luvmydog2 Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 I have been wanting to start this thread for some time now. We had a lot of fun with this about 3 years ago when there were only about 500 members. There are now over 3000. How did you get your Username and what does it stand for? I'll go first. When I got my first computer and got on AOL, every name I could think of -except my name or initials- was already taken. While sitting there trying to get AOL set up my wife was playing with the dog. She told him that I just didn't care about him anymore,and that I had replaced him with my computer. My reply was "I love my dog too". That is when it dawned on me. I had my Username. I put the 2 to it to make it stand out. I have continued to use it now for 7 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnmynatt Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Bruce, That was very enlightening. No imagination with my username--I live in Tennessee (TN) and my last name is Mynatt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamataca Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 My husband came up with kamataca years ago, and I love it! It is all of our initials, strung together: Kelly A, Matt A, Taylor A, Chris A. Pretty smart! Kelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamasbabygirl Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 My mom has always called me her baby girl, always. To this very day... On one of our infamous girls roadtrips to Tennessee, we were having some fun with a trucker, we had CB radios, etc. and he was calling mom "mama". So, this name was perfect. It represents us, all of the fun we have had, and our awesome relationship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nushka Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Mine is a nickname (only one I have ever had) that my husband gave me while we were dating. I looked it up thinking it must mean something in Russian. It doesn't seem to mean anything but me. I have been Nushka for 17 years now. The strange thing about it is that when I go online I try to use if everywhere and I am surprised at how many other Nushkas there are out there.

Treebywater Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 There's a verse in Jeremiah about how a man who trusts in the Lord will be a tree by the water--who never fails to bear fruit even in dry times. And I decided I wanted to be a tree by the water. I'm only just a twig, so far, but I'm getting there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welthy Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 I do a lot of genealogical research, so I chose my 3rd Great-Grandmother's name because I thought it was a quaint old name. My real name is Deborah (Debi). (You didn't think anyone still names their kids Welthy anymore, did'ja? ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eppie Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 I am Eppie because my nephew (as the first grandchild in our family has the oportunity to rename everyone) could not say "Stephanie". I love my nickname and love that I am known as Eppie by those I love so very much. I love that ya'll know me as Eppie! It is also very easy to type...since I am a horrible typist. Much love, Eppie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
