The Origin of your Profile Name

    When I first signed up MFP it was through the iPhone app store and I was leery/ didn't want to use an alias I usually use so I went with "bulletprooff" -- "bulletproof" was taken and I add the extra F because it's easy to remember. Now, I obviously don't care if people associate it with me (hello profile picture) but I used bulletproof as a way to be anonymous.

    The idea came from a lyric/ song I like. "Bulletproof... I Wish I Was" by Radiohead.


    Limb by limb and tooth by tooth
    Tearing up inside of me
    Every day every hour
    I wish that I was bullet proof

    Wax me
    Mold me
    Heat the pins and stab them in
    You have turned me into this
    Just wish that it was bullet proof

    So pay the money and take a shot
    Leadfill the hole in me
    I could burst a million bubbles
    All surrogate and bullet proof

    And bullet proof
    And bullet proof
    And bullet proof

    Well, I just started (again) on this wonderful journey of weight loss. The origin of my Profile name came from a quiz my children gave ...The name of the quiz was "what would be your hillbilly name" ... It came up Big mama crow. :D I use it for pretty much everything and I love it.

    I've used this screename since the days of AOL Instant Messenger in high school. I grew up traveling and in school whenever we'd do introductions, I'd get a little fumbled with "where are you from?" so I just started telling people I was from the world! And the 28 is because my birthday is on the 28th.

    Hi! I was feeling all out of sorts one day and really grumpy (really very unusual for me) and needed to come up with a user name and that's what started it.

    My boyfriend calls me Kitty and I adore French so I figured I'd go with something in French. Chaton translated means Kitten. The "x" comes from "xoxo", as in a kiss. I don't like doing the whole "xoxo" so I just did "x".

    :]

    Mine is more just a universal name. Even though everyone calls me Nickie, I'm technically Christine. so cnsmith, Christine Nicole Smith ha ha.

    I have funny gamer tag names though.... Nickie of course is always taken, so when my hubby made my XBox Live account, he called it Spoiled Nickie... and it wasn't taken so now both my XBox and Sony accounts are Spoiled Nickie heh. :)

    Ummm....is that WEEZER in your profile pic?!?!?!? :)

    lol nope. It's Moss from a British comedy called The I.T. Crowd. It's ridiculously funny :)

    I like Family Guy probably a little more than I should, and changed my profile name to "GiggityGoo" on a random late night whim from my real, full name.

    Princeza is Croatian for princess. As an only child, I'm the "princess" of the family. And I got really interested in Croatia back in 2000, and have wanted to go there since. I even tried teaching myself the language!

    9- multiple reasons. I was born on 9/9 and one of my favorite soccer players wore the #9 when he played.

    I got competition fever when I did my first last year, so I started over and re-named myself, because I now love every aspect about competing, hence I puffy heart competing. :bigsmile:

    I came up with mine around the age of 16 or so. I thought torrid was a cool word:

    tor·rid/ˈtôrid/Adjective:
    1.Very hot and dry.
    2.Full of passionate or highly charged emotions arising from sexual love.

    So in turn I perceived it as "setting the sky ablaze."
    & 4 is my favorite number.

    DocTurtle was the name of the Russian Tortoise I bought at 4-months-old and passed away at 4 years old. Plus my husband calls me turtle cause he's always rushing me and I keep saying "Slow & steady wins the race."

    My favourite comic growing up was Archie's Digest and I could never work out which character was my favourite so I decided to have them both.
