What does your screen name stand for?

Okay, the answer is obvious for some folks who use their real name as their sign in name (or is it your real name?). But what about the not-so-obvious names? How did you come up with your name - what does it mean for you? I'm so curious I wonder what all these interesting screen names stand for...

Mine is pretty obvious. First name is Julie and one of my favorite books when I was in my pre-teens was "Julie of the Wolves" by Jean Craighead George. Since I am an adventurous outdoors person with a strong connection to the wild and animals it just fits me.

I can't wait to hear about yours! :wink:

    Icus( pronounced ick-us) is a nickname that my husband calls me, its from some cartoon show he used to watch when he was younger and the 1969 is the year I was born.

    I have a Boston Terrier that my son and I went and picked out when she was just days old. My son saved his money and helped pay for her. Her name is MollyMay, hence my screen name.

    We dont actually call her mollymay... we call her molly. MollyMay is her registered name.

    My middle daughter alway calls every body by their first name and then "May". That is how "may" got stuck on the end of "Molly"

    Mine is rather simple. Eve is my middle name. Not real original. In fact it fits me very little because I am ready for bed as soon as it is dark most nights. lol

    My name is just that - I've never been skinny. Over 9 pounds when I was born, butterball as a child, chubby teenager and an overweight adult. I've been battling this weight all my life. My mother and my siblings are on the skinny side, but I'm built just like dad, short and round. I've made more progress this last year than I ever have in my life, I'm almost there at my goal weight. I may have my first skinny (or healthy) day soon.

    (Obvious if you've read the book. :smile: ) Finally, an interesting thread!

    Mine is a variation on "Razbo" which was in turn an evolution from "Raistlin" back in the BBS days when there was no WWWeb to speak of. I'd just read the Dragonlance novels and had just then gotten a modem, so, being a n00b with no better ideas, I used that on the first BBS I ever connected to. I'm no longer certain exactly how it evolved to what it is and stuck to me. It's been a common screen name for me whenever it is not used for the last 15 years or so. Unfortunately, this site required a 6 character user name. :grumble:

    :tongue: the first three letters are my initials and the the last part was just what I wanted to do. Not very imaginative though. I thought julie's was very noble sounding.

    Wow - these are more diverse and interesting answers than I thought! :smile:

    Razboo - I never did the DandD thing (although many of my friends did), but I did just do a quick search on wikipedia and Raistlin seems like an interesting character to take an affinity too! Crazy how things stick..

    Mine is from my old job. Everyone was afraid of the boss except me. I worked directly for him and knew his bark was worse than his bite. Everytime someone wanted something ( were we getting a holiday off, leave early ect. ) they would make me ask him because they were worried he would yell at them. It was always " please ask him, he won't yell at you -you have to protect us denmother!" It just stuck!!

    Red Alee, Red because I took one of the brilliant red punker colours that wash out (sort of, my hair still has red in it several washes later) and did my hair. My daughter did her hair at the same time a brilliant blue.
    Alee is a duo of my first and second name, and the one I use when I paint or make art tiles.

    I have another name that I usually use online. I joined here and I just used my name.
    My screen name most places is Dame. It is short for Dame LuLu. I got the Dame from my son and the LuLu from my uncle when I was born.
    My uncle was 14 when I was born. He looked and me and said she’s a LuLu. The name stuck. Everyone called me that for years. As I got older it was shortened to Lew. To this day the people that I have known the longest call me Lew sometimes I run into people who knew me when I was a child and they still call me LuLu.
    My son gave me the name Dame when I was trying to figure out an email address. My son said since he was Sir. William that I could be Dame LuLu.
    I just thought I would share that with you since this question has come up…..and while I am typing I can’t eat lol
    Loretta (aka) Dame :flowerforyou:

    Mine, though obvious, has a reason. Every time I log in (a couple of times a day to keep me honest on calorie counts), I have to repeat the mantra.
