Tell Us About Your Forums User Name

[kalphs]

This week's question is "What is the signficance of your forums user name?"

[kalphs]

To be honest I needed something I could remember.

[Farrar]

It's my name. Wow. I'm really boring.

[snickelfritz]

Mines a nickname my dad used for me. Gives me warm fuzzies.

[hsbaby]

Hs=homeschool and baby because when I joined I was just starting out and so a homeschooling baby....yeah, not very creative.

[Hedgehog]

I chose it long ago when I was a very new mom on the first forum I ever joined. It reminded me not to be too prickly :001_smile:

 

I kept it just because. It was easier than thinking up something new. And I like hedgehogs.

[Medieval Mom]

I was a medieval studies major in college. :)

[Pretty in Pink]

I chose mine because 1) I like the movie, 2) I like the color pink, and 3) I like pretty things. Not exactly deep...

[Zoo Keeper]

Mine is self-explanatory. :001_smile: Some days it really is a zoo...especially at feeding time.

[May]

It's my middle name. My Grandma use to call me by it. It was her middle name also.

[Aurelia]

I took 3 years of Latin in high school, and the first year students were all given Latin names in accordance with Roman tradition (on the 7th day for boys, 9th for girls). Mine was Aurelia. I figure it's "classical" enough. :001_smile:

[Sophia]

It seems like there are at least a million people in this country who share my first and last name.

There is even someone on here who has my last name with Academy attached (which is what I use for all my official homeschool records.)

 

I gave up and use my middle name which is not as common.

[Daisy]

I'm not fussy. If I'm going to associate myself with a flower it is going to be the unassuming common road-side daisy. :D

[Tidbits of Learning]

I joined this forum after being a member of what seemed to me an oppressive forum that had very strict rules and restrictions on conversations. I was thinking how the other forum only allowed for certain types of conversations and not for open ended discussions when I came up with my name for here.

[JudoMom]

I'm a Mom. I practice Judo. So do my boys.

[Tiberia]

Mine is the first two letters of my first, middle, and last names:

 

Joann Marie Ma*******

[LuckyDuck103]

I borrowed my dd's username from online Disney-type games. Not very original...

[Remudamom]

A remuda is a string of horses from which cowboys pick their mounts. I don't really have a remuda anymore though, down to four horses.

[Parrothead]

It is what fans of Jimmy Buffett are called.

[mommaduck]

My kids used to hold my skirt through the store and I was usually pregnant and waddling...like a mommaduck and her babies; it earned me the nickname.

[Wheres Toto]

It's been my primary email and sign-on name for almost 20 years. It's from my first and middle names and is what my mother always calls me. The 29 is because just dottieanna was taken and it's the day of the month my birthday falls (people stopped assuming it was my age a long time ago). :tongue_smilie:

[elegantlion]

I found my name in a dream. ElegantLion was this really cool store in the dream. It had items from all over the world. Lots of texture and just a place I wanted to hang out for a long time. Since I have no desire to open a retail store I started using it for my user name.

[Hot Lava Mama]

He is always running into the room telling me, "Mama, the floor has turned into HOT LAVA, I have to SAVE you!". Thus, Hot Lava Mama was born.

Hot Lava Mama

[Jenny Piaaree]

My family and a lot of our friends are learning Punjabi. I suggested the "piaaree" (beloved) for my daughter to use with her name on her email account. Then I stole the idea back for my username here. (Although it is far less applicable in my case! ;))

[Belacqua]

Mines a nickname my dad used for me. Gives me warm fuzzies.

 

What a great name! I thought you were named after the cat character on Big Comfy Couch.

 

I took my name from a character in a book. I just thought it was nifty.

[WarriorMama]

My eldest's name means 'warrior'. I'm her mom...thus WarriorMama. I was awfully stumped when trying to think a name up, and that's what finally came to me. :D

[Sugarfoot]

Mine is a nickname that my grandma used to call me. I miss her everyday, but every time I type or see "Sugarfoot," I hear her saying it.:)

[mytwomonkeys]

i refer to my children as "my two monkeys". my blog is named that & my notecard business is also named two monkey designs. it just seemed fitting. i have another user name that i've used for years on other forums (a combination of my middle name and maiden name)...but when i joined here, i decided to go with something different.:)

[mommyagain]

I became "mommy" with the adoption of my 2 oldest. They grew up and then I became "mom". With the adoption of our 4 youngest I became "mommy" again!:D

[mom2denj]

Mine is obviously mom 2 and my kids first initials;

D-Dalton

E- Erik

N-Nichole

J-Jamie-Lynn

 

:D

[Caitilin]

Not deep--it's my first name. :)

[Mama Geek]

My dh picked on me about being a she geek, so when I found out I was pregnant and joined here I adjusted it to fit.

[Mommy22alyns]

My girls' first names end with "a" and their middle names end with "-lyn." So I'm a Mommy to two alyns. :001_smile:

[mom26]

I'm a mom blessed with 6 children...-mom to six- mom26...not too original:)

[RoughCollie]

I have a Rough Collie.

[Beetkvass]

I eat traditional foods and just happen to love beet kvass!

[mama2cntrykids]

Well, I'm a mama 2 country kids...lolol. Boring, huh?

[MamaSheep]

When ds was little he went through a period when he was REALLY into sheep. He liked to pretend he was a sheep, and he liked to stay close to me. When he was following me around the house he would often say, "I'm the baby sheep, and you are the mama sheep."

 

This used to remind me a lot of a poem I like:

 

 

’Twas a sheep not a lamb that went astray,

 

In the parable Jesus told.

 

’Twas a grown sheep that wandered away,

 

From the ninety and nine in the fold.

 

 

 

And out on the hillside, and out in the cold,

 

’Twas a sheep that the Good Shepherd sought.

 

And back to the flock safe into the fold,

 

’Twas a sheep the Good Shepherd brought.

 

 

 

Now, why for the sheep should we earnestly long,

 

And as earnestly hope and pray?

 

Because there is danger if they go wrong,

 

They will lead the lambs astray.

 

 

 

For the lambs will follow the sheep, you know

 

Where ever the sheep may stray.

 

When sheep go wrong, it will not be long

 

’Til the lambs are as wrong as they.

 

 

 

And so for the sheep we earnestly plead,

 

For the sake of the lambs today.

 

If the lambs are lost, what a terrible cost

 

Some sheep will have to pay.

And then there's kind of a double religious reference in my name for me too. One aspect of it is that it's a statement of my relationship with Christ, related to passages of scripture like John 10:27, "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me." I am a mama, and I am a follower of Christ. The other religious aspect is that some critics have been known to refer to people of my faith as "sheep" in a more derrogatory manner, and to me it's kind of a 'proud to be affiliated with that group even if you mock us' sort of statement. But mostly the other one.

 

Yes, it's true. I really DO overthink EVERYTHING...lol...

[MaMa2005]

DS was born in 2005. So I was a MaMa for the third time in 2005.

[lapsetmom]

I was an exchange student to Finland in high school. "Lapset" is the word for children in Finnish, and I am a mom of children so that is how my name came to be.

[patchfire]

patchfire is my username every where on the internets. I picked it when I was 13, after my favorite horse at summer camp (Patches) and my cat at the time (Fire). Now I love it because I'm the only patchfire online.

[Dad 4 Boys]

I'm the dad of 4 boys and also a dad for boys. Pretty clever, huh?

[LaissezFaire]

Laissez Faire means "let it be' or 'leave it alone'. I use it to remind myself to just let it be when i see a thread that makes me upset or angry. Sort of a reminder not to post out of emotion. LOL

[TanuvasaMama]

Tanuvasa is my last name. It's Samoan. Mama...cause I'm the mama around here!!! Yes, I realize it should be spelled momma but mama is faster to type when I'm already typing a's as it is!

[Chelle in MO]

I'm the dad of 4 boys and also a dad for boys. Pretty clever, huh?

 

Oh, yeah, Babe. Real clever. Just like the WTM username you made up for me...half of my name along w/my location. Clever.

 

Love ya! :D

 

(Dad 4 Boys' wife)

[PhunandFonics]

Well... the kids inherited my father's dyslexia, we try to have lots of fun, and it seems I spend a LOT of time teaching phonics/spelling! So somewhere insanity set in and out came phunandfonics. :lol:

[Luckymama]

My user name is the one I chose for my very first forum, breastfeeding.com eons ago. It's a variation on our last name :D

 

(I believe I just outed myself to anyone from this tiny state :lol: )

[Binalina]

My daughter's name is Sabrina but we call her Bina so as I was going through my kids names thinking of what I should use - this just came to me. I've often thought of changing it to something more inclusive of our whole famly. I like '5Chickadees' Because I love the chickadee-dee-dee-dee-dee song of our state bird and because I have 5 kiddos

[UnsinkableKristen]

About 6 years ago I read a question on a blog that asked "If you could have any stage name, what would it be?" I always thought that The Unsinkable Molly Brown was the coolest title ever, and so that is what I said I would choose - The Unsinkable Kristen Chapman. Then I used it in my blog, and eventually it became the name of my blog when I changed hosts, and now it's a nickname in real life as well. I'm either Unsinkable, Unsinkable Kristen, or UK to my friends :)

 

Fun question!

[dancer67]

Mine is because, I love to dance.:D
