what's with your username?
 

I first became an active forum member after buying my 2001 Mustang GT (with a 4.6 liter). I joined a couple Mustang forums, and 01GT4.6 was my username. Then I started a YouTube account as 01gt46 (b/c I couldn't use the decimal) so I've bascially been known as that since late 2000, early 2001.

What about everyone else?

Mike, I have been thinking of starting a similar thread. I was trying to think of a good name, and had recently heard "never use your dog's name..." so I said "not Tango" (my dog's name)...) to myself, then thought - why not?

Ann;)

that's funny.:D

This is a cool thread

I play World of Warcraft online and used their random name generator to come up with my toons name, it gave me Xarinn. I have been using that for all online forums etc ever since. I did have one girl on another forum recogonize from the game once and ask if I was the same person!! That was wierd!

One of my many hobbies is genealogy. I, too, use it in other forums;as well as part of my email.

Mines confusing as hell isn't it?!:p

Remember when AOL came out?? I was 13 or 14 at the time and had to come up with a user name so I could have this new thing called email.... lol :)

Anyways, my birthday is the 15th, this Monday actually. (I'm turning 27) So I knew I wanted to put 15 in it somehow.

I wanted it to be Luckygirl, not sure how I came up with that, other than I'm a girl, and occasionally I will have a good streak of luck. But AOL had a maximum of 10 character limit when it first began, so I had to cut the l of girl off and just used Luckygir15.

The email acct I use for forums and such is [email protected] because I'm a licensed veterinary technician. Realizing I'd have to type this in every time I log on, I shortened it to Lizzycritter. I often go by just Lizzy but that was taken.

I chose my name becuase I have two awesome dogs that love me and I have promised that I will love them eternally. They see me at my good and bad moments and love me just the way I am! I clicker train them and that is like my favorite thing to do, just sit down, take a deep breath, get those dog treats out and my clicker and just have fun learning something together. :D

What breed is your dogs? What are their names and how old? I have 2 dogs, too.

Shih Tzu mixes, their names are Shammah (2) and Kesia (5). :D

In high school I decided that I'd name my new email address after my favorite food at the time. Little did I know that in high school your favorite food changes 839935982 times. :confused:

Well, it stuck, so here I am.

Mine's not to imaginative - jml are my initials, 2010 was the year I joined here. :)

what's with your username?
 

Hello everyone. My handle, Albie@round, signifies my commitment to myself and to my family and friends, to undertake and maintain a sustainable healthy lifestyle. Noteworthy item: In 2002 I was diagnosed with colon cancer, had successful surgery for a colon resection and like a Timex, I am still ticking. ;)

I am around and am available if anyone needs a friend for conversation and support. Kudos to everyone on this board for trying to lead a better life!
Keep on keepin' on! :)

Well, I had planned to have a lot of weight loss. And my Mum calls me Boo, and as I wanted to remain anonymous it kinda fitted. :)

With my brilliant computer skills, I could not manage to register myself properly on Fitday the first time so I just wrote the first word that came to mind (don't ask me why it was canary; it's a nice bright yellow, cute bird, cheerful, I don't know.) Then I punched in two random numbers and it stuck. Thus Canary52.

BTW Weightlossboo, I call my DD boo also, sometimes I expand on it like Booboorincess or booboolio. As a teenager, she just loves it, yeah, uh huh.

Albie@round, great name, great story, very inspirational. Glad you're here!

mine did not need so much of an imagination. Farah is my name, last name starts with B and i am child number 7 in my family *big family, love it, wish i wasn't so far away from them*
that's how farahb7 came along. :D

Reading through the old posts, thought I'd try to get this one going again.
WoW is for World Of Warcraft (oline game I play too much), girl, cause I am one, and 88 being the year I was born.
Cheers.

gamer?

I've played for a while, you play? I'm on Nagrand if you do. :)

Mine is from my two dogs. They are wild & crazy. Hence the "wild". Then they are boxers and if you have ever seen an excited boxer you know that they bend in the middle like a kidney bean = "beanerz".

Zoe for my car~Z06
Duc for my bike ~ Ducati

sorry, they're my babies. :o

no PC gaming here. I play the PS3 some. Mainly just GT5 and been doing less racing and more picture taking. Here's my latest pic, ZoeDuc can appreciate this one. :D

Kim,

Very nice. I like them both. Eventually I'd like to get another bike or fast car. I'd love to drop an LS7 is a Foxbody Mustang. Put a built automatic in it and with minimal mods to the motor you'd have a 9 second car that would probably get 25mpg. :) The guy that built the motor for my 01 Mustang (Tim Lynch, from Proline Race Engines) now races a Vette in 10.5" Outlaw. I think it's "supposed" to be a ZR1 but you know there's nothing ZR1 on the car. YouTube - ‪prolineraceengines's Channel‬‏

I am Carly and onawire is all about the phone. I do A LOT of phone talking for work- all hours of the day and night.

Long ago with the birth of the cordless then cell phone, my name became extinct. I still think Carly On A Wire is a cool name for a band. :p

I am into horror and creepy stuff. I was thinking of a line for "The Wolfman" (1941).

"Even a man who is pure in heart and says his prayers by night, may become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms and the autumn moon is bright."

hmmm.... just as I suspected :p

no mystery
 

Mine is self explanatory........

I'm Jacked up, and I aint goin'back! ;)

My initials & birth year.

My nic is Vito (acquired from my uncle) and I enjoy wine (and beer, and the occasional G &T, and... :D). :)

What a fun thread! It's neat to see where people get their nics from. The origin of my username is kinda sappy, but here goes. One Sunday I was at church when I was still pregnant with my daughter, and an adorable little girl (maybe 3-4yo) came up to me in the hall:

LG: You have a big tummy like my mommy. She's gonna have a baby. Are you gonna have a baby, too?
me: Yes, I am.
LG: [pausing, tilting her head and kind of looking at me like she's appraising my appearance] You're very pretty.
me: awww, tha...
LG: [cutting in]...but now you'll be mommy pretty.

My heart just about melted. "Mommy pretty"—I loved it! A few days later I was setting up a new IM account, and I thought I'd try "mommypretty" as my username; that was taken (go figure!) so I tried "mommiepretty" instead—it worked, and I've been mommiepretty ever since (8+ years now) ;)

Mine is simple as well..Meggie and Tye were our twin, red, cocker spaniels. We had not had litter mates before and their behavior, especially for the first 5 years, was facinating to us! I used to run the track before work, so I took them with me to get them tired out. I put them in the centre of the oval and they spent 40 min trying to get to me..never leaving the grass! Meg was the alpha. She tended to Tye, short for Tyewanhale a pub in Perrenporth, Cornwall in England, she took are of him for 10 years until he developed diabetes, cancer and bad arthritis, and died suddenly. Meg lived for 5 more years..still looking around the house for him...she would never sleep in their bed again from the day he passed. They were a grand couple!

40+ years ago, showed up at this place for a 4-year stay as a Peace Corps volunteer.

My name came about because the love of my life is Fred and my daughter his stepdaughter sense she was 3 has called him "my Freddie", and on the same child's first day of preschool a young boy in my daughter's class walked up to Fred who at the time was 27 and I was 21 and asked him if I was his daughter too, LOL. It was hilarious and when I said no I am his girlfriend he looked at fred with this big smile and said so she's your honey... It was adorable so now I mostly go by freddieshoney anywhere I have to have a scream name...

I honestly don't remember. I think it was b/c I wanted to include my love of cats and the idea I am a Nana. Where the Swamp came from? It just popped out somehow.
Actually, I am a great-Nana!

For me....It's because I am obsessed with Japanese culture & fashion & anime and what not? So, the first Japanese name that struck my mind as I sat registering myself on this site was Ritsuko. ;)
