I'd like to know the reason behind the names that each of us have here on MFP. It'd be fun to know the story behind some of the more interesting ones. :)


Mine's the title of a book I wrote.


What's behind your name?

    For truck driving? That's cool. Now suppose you were driving the truck for a zoo, with white tigers in it...

    You put in text, and it runs it through Google translate - from English to Arabic, back to English, to Bulgarian, back to English, and so on through 30 different languages. By the time it is done it's usually unrecognizable and often pretty funny.

    Actually I just checked and they use Bing instead of Google now. I got a whole different name this time: Queen Shabomiers.

    Mine is the "internet" name I use for everything! My name is Meg and 7399...well that is an inside joke from back in HS. See, back in the day before everyone had these fancy iPhones, my friends and I were the super cool group of pager users! Instead of entering in my home number everytime I paged my BFF I entered 7399 (which spells SEXY on the telephone keypad). She knew who SEXY was and knew who to call! It kinda always stuck!
