    My grandfather used to play with words. Instead of saying "bowl of cereal" he would say "sowl of bereal." My name is Brandy Leigh, he called me Landy Breigh. :smiley:

    Kitten is something of a nickname.
    -ful is an addition that made it unique without adding numbers.

    I wanted to pick "marjorie stewart-baxter", beacuse she's Salad Fingers' "best friend" in the creepy series, but it was reserved. So Salad Fingers says to her one time: "You taste like sunshine dust!" What a sentence I thought - so that's how my name came from :) If you don't know the Salad Fingers series and would like your brain just blow off from grotesque scenes, here is the ominous piece of the series where marjorier is introduced: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuCw5k-Lph0

    because I want to go from "fat to fit", "fritch" is the first part of my last name, and 26 is my lucky number

    Mine might seem obvious, but I chose it with a reason. I had spent years hiding from my weight (as if that is possible) and I decided to really OWN who I was and my struggle with food and exercise. (As well as with my self esteem and feeling invisible.)

    My username is the same as my twitter handle because I'm lazy. And snarky. So it all works.

    irejuvenateme - I am the one that is responsible for rejuvenating me, noone else - and even though it's my picture and I have been open about my real name, it feels more interesting than just using my name as my id (I did that last time around on MFP)

    Earl the Gray and Abby the Tabby were the first cats I ever got and they were the ones I had when I got my first computer so that has been my username for a long time.

    I've been using this nickname for a while. It's based on a concept album by Roger Waters called "Amused to Death" and a monkey was one of the prominent personalities. The album talks about how media alters our perception of reality, which is one of the topics I feel strongly about.

    Brother Bill is what people call me IRL because I organize and coordinate volunteers for home repair projects to help people who are in need due to someone in the home being seriously ill, sometimes terminal. 913 is my area code.

    I like Steely Dan and it was the album title of Donald Fagan's first solo album

    I had this username for years on another site.

    Blue and purple are my favorite colors.

    I speak Spanish more than English in my real life.

    All of the best people have the number "6" in their username. :) No, it's actually just a random number that I like.

    TheVirgoddess Posts: 4,535 Member
    I've had mine for a really long time - it's my gamertag, used to be my twitter, my instagram, etc.

    I'm a Virgo and add goddess, and there you go.

    I'm trying to move away from the username because of a creepy stalker dude, so I'll likely be changing it at some point soon.

    I used a random name generator because I was tired of trying to think of something that hadn't already been taken.

    I used to be a sysop on a bbs and the owner told us we could set up an alternate "don't ask me stupid questions when all I want to do is chat or play games" username. I'm a huge Beatles fan and the obvious name (Beatlemaniac) was already taken so I scoured my cds to find what would sound good.

    I liked the sound of Glass Onion. A friend online started calling me Glassyo because it sounded like Jackie O and he's weird and funny like that and it just stuck. I use it for pretty much everything now online. I don't even know what I would change my name to if I ever had the urge!

    i thought you could only change it once? i dont remember what my original name was, then i changed it to this one, which was my facebook 'last name' for a long time (and very true of me), then facebook made me change it cause someone reported me, so now im stuck with this here. on facebook my last name (i refuse to use my real one due to a stalker issue i had years ago) is a combination of my married and maiden names. very few people realize that (well, people who have known me forever do LOL)
