DVC'ers....what does your screen name mean?

[Macnjac87]

Well, our last name is McMahon, and dh's nickname is Mac; my name is Jackie and my nickname is Jac, and we were married in 1987; hence Macnjac87!!

 

[buckylarue]

Mine's been my online name for a LONG time...since the early '80s, when we got our first Commodore 64 with a 300-baud modem and started logging on to local BBS systems. I was working nights at the time, so I watched a lot of late night television, particularly SNL and SCTV. The 'bucky' comes from Eddie Murphy's Buckwheat sketches on SNL, and the 'larue' from John Candy's character, Johnny LaRue, on SCTV!

 

[KCritter]

My brothers always called me Krispy Critter or Critter when I was a kid. I hated it, but when I needed a screen name for something else, Critter was the first thing that popped into my head. Plain old Critter was already taken, so I went with KCritter.

 

[LTGRAMPS]

LTGRAMPS : I am an on call Lieutenant of an Engine Co on the local fire dept and the oldest member of the dept. One night on a training drill, my wife brought a couple of the grandkids to watch the old man play with the fire trucks and they kept hollering "Gramp" It stuck with everyone on the dept and they started calling me gramps.

 

[oshun]

Mine is oshun because I live near and enjoy watching the Ocean.

 

[gmboy95]

My screen name is gmboy95....or Gameboy95....my family elects one person every year to provide entertainment through creative games, and group activities at any family function, starting with thanksgiving....My year was 1995, and my tenure was particularly memorable for all, so I was given the nickname Gameboy.

 

[one_cat]

I use one_cat for all my userids when I can get away with it. Makes remembering them easier. I first started using it when I needed a userid for an ISP - I looked around and saw our cat. At the time she was an only cat hence one_cat. The only drawback is that when I am giving out my e-mail address invariably the person will want to write/type 1Cat.

 

[Disney Duo]

When I was trying to come up with our screen name, I tried several but they were already taken. So, since my husband and I both love Disney and there were two of us..........I came up with Disney Duo!

 

[rbuzzotta]

Simple....it's my name!!! I have to keep all my logins the same or I'll lose track of them!! Someday I may become more creative!!!

 

[nuthut]

Nuthut is easy. Change the "Bolt" in my last name to "Nut" and change the "house" in my name to "hut".

Strange thing also-I work at a hardware store full of nuts and bolts and nutty people just like me!!

 

[BVC4us]

I wanted BWV but it was taken so I took part of Boardwalk BV and part of the vacation club C and it became BVC4us. (there are 4 of us and "for" us)

 

[DisneyMim]

Well the Disney part of mine is easy, I love Disney. Mim is what my kids call me. They started this because of the Mom thing, you know when you are someplace (Disney for example) and everyone is calling "MOM", and every woman within earshot turns. They started calling me Mim and the name just stuck. And yes, they call my husband Did. Soooo if any of you are ever at Disney and hear MIM, odds are it will be me!

 

[Raysplus1]

Ours comes from our last name Ray and we just had an addition to our family (our son ) when we came up with the name. inkbounc

 

[PixieDusting]

PixieDusting is also my AOL email acct. When aol added more letters into a screen name a couple of years ago I started fiddling around with variations of PixieDust (which was already taken) since Tink is my favorite character,and voila! It's very fitting since it seems that's I'm always dusting....LOL, and I like to think of myself as a Pixie!

 

[caveat lector]

My means, "let the reader beware." While I try to offer assistance, I can't always garanti the akkuracy of my enforemashion.

 

[maryp]

Mine's simple, I figure the world could always use one more Poppins!

 

[RONfromRI]

My is also quite simple. I chose it cause my first name is Sammy and I'm from Oregon.

 

[TrudyZ]

Not a lot of creativity in mine either. First name plus first initial of maiden name (Zedaker).

Hey, I'm an engineer, not an art major, what did you expect! ( AMI)

 

[downontheBW]

Back when I first thought of buying at BWV (at the point I realized it wasn't just rich people who owned), I heard the song "Under the Boardwalk" and made the connection. So when I was trying to think of a screen name for this forum, the song came to me. "Under the Boardwalk" wasn't appropriate but "Down on the Boardwalk" sounded OK.

Now I hear the song every once in a while on the oldies radio station and it reminds me of WDW. Nice!

 

[Scarlet]

This is a really fun thread!!! Mine is based on my life-long fascination with Scarlett O'Hara (Gone with the Wind). Also our dog's name is Scarlett (a black lab).
Had always hoped to get a 2nd one and name him Rhett!!!

Drusba......I, too, always wondered about your name...
I thought maybe it was Dr. something..... LOL
