The story behind your screen name....

TannunisFred

I started a thread on my news line explaining how I had come up with Tannun as my user name. (it's from a character I used to play in Everquest an online game)

The response has been amazing.

I've had sweet stories like the Grandma who took the first 2 initials of her grandson and granddaughter to combine them and make her name.

The aunt who's niece spelled her name Anut one Xmas... so her name became A Nut *name*

There have been so many that also picked names from games we could form a guild and take over virtual worlds!

So what's your story... Funny, strange, weird, sweet...

Oh and we had one person who's name meant one thing, but the users in the thread came up with a better suggestion for what it should mean... Have you come across a username and thought it should stand for something, or wouldn't it be funny if it stood for this....

_John_

I baptized Jesus and then the name kind of stuck around to my generation.

TFG_em

It is sort of an inside joke between my sister and I. It is an acronym we use to describe our diet fails; it stands for Typical Fat Girl. If one of us eats an entire pizza for dinner --- total TFG moment. O, and my first name is Emily "em".

WranglerMichelle

It was my job title at the ranch where I worked, plus my name. For some reason, everybody back home thought the title "wrangler" was funny, so they'd tip imaginary cowboy hats and drawl "Wrangler Michelle!" at me like an Old West cowboy whenever they'd see me. They thought they were teasing me, but I actually loved it and use it as a screen name quite a bit.

beertrollruss

Mine is an anagram for my real name. I got it from playing around with anagram.com. Ironically, I'm not much of a drinker, especially now that I work out 4 days a week. Hopefully, no one thinks I'm a troll either, but I do like driving over bridges.
