What does it mean??

[AddictedScrapper]

I always find that a lot of people's screen names on forums to be interesting so I thought it would be cool to know the story behind them.

So what does your screen name mean? I know some of you it's just your name, but feel free to play along anyway :p

Mine - I guess is pretty self explanatory - I'm addicted to scrapping!

[Joan]

It means...

...um, very boring, I know! :D

[jessica31876]

oh mine is simple...its my name and birthday. I also use baracuda67 on some forums which is my dream car and the year

[ditzyscrap]

Mine is because when I first started scrapping the "trendy" way as a paper scrapper, I was pregnant and VERY VERY ditzy, lol. So I was ditzyscrap, lol. And I have never wanted to change it, lol.

[gracielou]

:blink: I have no idea LOL!

I guess I got it from my oldest daughters middle name which is grace and just added some southern thwang to it LOL!

[Darcy Baldwin]

My screen name before I turned fontographer is aslansavz (and I still use it in quite a few places).

It's a take on Narnia - which you'll have to 'get' to figure out :)

[kscwgirl]

mine is a holdover from AOL days where they limited the characters. So basically it's Kansas Cowgirl abbreviated. :)

[AddictedScrapper]

WOW you were born in 1876???? :blink: :p That's what it looks like at first glance! LOL

oh mine is simple...its my name and birthday. I also use baracuda67 on some forums which is my dream car and the year

[BrattyMeg]

Well..I'm a little bit bratty (ok a lot...) and was quite the flirt before my DH tied me down. I've had this name since my Pogo days years and years and years and years ago!

I should change mine though now...I'm not so flirtatious anymore lol

[jessica31876]

LOL no but you know what is funny? When I went down to get my GED because I was going to nightschool after I had my daughter instead of going back to a regular highschool somehow they got the wrong date on my diploma when I got it back had 1876 on it :-P That was back in 1992 so I would have been what like 116?? WOW you were born in 1876???? :blink: :p That's what it looks like at first glance! LOL

[digideb]

My screen name before I turned fontographer is aslansavz (and I still use it in quite a few places).

It's a take on Narnia - which you'll have to 'get' to figure out :)
Darcy! That's SO cool! I never could figure out what that meant! Now I got it! Very cool! Love it!

My friend Bobby, the DH of Sweet Genevieve was making fun of me & Gena one day and was saying that we should start our own TV show, "Digiscrapping w/Sweet Genevieve & Digideb". I LOVED it & it just stuck. So, I immediately became digideb! And my name is Debbie, but most people just call me Deb, so that's obviously where he got it from! LOL

[Brooke W]

Well, it's not too hard,lol. The W is my maiden name initial.

There are many other forums where I've used wildstraw. It's been my nickname for so long now, but I wanted something more personal for my forums.
Wildstraw is/was the name of a horse that I loved dearly. He died very early at the age of 7 from a heart attack. We had a lot of dreams with him and they went kaput. His name came from the original breeder and a part of Mr Wildstraw's sire's name.

[meganmecrazy]

I have had my screen name back from the first days of the family having the internet! LOL! I picked it because there was a popular song that year called HOW BIZZARE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIvAXrce_gg) from OMC and their chorus says "Oooh Baby, it's makin me crazy" but when my friends and I would listen to it we all thought it sounded like "megan me crazy" so I picked meganmecrazy for my screen name and thought it was totally cool. ROFLMBO! And it stuck with me through all these years!

[cbettua]

First inital, and maiden last name.

[Nikki Epperson]

hmmmmm..... How do I explain this? Oh, I know -- I'm boring and it's just my name. LOL

Nikki Epperson

I'm so original!

[aggiefamily]

Billy and I went to Texas A&M-met there, dated there and got married on campus. So we are Aggies and an aggiefamily.

[lizzyfizzy]

My screen name before I turned fontographer is aslansavz (and I still use it in quite a few places).

It's a take on Narnia - which you'll have to 'get' to figure out :)

your a bloody genius!! i love that. indeed HE does!

[mrsmbm]

Mine is Mrs. and then my husband's initials. Not very original, and I came up with it when I was first married.

Reading this post makes me wish I could change my name w/o losing my post count! :P

[alexandra]

it's simple :)
it's my name :)
I always try to use my real name, its easyer to memorize. :) :)

[newfiemountiewife]

I have had my screen name back from the first days of the family having the internet! LOL! I picked it because there was a popular song that year called HOW BIZZARE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIvAXrce_gg) from OMC and their chorus says "Oooh Baby, it's makin me crazy" but when my friends and I would listen to it we all thought it sounded like "megan me crazy" so I picked meganmecrazy for my screen name and thought it was totally cool. ROFLMBO! And it stuck with me through all these years!

OMG I loved that stankin song!!!! LOL

ETA I am now listening to it...and laughing my butt off LOL

[newfiemountiewife]

Mine is newfiemountiewife

newfie = Newfoundlander (Newfoundland is a province in Canada, and we are called Newfies for short)
mountie = because my DH is a member of the RCMP, those cops with the red coats and stetsons, and yes he has both. And the high brown boots. Yum.
wife = because, well, I'm a Mountie's wife.

There ya go. LOL!

I use this username everywhere, except a couple of places where it was too long, I opted for mountiewife instead. I need everything to stay the same, because I am very forgetful LOL

[stayawake]

My screen name most places is "Stayawake", not because I'm an insomniac... but because of a quote from my favourite movie of all time.
Joe Vs. The Volcano is the best movie ever... if you ever get a chance to watch it, DO. It was the first movie Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan made... anyway, this is one of the key quotes of the movie.

"My father says almost the whole world is asleep, everybody you see everybody you meet everybody you talk to. Only a few are awake and they live in a state of constant total amazement"

That's how I try to live - in constant total amazement of the world. I want to stay awake. :)

[DawnMarch]

I have no idea LOL!

I guess I got it from my oldest daughters middle name which is grace and just added some southern thwang to it LOL!

LOL. It took me the longest time to realize that your name was NOT GracieLou!

Mine's easy -- just my first name and an abbreviated version of my last.

[stayawake]

My screen name before I turned fontographer is aslansavz (and I still use it in quite a few places).

It's a take on Narnia - which you'll have to 'get' to figure out :)

Darcy, your screen name always made me smile way back when you were Aslansavz. :)

[scarletsierra]

Mine's an homage to DH of sorts. His career field wears a scarlet beret (and goodness forbid if you call it "red"...it's the one time these guys think outside the traditional crayola box, lol). Sierra represents my name, Sara. It's the phonetic for the letter S (Sara)...which is how they call letters in the military and for his job.

[gracielou]

your a bloody genius!! i love that. indeed HE does!

Thanks Lizzy! I finally got it. I have been trying everything I could think of. Love it!

[gracielou]

LOL. It took me the longest time to realize that your name was NOT GracieLou!

Mine's easy -- just my first name and an abbreviated version of my last.

People still refer to me as gracielou or gracie LOL! I don't mind.

[scarletsierra]

My screen name before I turned fontographer is aslansavz (and I still use it in quite a few places).

I LOVE this Darcy!

That is too cool! I honestly thought it was because you were always tired LOL! Yes, I am a dork!

[nikkiARNGwife]

nikkiARNGwife - Nikki Army National Guard Wife - I've had this screen name since I married DH 7 years ago lol

[crystalbird]

Mine is just an old random high school nickname that I pulled out when I had to start thinking of user names a few years ago. 'Crystal' was close to 'Christy' (my name), and 'bird' was sorta close to my maiden name. At least I think that's how it came about... :unsure:

I'm too lazy to try and think up anything else.

[breakingbrie]

I used to use mb20girl a lot because I was a huuuge fan of Matchbox 20. When they split, I got really into Breaking Benjamin, and I thought their name just sounded so cool.

[clearskies]

Mine has two meanings of sort.
1: we got married during a tropical storm
2: DH is Air Force and the planes work better when the skies are clear

[lizzyfizzy]

i think yours is brillant and so insightful!

[AllieP]

This is so funny! I was just wondering this the other day...

Mine comes from my old college roommate. She used to call me AllieK (Kelli is my middle name). I just changed it to the initial of my last name.

[Nettio]

Well Nettio is the nickname my DH calls me. It was inspired by an episode of South Park we saw when we were in college. I did a layout with the story behind it here (http://www.digishoptalk.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=2035&cat=all&ppuser=36).

[Nonna2Dreja]

Mine stands for (Grandma) to Diondré and Aja(pronounced Asia....They refer to me as "Nonna"....Thus Nonna2Dreja

[iJenny]

Mine is from 6 1/2 years ago when my first son, Cameron was born. I was, of course, relishing in my status as new-mommy and decided that my screen name should reflect that.
So...
LilCameronsMommy

((I now have two sons and have considered changing it, but its just too much trouble))

[gypsystar]

My favorite movie is an old 80s vampire flick called The Lost Boys. The vampire girl in the movie is named Star and she dresses like a gypsy so that's me :).

[**Holly**]

Ha mine is pretty simple and self explanitory! Although on a few other sites I got by "fryfrkhlly" which is fairy freak holly...I am VERY into fairy's hence the freak...hehe and on DST I go by Mommaholly05...which is another self explainitory one...I become a mom in 05!

[~Julie~]

just my name... thats it

[glumirk]

glumirk was my phone number when I was in high school. I never have to worry about anyone else using that one, so I usually stick to it. Sadly, I haven't had a phone number that really spells anything sense.

This is the quote I get for my new cell:

"There are no words in !@#-$%^&

"Believe it or not, we did not find any interesting mnemonics for !@#-$%^&. Everything is working fine, this is not a bug. Some numbers just have such odd combinations of letters and/or too many zeroes and ones that they simply do not have good mnemonics. Sorry. Perhaps you might like to try again with the number 568-3569 for an example of how the system works. "

[ColleenSwerb]

Ha! Mine is silly :)

My last name is Brady and in college that's what everyone called me.
My friend Caleb is 6'-7". I am 5'-4".
It started back when LotR came out. Frodo.
Frodo became Brodo because I'm so small compared to Caleb, it was like I was a hobbit.

And I'm originally from NY. And my Birthday is 1/23.

[mummytothree]

Mine is pretty self explanatory too...I'm a mom to three...well I was anyways when I first started scrapping...now I'm a mom to four but i don't feel like changing my name at a bazillion places!!! :D :D

[nesser1981]

Mine is my nickname for Vanessa and I was born in 1981.

[Voodoo_Bryn]

I've always been known as a pretty mean girl. One of those, "If you don't have anything nice to say, sit next to me" types.
Almost everyone that I become friends with in real life tell me they were either totally scared of me or thought I was bitch when they first met me.

So...
Voodoo_Bryn.

oh, and...

[crystalbella77]

My sister used to call me CrystalBella so that's where that came from and my bday is 7/7 :D I'm boring! lol

[lizzyfizzy]

mine is my fave nickname for my real long name elizabeth. so there you got lizzy. then i just like to rhyme. hence fizzy. plus...i'm pretty random kinda like fizzz izzzz. so i like it. my sisters (when it's a late night at the coffee shop) call me lizzyfizzyclementizze and the clementizze comes from the clementine izze sparkling fruit-flavored beverage. dangit...i love how my name rhymes with zzzz's...so lucky! :D my h.s. history teacher called me dizzylizzy...should've made my user name 'dizzylizzyfizzyclementizze', but alas i shortened it! :p

[Chels85]

Mine is my nickname and i was born in 85

[sammi]

Well mine isn't all that exciting...my name is Samantha and my parents always called me Sammie... when I got my first car waaay back when, I got a vanity plate with Sammi, because I couldn't get the E added. It stuck since then. I used that plate until a last year. :)

[LeeAndra]

Why go by anything else but your first name if you are the only one in DigiScrapLand?

Besides, what else would it be? 'MomToNoneButHopesSomedayToBe?'

Lame. :)

[mommy2aria06]

Well, uh, my little girl's name is Arianna and before she was born I thought I was going to call her Aria for short- well, now I just call her Lily (her middle name) and she was born in 2006. I have been using this name on message boards since before she was born so it just stuck

[Tracyfish]

Just my name and favorite hobby (besides scrapping). LOL

[junebug]

mine is kinda simple. my birthday is in june. then i thought it'd be cute to add 'bug' to the end. easy peasy. on some websites i'm just Corey, or junebug30 (30 being my current age) cause there are apparently people out there who stole my screenname, lol. SSD is where i first started using junebug. i wanted something cute; i'm actually not very fond of my first name. i wish it was atleast spelled differently, like Cori or something. i'm always mistaken for a boy because of the way my name is spelled. i get junkmail that says 'Mr. Corey Monroe' all the time!

[Lukasmummy]

Mine is because I loved being Lukas's mummy, it kind of made me feel complete. Most of my online names were set up after Leo died, so I was only Lukas's mummy. I use the same one everywhere because it's easy to remember, and I guess it makes sense to be what makes me happy where I am happy lol. Hugs Crystal xx

[Jennilyn]

i'm always mistaken for a boy because of the way my name is spelled. i get junkmail that says 'Mr. Corey Monroe' all the time!

I knew of a Corey in elementary school that was a girl :)

I got mine by combining my first and middle names...Jennifer Lyn...Jennilyn. I used to go by Orbiesmama when I had no kids but just had our cat Orbie, then when I had Kristen I went by Mama2Kristen, when I had Kaylee I changed it to LuvMy2Ks (because both my girls names start with K) and during that whole time I also went by CanuckMama sometimes because I'm a mom and I live in Canada. :)

[alansrock]

alan=my hubby
rock=his nickname for me

so there you have Alan's rock condensed to alansrock!

[makabe]

My screenname dates all the way back to the very early 90s when my family first got internet access at home. We had one AOL account that we shared back then, so I chose makabe, which is the first two letters of my mom's name, my name and my sister's name (Marcia, Karen, Beth.) Since it's kind of a nonsense word, I don't usually have trouble getting registered with it when I join a new board. :-)

[Leah]

Mine's pretty boring too - it's just the name that I chose for scrapping, stamping, photography...pretty much anything that is related to using "paper". LOL

[my4boys]

I guess mine is pretty self explanatory too...I got me 4 boys!!!!!

[wildblueeyez]

Hm, won't take a genius to figure out that I have blue eyes. LOL However they aren't spectacular or anything like that but they are a very deep dark blue. and when I was figuring out a screen name many years ago, I was truly a wild kind of gal. My lic. plate starts off with Eys and I took it as a sign and created wildblueeyez.

[scrapmonkey]

I was born in the year of the monkey, and I love and collect (stuffed) monkeys. And of course I scrap. In a few places, someone else has scrapmonkey, so in those cases I put my initials LADC before it.
Before I got into scrapping, I did rubber stamping for a number of years. The I was known as rubberchick, rubberchiq and then rubbermonkey. But let me tell you, that ended up giving me a lot of nasty (read: porn) spam.

[switchwiz]

Kind of a pitiful way to get a screen name but I don't have kids or a husband to use as inspiration. So here's how I came up mine.........
switch (this is the application name of the system I am a database manager for--see --told ya it was sad-had to pick something from work)
wiz (added this as a joke; at the time I picked this screen name I had just gotten the job and was faaaarrrr from being a wiz at it!!!)

this was interesting reading how everyone chose their screen names, really fun!

[mixedclawzz]

hmmmmm..... How do I explain this? Oh, I know -- I'm boring and it's just my name. LOL

Nikki Epperson

I'm so original!

I feel like an idiot. I always read your name as Nikkie Person. I totally never paid attention to the 2nd p. Duh.


I have had mine for years even before I was a mommy. I used to have REALLY long nails and everyone said I had claws. People started calling me claws. When I started getting online I just added the mixed(since I am mixedaced) and there you have it.
I am getting really tired of it tho and have been going by MissJ lately. I want to change it to that but I think it may be too much trouble.
I have been using Miss J on the FOB2Y challenges and couldn't figure out why I wasn't getting my SRP! DUH. I swear I am such a moron sometimes. :o

[scrappinsweetie]

someone said i was a sweet scrapper and it kinda stuck. that's how i ended up with scrappinsweetie

[Laura_A]

Boring... first name & last initial.

My 1st ever screen name in the scrapping community was "scrappin4R&R" which kinda had a 2-fold meaning. R&R as "rest & relaxation" and R&R as "Riley & Regan". BUT, I decided it was easier to just be the same everywhere, so Laura_A it is.

[lauren grier]

tis my name..

but once upon a time (ok and sometimes I still do.. randomly)

I used mufakenie-- and since my name is wicked boring.. I'll explain mufakenie instead :D :D


it was a really dorky recipe I made once (supposedly it tasted good though I couldn't eat it due to some things I put in it)

it was a cross btwn muffins cake and brownies.. you see where I'm going..
MUF(fin)(c)AKE(brow)NIE

see.. I'm pretty lame LOL
mufakenie.. :D I never forget it though :D

[Andrea Gourley]

People who come from my part of the UK have a nickname of 'Geordies'. If you come from Birmingham you are a Brummy, Liverpool are 'Scouser', Sunderland 'Mackams' , Newcastle 'Geordies' etc. I have no idea WHY we are called Geordies but we are. And I am a Geordie girl :thumbup: I'm also Andrea on loads of forums but I think someone had 'stolen' my name over here :p

[webseitler]

My last name is Seitler (pronounced "Sight-Lur") and once upon a time ago my husband used our domain (before I took it all over) for his web design business. He called it [web]Seitler and I liked the user name. And it also helps people pronounce our last name. ;) Plus, I've heard that it sounds like a real word in German ("web site maker"--which was the point in the first place). :D

[meems]

I feel like an idiot. I always read your name as Nikkie Person. I totally never paid attention to the 2nd p. Duh.
LOL I was reading it as Nikkie P Person

[meems]

oh I didn't explain mine. it's just a nickname for my name. (i think that's pretty obvious)

[Nikki Epperson]

LOL, maybe I should have my name in my siggy :) :)
