[scrappylibrarian]

Well, I am a scrapper and I am a librarian. It says nothing about my level of toughness- "scrappy" not so much.

[OrianaVianey]

Nothing Original here... is my real name

[MovieStar]

Wanted to bump this one up again. Fun to read through! Maybe some of our new ScrapGirls will share about their username too.

[Sharebear57]

Laura (Terebinthtree), if you read this, please post. I have been dying to know what your s/n is about!

[sfcgijill]

sfcgijill= SFC G.I. Jill (Sergeant First Class G.I. Jill) ----- currently in my 22nd year in the Army

[ruralscrapper]

I live in the country so equals rural scrapper... pretty straight forward I guess

[Eliz]

Mine is easy... I cut my first name is half.

[MADscrapper]

Nothing too exciting here either. MADscrapper is just my initials with scrapper next to it.
"MAD" adds a little mystery to it though. MAD could mean many things.

Mary

[Leigh Ann]

Mine's also very uninspired. My name (first and middle cause I go by both), first initial of my last name, and the number 2 only because it was already taken, as well as 1. It goes back at least 12 years.

[TallCool69]

Mine is from one of my favourite songs back in the 80's, when I was an exchange-student in the US.
"Tall Cool One" by Robert Plant.

69 is the year I was born.

I've used this nick for yeras.

[Terebinthtree]

How’d I get my user name? Well…

Back when we first started homeschooling in 1995, dh and I had to come up with a name for our school. Dh was very into wood working and wanted some kind of tree in the name. We found mentioned in the Bible that Abraham rested under terebinth trees. We liked that, so our school name became Terebinth Academy.

When I went to get an email for our school, Terebinth_Academy was taken, so I used Terebinthtree instead. The name stuck and I’ve used it ever since.

Terebinth trees are still around in the Middle East. The tree is similar to an oak tree.

[Ro]

Ro.

Used to avoid confusing people.

Used so that they would know who to blame, who to ask questions of, who to throw purple confetti at if they get tired of all of the purple here at Scrap Girls (which, by the way - in case you don't have a monitor that sees the color correctlyy - is actually a pinky color not a blue-purple! If you print it out on a good printer, you will see what I mean...)

Ro

Actually, shortened version of my real name - Rozanne - which nobody can get right. The X in the Paxman keeps migrating over there and messing it up. Then people get embarrassed because they get it wrong. If I don't correct them, they get embarrassed that I didn't tell them bout it. So Ro keeps everyone from getting embarrassed.

Ro

Easier to type. Since I type so much, that is a good thing.

Ro

I now have the name RO hanging on my wall, so that means that is is permanent. If you have something hanging on your wall, it has to be permanent right?

Ro

[CFPMom]

I was a CFP (Certified Financial Planner) first, a mom second.

Now that I am a stay at home mom and no longer in the financial services industry, maybe I'm just trying to hang on to a little piece of the old me? I'm proud to be a mom!

[sfcgijill]

sfcgijill

SFC= Sergeant First Class
G.I. Jill= I've been called that since high school ROTC. It was pretty unusual to see a girl in ROTC then- very very common now.

I was GI Jill years and years before Demi Moore tried to be a GI Jane. (ha! I laugh at that movie! best military comedy since Stripes!)



I've been sfcgijill ever since I first logged on the internet. Tried to change many times, nothing else really fits.

[MovieStar]

I am so glad this thread got pushed up again. We were just talking about this the other night in a chat.

Elizabeth

[CindyB]

Love this thread!!!...
Nothing too creative here...first name, last inital Duh

[staceycanada]

I have only ever had 2 screen names staceycanada used most often and really says it all. It's me and I live you guessed it in Canada.

The other screen name I have used is ecestudent2004. I was going back to college at the time and was supposed to graduate in 2004. I was diagnosed with cancer and had to leave school. I haven't gotten back yet. But I will be come September. I am now Cancer free!!!

[hyper.mum]

Ive been using my username for about 2 years now before that was my first initial and last name but decided it was time for a change ... so hyper.mum was created as Im very hyperactive and Im a mum

[Becca]

My ID is 3*little*dragonflies.

Originally, I started using this ID as my Ebay ID. I'm a total Ebay addict. Ever since I started using this ID for Ebay, I've pretty much stuck with it on any new ID I need for internet nicknames.

But the original idea came from having 3 children of my own (I also have 2 step-daughters) and my love of dragonflies.

DH is trying to convince me to get a tattoo of 3 little dragonflies, but I'm still not sure I like the idea of being THAT attached to it.

[Susan Neff]

Fun thread! I'm glad it "reappeared" for us newer folks!

On other message boards I was "sneffy." That was created when I opened up a new email account and wanted a slight variation from my name (S. Neff), because an initial and last name supposedly makes it easy for people to send junk emails. So sneffy became a nickname - and it's cute when my friends use it.

But when I came here, I just decided to be myself.

[ruralscrapper]

I love hearing how everyone came up with their screen names. I'm so glad this one resurfaced again!

[Ngaire]

Mine is my name. But as I have discovered not an easy one to pronounce. The best way to say it is Ni ree.

[photocrazy]

I'm photo-crazy. Crazy about photographs!

[Tigerbaby1981]

I got the screen name tigerbaby when I got a tattoo of a baby tiger and 1981 is the yr i was born

[Imputed Designer]

I love to design, so a few years ago when I began making cards for people I wanted to put something on the back that let them know I created it just for them(without putting my name on it) but also acknowledging that the ability to create was a gift from HIM ... so HE brought the name Imputed Designer to mind.
The verse in 1 Corinthians 4:7 says it all. To HIM be the glory!

Thanks to all for sharing~
Brenda

[April Showers]

Thanks for your stories. I was really wondering about some of those screen names.
I couldn't tell you how many times I've heard "April Showers" instead of my name growing up. Can't believe even teachers thought they were being original. But in my early 20's, I decided to Embrace it. First on the cake for my Bridal Shower- where I had my mom pipe "April's Shower."
Now I just smile.
And never tease anyone about their name.

[shawnabs]

This is great! Thanks for getting it going again.

Mine is kinda boring but has been around a long time. My maiden name began with a B and thru school the teachers always took role call by last name/first name so my pals started calling me BS (why my friends thought this was a neat nickname I'll never know!).

Well....BS isnt exactly something I prefer to be called. So when I got married, my new last name began with an S so I combined the two initials and added it to my first name for Shawna B S

Lots of people read it as Shawn abs--boy do I wish my abs were something to write about! LOL

[DarleneH]

Note to Thao: OMG, all this time I thought "His" was referring to your DH! I love your screenname even more now!

As for me... very boring... I really am Darlene H.

[ningwulan]

this thread's interesting!
mine's just the last syllable from the 1st word in my name plus the 2nd word in my name - which is also the name i go by everyday. quite a common javanese name in indonesia, and put together, they mean 'on the moon' or 'ms wulan'.
oh yeah, most indonesians do not use first or last names, which is kinda a problem when we register online!
