RenayofRohan Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 When I first registered, I had no nice pictures of myself, so I chose an avatar that I thought was cool and fun. Well, I love The Lord of the Rings, and Eowyn, Lady of Rohan, is my favorite character. My first name is Renay ~ so I became Renay of Rohan.

Big Buckin' Longhorn Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 I live in an area of Texas with a high Hispanic population, including my dear spouse, and our life just seems to revolve around the Hispanic culture. We speak a rich, annoying I'm sure version of "Tex-Mex" (southern drawl peppered with lots of Spanish phrases) in our home and I just get sort of teased all the time because I'm not even a tiny bit Hispanic, LOL. I guess my screen name just gives me the chuckles! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs.MacGyver Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Given to me by my husband. Usually said in phrases like, "go get em' battlemaiden" or "tell em' like it is battlemaiden" or "don't mess with the battlemaiden." I used to play soccer in college and with him on his command teams after we were married- I have a mean competitive spirit when I want. But he appreciates my toughness more as a military wife, often left to battle it out alone. At the same time, I'm his maiden, and he knows I want his protection. It just sort of stuck through the years. I knew you were a soccer girl! And I've always loved your screen name!!:D My screen name because of DH. He is the king of ingenuity. He can fix, adjust, rig, or build anything, and the guys he works with call him MacGyver (from the TV show). Thus...Mrs. MacGyver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peela Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Mine is a name a spiritual teacher gave me. It is the Hindi name for the colour yellow. It was more poetic when it was given to me - 'yellow like the sun or the shining face of Buddha'. I no longer use this name in real life but its easier to keep it here than go back to a very common western name that I have in common with a certain author of a certain book these boards are famous for. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garga Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 (edited) A lifetime ago (before kids) I had time for computer games. I used to play Everquest. My character in Everquest was a female barbarian. When I was coming up with the name for my character, Garga just popped into mind. It's totally made up. (But pretty good for a barbarian name, no?) For posting on this board, I didn't want to use a name that anyone IRL would recognize, just in case I accidentally post something really stupid and embarrass myself. So, I went back to my old barbarian name. Edited June 12, 2009 by Garga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LivingOutLove has LOL in it, something I do often. :D Maybe it's not that mysterious, but it did take me more than 5 minutes to think of!

They love puddles. Still to this day - literally. As we were walking in to the library, my kids jumped into a ridiculous puddle.

asta Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 (edited) I am Asta, the famed dog from the Thin Man series of movies based on the novel by Dashiell Hammett. The lead characters are William Powell and Myrna Loy, who spends her days wandering around either in fabulously smart suits (it was the 1930s) or charmeuse gowns -- and drinking Martinis! Ah... what a life. a (P.S. The Wiki page may be wrong - While Hammett wrote that Asta was a "wire haired terrier," The movie Asta is described as a wire-haired Schnauzer, but he appeared to be a Welsh Terrier).

Liza Q Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Love Asta!!! Liza is my first name and Q is the first letter of my maiden name. Since my name is pronounced Lisa (long story involving immigrant parents...), at school/work I was often called Liza Q to distinguish me from all the other Lisas, kwim? Plus I just love the Q! When I got married I took my husband's last name, dropped my middle name and became Liza Q. Dxxxx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

specialmama Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 I have a special needs child, but didn't want to have the screen name point to him per se. I usually go by KarynSpoogMaster which has an interesting story. When I was around 5 or 6, my older sister caught me picking me nose (oh stop, ya'll did it, too!) :lol: and she took to calling me Booger. Well, my dad, who was sensitive like me, told her that it wasn't a nice name and asked if she could somehow make it more... um... palatable! :lol: So she changed it to Scloober. Well, that had a really gross, wet sound to it :ack2: so it morphed into Spooger. I was Spooger, Spooglet, Spoogatini, Spoogareenie, Spoogasaurus, SpoogMeistro, and finally, I earned the grand title: *trumpet sounds* Master of Spoogs! (you have to echo that like He-Man's "I have the power!!!!") Hence, KarynSpoogMaster. It's much better than the original, I think! :w00t: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mommyfaithe Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 I'm sure there is an interesting story behind some of the screen names here, although some I think I can guess where they came from! ;) Please tell us the story behind YOUR screen name! I'll start: Mine can be easily deciphered by reading it backwards. It's related to my interest in solar electricity. Mine is what my niece called me when she was little...actually it was mommy-aunt-faithe.

cathmom Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 I created mine after a particularly rough morning with my drama queen dd (then 4.) It was a bad, bad, name choice and I regret it because it makes people think I am a drama queen. I am not, I promise you. She is definitely not. The sky could be falling, the local nuclear plant being taken over by terrorists, a swarm of locusts descending, and she would be telling you, "Well, all we have to do is..." to take care of the whole situation! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satori Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Chiming in a few week's late, but I only entered this general forum (as opposed to the curriculum one) this week. :) I have never heard of anyone with the name Satori, and I always thought it was beautiful. I named myself Satori while playing alts in a few online games like Everquest and such. Finally, when my daughter was born, that's what I named her! Satori means "enlightenment" in Japanese and also used in Buddhism/Hinduism, and it sounds so peaceful yet knowledgeable to me. It also means "characterized by belief in the power of human reason".
