A Gardeners Forum Forums Members History Forum Life 2005 Just curious....

I have been looking at all the names that we have chosen on the forum and I have gotten curious. Just how did we all come up with our "handles"?

I chose "Dixie Angel" because I live in the south and I am a(n) (Fallen) angel. Seriously...I named my furbaby "Lil Lady Dixie Angel". I just sort of took her name as my own for forum identification.

What about you all?

jiffymouse is a conglomeration of my initials (jfe) and minnie mouse (my cb handle)

i picked it when i was on aol, and it stuck!

Bestofour, I have 3 sisters. Need I say more?

"Merme" is the childhood name my family and closest friends have always used for me. I accidently gave it to myself at age 2.

People would ask "What is your name?" and I'd point to myself and say "Mary, Me!" but I said it so quickly (we all speak too fast!) it sounded like "Mare me."

Merme

SN = Simply Nurtured

That is what I call my doula services...

I can't tell you, it's a secret!!

My husband gave me my name when we were first married. "Ranee" means Queen in some African language ( I have long forgotten which one). And my first name is Renee'. Thus my name is Queen Renee' . I love my name so much I use it for EVERYTHING!

ah shucks Weezie,I've always wondered.

The only Weezie I've ever seen was Mrs.Jefferson.

I am duckie simply 'cause I've always loved ducks.
And by golly one day I'm gonna have a whole flock.


duckie

I have been wondering the same thing dixie! lol! but the reason I chose my name though is because Jamie is my first name and I just added Miss in the front of it now weezie ya gotta tell us what your name is!! I'm wondering toooooo!!

Well, the first part is me, myself, and I... Kiki is my internet/computer co-navigator; he sits here with me either on my lap or by the monitor, and tries to bat the cursor on the screen. He's also been known to attempt typing on many an occasion......

ummm...

Well I started as Nana8 - way back in 99 or so- then my fertile children kept giving me more grands - so now I am up to 15 as of tomorrow... so If I knew how to change it or modify it here I would --- LOL!
DIL went to hospital today and they will deliver the twins at 7 am--- they are very early and going to be very little but Dr's are saying all is well so I am trying really hard to believe that and not worry.... we are going to have 3 babies withen 6 weeks of each other...tired already!

Catlover says it all! You know how it went the last time I started guessing on something.....you know my mind can reach!!!

no no it was Weezer.

I love that movie too.

My little girl's name is Shelby.

My Daddy called me giggiburr when I was a little kid- sort of a twisted version of my name- Ginger. First it was Gingiburr, then it changed to giggiburr, and my initials are GG, so it became geegeeburr. BTW, I have online friends who've known me for like 6 years now who still call me Geegee.

Merme- In my head, I've been pronouncing your name wrong-- I thought it was "Merm" like mermaid.

I was doing pottery at the time I signed up, and since planting and pottery were my 2 favorite things to do the name popped up.

( )

I wish Barley would post on this thread because I do NOT understand that screen name at all and keep wondering if it is a plant?

And oh Geegee, you were close. Sometimes my family does shorten Merme into a one-syllable name as you suggested, but they keep the "a" sound, so it is "Maremmm" rather than "Mare-me".

Good to see you back, my friend!

Merme

this is actually the second go around for this thread...and in the first one, barley explained her name. I don’t remember if the first go around was pre- or post- crash though, so I don’t know if it would be somewhere in the archives but, I know, and I know why Weezie is Weezie too, but I’ll let her tell you!

I'm sorry if this topic seems redundant.
All I know is it was pre- me! I think!!!

I am finding it interesting to see the different replies. I would have never guessed how to say Merme's name if she had not posted. I've been calling her something else in my head.

Please dig the topic up if it is in the archives. I would like to know (yes, I'm nosy and curiousity killed the cat) how Weezie got her name. I have looked and cannot find it. <img border="0" alt="[perplexed]" title="" src="graemlins/confused.gif" />

Dianna

Yep, we'd asked Barley when she first joined,
it was quite the different name.....
It was quite cute too!

Her dad's name is quite different too!!!


And if I told you the meaning of my name,
I'd have to k*ll you !!!)

Weezie

So....I will die either way? Think I will just live in ignorance. I wouldn't want to see you in prison just cause I was nosy!

Dianna

I have a bad breathing condition ???

I have used my imagination and somehow that never even crossed my mind! We will let you keep your secret, Weezie. Just don't be surprised if we fill in the blanks!

Dianna

gosh...mines kinda boring..linda, my name...1/21/59..birthdate, i had to make it simple so i dont forget!
KISS= keep it simple stupied!!!!
works for me!
Linda

I seem to remember Sarah (Barley) saying that Barleychown is a play on words on the name...

CHARLIE BROWN!
