I've been a member of the forums for less than a month but already I know many of you by your screen names. Seeing that most of us choose our screen name to be something that describes something we like or something we are, I'm wondering what some of your screen names mean. Seeing as I'm the curious one, I'll tell you about my screen name first to get the ball rolling. My birthday is May 25th which makes me a Gemini and my favourite number is 19. Not a sensational story, my own, but still I'd like to hear some of yours if, of course, you're willing to tell... so, what's in YOUR name?

Have a look at this thread.

Easy one. Ren is the first part of my surname. 33 is of course, my age...

I took Cheri from my Christian name, Cherilyn, then added Den from Denise, my middle name. I have used it for 7 years on the internet. Sometimes I feel like changing my name to Cheriden as so many people call me Cheryl, which I don't like. Then again, if I changed it, people wouldn't spell Cheriden correctly.

Achernar is the name of a star, the 9th-brightest in the night sky.

The KT part is for Kate, and the rest is also part of a surname. I am also 33 years old. [ snicker ]

OK truth time. I have declared in former threads which have been similar that Sue943 is a name I used on another site so it was easier for me to remember if I stuck to the same name, yes that is the truth but only a half truth. The other site was an online dating site and no, I am no longer a member.

My son was born in 1995, so I have been a Mom since lol.

Well, I suppose there are not many on-line dating groups catering to aging Channel Islanders with THOSE sort of tastes.......

Sue is that the site for SAA?
That stands for Spam Addicts Anonymous!
I am sure you had lots of suitors from that site.

As for the 943.

Ren told me that is how many cases of Spam you have in your garage.
My screen name is self explanatory.
I love the color and own alot of things that are Purple.

my name was randomly generated with the aid of a 20 sided die in my dungeons and dragons playing days. I added the u's later. Quoge Quox was of course a mighty Paladin known through out the Realms for his good deeds. Right up to the point where he got a job and discovered girls and alcohol!

I've been a band director for about 23 years now, and I work with a lady who always calls me "band man". I went to register on another site, and bandman was taken, so I added "mr" in front of it (which are the initials of the name of the school where I teach), and I just liked the look of it, but I now say it "mister band man", and, like many others, I use it pretty much everywhere I go.

When my last employers set up an intranet, some local webmasters included chatrooms on their sites (the chatrooms were soon closed down by the board).

I used to look into our chatroom now and again and used various names. One day someone posted a message "I wonder how many people are tabbing to and fro between this chatroom and their work". Tabbing to and fro was just what I was doing, my name's Tom and I've always felt an affinity with cats. So I became Tabby Tom, and I kept the name when I discovered Fun Trivia.

I think many already know that ClaraSue is my dog's name. Actually her name was just Clara, but when she got in trouble for something as a pup, I had to add a middle name when I chastised her and the Sue just stuck.

When I first signed up for anything online, the year was 1997, and I was working at a small US retail store named Dollar General. My name is David (or Dave), and I stuck the initials in front. I've been known as that since.

As a new poster, not quite knowing how to really jump in...I'm enjoying these lighthearted fun threads..:) My nic is taken from lyrics from the Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers song "Spike"..yes, I'm a little obsessed..ha

My name stretches all the way back to high school when we had to read "The Great Gatsby". The book enthralled me no end and I rattled on about it constantly. It became my nickname then (strangely, all these years later, several local people still refer to me as Gatsby). Never mind that I share no traits with the character. The 722 is my birthday - and, no , I wasn't born in July 1922 .

Well, I am a Agatha Christie fan, and instead of using my real name on the Internet, Jane Marple seems to suit my tastes!

Sinned is my name spelled backwards and 2471 is the address of the building I grew up in.

When I was a toddler, my grandmother started calling me her "little woman" because I was so growny-acting. She's called me that ever since. Then, when my husband and I started dating, he called me his "little woman" because of my petite size. At the time, my husband didn't know that my grandmother already called me "little woman," so it was a coincidence indeed. So that's where my screen name comes from: I'm "little woman" to two very precious people in my life.

My husband was given the nickname Toad (by his mother). I was either going to get Mrs.Toad or Toadette, so toadette I became

well, mine might be a little obvious (sort of). My initials are SRS and I am a Trekker! (as if you couldn't tell from my signature ) I also use it pretty much all around the internet.

It's my first name plus the music that I love. All kinds but especially contemporary jazz. I ran a website for a few years called The Smooth Jazz Site but I had to take it offline. It was taking too much time and money. Now I actually have time to listen to the music!

Simple. I'm a Liverpool fan, and having other names being taken already I randomly typed in this one and it worked.
