Why did you choose your username?

[lllGurulll]

Not sure if someone as already done this but I thought it would be interesting to see why people chose the name they did.

I am a huge Kansas City Chiefs fan so I started out as kcchiefsguru years ago and found many people just calling me Guru and that stuck. Now I use it on every board I am on. At least some iteration of it. Guru lllGurulll lll Guru lll xXGuruXx and so on.

Odds are, if you see that name, it's most likely me.

 

[A_Princess'_Daddy]

I think my name, A_Princess'_Daddy, is pretty self-explanatory.

My life revolves around my entire family, but my DD6 is the light of my life in that special father-daughter way that I never understood until the minute she was born and stole my heart forever.

 

[lakelandgal70]

Mine isn't original at all. I live in Lakeland, I am a gal and I was born in 70. lol

 

[Conservative Hippie]

I started using the Dis when I was also posting on political forums by this name, so I just used the same one. It came about when I was talking to a friend on the phone, I said I was at Whole Foods, then I was going to yoga class and then a Bible study and she said "Your a hippie, but your a conservative hippie."

 

[Aisling]

It's my name. I couldn't think of anything creative back in 2002. Now I wish I named myself something cute like Glittering Aurora.

 

[TheColtonsMom]

When we first moved to the town we currently live in there were two other Colton's near my son's age. When I first met the mother of one of the Other Coltons she said oh You are "The New Colton's Mom" my son totally missed the word new and decided if I was "The Coltons Mom" he was "The Colton" It just stuck.

 

[SandrA9810]

I didn't feel like being creative or anonymous about who I was
9810 comes from my first phone line that got me on the internet. 681-9801. I do use another name to stay hidden years ago on another board, but not anymore

 

[delovely]

Mine has nothing to do with the movie or Cole Porter song. I love the word lovely, and it sounds feminine and old fashioned. Two things that describe me. Delovely is another nice way of putting it.

 

[Handbag Lady]

I am Ursula elsewhere, but when I signed on here, it was taken.


So, I went for my other passion, which is collecting unique handbags. My husband hates my name here but I can't change it now.

 

[TheBigBadWolf]

I wanted a Disney name but all of the good ones were already taken. The Big Bad Wolf is a Disney character, and the only one I could find that wasn't already in use. Besides that, wolves have always been my favorite animals. I probably wouldn't use the name if I had it to do over.

 

[PollyannaMom]

Mine's pretty east. One of my favorite Disney movies is Pollyanna, and I'm a Mom.

 

[AnnieEMT]

Mine's pretty boring - I was obviously not in creative mode last month! Just my name & what I do

 

[MushyMushy]

Mine is my nickname from high school that ended up sticking when my husband and I got married. I also go by Marseeya, another nickname from when I was young.

Both names are pretty well used online, so if you look them up, they may or may not be me. I've found that out the hard way.

 

[FlightlessDuck]

Ever watch Mickey's Philharmagic. During the Alladin scene, Donald needs a flying carpet to fly.

BUT HE'S A DUCK!

 

[h2oophelia]

I picked this one back in college. I was majoring in theatre. Ophelia is from Hamlet and she drowns...thus the h2o.

 

[Harley Quinn]

I'm a huge comic book fan and was joining a film website and wanted something cool I love Harley Quinn from Batman so picked it, it's my name on several other sites as well.

I used it on a dating site and that's how I met my DBF he loved my screen name sent me a message and 18 months later here we are.

I also get called Harley, Harls and HQ in my real life as well now.

 

[Jeafl]

Mine is actually all of my initials. First, middle, confirmation name, maiden name and my last name.

A LOT of people think I am "Jean from FL", but it doesn't bother me in the least. I answer to pretty much anything.

 

[njmom47]

Someone told me about this forum, and when I joined, I obviously had no imagination. I am technically now NJMom50!!
I would be TinkerLily if I could change it though!

 

[Momvic5]

My youngest son who was about 5 years old at the time gave me the name. I needed a username for a game he wanted me to play with him. I let him set up my account on that particular game, and he created my username. I have just continued to use it.

 

[Soldier's*Sweeties]

Well I chose mine right about the time that my husband enlisted. I was(and still AM) so proud of him and really INTO being a soldier's wife(not so much now...LOVE the DH...DO NOT love the Army). And I wanted to somehow include my kids, so this is what I came up with.
