idea. I also have been known to save a party from a thunderstorm by rigging tarps around the yard from trees and anything else that didn't move. Anyhow, whenever I registered somewhere (can't remember where) MacGyver was already taken, so just kept trying different things and voila TheRealMacGyver! There is some other guy in either UK or Ireland that uses the name too. That's my story and I'm stick'n to it.

[cpsaddict]

Well, mine is pretty obvious, but addict may not be a strong enough term for my car seat habit! :D

[cadensmommy]

mine is obvious too!

Clarissa

[rlsadc]

rlsadc, you're just trying to get to 1,000 aren't you.:D




well...its helping..lol

[Jeanum]

Mine is pretty straightforward, my first name and college acronym. Also a bit of word play inspired by several people who tend to start out by saying Jean, um... when they call me, lol.

[papooses]

Leila was born with at least 3" of straight black hair + darkish skin tone -- unlike my nieces/nephews she constantly wanted to be TIGHTLY bundled & since I wore her in a sling at work we all nicknamed her "Papoose" (native american baby)....

Within a few weeks her hair was curly, but people still ask me if I adopted her from an Indian Reservation, the Middle East or South America :rolleyes: Fewer people than I thought possible actually realize *I* am her mom & her dad is just black! (BTW, we don't use the PC term "African American" since my SO actually volunteered in Africa for many months & learned that there is nothing African about him, LOL)

[Laurenc0101]

Mine is pretty boring too;) Lauren is my first name. C starts my last name. And 01/01 is my birthday:D

Lauren:)

[Loves2sing]

I think mine is pretty self explanatory. I wish I was more creative, but when it comes to names, I'm not, now if I could decorate my name.... Let's just say, it would be snazzy. But i am kind of computer illiterate, so even if i could, I don't know how.

You and my dh would get along really well. lol he's the same way. A techie who's a gearhead at heart. :rolleyes:

mine is from a typo a long time ago that stuck, but the short version is: skater- because I figure skate, Babs - typo from Baby, and cpst because I am one. lol

[Morganthe]

(BTW, we don't use the PC term "African American" since my SO actually volunteered in Africa for many months & learned that there is nothing African about him, LOL)

ROFL I've met enough people from Africa to understand exactly what he's talking about :) First experience was age 11 at Heathrow Airport waiting for flight. I played with children my own age who were Black, not brown skinned. I loved their colorful clothes and melodic speech. So different from Americans in their outlook and way of life. More than the difference between Irish & Irish-American, imo. :)


Morganthe is my SCA name (Society for Creative Anachronism) that dh created for me years ago in hopes that I would Join him in Battle to fight back-to-back in mortal combat in heavy stick fighting.

Yeah right. :rolleyes: Just because I used to have 'anger issues', participated in brawls & bar fights, and was a little too outgoing physically, somewhere he got this concept that I'd like this. Nope. I'm peace, love, & hugs for the last 15 years. I'm not involved at all with the SCA world, but I'll support his habit as long as I keep up my own obsessions :thumbsup:

I just read a story about a white lady and a japanese husband and people seeing her and the baby out would ask, 'Where did you get her!!!!???', and the mom saying with a straight face, "My Uterus!" :D


And me? I'm just Jools... plus 3.... I'm leaving my dh out since he's not 'from' me, heheh. My other common name is JoolsTAG... Jools and my middle and last initials (I hyphenated my maiden and married names A-G)

[Loves2sing]

mine is from a typo a long time ago that stuck, but the short version is: skater- because I figure skate, Babs - typo from Baby, and cpst because I am one. lol

I actually had a conversation with Aidensmom02 about your name! We were wondering what it meant, and how it was suppossed to be pronounced, She won, I guess, I thought maybe it was Babs like from the Loonie Toons Babies or something. She thought it was Skater- Babe- CPST, I'll have to let her know!

[papooses]

'Where did you get her!!!!???', and the mom saying with a straight face, "My Uterus!" :ROTFLMAO: :2thumbsup:

SCA also had my LOL :p

[trailrunnermom]

Mine comes from my hobby, which I don't actually get to pursue very often lately (see list of kids and carseats below for reason.) :)

But I am heading out (completely solo!) on Friday for a real trail race on Saturday (or, as I like to call it, a "mini-vacation"). I'll get to spend hours running (and walking) through the woods, and the only whining I'll hear will be my own-- LOL.

[Melizerd]

My brother used to call me Melizerd when we were kids. I've never run across a board where it was taken. I use it for a ton of things.

[skaterbabscpst]

i remember you telling me a long time ago in the chat...

babs ALWAYS through me off... that is why i have such a hard time with your name...lol

LOL Yep. Babs used to be BabyB96... :whistle:

nope, not babe, babs like looney toons (gee - did I really say that?!) lol

I answer to Becky mostly. :rolleyes:

[Splash]

The first message board I ever joined, long long time ago, was about Great Danes. We had one and were heavy in rescue for all of central FL, and I signed up to learn more and make friends. I have two dogs, Splash and Wally. Splash is the Dane, so I used her name as my SN there. It just stuck, and I've used it pretty much everywhere ever since. SplashAndWally is also my email address at pretty much every domain in existence, as well as sign in for a lot of other things. In fact, a LOT of people think that Splash and Wally are pet names AJ and I have for each other. Um, no... can you see it? "Hey Wally, c'mon over here..."
No.

[Loves2sing]

LOL that would make an interesting pet name.

I love Danes :D

[skipspin]

Mine is old. When my mom was setting up screen names on the computer when I was in high school I told her I wanted Schip-spin. I had a Schipperke (breed of dog- google it) that loved to literally spin in circles. Well, she wasn't thinking and put skipspin. So, that was that. We got another Schipp after I was married and named her Sombra. (Nice sounding Spanish alternative to "Shadow.") Sadly, Shadow passed away at the age of 16 in September, but DD and Sombra are best friends. They get in trouble together.

i always wondered about yours...no more. lol

[Michi]

Mine is unusual, but it really isn't very creative - It is mine and DH's nicknames combined.
Paul - "Pablo", and Michelle - "Michi"

[abacus2]

My now dh created a club in high school (It's in the yearbook and everything, LOL) called NARF (Nerds Are Really Fun). Since he created the club he deemed himself "the Dictator of NARF" and had everyone else chose similar names. Being a math nerd, I chose "the Abacus of NARF." When it came time for me to choose a username at the 1st message board I joined, I went with it but ended up with abacus2 because abacus was taken.

[rlsadc]

lol see i told you that everyone (well almost) has some cute story...lol

[Simplysomething]

I haven't got a cute story, does that make you feel better?
I can only think of one or two places online where I don't have "simply" in my username. Most are variations of my first aol sn from 96 or so. Yep, I've never been cool. Never will be cool, and that's OK! :)

yea you keep telling yourself that...lol

[cmm7]

I'm lame, too... they are my initials plus my favorite number which was my soccer number for 15 seasons and my hockey number for 12.

[oxeye]

My name is Roxie and MS Word spell checked always liked to suggest replacing my name with oxeye. It stuck. :)

Oxeye is a type of daisy. :)

[JaRylan]

JaRylan is Jacqui and Rylan. I want a new sign in name I just have no idea what. My very first message board I posted on I used my mother-in-law's maiden name...I knew nothing about forums and boards and thought I was being secretive and safe. :p

[MagnificentMama]

Uhmm.. I'm pretty lame.

Miss because I'm not married
Mommy b/c well.. uhmm I'm a mommy
928 was the day my daughter was born

[scatterbunny]

I'm really, really scatterbrained, so Mark somehow started calling me scatterbunny, and it became, like, my code name or something. :p I use it as my username on almost all the boards I've ever posted on. It's my email, too.

[twom]

My username on other boards is twomonsters, because I have two kiddos who I call my monsters. :D Then when I came here I guess I didn't feel like taking the extra second to type out the whole thing, so it's just twom, lol.

[CandCfam]

It was the best I could come up with, it was pre-kids, but I wanted it to be flexible enough so that when we had kids, it could apply to the whole family:

Collin and Carolyn's family

It's been my user name everywhere since we got married - so almost 9 years now.

[Starlight]

starlight, starbright, 1st star I see tonight...

No..

umm... I asked my dh for suggestions, and he said starbright. But apparently, I didn't catch all of it, just the star part. I listen really good.

So... I'm starlight.

[Patriot201]

I wish I had a cool, fun story. I don't. :)

[MySillyKids]

Um, i have silly boys?

And its fitting i guess! LOL

[CDNTech]

I had the opportunity to change my sn when I came over here and didn't. Thought it would be confusing to people that visit the same multiple boards I visit. So, I stuck with Aidensmom02, honestly, I'd like to change it. I now have two kids and plan on a third (and maybe fourth), so the others really get left behind... plus, I'd really like to be me again (not always so & so's mom), kwim?

Aiden was born in '02 - Aidensmom02... totally original, eh?:rolleyes:

[remken]

Mines the first 3 letters of my 2 youngest kids name combined. Remy and Kendra. Nothing exciting.

[Yoshi]

I'm really, really scatterbrained, so Mark somehow started calling me scatterbunny, and it became, like, my code name or something. :p I use it as my username on almost all the boards I've ever posted on. It's my email, too.

That's really cute! My DH used to call me "toaster bunny" because my feet were always so warm under the covers.:p

Obviously, as I state below- my cats are Yoshi and Luke. Although "Luke" is really one of my nicknames for the cat named Charlie.

[Chameleon]

Mine is for my hair. LOL I change hairstyles and colors so much that I was called that while I was in the Marine Corps. I have an addiction to new hairstyles/colors.

[twokidstwodogs]

Mine is pretty self explanatory, though I guess it does leave out DH. Some days the dogs are enough trouble that they add up to an extra kid or two.

[Erika Ruth]

Hmmm... Mine? First and Middle Name. :) Pretty simple! :)

Erika

[broken4u05]

My friend wanted me to do something with him that i said i would never do and he made me do it. Well i wanted to so i "broke" for him and that was in 2005 -broken for you 05 It works for me.

[Dillipop]

Mine's pretty boring. DS1 is Dillon and my parents call him dillipop. They even make up songs using it. So, when I needed a name, there it was.

[Leila]

So there was this woman who was pregnant back in 1974...and she had a baby girl, right?

Leila's my first name. I'm very often asked why it's my first name, if I'm named for the Eric Clapton song (I'm not, I was born four years before he released Layla and it's a Derek & the Dominoes song.), and why I pronounce it incorrectly. Fun, eh?

[Mumoflittleguys]

Mine's pretty self-explanatory. I'm a mum of little guys. I considered being Mumof2littleguys, but I figured as soon as I did that, I'd get pregnant. I did, and we're apparently building a little guy herd, so the SN sticks. ;)

[Judi]

Um, my name is Judi? Yeah, that's it! No, not Judith, just Judi.

[CAEKWILSON]

well mine is c for my husband, a for my name, and e for my oldest and k for my youngest, and it is also my email, and are last name is wilson.
c-chad
a-amy
e-emily
k-kayleen

[Tara]

Um...

So how do you pronounce it? Lila? Like Lilac, without the c?

So you are Leila, rhymes with Sheila?

[papooses]

I'm obviously not Leila, LOL, but my kiddo is *a* Leila ;)

Although it's origin in any spelling is supposedly Arabic, I do know that the Irish pronunciation is "Lee-la" ... I just choose to pronounce it as if she's Spanish :rolleyes: so it does sound like "Layla" for us.

[Amaris]

Mine is pretty boring too. My dear mother decided that I needed 3 names, 3 unusual ones!! Amaris is one of them!

[ThreeBeans]

Very simple. I have Beans. Three of them. Please note my signature :love:

[mominabigtruck]

Mine is pretty self-explanatory too. I'm a mom and I have a lot of big trucks.

[TheRealMacGyver]

I'm a mom and I have a lot of big trucks.


Yeh, but just how big is your truck? :D

[mominabigtruck]

Yeh, but just how big is your truck? :D
http://www.kenworth.com/2100_vir_w900.asp

This is what my current truck looks like. I'm trying to talk dh into a western star though.

[TheRealMacGyver]

Oh my, you really do have a big truck!:D I've never driven anything quite that big (close, but not quite). So you long haul or stay local? My cousin drives something like that up in Ohio, travels mostly across midwest 1-2 day trips. So your a real truck driving momma-cool.

[Lilsid]

My DD's name is Sidney Rose. When she was born she was so tiny. That we carried her around on a pillow, so we did not break her. Well she was not too small 6lb 7oz at birth, but she was our first and we were scared to hurt her.

So DH called her LilSid (Little Sidney). Not to original but it stuck. Now she is 30 months old and 36lbs. She is not so little any more. Now she is my chunky monkey.

These are Sidney and Daddy the first few weeks old.

I'm in Ohio, who does your cousin drive for? I mostly stay local just because my youngest doesn't do well but my dh goes out usually all week and just comes home on the weekend.

[Cindy&Connor]

Well obviously Cindy was taken. LOL! I'm glad to know I'm not the only person who isn't creative.

Jools got it right. I have to admit, I've never heard of there being an Irish pronunciation for the name. All I know is that my mother claims to have seen the name in a magazine while pregnant with me. She says she didn't know how to say it, so she decided it was Leila since it ends the same way as Sheila. LOL! I actually use the Sheila reference a lot, it definitely helps people remember the right pronunciation.

Tiffany, I'm glad you posted that. Now I can say Leila's name right when I read your posts, lol! Oh...my high school Spanish teacher just called me Leila...but she took out the e when she wrote it down. There's a lady near here who's originally from Turkey, she always says Layla when she sees me. I don't mind it so much from her...it sounds so melodic. And she always has to tell me, "Layla is be-yoot-ee-fool flower in Turkey. Be-yoot-ee-fool like you!" It is a beautiful flower...a tulip. :D

[kangato2roos]

Mostly a lurker, but I'll chime in, I suppose.

I like Winnie the Pooh. While Piglet is my favourite, I've been told by dh and good friends I'm more like Kanga. Kanga had Roo. Well, I have two kids, so I have two Roos.

Hence, Kanga (mommy) to two Roos (kids) became kangato2roos... apparently because I'm too lazy to use the shift key and capitalize my letters. :p

Despite popular belief, I'm not Australian.

This is what my current truck looks like. I'm trying to talk dh into a western star though.

Oh my, you really should be "mominabigRIG!". Truck is an understatement :p

[lovinwaves]

My name is lovinwaves, because I love the water. Not the ocean, but Lakes to be exact.

I have always lived by a lake and grew up jet-skiing, skiing, wakeboarding, tubing, boating... In fact my DH and I met at "Jet-Ski Cove". We were both on our Waverunners and saw each other, instant love let me tell you LOL!!

The "waves" part of my name is because I love to jump waves or wakes behind boats.

[Starlight]

Mine is pretty self-explanatory too. I'm a mom and I have a lot of big trucks.

:ROTFLMAO:

I'm thinking Macgyver was thinking you were driving a Ford F150 or something. LOL

Up North, I think anything bigger than an S10 is considered massive. LOL

Down in Texas, a quad cab Ram 1500 is itty bitty. Need a hemi, and the dualie... Okay, I mispelled that, I'm sure, but the truck with the 6 wheels.

:ROTFLMAO:

I know what your saying. When I got my first dualie I was so excited and then I tried to take it through a bank drive thru and almost got stuck. Where we just moved to has low bridges everywhere so I just sent out a memo to the drivers about how to get to our house and that they are not to go more then 5mph while going under the bridges.

[Starlight]

LOL

I nearly got stuck in one of those stupid bank drive throughs with my minivan.

Ugh.

There's a lovely scrape on the pass door.

Ahhh, those are the times I love driving a NORMAL sized vehicle :p;)

In Germany, my 4wd Dakota was too tall for city garages.
Life became much simpler when I switched to a VW Passat. It didn't even matter if I had bikes on the roof (rack style made them lay flat), I'd clear everything :D

[Knittingfor4]

Well, I've registered on other boards as Partyof5, but just before Christmas we were very surprised to find out we would be 6. So now I am knitting for 4 :thumbsup: Also crocheting and sewing but that would be too long ;)
