How'd you pick your DIS name?

[Ron from Michigan]

My name is Ron and I am from Michigan thus Ron from Michigan.

 

[dogodisney]

My daughter is named Ariel (we thought it was a pretty name and knew nothing about the Little Mermaid at the time). I am MerMom60-94 because Mer is short for mermaid + Mom because I am her Mom and 60 is the year I was born and 94 is the year she was born. Cute story - when she was a toddler I used to ask her "if Mindy is a dog and Wally is a cat, what are you?" and she used to tell me "I'm a mermaid!!" LOL. I would try to tell her she was a person but she would insist I was wrong.

I like her answer better.

 

[tiggerbell]

My 2 favorite characters at the time I signed up were Tigger and Tinkerbell... thus tiggerbell!!!

NOW, it's have a Captain and a Jack and a Sparrow and probably some rum in it!

 

[TrulyMadlyDisney]

My screen names are not creative, but more opportunistic.
When I was registering, the song Truly Madly Deeply by Savage Garden came on. I thought TrulyMadlyDisney pretty much described me. It just fit.
On another site I am Icetea, cuz you guessed it, I was drinking icetea at the time.

 

[totallymickey]

Its convenient that my last name is pronounced totally (Toedtli) so it is easy to add whatever to the end of it. Totally awesome, totally mickey!

 

[Alztybrn]

Mine is the license plate for Al in Toy Story 2...Alztybrn - Al's Toy Barn

 

[TTAunload]

TTAunload = my favorite position to work while I was there.

 

[NanaDarling]

My grandchildren call me Nana, so I wanted to use that as a starting point. The only Disney character named Nana that came to mind was the Darling family's sheepdog in Peter Pan. That's how I became NanaDarling.

 

[FireDancer]

I like DMB, I like Disney, hence the screen name and avatar.

 

[D-La]

HEYYYY cool!
Lovin the podcast that the DF downloads! Now I feel like I can be a part of the party! (Boy I hope I do this right!)

Okay, my name is actually a nickname given to me by the DJ I work with (Yes, I'm on the Radio) It's sort of a contraction of my full name, and it was inspired by J-Lo.

Incidentally, can't wait for my Honeymoon! DISNEY ALL THE WAY! BOO YAAHHH!

[bytheblood]

Some of these are very creative.

My title comes from my faith really. By the shed blood of Jesus Christ I received salvation, so I put it together and got bytheblood.

 

[mla973]

Mine is fairly simple: initials and wedding anniversary (Sept 7, 2003).

We had a planned ceremony at a Sandals Resort in Ocho Rios, Jamaica for Sept 6, 2003 (hoping DH would never forget future anniversaries with 09/06/03 as the date). The tail end of a hurricane came through, and we had to postpone our outdoor ceremony to the next day when the weather was clearer. So, apart from receiving a few engraved wedding gifts with the wrong date, all was good. We had beautiful, sunny weather for our wedding ceremony and photographs. Ironically, now I have the hardest time remembering the 09/07/03... so I put it in my DIS name to help me remember.

 

[aaronmckie]

Aaron McKie is actually a basketball player that I followed in college, which none of my friends and family understood. He turned into a pretty decent player in the NBA, and has been an inside joke for us for well over a decade.
I use this name for pretty much everything (real name is Jason, btw).

 

[EJKorvette]

I first thought it up back in 1995, when I needed a unique nick for dal.net and Undernet. I got tired of wrestling with the other people with my first name who were already on.

Some of you may recognize it as a now defunct department store chain from the Northeast. I chose it because it is similar to part of my whole real name, and because I spent a lot of time there buying the only worthwhile thing they carried, vinyl (what CDs used to be for you young'uns).

I also wanted to connect with people my age on irc from the Northeast, who would recognize it.

EJKorvette

For those of you keeping score, I used to go to the Korvette's in Flushing and near where Union Turnpike met the Cross-Island.

 

[kab407]

Y'Know, Kathy, I always thought you were referencing the Orlando area code, "407." How much sense does that make??

Kinda cool that your birthday is the first 3 digits of any phone call I make to WDW.....

I never made the connection till you mentioned it J-Kim. I'm usually dialing 800-DVC MS when ever I call Disney.

We had a Korvette's in the town I grew up in. You're right, the only thing it was good for was buying records.

 

[Explodo]

Explodo...Well, It's what I do for a living...I work for the DOD as an Analyst/Statistician. I figure out how to make the "BOOMS" bigger. When I first got out of grad school I was recruited to work on NBC weaponry...My Co-workers named me "Explodo" because I made the biggest "BOOMS" so to speak.

The Nickname has been with me for about 15 years.

 

[GenieCat]

The avatar came before the name. I love my two cats so this was an easy choice. The reference to "blowing on a horn" is a quote from Leota in the HM.

If I ever decide to change my user name, maybe I'll go with "Talula Does the Hula", since this poor child doesn't want it anymore:

[Sir-Mickey]

I used to work at Walt Disney World and most of the time the put me in the Fantasyland shop called Sir Mickey's

 

[wsushocker]

My DISboard name is from the university from which I graduated:
Wichita State University Shockers

 

[daneenm]

All of this creativity and all I could come up with was my first name and last initial. Since my name is unusual, it is typically not taken when I set up user names.
