Meaning of your user name???

[buzz for boys]

Just to prove that I have far too much time on my hands Im wondering if you can put me out of my misery and explain your usernames?? Are there any meanings behind them???
Some are obvious others intrigue me :rotfl:
Mine dates back to our first trip when we were travelling to find Buzz Lightyear for the boys !! DD wasnt even a twinkle in dh eyes then :rotfl2:

Must admit i kind of like it now !!

[hildasmuriel]

I have probably explained mine a few times but here goes....

The first message board I ever went on was a Coronation Street one and I have used the same username ever since.

Hilda Ogden was an old Corrie character who had a hideous mural on her wall that she was very proud of. She used to refer to is as her 'muriel'

Hence Hildasmuriel.

[Dimplenose]

I've explained mine a number of times too.

Back in 2002 I desperately wanted to know if our video camera would fit in the hotel safe and with a lot of surfing came across this site which seemed to be able to answer almost any WDW question possible.

In order to ask a specific question I needed to join the boards and to join the boards I needed a user name. I really, really, really wanted a Disney related name but obviously every time I came up with a name it was already in use by someone else. So I started to think of the more obscure characters and came up with Dimplenose.

It was only after I had joined up that I remembered that Dimplenose was the family nickname for Jane from the Tarzan films and would have no meaning to anyone else outside my immediate family.

But as I have said before, it didn't really matter what name I chose as I was only going to ask one question ...:rolleyes1

[thelittlemermaid83]

Mine is pretty obvious.

The Little Mermaid is my fave film and the year i was born was 83...hence thelittlemermaid83 so unorginial :lmao:

[Purseval]

This screen name was made for a site that specializes in discussions on handbags, a play on words.

[NeverlandClub23]

I picked mine because my very first trip to WDW we stayed at Poly and I was mesmerized by everything (I was 11). They had a separate building for their arcade and kid's club (Neverland Club) at that time and I remember playing at the arcade one day by myself and watching the kid's going into the Neverland Club side and wishing I was them :rolleyes::). Also, Peter Pan's Flight was one of my favorite rides.

I don't really know why I threw the number on the end though :confused3. I was 23 when I joined but I'm pretty sure just "NeverlandClub" wouldn't have been taken ;).

[manxtatt2]

[Pugsly]

I own a Pug (though his name is not Pugsly).

Simple minds, really ... ;)

[wideeyes]

Mine is after my daughter, when she was a new born she has really lovely large wide alert eyes and that everyone commented on. DBF set me up with a hotmail account when she was a couple of weeks old so I could sign up to free coupons such as pampers so I used wideeyes as my email address. When I signed up hear I just ended up using it again due to lack of imagination.

[wickesy]

Mine has been a nickname ever since I was at school - long before Eastenders nicked it. ;) I needed a username when I got my first ever Internet account and I have used it online ever since.

[Nubbedy]

Mine is the made-up name DH uses for me when I do something a bit daft (happens quite often, I'm afraid! :sad2:) It's kind of like calling me a 'numpty' but in his own unique way! :rolleyes: At least I know whatever forum I use it on, no-one will ever be using the same name!

[Head_in_the_clouds]

I wanted a username that reflected my personality and when I was a little girl my Mum, who is a very practical person, always used to get annoyed with me and say "Honestly, your head is in the clouds!", I was a bit like Belle, nose always in a book, always acting out stories, singing and dancing round the house and dreaming about fairies and using my imagination. As I've got older, I realise that just because my Mum isn't as much of a daydreamer as me doesn't mean that I'm a bad person or anything. I actually think "Head in the Clouds" is quite a lovely way to be and lots of great people (like Walt Disney:thumbsup2) and people I admire and aspire to be like were or are dreamers in some way :goodvibes.

[darthtatty]

I used to really collect tatties- the grey Me to you bears in Clintons and H samuel.
Thats how i got Tatty and Darth as my husband is obsessed with Star Wars :thumbsup2
I used to use Darthtatty on the tatty forums and kept it here, although these days id like something more Disney. :goodvibes

Ive thought about changing mine too so it includes my dd but its like losing youre identity and I cnt bring myself to do it !! :rotfl2:

[T16GEM]

Mine is my car number plate - exciting stuff eh! :lmao:

[Kirsteen]

My username is my name (how original am I? lol) as least I'll never forget my username (well almost never! lol).

[Lizzybear]

I've used lizzybear online for a long time now (though in the past few years i've noticed other people have been getting in on the act and i've had to add stuff to it, how very dare they! :rotfl:) I used to get called Lizzybeth as a nickname in school and i've always been a Care Bears fan (they're even part of one of my tattoos :)) so someone said it should be Lizzybear instead!

[karentan]

add me to the unoriginal crowd: mine is my maiden name

[hotfudgesundae]

I chose mine because I love the Hot Fudge Sundaes at Ghirardelli's at DTD (I am eating one of their chocotales as I am typing this.) :lovestruc

DH chose Epcot1stfave as EPCOT is his favourite park.:wave2:

[jjk]

mine is the first letters of my childrens names

[disneyangel]

Mine is a combination of my love :love: of all things Disney and part of my name -Angela - not very unique but very appropriate :thumbsup2 .I have it for a number of forums and accounts now and I kinda like it :cloud9:

[joolz1910]

What a fascinating thread.:thumbsup2 Mine is Joolz (a nickname I have instead of my real name which is Juliette) and 1910 is my birthdate (19th October) - not my birth year!!:rotfl:

[weswife]

This is an interesting idea!!!! Mine is easy! My DH 's name is Wesley thus Weswife! P.S. he has been my DH for 22 yrs.!!!

[Tinks1984]

Another boring one here, which I'm quite sad about now, wish I'd have thought more about it at the time, but couldn't think of anything quick enough, I just needed to talk to you guys :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

So, Tink = favourite Disney character (well, one of, I can't omit my Stitch and Tigger :love:)

And 1984 = my birth year :)

Simple really...

[Peebee]

Great thread. I've often seen what has looked like a really inventive username and wondered what the reason was behind it.

In my case...nothing more interesting that my initials, i'm afraid. Years ago I started working in an office which had a number of 'Paul's and the nickname just stuck since then :)

Paul

[Muscateer]

I chose mine as I live in Muscat and had thought of Mouseketeer so went for Muscateer. I didn't know at the time of when you joined DIS that you was a Mouseketeer earning your ears. :goodvibes

[wicket2005]

I thought the Ewoks in Return of the Jedi were cute, the main one is called Warwick Wicket and as they had just released the digital version of Star Wars at the pictures, and I needed a user name Wicket was adopted. On this forum added the 2005 as this was the year I joined.

Youres has intrigued me for ages Wicket!!:rotfl:

[Dimplenose]

It interesting to read the real reason behind names - I'm afraid I just jump to conclusions.

I though Darthtatty was to do with the Mr Potato Head toy.:flower3:

And some I just misread altogether. (Goofyish will always be GoofyFish to me.)

As for using 1984 because it's your date of birth - nooooo, that's far too young.:rotfl:

[joolz1910]

That's what I thought too.

I always read Wayneg as 'Wayne EGG' and I didn't get Bolanette for ages - I thought it might be her real name 'Annette';) - didn't make the link with Marc Bolan at all.:confused3
I've always wondered about Hildasmuriel, so I'm glad I know what that means now.

[natalielongstaff]

I always read Wayneg as 'Wayne EGG' .

so do i !!

My user name is self explanatory i think ;)

[Pegasus928]

The name Pegasus comes from my Army days. 928 was the last 3 digits of my Army number.

Then to complicate things a little Kenny isn't my real name. This is also a nickname from my Army days. These days my Mum is the only one who uses my real name :thumbsup2

[PoppyAnna]

Mine is boring - my DD's names put together. Anna and Poppy. It's amazing how many people address me on the DIS as Pollyanna :lmao: Just like others, I guess we "see" the name as something different if it's more familiar. I also "see" Waynegg and GoofyFish.......

[joolz1910]

I get it! I get it!:lmao::lmao::lmao:

Bingsingswaltdisney - translated to 'Bing Sings, Walt Disney (Bing Crosby sings but Walt does not 'disnae / does not' in a Scottish accent)

I was trying to say it in a Scottish accent over and over again. :rotfl:

When I moved to this house (22 years ago now) I thought the house opposite had a very exotic name, maybe named after a tropical island or romantic holiday place. It was called "Tengee" it was only years later when it was sold and the new owners replaced the sign I realised it was just the house number "10G".

Jonjo is my nick name from my student days its a short version of my name Jonathan Jones - Jon from Jonathan and Jo from Jones.

It came about as you could only use eight character file names in computing at the time so all my computer files were saved as Jonjo001 ect.

Anyway how long till summer??

[Pegasus928]

My real name has been floated aorund on this forum a couple of times - mostly by my sister in my latest pre-trip report, and she got a very stern ticking off for using it.

So for those that asked my real name is Marcus. Not exactly a revelation on the scale of "And the winner of X Factor 2009 is .........................." but there you have it.

Sorry Louise. We could have set up a premium rate phone line and paid for our next holidays :rotfl2:

Just to add to my 'name list' when I was younger all my mates outside of school used to call me Sucky (Marcus backwards is Sucram - shortened = Sucky)
However when I was at school I was known as Trenchy. This is because I had a double barrelled name (Nicholls-Trench). I dropped the Trench when I joined the Army though - on the advise of the guys in the careers office. Can't think why though :lmao:
