BlsdMama Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 2 hours ago, Hilltopmom said: Yes, this. I pause when people ask me how many kids I have & never know quite how to answer. It’s tough. Our daughter was just a tiny baby when she passed - less painful, I’m sure. But we hear often, because we have 11, why not an even dozen surprisingly often. It’s fairly bittersweet and awkward, even 20 years later. 2 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elegantlion Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Yes, the name still fits. I have a huge mane of hair, the elegant part is tongue in cheek - I am so not elegant. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amethyst Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Yes. I think it was several years ago that some switch was made here, and we all had the opportunity to change our usernames (am I remembering that correctly?). Any way, at that time I realized that I wanted a name that would always fit me and couldn’t possibly change. On many websites, I have frequently used a username that referenced a place where we only lived a few years. So I chose my birthstone. That can’t possibly change right? Cuz I’ll always have been born in February. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drama Llama Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Now we need a post where we all explain our usernames. Because last week I learned that @hjffkj doesn't have six kids named Hildegarde, Jethro, Fiona, Francis, Kevin and Jed like I assumed. And this week I learned that mlktwins was not expressing either milk or her love of civil rights heroes, and that KungFuPanda is in fact not a panda. So, now, I'm wondering who else I am making inaccurate assumptions about. 5 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had a lot of people assume my youngest was a caboose surprise baby because it goes girl, boy, 5 year gap, boy. So my “surprisingly often” thing is that people assume we had a girl and a boy, were “done”, and then got a surprise caboose boy. Nope. There should be another daughter in that 5 year gap. 1 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terabith Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 I picked Terabith as a user name the first time I went on an IRC chat room back in 1994. At this point it feels as much like my name as my actual first and last names. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tap Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Yep, It used to be Tap, Tap, Tap but when they switched the board format years ago, we couldn't use commas anymore, so I shortened it. Tap#1- an abbreviated form of my childhood nickname Tap#2- one of my favorite things when rearing children. When you are holding a baby up to your chest, and you are patting thier back.....they pat your shoulder too. ((Swoon)) Tap#3- the Tap, tap, tap of the keyboard as I type. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 I changed mine a few years ago. Before that it was my original aol email (without the @ aol part) from the 90's since I tended to use that everywhere. I guess it's relevant, my name is still Dorothy. I used to hear "Where's Toto?" a lot in school. It was an awful name to have every year when they would show the Wizard of Oz on tv. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarlett Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Mine is just my WTM identity. I first heard of Gone with the Wind when I was in high school.

It isn’t a nickname that really stuck though. I wanted something that did not really identify me currently. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmasc Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Yes, mine does. Count me as another who reads @mlktwins as “milk twins” and assumed it had something to do with twins and milk/eating 😁 I mean, in my mind, I *knew* mlk could easily have an “i” in there if it was really milk, but my brain would stop there and just go right back to reading it “milk twins” soon after. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mommyto4 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Nope! When I joined the forum years ago, I thought for sure that we had completed our family with our four kids and were definitely done. I remember that when I picked my user name, there was a caution not to make a name with the number of kids as it could change. I remember laughing to myself at that -- knowing that for sure, we would have no more kids. Well, four years ago, we adopted my cousins two little ones -- now I am mommy to 6. 7 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheReader Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Not really. I mean, I created it when I had a run-in with a guy in an airport, who then tracked my email down and started sending me unwanted messages (DH was able to stop that, but it creeped me out). So, I went in and edited my blog at the time and gave us all nicknames based on interests (mostly which don't still hold). DH was/is The Chemist, I was/am The Reader, then the kids were The Writer, The Artist, and The Adventurer. I don't really read a ton these days, and it's certainly not my top hobby anymore, although I still do of course enjoy time with a good book. It's just not how I'd identify/describe myself these days. DH is still a chemist, more or less. The Writer is now........mostly doing other things, not writing. The Artist is now writing, mostly. The Adventurer has become quite a good artist and that's his current passion. (hmm, maybe then The Writer will return to his Adventurer roots....that would be a good path for him, if he'd just choose it). Before that I was Texas(MyName) and then Texan In Brazil. Those parts will always fit (I mean, I'm back in TX now, but Brazil is still with me). 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maize Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Corn farming is what my family did when I was small. It's what my grandpa did most of his life. Favorite memories from my childhood include making corncob dolls, selling corn from the back of a pickup, thinning rows of corn, sitting on grandpa's lap to drive the tractor while plowing, and lying on my back in the cornfield talking with my sister when our family was discussing leaving the farm and adventuring off into the world. It's an appropriate family symbol, and I like it. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Florida. Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Mine still fits though I didn't choose it. I was Floridamom for ages here which would still fit. I'm still in Florida and still a mom, though both ds and dss are adults. There's a member here who was trying to think of my screen name and couldn't but she knew it had something to do with Florida. She called me Lady Florida in a post - this was before you could tag members. I loved it (and her) so I changed from Floridamom to Lady Florida. It sounds regal though I'm anything but regal 😄 I'm still Floridamom on a few other social media sites. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
