Growing up I had a group of girlfriends that were a few years older than me. They always had "cool" nicknames for me and I thought it was cool that they included me in their fun. So, my nicknames were Terra Cotta (as in the clay), Teradactyl (like the flying bird dinosaur) and Tiramisu (the coffee cake dessert). My fav was Terra Cotta but I wanted it spelled like my name so I changed it over the years to Taracotta. Then I added 7 because that was my favorite number as a kid and it just has stuck around. I have NO idea why it was my favorite! LOL Taracotta7 is NEVER taken on forums so it works.

BTW.....I am still called those nicknames by those girls. We have remained friends for over two decades!

Yes, the Catskills are gorgeous I adore NY and would love to move back to my hometown area, but it's just so dang expensive. And I would not want to deal with the commute into the city everyday, which is where I would most likely have to find a job. We got married back there this past fall and it was just perfect

mine is fairly obvious, I of course made it up when I only had 3 kids so it's actually a pretty ridiculous username now, but I won't change it because I use it EVERYWHERE and I just know I'd forget to change it somewhere and when I would try and go and sign in I'd get that damn "error" message and it would just tick me off to no end!!! So I'll just go on denying my last 2 children till the end of time ....at least on the internet!!!

Mine is super boring- Amber is my first name and my last name initial is K. Im so not creative when it comes to usernames.

Although- when I signed up for an online dating site where I ultimately met my husband my mom came up with flygirl74 because she had gotten me a piece of amber with a fly that was inside of it therefore flygirl and 74 is the year I was born. But I didnt like it because guys got the wrong idea and I surely wouldnt consider myself "fly" as the slang term goes! LOL!

Mine is just mine name..but I am quite happy with that. I transitioned to digital scrapping by making signature tags over on the MSN boards before they closed. I ran my own group for years. The tagging community knows me as RebelChick-->Rebel because I just do my own thing and don't follow the crowd and Chick so that everyone would know I was a girl.

Mine is simple. I am a Mom and I used to be a HUGE gamer. Not so much these days but my husband still works for the Xbox Team so it still seems fitting. Oh yeah and all my kids play xbox as well.

I have no creativity with usernames so mine is the first 3 letters of my first name, the first 3 letters of my last name and the 75 has absolutely no meaning. I'd loved to change it but I have no clue what I'd change it to AND to try and change it everywhere would be a total pain, so I live with it.

It's my name and it's usually available on forums when I sign up. When it's not, I add my last initial (S).

This is the coolest thread ever!

My name is Kjersti so I chose that as my user name! Most people have no clue it's my real name since it's spelled so weird with that dang silent "J". My mother just wanted to TORTURE me my whole entire life!!!!! ROFL.

Wow I would NEVER have figured out your user name!! lol

Mine is pretty self explanatory ... "Sharon" was taken on any of the digi scrapping forums ... and my middle name is Kay ... thus Sharon Kay ... which my mom likes because that is what she calls me.

I figured your first name started with K ... and Jersti was your last name. I have never seen this spelling before. Moms! lol

My kids names are "common" ... so easy to spell and easy to find things with their names on it in stores.

Thanks again.

To all who think using their real name as user name is boring - if I wasn't so used to Helen Vader I'd be sure to use Adrianka instead. My real name is Adriana. Adrianka is the diminutive form that I've used for years as signature on my graphic layouts (also owned the domain adrianka.sk for a year, but wasn't able to do anything with it, as I already had and was using helenvader.net). I like it; it's just I'm too used to my virtual persona using the Helen variant instead!

Kjersti is beautiful! At first I thought you were Scandinavian because of that name. I do pronounce the "j" in my mind as [kyersti], with Swedish accent and all, and believe me it's lovely that way. :-)))

When I first started hanging on the net.. I used Boo Boo Kitty (from Laverne and Shirley..it's her stuffed black cat) for a long time..then shortened it to BBK when I joined babycenter in '98.

So when I started digiscrapping in '05 I needed something a little more "grownup" or something easier to remember.. so it became lisabranka.

Lisa for my first name, then the first two letters in the names of the rest of my family. Many people figured my last name was Branka because my last name does start with a B LOL

love these kind of threads

We lived a block away from a 7-11 when I was in Univ., and we went for slurpees pretty much every day, so I became known as the slurpeegirl (because they make me so hyper) ... and 13 is my family's lucky number.

Oh, thank you so much!!! Most people in the States pronounce it "Kajerstee". My great great granparents are Scandinavian. My grandmother spoke Swedish and her mother (who I was named after) didn't speak any English at all!!

Mine's pretty simple, but has a cute story. Some of you might know Genevieve, she used to designs as Sweet Genevieve. Well, she & I are really good friends IRL. Actually, she's the one that got me started into digiscrapping. Well, her husband was making fun of us one day when we were talking about digiscrapping & he was like, "Y'all need your own show, & you can call it 'Digiscrapping w/Sweet Genevieve & Digideb'." So, that is where I got my user name. Obviously my name is Debbie & a lot of people just call me Deb.

I always wondered how to pronounce it! Now, I'm glad to know that I'm one of those million people who pronounced it Kajerstee. lol But, I knew it couldn't be right. & darn mothers! lol

I know Sweet Genevieve! I mean, not personally, but I can remember her designs. Good story. :-)

So I guessed it right, it *is* a Scandinavian name! :-) I totally love Swedish, I learned it during my university studies just for fun. Forgot most of it by now as I had no opportunity to use it. But Kjersti really sounds beautiful with Swedish pronunciation - that language has a most wonderful melody. :-)

LOVE this thread, LOL!!


Mine is GATOR (g8r) Beckie...
My hubby and I are both Florida Gators...as in the University of Florida. So I certainly couldn't have any type of username that didn't pay homage to my beloved Florida Gators!

problem is...I realize now that people not into sports (or in the US)...frequently read it as GR8 (like GREAT beckie), not GATOR beckie

Mine is my first name and an abbreviated version of my last name. I think it's just easier to use a "real" name.

Another boring one here with an "L" for my first name, and my last name "Tarbox." I have had people tell me, though, that they read it as "litterbox." And, a lot of people also turn the "L" into an "i." But, I can see how that's a really easy mistake to make.

Kjersti - I LOVE that spelling of your name, but I can see how it could be a pain too. I have a friend named Kjrstin. We always just called her K.J.

Mine came to be when I opened an online store on hyenacart.com where I sold premade scrapbook albums (traditional sb). I was reading a writing curriculum book for work and the author talked about telling the kids that writing doesn't have to be about anything huge, but to use the small moments of every day. I thought it was perfect b/c that's what scrapbooking is about for me, too. I don't have the store anymore... but the name transferred over from traditional to digital scrapbooking.

My username came from an online MMORPG game (Everquest) back in 2001. I was creating my character, and some weird name came up with the last part as wena, and I changed it to Ainwena from a randomly generated name from the game. Since then, it has been my username for all my chars in MMORPGs and everything else. I always get funny looks when I tell people my email address. Most of my online friends (who I don't talk to outside of the games) call me Ain . The weird thing is, I answer to it! LOL

I've had my username forevah ~ well at least since I (finally) married my hubby after 10 years of dating him. So my username consists of my initials (gms) and our wedding date (5-9-97). I've been dying for a new cool username, but still haven't gotten around to it. Any suggestions?

If you've ever misspelled my name by putting two Ns in it, you get my username.
Check out my sig if you need another hint.

I have been using this on EVERYTHING since forever, probably at least 10 years. I saw someone's username once that was "KristyYnotI" (Kristy, Y not I) or something, and it sparked the idea for joana-one-N (joana1n). It's awesome b/c no one else uses it.

Fun thread!!!

I love Kjersti, too. And since I have a Norwegian friend with that name I figured it had the "y" sound in there lol.
Love all your stories about your names, ladies.
Mine, unfortunately, is not an interesting story. My full first name is unpronounceable to most everyone in the world lol, and after I moved to the US, and then to China, I decided to simply go for the short version - Sula.
When I first started posting layouts in the gallery, I had no intention of getting any more involved than that, so I didn't think much of a nick name, simply thought: I'm Sula, I'm designing layouts, well, that's it! lol!

When my youngest daughter started college (600 miles away from home), my older daughter had dropped out of school and was working. I wanted a way to keep in touch with my younger daughter, and hotmail has just been introduced.

The college she chose was Le Tourneau University. LeTU + mom. I didn't even think about including anything in my user name that represented my other daughter's school.

Now I've used this sooooo many places: forums, email, facebook. I don't think I could change it if I wanted to.
