what does your screen name mean?

mine, cameragirl21 is obviously a reference to my being a photographer, a lot of the kids i photograph call me the cameragirl when they first meet me.
and the 21 is because i was born on the 21st day of the month, January 21 to be precise.
and yours?

TheOaf66 replied: mine is a nickname Jennie gave me cuz I am not very graceful and use brute strength over finesse, since I am big and broad shouldered. The 66 part is my demolition derby number.

coasterqueen replied: Mine?

Well I am a freak of nature as you know and extremely Virgo. That being said I'm anal, a neat freak, etc, etc so you cannot go anywhere in my house and set something on my tables/furniture without using a coaster. I have coasters out my bum, lol, so Dh and our friends call me the coaster queen. Hence the screen name, coasterqueen.

sparkys2boys replied: sparky is a name that my brother in law gave me YEARS ago and now all of the family calls me it.. and the 2 boys part, is for my two sons

cameragirl21 replied:
yours i kind of figured out, Karen, you're one of my favorite Virgos, though.

Boo&BugsMom replied: TannerBug=Tanner's nickname + I'm his mom

Calimama replied:
Hahaah neat. I thought you just liked roller coasters.. or you lived on the coast.

Crystalina replied: Well, Crystal is my name and the "ina" is what my girlfriends added on. Since I'm Puerto Rican they thought Crystalina sounded very spanish and decided that would be my name. I only use it on forums when there is already one Crystal and I have to use something else.

coasterqueen replied:
Many think this. I do like roller coasters though, but I don't live on the coast.

C&K*s Mommie replied: No doubt mine is obvious, just look at my siggy for my daughters names.

But my old screen name & one I use often for other purposes, is nix4noles. In short, I am a big fan of the Florida State Seminoles (football team mainly, I know little about the other sports the FSU plays). When needing a screen name many moons ago when I first got on the net, Nic's for the Noles came to mind. To shorten it, I went with nix and added the rest to it, and slammed it together to make one word.

PrairieMom replied: Mine is prairiemom because I live in SD, on the prairie, or what used to be the prairie anyway. I like to garden, and can my own pickles. I sometimes joke with my family that I'm just like little house on the prairie.

punkeemunkee'smom replied:
OMG! All this time I have been reading it like Tanner bugs mom-like drives you nuts! I like it better now!

PrairieMom replied:
me too!

cameragirl21 replied:
i thought for some reason that "Little House on the Prairie" took place in Minnesota... that's cool that you're on the prairie though, must be beautiful.
i love to garden too. i always saw the big advantage of Miami being that i can garden all year around.

moped replied: Mine means nothing.....jen is my name, the rest means nothing - it is NOT my last name in case anyone was wondering. I am sure it is someones name.

PrairieMom replied:
The tv show did. In walnut grove, its about 3 hours away from my. Actually, the show was filmed in california.

The Books actually took place for a large part in South dakota.
Ma, Pa, Carrie and Mary are all burried in Desmet SD which is about 3 hours from me in the other direction. The book "the surveyors house" took place there, and every thing else from that point on.

cameragirl21 replied:
i had no idea, Tara, i don't know why i thought it took place in Minnesota, that's another new thing i learned here today, in addition to the whole NIP debate.

MyBlueEyedBabies replied: I have Blue Eyed Babies and I have used that name since Matt was born other places and decided to use it here after I had J. because I didn't want to be KEB&1MVB+JPB

Our Lil' Family replied:
I really thought your last name was Hopkins! I always wondered why you would put your last name! How'd you come up with hopkins?


ETA: I used to be Readyforafamily on another board when I was TTC. When I got pregnant I thought it was time to switch, so I became Our Lil' Family. On other boards I'm just Naomi and Momma's Monkey b/c that's what we call Thomas.

redplaydoh replied: Mine really doesn't mean anything... I've used it for around 10 years now. I guess it started out being that I like nostalgic things from my childhood... At the time I had red hair and I LOVE hugs so I thought of playdoh because you could squeeze it. So I became Redplaydoh. I used to use SillyPuttyGirl because it always leaves good impressions... and for a while I was PezCandy but that got too many pervs making comments...

CantWait replied: I was pregnant when I joined the board and couldn't wait for our little bundle to arrive, hence Can't Wait.......

I wondered what I was going to do when this name didn't apply anymore and then someone on the board came up with the idea that I couldn't wait for firsts, for everything that my kids would do.

cameragirl21 replied:
Marie, i just wanted to tell you that i've always loved your screen name...it implies an eagerness and a zest for life and adventure, which IMO are among the best qualities that a person can have when it comes to day to day living.

luvmykids replied: Mine's pretty obvious....I also use pairandaspare sometimes, for the twins (pair) and Macie (a spare) it's a long running family joke.

Boo&BugsMom replied:
OMG! Really?!?! Holy cow. I'm so glad I explained that. You all must have thought I was some horrible mommy or something. When Tanner was first born I use to call him my little bug. Then it evolved into Tanner Bug and Buggy--Roo.

msoulz replied: Ok, once again I am the most boring person on the board. Mine is just my first initial followed by a phonetic spelling of my last name.

1lilpeanut2love replied: My SN used to be Mom2KayleeBRYNN, but I changed it because I like change and my computer was hacked into a while ago [even though I have virus protection] so I thought it would be good to change it!!

Now my screen name is 1lilpeanut2love. I love it!!! HAHAH! I Kaylee peanut. She is such a petite and cute lil girl. Also I love her and she is my only child! LOl!

Bee_Kay replied: Bee_Kay = B.K. (my initials )

cameragirl21 replied:
i don't think you're boring, Mary, and you're not quite contrary either.
i think changing the spelling of your last name to make it phonetic is creative and fun, especially when it has the word soul in it, means you have spunk!

MyBrownEyedBoy replied: My boy has brown eyes. However, my original name (idaho_boo) was because I live in Idaho and my family nickname has been boo since birth.

CantWait replied:
Thanks Jennifer.

You're comments describe my way of thinking to a tee. Unfortunetly I let to many things hold me back to make most of it in reality.

Hillbilly Housewife replied: ZEN Mommy - My kids' initials in their order of birth, Z for Zacharie, E for Emilie, and N for Naomie, as well as the ZEN feeling of mommyhood... kinda corny actually

PrairieMom replied:
I didn't think you were a horrible mom, Ben bugs me!

skinkybaby replied: When I was in college my favorite word seemed to be skanky. My mom got tired of me saying it all the time and told me to come up with a new word, so being the smarta** that I am I just switched to skinky. About that time I joined a message board and I started using skinky. So thats that. And baby is just because this is a parenting board!

punkeemunkee'smom replied:

Insanemomof3 replied: mine is pretty self explanitory. I used to be trinity1376 but jenhopkins helped me pick this name because i am always saying how insane i am

amymom replied: My initials Anne Marie Y........ and I'm a mom!

luvmykids replied:
Yours always had me stumped....I couldn't figure out who "amy" was

grapfruit replied: My is a little dumb. My boyfriend's brother and sister-in-law have a bunch of computers and we were playing a game where we were all networked. And I needed a name, and I think a grapefruit was sitting there. So I typed that in. (We all got a laugh). And I've used it ever since. However, when I typed it in for my screen name here, I mispelled it (omitted the e) by accident.

cameragirl21 replied:
i actually always wondered what yours meant. when i hear the word "skinky" i think of a skink, a type of lizard. so i thought maybe skinkybaby was your nickname for your daughter but then i wondered why you'd compare your daughter to a lizard...what would be the story behind that?

Boo&BugsMom replied:

cameragirl21 replied:
lol, very creative, Rocky.
i thought you were some kind of Buddhist or really into meditations or feng shui or something....

Bee_Kay replied:
OMG! I feel soooooo stupid now....

I thought the ZEN meant something like (from a dictionary) Zen is a form of Mahayana Buddhism that places great importance on moment-by-moment awareness and 'seeing deeply into the nature of things' by direct experience.

Cece00 replied: Cece is a nickname I've had. My first name is Crystal, my maiden name starts with a C, too...so CC were my initals...ala Cece. And I graduated in the yr 2000.

msoulz replied:
LOL, Jennifer, you are too kind!

But I am quite contrary, I just control myself so as not to be offensive. No point in that!!!

cameragirl21 replied:
well, Mary, i think a lot of us are quite contrary once you put it in that context....

jcc64 replied: My initials + (gasp) the year I was born.

BabyOwen427 replied: Baby Owen is what dh's family calls Owen and 427 was the day he was born (April 27).

I was Aprilnewbee but instead of changing my name I created a new profile/person. I thought Aprilnewbee was dumb and a bit embarassing. If I decide later I like something else I will figure out how to change it, so I don't loose all my post counts and stuff.
