Screen Name

[Dodie]

My screen name is Dodie because my name is Dodie.

I've been on the DIS forever (even before the 1999 date that shows in my profile - since we all had to reregister several times early on). It never ocurred to me way back then to try to come up with something clever, since my name itself is fairly uncommon.

 

[Willow1213]

I love this idea!

My real name is Abigail but everyone call me Abby (except at work - but its catching on there too)

My screen name comes from waaaay back when I got my first email address. I used to love Buffy the Vampire Slayer and my fave character was Willow. Then since willow was taken I had to add some numbers - so I added my age. I was one month away from being 13 so I put 1213 since I was in between. Stupid in retrospect, but hey, I was really young. I should just tell everyone its my birthday or something.

 

[Hpyhiker]

Well, my real name is Darrel.

My screen name is Hpyhiker. I picked it way back in the early 80's when file names were limited to 8 characters. It was actually an abbreviation for Happy Hiker. My two daughters, gotta luv them, insist that it really means Hippy Hiker. Well, I did a lot of "growing up" in the 60's....maybe they're right!

 

[DSNY4ever]

My real name is Leah.

I hate my screen name because it is so boring, but I have so many posts now I don't want to start again as a newbie. After lurking for a long time, when I finally decided to say something, I didn't have time to think of a clever name (something cute or funny including my favorite character or movie), I thought it had to be like a license plate or a pin code and include numbers and letters etc. So I went totally generic... Oh well- I will love Disney forever, and it's what's on the inside that counts right?

 

[maiziezoe]

My real name is Ann... but almost everyone calls me Annie. I actually like Annie more than Ann.

My screen name comes with a long story. I could give the Readers Digest version.... but.....

When I was pregnant with my DD-12, three ultra-sounds showed she was a boy. So, my then hubby and I picked out a boy name... Wolfgang. About two weeks before she was born, a friend asked me if I had picked out any girl names "just in case". I decided IF I had a girl and she had red hair, I would name her McKenzie.... IF I had a girl and she had blond hair, I would name her Maizie and if I had a girl and she had brown hair, she would be Zoe. I never thought in a million years I would have a girl after three boy untra-sounds...

SHE was born with red hair and became McKenzie but I still loved the names Maizie and Zoe so I named my cats Maizie and Zoe. Our cat Zoe is actually a boy but I didn't know that when I named him a girl cat name.

 

[disneymom8589]

The last 4 digits of my user name are the years my DD and DS were born.

My name is Kim...like many others on the boards!

 

[FairyGodmotherJen]

This is fun!

Ok, I'm Jen (yeah, I know). My "claim to fame" (sad, but true) was being cast as the Fairy Godmother in our version of Cinderella my jr. year of HS. I'd always liked the "godmothers" in the princess movies, anyway, but after that I tried to find things with the Fairy Godmother on it. Just for the record, there isn't much! Of course, FairyGodmotherJen is WAYYY too long, but as many others have said, I don't want to go back down to 0 in the post counts! I did try another board as "FGJen", but I don't even remember how to log in there, it's been so long!

Good to "meet" all of you...again, I guess!

 

[woodleygrrl]

Hi there! my real name is Jennifer and I live in Washington , D.C. I live in an area of town called Woodley Park. if you have ever visited the best city in the nation, it is the area of town where the National Zoo is. In fact, in the mornings, if the wind is blowing just right you can hear the monkeys "talking" to each other from our window.

The grrrl part is my homage to riot grrrl punk music from the early 90's.

 

[aspen37]

Hi my real name is Anna.
My screen name is very boring. Aspen is where I live and the 37 stands for the age I was when I set up the login name. So I'm now aspen37.

 

[safarihatguy]

Love this thread.

My name is Jon.

During our honeymoon at WDW I needed a hat and the only one I could find that would fit my head was a safari hat from Animal Kingdom. I have worn that hat for 10 years and purchased another for during our 10th anneversary trip last year. It has become part of me and part of my disney memories. That is why I am safarihatguy.

 

[SFBayDon]

Let’s see…..

A guy named Don lives in the San Francisco Bay Area

So

SFBayDon – Talk about uncreative.

 

[Stitchmistress]

My name is Sharon.

I knit. A LOT. There is a great knitting website called Ravelry. When I was picking my screen name, I asked my DD for help. She suggested "Stitchmaster", and I said, no I'm a girl, I'll use "Stitchmistress". I really liked it and use it as my screename for many different social networking websites.

 

[macman752]

Hi folks, I'm Dave

Another creative one here. It a combination of my computer of choice since 1992, my gender, birth month and year.

 

[mickeytattoo95]

Yes, I do have a tattoo of Mickey! I got it 14 years ago and it's on my back, not quite on my butt , but just below the belt line on one side. I love wearing a black bikini and you just see it over that. I know I sound like I'm trash with a tattoo on my butt, but it's very small and reminds me of the happiest place on earth.

The guy who did it drew it free hand! He should have been in animation. He was amazing. It lasted through 2 pregnancies and still looks great!

The only downside is when my 5 year old asks when she can get her own "sticker" that never washes off...hmm...should have thought about that back in college!

 

[wishspirit]

My name is Kate, and my name is pretty silly really! I chose Wishspirit when on a game site (a very long time ago, called neopets), anyway they had so many user names on that site, and I didn't want numbers after my name. So after a lot of brain ache, no one had this name, and it kind of stuck!

Slightly embarrassing!

 

[experiment_627]

My name is Candy.

I am a Stitch fan (don't hate me ), and since he is experiment 626, I became experiment_627.

 

[timmac]

I think I'm close to the top of the uncreative list. "Tim" is my first name, and "Mac" is a shortened version of my last name.

That said, it's also a handle I've used in many other places before I joined these boards, so it was easiest to just stay with what worked.

 

[jeanigor]

My name is Candy.

I am a Stitch fan (don't hate me ), and since he is experiment 626, I became experiment_627.

Don't worry. We won't hate you. Promise.

 

[BriarRosie]

I'm Lori, and yes, I have that in my signature. But that still doesn't stop people from calling me "Briar" or "Rosie".

Years back, when I had wanted to pick out an email address, I wanted to pick Briar Rose from "Sleeping Beauty" as my email address. But it was already taken, so I used this variation.

So I've been BriarRosie everywhere I've signed up on message boards.

Not embarrassing. DD still plays that game, and she's almost 17!
