Just curious, I thought it would be fun to know...

I already know the story behind PBF's.

Anybody else want to play? I'll go first.

I love Tinkerbell and I've always called Sarah (my dd) "jellybean" or "the bean" for short. So put them together and you get...TinkerBean!:goodvibes

Ok, whose next...

My first trip report was called "Babes in Toyland" a play on the fact it was a Christmas trip for my neighbor and myself (the babes). So, instead of the LindaB I was on the (now defunct) Reader's Clubhouse, I became LindaBabe on the Dis.

Great question, Tinkerbean!

Y'all have good stories for your usernames. I don't really have a story behind mine. I couldn't think of anything that wasn't already in use so decided since this was a Disney board that I'd just say what I felt so it became "DisneyIsTerrific"!!

When I joined 11 yrs ago, there were so many choices for usernames - we know how much I love WDW, so the name came naturally.

I used to use my first name/last initial as my username, then I decided that was too boring.
I'm not really creative, and I was trying to come up with something to use (this was for another message board, before I found the Dis). My first DS was only a couple months old, sitting in his bouncy seat beside me. I looked at him and his huge, bright blue eyes, and that's pretty much where I got it. I originally tried a different version of it, but it was taken on that site.

But I was "creative" with my email addy years ago, and now I HATE to tell it to people. So I figured...K.I.S.S. this time...Keep It Simple Stupid...

Mine is pretty easy to figure out.

It's the mice from the Rescuers, my all time favorite Disney movie. I used to dream I was Penny.

And DH can post as Bernard when need be.

I like this thread! Mine is sooooo lame. I was a lurker for a long time on the theme parks board. I finally decided to post a question, so I needed a user name. I didn't realize at the time how important a user name can be. So I just typed in 123 and then my initials SAB. Ummm...I'm just not really sure what happened to the B.

Welcome to my world. DH is pretty much in DC all the time now. Or in countries I'm not allowed to know about. LOL

Yep, I am headed down. We have 22 DIS'ers this year.
When are you headed down? I'll be arriving around noon the 25th.

05-09-2010, 08:18 PM
Mine is BORING it's 1 of my horses name. the one horse I could have used that I'd had on and off since I was 16 no one would have enjoyed typing so I used the simple one. Thus I became Joyah she's my indian pony, closest thing my trainer has ever seen to a true one. now that I'm no longer riding ( flying is fun landing stinks) I really should find a new name but she's my 1100 pound puppy dog.

Many years ago when I first joined the dis I was tiggereeyore which were the boys favs.

A combination of two of the nicknames I had been given by friends - I can't decide which one to go by, but I always turn my head when somebody calls out Red, so that's the one I put first

plus my lucky number :goodvibes:

05-09-2010, 09:31 PM
I used to collect Ty products (BEARS) and needed a name on the TY boards. I am a photographer by trade (but I own a motel now) and so I thought Photo and Bear together was good.

Once I started on here I added my nickname Sam.....Problem is I get confused as being a man and they think the BEAR thing is a form of Man on Man love.:eek:

This can be troublesome....LOL

So it's Photo for my love of Photography, Bear cause I used to collect bears and Sam for Samantha.

I love threads like this.

05-10-2010, 01:30 AM
When I started picking names to use online, I did a variation of my email for most sites, and then for Disney sites I used the Macca1111. The Macca is a nickname for Paul McCartney, whom I was really into at the time, and 11 is my lucky number. I believe Macca11 was taken on the first site (I think it was Disney online) so I just added a second eleven. Tada.

:rotfl:

I forget if I've told people mine before...

I originally had a different username, and I think I had two posts with that one, asking about how easy it was to take trips at the end of high school with friends (Lou, me, and two other people were planning a trip)

By the time that I wanted to log back in to ask about the College Program (my first time trying), I had forgotten the password to that old account, so I needed to make a new one. I wanted a Disney-related one this time, so I tried to think of one of my favorite movies that had a cute tagline (that wasn't already taken). Thus, I got ZeroToHero from Hercules.

Only later did I realize I could use it for one of my favorite characters, Zero from Nightmare Before Christmas, as well!

Mine is a little different. When "Lilo & Stitch" first came out, DH & I had just gone through a miscarriage that was very tough on us. The part where Stitch says, "This is my family. It's little and it's broken, but it's still good" was our motto for quite a while. Thus, when I got ready to pick a user name, I thought of that, and it became "Stitch Is Our Hero". DH (though he's not on a lot) is "StitchIsARedSoxFan". :thumbsup2

My name just comes from DH dancing...yes dancing around the house right before a trip chanting WE GO DISNEY!!! Over and over and over again. He's been doing it for years. And 04 is when we went on our Disneymoon :)

YoYoAurora
05-12-2010, 08:28 AM
I had a DISBoards account years ago and let it lapse. When I signed up again, I couldn't think of anything that wasn't already taken. So, I used a nickname one of my YoYo sisters sometimes called me, YoYo Aurora.

The YoYo comes from being a YoYo sister.

Aurora was my Dad's nickname for me. He had his Disney princesses, and I was Aurora or Sleeping Beauty, depending on his mood. My older sister is Cinderella or Cindy. My brothers are just happy that Dad didn't pin them with Disney nicknames.

While we were planning our first trip to Disney I would say every night to the kids " do you want to talk about Disney" or my kids would say "Lets talk about Disney" so I when I found the boards it seemed like the perfect name!

Hey, I like your first name! Although there was a hairy moment when Lou was flipping through my new phone, and came across your name in my contact list...

"hey! who's ______?"

"SHE's someone I scrapbook with!"

"Oh. Okay then."
