    Ok,,, Beauregard Shields.

    I was using "Middle name + Street you grew up on".

    My dog could be a pornstar,,, his thingie drags the ground (basset hound). :laugh:


    HAHAHAHA :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: I think I just peed in my pants.... seriously you crack me up!


    Kick Like A Girl---- I played softball growing up, and I was a pitcher...so my family would say I "threw like a girl". Then, during college I really got into kickboxing and my boyfriend (who is now my husband) would say I "kicked like a girl". THEN, this past year I went to a motivational meeting called "Kick Like a Girl", with a little girl who played soccer with the boys, and how she worked harder to be able to play with them & against them. Made me think of my fitness goals-- I want to work hard to be able to do the things people said I would never be able to.

    Many many years ago I needed a screen name for AOL. My son was about 4 (he is 16 now). I was trying to come up with something so I jokingly asked him what I should use. He said "batman!" I said well, I'm not a man, I'ma girl. So he said "batgirl!" But Batgirl was already taken so I had to spell it Batgrr1. Later when I left AOL and needed a screen name for something else, I decided to add the "R" in to make Bratgrr1. People call me brat and I like it. :)

    Mine is currently first initial, last name.

    But I used to always go by bassbonebabe = my instrument is bass trombone and the first four letters of my maiden name is babe (plus you don't find to many female bass trombone players around ;-) )
    I played Bass Trombone... wasnt a fan, I also played bass tuba and i LOVED it!

    Wasn't a fan! J/K It isn't for everyone. Especially if you aren't playing in fun groups like big band or something, just concert band with whole notes. Tuba is fun, but I have to think while I play it. Darn Valves ;-) But on the plus side, I still play my bass bone and it burns a lot of calories :happy:


    I think mostly I wasnt a fan because my band teacher made me switch from my beloved tuba because she decided it would be too big for me to play in marching band (not that I had any desire to do marching band but she was suuuure I'd change my mind) so she made me switch... so maybe i would have loved the bass trombone more if it was my choice to play it :)

    :smokin:

    I totally fail on the porn star name: Smith 118th... I moved around a lot later in my childhood but even those streets werent good: Country Club or Barton... Smith Barton?? although if I use the dog name I guess Sophie Barton isnt too bad...

    Long time ago I needed a name for a game site (pogo.com) and didn't want anything raunchy...I have always shelties and the one I had at the time was called Roger...

    As for the porno name, it would only work if I was a man or a super hero.....wait for it......Turbo Powers!!

    My family gives me a hard time for having two kids while I was young, not being married and they tease me. Didn't help that all our names start with J. So they started to call me J to the power of 3 (doesn't type right, but you get the point) J3.

    So my screen name is me plus 2 kiddos. The joke just kinda stuck. Jenn and her monsters. I'm not a me I'm a we, cuz if I go someplace the kids are going also.

    Fun post!

    I'm 1/4 Cherokee, my poppop was a full-blood that married my white grandmother, I go to powwows frequently and speak some of the Cherokee language. I'm fascinated by native history and my heritage. Around 6 years ago I started going by "Cherokeebabe" on various internet things. Just kinda stayed with me as a standby screenie.

    There are some epic screen names here,,, my faves:

    "Panic at the buffet"and "Will pillage your village for food"

    I also really like BrendaLee (The gal and the name). But I always wind up with some damn catchy tune stuck in me head. "Put another nickel in - in the Nickel-O-deon,,,,,, "Boppin' around, the christmas tree..." :bigsmile:

    I'm thinking of changing mine to my pornstar name,,, Wayne Shields. :glasses:
    Porn star name = your dogs name + the street you grew up on. :tongue: I don't remember where I heard that, but it always creates some good laughs when people start sharing their names. :laugh:

    Callie Garfield? Hmm... Not so sure about that one. Sounds more like someone that ate a very fat orange tabbie. :huh:

    Oh yeah.. guess I could actually respond to the original post! LOL!!!! Mine is as obvious as it looks - Mother Love x2. :heart: :heart: :love: :love:

    Well I have always loved the word Serendipity which is the effect by which one accidentally stumbles upon something fortunate, especially while looking for something entirely unrelated. So I purposely misspelled it to include my name... Sara :bigsmile:

    CMW = My initials.

    But most places require a username longer than three characters, so I added the 72 long ago.

    The 72 comes from my love of texas hold'em ... seven / deuce non-suited being the worst possible starting hand.

    This is so much fun :happy:
    I speak french, and my two kids watch a tv show (that I love too :blushing: ) called "Cornemuse". The cast is composed of animals played by real people and the make-up and costumes are amazing. Raphi is a little female raccoon in that show. I used it for a while. Sometimes, I need a longer one, so I extend it to Raphinette :wink:

    My great grandma (whom I never had the pleasure of knowing) was 1/4 Cherokee. I have a _teensy_ bit of Cherokee in me (1/32). Mostly -- I'm your typical "mutt": English, Irish, Scottish, French, Dutch, German, Cherokee, and possibly (according to some relatives) other American Indian blood (Powhatan and Comanche, to be precise).

    English/Irish are predominant, if my mother's genealogical research is accurate.

    My friend and I were just talking about how creative so many of the screen names are on here and how we both need to change ours. I was thinking SittinOnTheCouchEatinCandy, but that may be too long :laugh:

    My nick name (since I was about 6 months old and my sister couldn't say Catherine) is Kiff and I love pooh bear. Back in 1995 when I got aol I needed a screen name and Kiff was already taken so it became KiffyPooh. Kiff for the nick name sweetened up a bit, and pooh because of my love for pooh bear and because it sounds like a term of endearment to me.

    back when my best friend was a lovely guy in virginia, and I'm in the UK, when we spoke on the phone and I had not long woken up, (or drank a can of redbull apparently) he couldn't understand a word I was saying and used to call me mushmouth. It works well because I do mumble a lot, and seem to stuff lots of mush in my mouth.... hmmm

    Way back when in my grade 11 history class we had to do some projects on WWI and I drew the Schlieffen Plan. I had a good time doing the project, and enjoyed the name so I've been using it for screen names ever since.
