    I picked up the nickname moon growing up in Philly. Originally it was "moondoggie" which I got from a character in one of those 60's beach movies. But I grew tired of being called "dog" for short, so I shortened it to moon instead. One wild and crazy night at college, I gave myself and all of my friends Roman names. Mine became moonius maximus. The moonius moniker has just stuck with me since 1973. (BTW, it has nothing to do with "mooning" people!) :D

    I usually use Radii. That was taken, as was Radii21 which was my usual fallback, so I just added a 3'rd I.

    Radii - RAD are my initials and I'm the 2nd (named after an uncle). I came up with it in college when we had to create an ID for the CS department's servers. As a math nerd at an engineering school I thought the fact that my initials were also a term used in math was hilarious and clever :P

    Not very creative, Manda- Amanda, Jo- Jo, Cov- Covington is my name and 13 is the year my daughter was born. I normally just use MandaJoCov but had to add the 13. Another used, mainly for just my little family, is TheCovingtonThree (Instagram). As we only plan on having one child :blush:

    Edit: Grammar

    I'm pretty new to the group. Anapplefortheteacher is my username because I teach 4th grade, it reminds me to eat healthy snacks, and makes me feel better about my apple body type.

    I hate creating screen names so I just used a different spelling of my name and threw on my last initial.

    The "low" is because I play bass and carry the low end in a band. Jax is short for my last name. I'm not too creative. :smiley:

    Fun thread! I'm a gamer and when I created the name I did most of my gaming during the day (hence Daylite) and I mainly play first party shooter games. "mag" is a reference to magazine, as in a magazine that holds ammo and inserts into a gun. Presto: DayliteMag was born. I don't have a lot of time for gaming any more, but the screen name stuck. I actually have friends here on MFP that I game with and who I introduced to the site here.

    When I was LOTS younger my hair was "Reba red" as I grew older it turned darker and I was not crazy about it so... I turned it red again... thus Reblazed was born. I've since let it go back to natural (which is now white) but the name stayed on.

    I'm a visual designer, and CMYK stands for cyan, magenta, yellow and black used in the print process, and RGB stands for red, green and blue color spectrum used for web design.

    I'm little so when I was in college people would call me a munchkin, then it became queen of the munchkins and then changed to munchy or queen munchy.

    I was(technically still am) a Tony Stewart fan, although since the kids came along I don't have time to watch many NASCAR races anymore. Added the 33 because I had to add something and 3 is my fav number.

    Lilith is a biblical character, who was Adam's first wife, made out of dirt like Adam. The story goes she refused to bow to Adam per God's command, and instead pretty much walked out. She ended up the Queen of Hell, mother to all kinds of demons. I thought it was a nifty story. I added an extra "l" because people were asking me if I was a big fan of the Lilith Fair (not). 32 is my favorite number. Also, I was about 15 when I picked out that particular handle... it's been with me for a long time.

    Anyone need help with mine? :) Using my real name helps remind me to not make a donkey of myself on social media plus no one believes it is my real name.
