What's in a name?

What's the meaning or background of your username? I've seen some interesting ones and am curious where they come from.

Mine is totally BORING...my initials (cjs) and when that was already taken, I added my house number (216).

Amen to that!

I typed name after name and I just typed grannyshirl and it said OK. I was sick of trying to find one.
Our kids call me gram or grandma never granny!
I have always wished that I had switched names before I got so many posts!
This is the first board that I ever joined.

Mine is also a combination of my kids names and our last initial. Mom (of) RAchel (and) JUstin M. Silly, but I also tried combos and couldn't come up with anything better. It's grown on me though!

My name is Sabine and a little boy I used to keep almost 20 years ago had trouble pronouncing it. So he called me Sabingding, drop the "Sa" ... voila!

I have used this name since I had my last DD seven years ago. Its always been my screen name for every thing I do. I can't remember different names for everything we have on-line.

Mine is my three DDs first initial and then their birth months.

Mary
Rachel
Katie
11/November
11/november
8/ august

I think we have had this type of thread before on here. Most ppl though I was Mr. K or Mark!!

and NO these are not my kids real names!!!

For years and years my work included heavy cash handling, banks, currency exhanges, and casino. I use this one most places but for gaming I use Petey TKH (the killer hairball ) which is a joke between my sweetie and I.

Mine is from one of my favourite songs from Def Leppard. I use it almost everywhere or if it's taken I use ladystrangest.

Mine is just my last name. I kept putting things and everything was taken. Since there is only around 150 people in WORLD with my last name, I thought it was save that no one else on the board going to have, I was right!

Mine was more like my husbands, because everything I wanted was taken and I couldn't think of anything good.

He got Flipper because he flipped over a bus full of school kids with a dump truck he was driving (not his fault, the bus driver ran the stop sign).

The 113 was our old address because even Flipper was taken.

That's how I "sounded" it out, I guess, all in august. Children are usually the focus for things like that; hence, my deduction.

No, they were all taken to the hospital and released, DH was scarred as much as they were I think.

The town "laid him off" a couple weeks after that (it was a town dump truck) and said it had nothing to do with the accident, which wasn't his fault, but who knows.

Mine's halfway between The Beatles and Bob Dylan, and it's got to be at at least ten years old. It made sense at the time. Googling it says I'm cheap, and I like The Sims.

I wonder how some people here pick their alternate ego names in hopes others won't figure out who they really are. Anyone care to share?

The name I was always saving for a little boy (I know it's a girl's name too these days)

I ended up with 3 DD's -- wouldn't have it any other way!

Mine's pretty self-explanatory, too. I was having a ball lurking on this site and shopping up a storm while saving tons of money - hence... Newfun4me! That was in the days of drugstore.com, dunkin donuts coffee, amazon.com amazing toy deals, etc... It wasn't unusual for me to come home to 10 boxes on my front porch one day and 10 more the next day. So much fun!
