I've seen quite a few different user names around here. I really like the ones lately that are more 'inspirational'. Like each time they log in and type their user name, they're reminded of their goal. It's really cool.
Mine was really random. I just came up with it out of nowhere when I started here like two years ago. I ended up quiting because of stress. When I came back, I kept the name.

How did you come up wiht yours?

    I totally see how that could be mistaken for Leandrea D, lol. But that's cool, what it actually means. :)

    Mine's the screen name I use on pretty much everything (named after the car I drive).
  • My name is Mia, and I am redefining myself - mind, body and spirit. I'm becoming a Brand New Mia :laugh:

    Ok, I can't take credit for (what I think of as) my absolutely awesome user name. I posted on Facebook that I wanted to start a blog about my journey to a healthier me, and a friend suggested this as the title of it. It's become my mantra!
  • My favorite tattoo is of a phoenix on my hand that has one tear being cried out with the Deathly Hallows symbol in it. I'm a HUUUUGE Harry Potter fan. It's my email address but "phoenixtears" was taken, so I misspelled it.

    There was a kids programme in the 80's called chorlton and the wheelies. Fenella was a witch who lived in a giant kettle with a talking book call baron Von spilldebeanz and her aim in lufe was to make life miserable for chorlton and the other wheelies.

    I want to live in a kettle

    A couple of years ago my girlfriend and I were watching an old episode of "Cops" and this police officer went tearing across a park screaming "Crossfire!" and I thought it was hilarious, sort of stuck as a nickname......and I was born in 1977! :)

    I have such a hard time w/user names. I originally started with jennylynn94, which is what I use for almost everything, but I'm kind of tired of it. So, again I tried come up with something different...ugggh!

    My name is Jen, born in Nov. of '74, which people born in the late 60's to 70's they call generation "x".....so JenX1174. :wink:
