mykdsmomy Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I used to listen to Dr. Laura (I grew tired of her after about a month) but it was too late and I had already chosen my user name (people would always call and say Hi, I'm my kids mom....) I kept it only because it's my username on on other boards and since I can't seem to remember what I had for breakfast most days, I figured I'd keep it ;) My dh's user name for his boards is Freshcheese :001_huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirty ethel rackham Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Mine was taken from a Pirate Name Generator, in honor of Talk Like a Pirate Day. At one time, a bunch of Ellens joined the board and it became confusing as to who wrote what posts :). So, when I happened upon this site, I decided to take this as my moniker.

kchara Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Mine was a name on a Star Trek name generator back when I was way into fandom and needed a character.

LostSurprise Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 There's a line from a John Prine song. "I put your mind on a brief vacation, to the Land of the Lost Surprise." I thought it was a lovely metaphor so I re-purposed it when I was looking for a blog name (My blog is The Land of the Lost Surprise). It seems like having children is a process of re-living and learning things from their viewpoint. It's like returning to a time of constant surprise. Anyway, when I came here my usual handles were used so I truncated my blog title. It has a nice ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mama Anna Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Mine is what people called me when we were still over in East Africa. When you have a child there, you sort of meld your identity into motherhood and become known as "Mama _________," with the name of your child filling the blank. I know - all that melding stuff sounds sort of odd, huh?:D Funny thing is, we're around a bunch of East African refugees here and they follow that tradition. But I'm not Mama Anna to them because they originally confused the names of our oldest two daughters - they call me by dd4's name. (It's really confusing for new people when we introduce them to the girls!!) I'm not sure they know my actual first name. Mama Anna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EppieJ Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Okay, so when dh and I started talking kids, I told him there was a potential for twins due to my family history.

Ds came along and I took on the EppieJ moniker just for kicks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgehogs4 Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 When my son was little and still watching Clifford the Big Red Dog, he thought that Cleo's hedgehog dog toy was hilarious, and he starting calling everyone "hedgehog," which we thought was hilarious. Then we discovered Jan Brett books and discovered that many of them have hedgehogs in the illustrations, even when the story is not about hedgehogs (she's a huge fan of the little critters) and so we collected all her books. Then the kids started collecting stuffed hedgehogs, and we have one to represent each family member. So...we are hedgehogs4...they are kind of like our family mascot.
