    unoriginal - my name is Alyson, and my birthday is August 20.

    Maybe not original - but its still all you! That's what makes it perfect.

    My best friend calls me Lumpo because I'm a lazy lump of a person. And I've always joked that Lumpo sounds like the name of a Marx brother, haha.

    Oh, but my real name is Sam.

    My username is part of my last name and first initial. I just used it because it's a typical and easy username for me to remember.

    I took one of those silly internet tests, what were you in your past life?

    It said I was a Greek turtle named Spiros that loved to read.

    I'm Greek, I love to read and Spiros just stuck with me.

    Can;t go wrong there - that's usually the standard for me in most cases.

    Kurt .. Cyngen is a tag I used ages ago playing AD&D and has stuck for my gaming. It's from a British name of St. John and pronounced Sin Gen. Got the name idea from the TV show Airwolf.

    Real name = Stefanie (yes, with an F, my mom liked it better that way, but I still have relatives that spell my name wrong), but I go by Stef, Stefi, Steffers- or any other nickname people come up with. When I actually hear my full name, I think I'm in trouble because it's the only time my parents ever used it.

    Username = fell down the stairs years and years and years ago and a good friend said "you must've looked like a slinky"...it stuck and I've been using either imslinkee or slinkee as my user/screen names ever since

    Jolene is the real name but I *hate* it.. everyone calls me Jade or JoJo..

    JadedSouls is a name I picked like 10yrs ago when I first started going on forums and various websites. Just always liked the name Jade.. not sure how I came up with the name as a whole tho..

    Jade is bad *kitten* but I think Jolene is an awesome name !!

    I love the name Jolene too :happy:

    Mine is just a random expletive - I tried many profanities in different forms and sequences before finding one that wasn't already in use :grumble:

    My name is Laurel (never liked it, though). I've used Athena online since I started posting anywhere at all around 12 years ago. I had just taken a "which god or goddess are you" quiz, and it said I had the most in common with Athena. Apparently it was pretty accurate, because I've had several people tell me I reminded them of Athena, too. The numbers are my zip code.

    My first name is Jacquie (short for Jacqueline) and since it's not as common a spelling, my friends call me Quie for short. 6/18 is my birthday.
