Why is your username your username?

[Richt]

Mine is fairly obvious,

Rich is my first name, and T is the first letter of my surname.

What about you?

Re: Why is your username your username?

Julirama is a nickname I had a while ago...sort of like a "Makin' Copies" kind of nickname (anyone remember that from SNL???) and 723 is my birthday (7/23).

Re: Why is your username your username?

I'm a lawyer . . . and I'm female = Lawyerchick. I also like the cheekiness of combining suited up lawyering with girly chicky-ness.

I use the same username on a lot of different sites, so it's not Atkins-specific

[dreamof145]

Re: Why is your username your username?

I put a lot of thought into my name. #1, I wanted to get down to 145 pounds (no brainer). But...dreamof is one I used because my Mom's name was Dreama. Losing weight became such an important thing to me that I wanted to use her name in my username. My mom isn't here anymore and I absolutely loved her. Its worked because I am still determined to make this my WOL and not give up. (I guess you could say using her name keeps me motivated to make this a WOL and not a temperary diet)

Re: Why is your username your username?

Very touching reason Dreamof145. Your Mom would be so proud. Thanks for sharing, BTW, you look great and I am proud of you, brady

do your family and friends just call you Aphex? or shorten it to AP?

Dreama.... what a beautiful name your mom had Becky!


Sadie147: Sadie was my dog, she died of cancer 9 years ago. When i first got the internet 10 yrs ago and she first became sick, I joined a veterninary bulletin board to ask questions regarding her prognosis. So I used her name for my nickname, and 147 was my office number at work at the time. I kept using the name on boards, for consistency (so i wouldn't forget lol) and kind of as a tribute to her. It's funny, i'm so used to being called Sadie on here now...

Re: Why is your username your username?

Um, - I work in theatres and Cinderella was the show at the time i first entered the MSN chat world, so it kinda stuck everywhere!
Though nowadays i'm not used to being called Cinders, i dont do nowhere near as much chatting and foruming as i used to - working far too hard! and even the majority of you lot dont call me Cinders anymore so maybe i should just bloomin change it to Emma!
