i know many of you are sick of this poll, but there are a bunch of us "newbies" and a lot of you to get to know!! so, forgive me, but here i go.....


ok... i think my screen name is mostly an attempt at thinking positively... like living a charmed life. how can i stay depressed if i'm constantly saying i'm a Charmed_One??

HUGS!!

Vans is how I sign my name shorthand. I always loved vans shoes so I adapted my signature for notes like that. I've never asked to be called that but now the newer people I hang with call me Vans - which is better that the few old pals who call me Crazy V!

I do like to bowl under the moniker Gympy Styles cuz I'm a gimp/cripple. I play mini golf under Nester Pox.

Ok, so I'm not just a doctor, but I also do fire arts. (My Fire Gallery) I decided on my stage name at Burning Man 2001 when I wore a suit with electroluminescent glow-wire wrapped around it. It made me look like a lightning storm.

Lightning is a cool natural phenomenon, it's beautiful to watch and it's a natural light show.

I also put on light shows. I am a natural phenomenon, and I like to think that the art I do is beautiful to watch. Lightning is also just a cool name.

And so that's how I identify myself on boards.

At my age I need all the memory tricks to remember stuff. So.....use my real name and be ahead of the game

Well, for many years I have been called a princess, and not just any princess. My friends said that I was THEE Princess. So now as an adult I am known as Princess Michelle!!!

Bringing this thread out of retirement for any newbies to add their story... or just for anyone to reread the stories behind the names once again.

Bumping up this very old thread (original Cristina question for those who recall these questions)... it is very interesting to read through some of the Login Names and how they were choosen.

Add your story if you wish, or if up late one night and can not sleep, read and fall asleep

My real name is Clark Kent, a super name, but, i am fairly incompetent and a clot, thus an old english term came to mind 'Silly Billy' meaning an idiot, bozo (a nice one) or as the english might say, a Pratt.............thus a derivation of 'Silly'=Inept, 'Billy' = Will,

thus, the idiotic ineptwill

Cherkibbs
Cher comes from my first name Cheryl
Kibbs comes from my beloved cat named Kibbles that disappeared on Nov 30, 1998 and think he may have been killed by raccoons bec I've seen raccoons in the yard that week.

so hence CHERKIBBS! Cute, eh? LOL
My cat that I have now, his name is Jordan.

again,

i'm not very original, sue is short for my first name and i put in 22 as i thought there'd be lots of sues, susans, etc, but i think i'm about the only one. so even the number doesn't mean much besides its an easy number to remember.

i'm so original and creative, i've had pets with names such as Green Bird, Blue Bird, Gray Cat. When we got our current parrot, my husband and i tried to be really creative, but the only name we could agree on was Mookie.

so there's no hope for me.
