GTKY: Explain your username!

[those3words]

Our wedding song was "Chasing Cars" by Snow Patrol.
"Those three words are said too much..."
But we are always joking about what those three words are...like "feed the cat" "wash the dishes" etc.

[pineapplemae]

I grew up in a small beach town that has an obsession with pineapples (going to the Pineapple Festival was a major part of my childhood lol). Mae is part of my middle name. I kind of always wished it was my first name, but it would be weird for me to suddenly demand everyone start calling me that

[Courtniko]

My first name is Courtney. Courtniko is a nickname my mom has called me since I was little.

[skylark002]

My favorite poem. www.poetryfoundation.org/poem/174413

I particularly love the stanza starting what objects are the fountain. The whole poem is about the poet's wonder at a joy so great it is unattainable by humans.

[puffandstuff]

My username on TB was my name and birthdate.

I love the name Mae but we couldn't name DD that because our last name starts with an M and contains an additional M as well, so it was just a mouthful.

This is a great thread...isn't it weird how connected we all are yet we have so many assumptions about who others are IRL? Every time someone posts a pic of themselves I'm all like"that doesn't look like her!" Or at least what I pictured she looked like!
Yogi - thanks for thinking I was a Saint I'm sure my DH couldn't disagree more!

Am I the only one who thought her name meant mother fuckin sunshine?!!!
#Catholicschoolbroad

Not at all...everytime I see the SN in my head that is exactly what I am saying!

[inaya]

My TB sn was MrsDeo, Deo being a nickname my husband had that's part of our last name. I wanted something different here so I googled random baby names... Inaya is an Arabic name that sounded pretty. I think it means something like care/empathy/concern.

Did you know you can easily change your name here? You still have to be tagged with your original name, though, which could make a mess of tagging.

[khopec]

First intial K, middle name Hope and last intial C from my maiden name. It's the SN I use for everything...easy to use and rarely taken.

Bingo.

LO's name is Nora! It is a play on my great grandma's name, Norma, who passed shortly after we announced we were pregnant.

Definitely an excellent choice.  

[acarpediem]

My bump name came from an old school email. When I moved over I wanted something with part of my maiden name. I also highly believe in seizing the moment. My avatar is a cool painting I found in Amsterdam. One of my favorite in Europe so far.

Yeah, I did. There is someone on the parenting board who's name is something with gingy in it, but she changed it so it only displays gingy, which is what she's being tagged as. Except it's tagging me. It's annoying because she's pretty active too so there are lots of tags. I just have to figure out how to say "bitch, step off my name!" without being smeared all over parenting lol.

My bunnys name is peanut and i always call her sweet p I've and my LO birth date.

I changed mine from Mrsthompsontobe which carried from TK and now it represents my obsession with HP and love of wine

I always read your username as "W and sand wine" and sit here like "wtf is sand wine."

Puff and stuff is a bakery in Trinidad with the best currants rolls.

I totally thought your new username was a drug reference. I much prefer that it is a food reference.

[kirabou]

It was impulsive, lol. My name is Kirsten, kir is kinda like car (I guess)... caribou... kirabou... don't think too hard on it, ladies.

[toratoratori]

I was a history major in college, and did my senior research project on Japanese-American internment. As part of my research seminar, we watched Tora! Tora! Tora! I just tweaked it to include my name

[violetrose]

Violet was my great grandmother's name and DD's middle name. Rose is my other great grandmother's name.

[bkroxfan003]

Bk is my first and middle initials. Rox fan=Rockies fan. And I just like 003

[lingchow8655]

When I was a toddler I was mimicking this gymnast on the Olympics and was very seriously into my play world. Apparently i thought she was awesome and loved her moves. Ling chow was her name and it became my nickname. 86 is the year of my birth. 5 is my favorite number but lingchow865 was my knot name so i added an extra 5 when i made a bump account.

[sjshark]

toratoratori, I am. Raised between here and the central valley, the beauty of divorced parents.

Yes it is!

[sweetpies]

gahorseygal I always read your name as "gay horsey gal" and interpreted that you loved gay horses. I'm weird.

[sweetpies]

mrsnorris I always assumed that your DW's last name was Norris.

  No, but if it were I might have to take her name for the awesome first-last combo.

Do you mean because you can change the display but not the username? I was thinking about changing the username and wish I thought of it before I started posting.
