    My old flatmate used to refer to me as 'That Dawn One' (he was a real charmer). I thought it was funny and used that as my username in a chatroom until someone jokingly rearranged the letters to spell Edna Whatnot. I've used it ever since :)

    Lemondiva - I adore lemons... anything lemony, sweet or savoury from lemon chicken or real lemonade to lemon meringue pie... my mouth waters just thinking of them...

    So when Julie Goodwin - Australian Masterchef winner, created in a challenge, cakes she called Lemon Divas a light went on!

    As soon as I heard the name I thought that's it - I am a Lemon Diva... hmmm food related too oh dear!!!!

    Mine isn't too interesting to anyone but me...however, back in 1992 I started playing a video game called "Everquest" and I created a girl woodelf warrior and named her "Iianae" (pronounced: Eee-Ah-Knee). Ever since then she's become my Username for just about everything and has been re-created over and over again subsequently in: Everquest 2 (EQ2) ; World of Warcraft ; Rift and now again in World of Warcraft.

    End of story :flowerforyou:

    tatertot is my daughter's nickname and fishstick is my son's... so it's what I use online. She was tatertot from the day she was born (not sure why)... it just stuck. Then we were pregnant with my son, she wanted him to have a nickname that matched hers, so she started calling him fishstick... and it stuck. We get the weirdest looks when someone asks his name in public and she chimes in "fishstick"....

    Hmmm... Here in Louisiana it's acceptable to be "larger than life", fat, or guys like to call it "THICK". I no longer want to be "Thicker than a Snicker" or in my case, "Thicky Mickey". When I get to the size I want to be I want to be Skinny Minnie :))

    It's a shorted version of a nickname my sister gave me as a child : caticalic. My first name is Cathy. How she came up with that? I have NO idea, but it's a great username because no one else would ever use it!

    Mine is a nickname from growing up. I always had a ton of chores in the summer. Growing up in northern Michigan, my main goal as a teenager was to get to the lake! So my friends added Rella to my name, like "Cinderella!" Many of my friends from back home call me Rena-Rella to this day and it always makes me smile!
  • ludogx87
    ludogx87 Posts: 286 Member
    Ludo is the nickname iv had from the age of about 14 (i cant remember why)
    the Gx is because my surname is Glencross, so G for Glenc and a "x" instead of word cross
    and the 87 is the year i was born.

    not really that exciting.... haaa

    hmmm...take a wild guess!

    I dont use the same names across the net, too easy to pick up stalkers that way and I chose this one as it sums me up pretty well.

    I grew up in a small town known for its Tupelo honey. When making up my email address I tried everything I could think of and they were all taken. I saw a bottle of honey sitting on my counter with a picture of the tupelo blossom on it and Tupeloblossom was born. So when I started here I used it.

    I was making a World of Warcraft character about 6-7 years ago and I couldn't figure out a name, it was driving me crazy. I was watching one of my favorite movies Poetic Justice. I said hmmm, Poetic. Punched it in, no one had it. Been using it ever since.
