Hedgehog Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 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.

Aurelia Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 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: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophia Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 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.

Tidbits of Learning Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 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.

Wheres Toto Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 It's been my primary email and sign-on name for almost 20 years.

elegantlion Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 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.

Jenny Piaaree Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 My family and a lot of our friends are learning Punjabi.

MamaSheep Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 (edited) 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... Edited November 3, 2010 by MamaSheep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Binalina Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnsinkableKristen Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
