    Real name is Stephen.

    Everyone assumes its Alec.

    This reminds me of a movie from the 80's "I know my first name is Steven" lol

    My name is Angela -just like many other women born in the mid Seventies.

    I was obsessed with the game Bioshock Infinite when I joined mfp, and one of the characters in that is an awesome giant, metal, steampunk-looking bird (named Songbird) which inspired my username. My real name is Laura.

    That's awesome! I appreciate the reasoning behind your username. Mine is pretty boring. First three letters are the first letter of my first, middle and last name and the numbers are the month, day and year I got married.

    My name is Chris, and I feel I've heard far too many times that "it's not the heat that gets you, it's the humidity" or some variation. I know it's the humidity that's the bad part. I know it's not so bad if it's a dry heat like in Colorado. I know you sweat more when it's humid outside and that makes it more uncomfortable. I find it more funny than annoying, though; I'm not that much of a grouch.

    So eventually this became sort of a joke between me and my friends, and now it's my screen name for a bunch of things because, well, why not?

    My real name is Karen. My middle name is Elizabeth. I have used my childish version of my middle name as a screen name many times but usually I prefer just Wizzy, but apparently when I signed up, Wizzy was taken. When I was little I always said my first and middle name (middle name after a pause) when people would ask me my name. My name is Karen. Wizzabeff. LOL

    My real name is pretty easy to guess...this is the second username I've had on here and I don't know why I stupidly changed it to my almost-full name. But now I can't change it again.

    (If you contact TPTB, they'll almost certainly let you change it...

    ...because having your real name (or something really close to it) as your username is generally known as a Very Bad Idea™. I'd start with a PM to Olivia.)



    Meanwhile, my real name is jofjltncb6. My parents had a sick sense of humor.

    Awesome! My middle name is Lee! I used to go by Lee in HS just to be different becuz well everyone and their mother is named Heather! I should have been named Brianna, according to my mother, which is the female version of my dad's name, Bryan, but at the last minute she switched it to Heather.

    Everyone has different reasonings behind their screen names and that's what makes it so cool!!
