So...what does everyone's name mean

I was afraid of the toads which were abundant when I lived in Texas; they jumped everywhere I tried to walk. My ex-husband gave me the name.
That is so funny! When I first moved here the freaking grasshoppers were everywhere....You'd walk through the grass and thousands would hop up...I can't imagine toads like that!1 -
I am, quite unimaginably, a 53 Year Old White Male. Apologies for being so dull.

I am from and live in Mississippi, and may or may not be a southern belle ;-)

I left out an "iss" because that is how we say it down here.3 -
@missippibelle , after 30 years in The South, I'm learning. I live near Derm aka Durham. Fort Bragg is in Fayt vull aka Fayetteville and if someones asks me for a "pin" what they want is a "pen".0

@kpk54 Nothing like the south. Born and raised. You live near Durham. Only an hour and 10 minutes from me1

So as a native, you know the joke then. I'm a Damn Yankee because I came South and STAYED.

Come on now... Welcome the change...0

Yep, you are only a yankee if you come to visit ;-)
And for the record, "pin" and "pen" sound entirely different where I come from!

Never in a straight line. Which is SO me.1

My name is Sheena. When I first signed up for MFP years ago I had no idea there was a community and you could have "friends". Lol
Sh512266 was my log in handle for my university website so it was easy for me to remember and I put 0 thought into it. Haha! Wishing I had something better now!1 -

You can change it once. Only reason I know is I was complaining that I used my real name and someone told me. You get one free easy change. After that, I don't know.1 -
Mine is a handle I had to adopt when I signed up for my first email account. The combinations of my first name/last name and last name/first name were already taken in that domain so I went with the name of my then cat. Later on I realized it was a good thing because there was at the time a well known porn star with my same first and last name. Who knows what sort of correspondence I would have gotten?1

I answered this a long time ago, but it's well buried now.
Sunny comes from the nickname, Sunshine, my hubs calls me. Bunny because I freakin love bunnies! And squirrels, but Sunny Squirrel didn't have quite the same jingle...0 -
I am a momma to three kiddos I nicknamed my hubby "Bear" years ago when we first met and so by virtue of that fact I have baby bears.
... of which only two are pictured in my profile image, hahaha.
Poor third child....1 -
My username means I was too lazy to think of something clever. It's a truncated version of the MFP assigned default.

Here is mine revisted for any new folks who give a durn.
Well, I love to knit, and back in the early 2000's, I tried to make a go at a company selling my own handmade goods (knit, crochet, sewn, embroidered, etc. - there aren't many crafts I haven't tried!), and so I worked really hard to come up with a fun company name. So I joked that it would be "hit or miss" so there was born KnitOrMiss...
My personal nickname to which I always respond instinctively is Wench, which my biker fiance uses as a term of affection (considering all my RenFaire and Halloween costumes end up with a wench-y theme), but I didn't want to have to do a variation here.
All my other former user names were specific (WoodNymph3058 for Battletech, Lauranthalasa for AD&D, Notebook for GScouts, etc.) and I didn't really want to give away too many personal details, so KnitOrMiss it was.
It's a great conversation piece, plus I find that crafters tend to naturally gravitate toward each other...lol.0 -
I like glitter and one of my nicknames is Rayne 2

Anyone want to guess? Anyone??6

My mom had a cat that she nick-named Stella Fontinella. I started using a few years ago for gaming and it carried over here.

I'm Fungusgirl because I am an amateur mycologist. That's right! Just like the beloved Egon, I collect molds, spores and fungus. Always have since I was taught to make my first spore print as a child. 3

Finally decided to get around to changing my name on here so gone from kathrout1973 which is extremely boring (my name and birth year) to something a bit more fun - as I am doing meat (ZC) my son calls me a carnivore so my nickname on games we play together is carnivorekat -3

I had 2 Pomeranians and I started using the internet when I was 40.My dogs have passed away but I still love pomeranians 1

I always go wench for the RenFaire too.... I can finally get back into the red corest!1 -
I was in a hurry when I signed up to MFP so I used my initials. My name is Renee. 0

@FungusGirl, I keep meaning to attend the FungiFestival in my area, but somehow always seem to be scheduled for work on those nights and sleeping days. SUX! Experts lead field trips for ID and sustainable harvesting of wild edibles, cooking demos, great food, etc. Not that cheap but worth it. This was the 11th year, I have to book time off for next year's festival. I've picked my own puffballs, but of course, those & morels are the easiest to ID. Just listening to an interview last night about the author of 'The Horse Whisperer' who picked wild mushrooms with his family, cooked & ate them, and ended up hospitalized with kidney failure, and had to receive a transplant from a daughter who wasn't with them on the trip. Lucky man...
My dream mushroom below: LOL

That's awesome and I love the picture! Actually, they probably mistook Amanita Phalloides for paddy straw mushrooms. It happens, but once you know them, there's not much to worry about. Starting out, stay away from Amanitas if you're a newbie and know the Galerina! Others are great as medicine and for the plate-sooooo many! Morels are so yummy, though! I have a great Morel cream sauce recipe and a great wild mushroom wine sauce! Chanterelles are awesome also! :-)1
