How Did You...

[mummyof3babes]

Choose your user name? oh and for the newbies (and the forgetful 'ME, ME'!) What is your christian name?

I was trying to think of something original, and simply typed in 'mummyof3babes' without much thought! Pretty much straight away I was thinking 'oh crap, I should of just said 'Laura' ~ but anyway, there you go...

What about you?

[Mad Old Cow]

well Laura mummyof3babes i was Aus Di & Leigh was mucking around one night & gave us all nicknames & mine was Mad Old Cow & i liked it so she left it with me

[Cherie]

I made up Cherie Blossoms to sneak onto a family forum just for a stir. It was ages before they knew who I was.
But it suits me so I stuck with it. I am not fond of my real name, so whats the harm.:)

[Supa]

I have been using Supa since I first got the net, some one told me my sewing was Super & I just went with Supa

[Stormy]

Because I think it is well suited to me....those that know me well would agree I think :hehe:

I was thinking of getting it shortened to just plain Stormy tho....since two words is a bit of a mouthful :P

[Heather]

AFW wouldn't let me use Heather....previously taken.

[Naomi]

I wanted something subtle, mysterious, that would make people wonder why I chose it :|

[Cherie]

Lol @ Naomi LMAO

[milena]

I´m using my real name ( in spite of the fact I don´t like it much) well I´m quite boring person...:dance3:

[Rachel]

I never put too much thought into it and just typed in my real name so I could just get on with posting etc.. funny thing is- in real life no one calls me Rachel! Everyone calls me Rach and my neices and a few others call me Rachie..

[Kekka]

It just happened. I like my user name more than my real name also. :D

[lucyloo]

I can't even remember how I came up with Lucyloo!! I don't even know anyone called Lucy......:jump:
My real name is Vanessa, but all my family and friends call me Ness.:D

[Mad Old Cow]

Oh good i will call you Rachie too lol
well to be totally honest :) i had NFI about forums or PC's for that matter when i joined up here so i joined as my husbands first initial & our last name because thats at the beginning of my hotmail addy LMAO & i just thought thats what i had to do because it said ( user name ) LMAO OMG i know i am not very umm clever.
So as time went on i saw what everyone else was doing & as i said earlier Leigh had given us knicknames one night & i really wanted to take my real surname off so i asked Leigh is i could have MOC which was the knickname whew, so there you go lol

[Barbara]

My real name was just too long (Iamamumof2kids2dogs1catandamhappilymarriedtoawond erfulman) so I thought Barbara would be easier to use :D

[Mad Old Cow]

LMAO @ Barb

[Patricia]

Like Naomi I didn't want anyone to know it was me :P

[Alexa]

Alexa is more feminine than Alex which is really what I get called. I hate it, but after nearly 35 years I have to live with it. :yes:

I tried another name in another forum and it just didn't feel right.

[Stormy]

well to be totally honest :) i had NFI about forums or PC's for that matter when i joined up here so i joined as my husbands first initial & our last name because thats at the beginning of my hotmail addy LMAO & i just thought thats what i had to do because it said ( user name ) LMAO OMG i know i am not very umm clever.


You know it was only after I knew your surname and hubby's initial that I put two and two together. Before that, I thought it was something to do with cats and Australia, or that maybe Kat was short for Katherine LMAO

Lucy I thought you must have gotten it from that Charlie's Angels song because I remember you saying once that your name was something else :hehe:

[zen]

when i first started chatting online, on a chat BBS, i was shy, and i also couldn't type fast enough to keep up anyway.. so i was given the name of zen, as real zen has no words... i have had this nick for so long, around 17-18 years now i think, maybe a little longer... a lot of the people i used to know always used it instead of my actual name.. i have various articles with zen on them, glasses case, mug, cap etc.. even a propeller beanie! :D i was very happy to be able to use it here, it's generally taken.. seems to be a very popular name around the 'net...

[ezmay]

My mum has called me ezmay since i was little. Its a name that has stuck with me since and even those who only know my real name always seem to end up calling me either ez or ezmay.

[Naomi]

My real name was just too long (Iamamumof2kids2dogs1catandamhappilymarriedtoawond erfulman) so I thought Barbara would be easier to use :D

LMAO Bwahahahah!!! Funniest thing I've read today!

[kezabelle]

assumed Kerrie would be taken and it's a combination of nicknames that hubby once suggested :)

Kekka, I actually prefer Kerrie to all the shortenings - actually hate Kez quite passionately (but hubby, some family and close friends still ignore that fact!) and was called Kekky by a friend throughout my childhood.

Zen, I just roomed in hospital with a girl who's real name is Zen - had to check where you lived when I got out and saw your name :)

and to those of you named after the number of children you have, I'm going to temporarily steal the thread to share my current favourite joke :D Every morning for 20 years, a woman's husband greets her with "How are you on this lovely morning Mother of Four?" For 20 years she tells him not to define her that way, etc. Finally, he asks the question just that one time too many and she replies "I'm great Father of Two" :D

[Mad Old Cow]

Good one Kezzabelle lol
Kay LMAO its so good to be able to LMAO at something you have said instead of you laughing ur bum off at stuff i say LMAO

[Carissa]

Mine is my name, its the best thing my birth parents ever gave me!
I LOVE my name, it means "dear one" & it's greek.
I can never find anything with my name one it! :(

P.S: My perfum called CARISSA should arrive next week, will let you know in that post if "i" smell nice! ;) hahaha

xo

P.P.S: My friend from childhoods little sister called me RISS cos she couldn't say caRISSa- my close friends & family still call me RISS & i love that as a nic name so i use that if i can't use Carissa.
Or- i use to have a dog called SOOKIE (She cried the whole time i held her at the pet shop when i bought her) so i use that one too.

:D

[Mesmereyes]

Mine my Hubby gave to me, he said I have mesmereizng eyes, NO he was not DRunk LOL. so I got
MES MER EYES.... how sweet hey, and my real name is Linda and I hate it lol

[Stormy]

Kekka, I actually prefer Kerrie to all the shortenings - actually hate Kez quite passionately

Sorry, been guilty of that quite a few times but you never said anything :blush:

Kay LMAO its so good to be able to LMAO at something you have said instead of you laughing ur bum off at stuff i say LMAO

Oh you'll keep LMAO

[lucyloo]

Lucy I thought you must have gotten it from that Charlie's Angels song because I remember you saying once that your name was something else :hehe:What song is that Stormy? I honestly have no idea why I picked that name, maybe I needed to go to the toilet at the time??? Who knows how my brain thinks, I can't keep up with it half the timeLMAO

[zen]

lucyloo - i thought you may have been a Lucy Liu fan when i first saw your name.. :)

Kezabelle - that would have been one of those double take moments!

[djmastermum]

Well 9 years ago when Branden was an infant he had a toy radio that he loved to play us songs on, so we called him djmasterb, and then When I was creating an emal addy I just thougtthat since my son is djmasterb, I must be djmastermum. Of course I now have a djmastere, and a djmasterd as well! :)

[lucyloo]

lucyloo - i thought you may have been a Lucy Liu fan when i first saw your name.. :)

Oh, okay now I get it (I am a bit slow), umm, yes I like Lucy Liu, but am not a terribly huge fan, maybe that was where I did get it from??? Who knows, I can't remember stuff from last week, needless to say last year!!

[Stormy]

Ummm....I can't quite remember the name of it, but the song from the movie had a bloke speaking "Beyonce Lucy Liu and Cameron D" or something like that. :)

[sbmac]

i just used mine and hubbys first initials and our last name. Last time i checked there were over 5000 sbmac usernames on the net. so much for being original. :P

[kezabelle]

Sorry, been guilty of that quite a few times but you never said anything :blush:

Given that Kimba calls me Kez and my username shortens to it... I'll forgive you :hehe:

[redrobyn]

Mine's nothing exciting, my real name is Robyn, when I was younger everyone called me red robin like the bird, my hubby call's me robyn redbreast for obvious reason's not going there, so hence redrobyn.

[djmastermum]

[kezabelle]

Well KIMBA...

Kimba was 14 and I was almost 19 and we were in the city for New Years Eve (sound familiar Kimba?). Now, at the time, Kimba was already taller and bigger busted than me :hehe: and she looked 18 and I looked 13 (she got in to clubs without ID and I wasn't allowed!!!). So, there were these guys... and one in particular to a shine to my baby sister - they were 19 and thought she was the older one. Kimba was wearing an orange dress and had a thick mane of curly hair down to her waist. The guy thought she looked like a lion, found out her name was Kimba, and the rest is history :D

[kimba]

Ahh yes I do remember!!I looooved that dress!!It had a zip that went the whole way down the frontLMAOAnyway was this the night somebody fell of the harbour bridge???LMAO

[Mad Old Cow]

LMAO what a great story LMAO so Kimba, do you remember??

[susiq]

Good to read Kimba and Kezza have a good go at each other. I missed them! - thanks girls.

My name is pretty simple - nickname from my hubby and various others. Saying that, as you probably know, there are thousands of susiq's on the net!

I do also happen to like the real Suzie Q so that helps!

[July]

July - it's my birth month. My real name is Susan.

[miss kiki]

my real name is christina..kiki is a nickname. thought it would be cute if i put miss in front of it..not too sure i like it now though! :hehe: i like kickster better. :D my brother couldn't say my name when we were young, so instead kiki came out and it stuck. my whole family calls me that and rarely calls me christina. as for DF and the kids, i'm nene or christina, lol. too many nicknames!

[fussybluu]

Fussyblu, actually my kids think i'm fussy as i'm allways correcting them over something lol,
and blue is my favourite colour, hence fussyblu.
