It was perfect because not only do I like to think I play a little sly but SLY are my intials for my hyphenated first and then last name......it was meant to be! :smile: Now if only I could win a big one!!!

    My names Caitlyn, in my first year of college my friends started calling me "forks" because I came from a small town in the middle of nowhere population: 500 people; they said it reminded them from the town in Twilight which was called Forks.
    I spiced it up a bit and changed the s to a z ;)

    Thanks for sharing, I love reading all the stories.

    Ladies, word of caution: there are creepers on the forums who can use your full name to stalk you.
    You can change your username (once) to something more vague and safe.
    Keep your profile private and screen your friend requests carefully :smile:

    When I was pregnant with my first baby (now grown up) a woman in my office asked me what I was hoping for - I thought this question rather intrusive - so I replied umm well a baby hopefully a healthy one.

    She then asked me what I was was going to call it and I replied Mungo. Mungo stuck as the name for my bump until she was born.

    No I didn't call her Mungo, but since then I have used Mungo as a user ID on a couple of different sites. Here Mungo was taken so I added wungo because it rhymes with mungo.

    I use my first name for a lot of usernames because it's still unique enough that it's rarely ever taken. Fantasma is Spanish for spirit/ghost or phantom and I'm very much into Mexican folklore and traditions of death and dying, so it seemed like a good fit and I like the way it sounds together.

    My mom was going to name me Frankie but chose something far lamer...so I'm living vicariously. And a felinius is what my fiance and I call a cat...kind of play on the technical "family" name of cats.

    I used to have a different name but it is the same username as my YouTube, Instagram and whatnot and I kinda wanted the things I say (about overeating and failed dieting and the ilk) to not really be associated with those other forms of media.

    Balance because my biggest challenge in life is finding balance, and health and fitness are part of that equation. White balance, it's a randomish photography reference. I could probably make up some deeper meanings, but that's pretty much it.

    My username implies that I'm trying to lose weight and get healthier. I made it up on the spot and I think that it's pretty catchy. (it has a nice 'ring' to it) :D

    mine is cause my middle name is Raini so I just made it "a raini day" plus I have always been a huge fan of Eeyore (yes Winnie the Pooh) when I was a kid so it just worked out

    Well, my name is Jason... and I was once knighted by the self-proclaimed King of New York City, after I gave him a sleeping bag, a package of disposable razors, new shoes, and a coupon for a free meal at a local restaurant that I'd purchased earlier that day. Was there along with a few other friends, and I was feeling charitable so we gathered up some supplies and hit the streets doing a few good deeds. My friends teased me about it, but the monicker stuck... As for the 85, it was the year I was born, and my old hockey #.
