Well mine is pretty straight foward. I got the name when i was working as an intern at a hotel some years back and it was given to me by one of the worst guests the hotel ever had. He complained about EVERYTHING!!
Anyway to cut to the chase, he thought i told him my name was caramel when i told him it was katrina and since then caramelchef stuck with me and everyone else

How nice to see this thread revived. I neverr did see it before; I just finished reading all 20 pgs - took me 1/2 the day:(
Some very interesting information.
Of course mine is very easy to pronounce and understand. DH came up w/the spelling.
As for 'personal info'.......I seem to be the oldest...
pushing 68 later this yr; Married 48 yrs; 2 DDs and 2 GSs; one 4 legged GD.
I retired from decorating about 2 1/2 yrs ago due to needing to care for my DH. We travel a lot but have a home in northern IN. We are currently in central CA & will be heading to KY around Oct for a couple of months.
I love helping out on this site....encouraging new decorators, sharing what I learned in my 25+ yrs of decorating. |

My name is kind of an inside joke back from my freshman year of high school. My friends and I were all in the same Latin class and when we started studying Roman mythology we decided to give ourselves "Goddess" names. We were nerds, what can I say? Amy = Amia. My friend Nicolle was Nicola (rhymes with Ricola). Nicolle and I still use these nicknames. The 1024 is my birthday -- Oct. 24. |

Narie is very simple. When my godson was a toddler, he did the best he could with my name- which is Anna Marie- and it came out --Na --rie. |

Okay, I've now sat here reading this thread WAY too long, when I should have been in the kitchen!!! This is great!!
My name is Launa...it doesn't get more exciting than that! My dad heard the name when the Army sent him to Hawaii and he came back and here I was 9 months later! I have no idea what the name means....not sure I want to know!!
Dear Hubby is a pastor and we've been married 23 years. I'm 43 and he's 49. We have six kids ages 20 - 6. Three boys and three girls! Been homeschooling for 16 years now, just have 4 to teach this year as the two oldest have graduated.
Started decorating 2 years ago and am completely ADDICTED!! We've all gained a few extra pounds because of it, too!!
Looks like we've got some catching up to do since I read that someone had 7 and another had 8 kids....sorry, but I have no brain cells left to remember your names!!!
Have a great weekend everyone!!

I posted way back there somewhere but have to step in here and claim my honors as the oldest here on CC (as far as I know) since I'll be 72 in a couple of weeks.
My name is self-explanatory, and if I had been able to maintain a business, its name was to be Jan-Ices Cakes, but I have arthritis and am not able to bake/decorate very much now! I do love CC though!
I have three children, three grandchildren and one great grandson.
This is definitely a fun thread, glad somebody picked it up again! Janice |

I worked at a bank with someone that had the same initials as mine - JMO - and another employee that had the initials JO. Because we would initial documents and transactions that we approved, I started using my first initial of my first name and the first two letters of my last name - JO'C - to avoid confusion. After awhile I dropped the apostrophe and became JOC.
When my oldest son was in high school, he ran on the track and cross country teams. He won a lot of medals and trophies, so I became JOCMOM1 (#1 jock's mom) when we set up our screen names online. |

When I first needed an email name I wanted Linneylou, my name is Lynn and my brothers call me Linneylou as a nickname, but it was already taken. I even added a number after it and all the way through linneylou29 was taken. That was several years ago so its probably up to 999 by now. Any way I wanted an original name and that's really hard. But thanks to my MIL I got it. She made up words to describe things and one of the words she made up was peajib, to describe something small. When my husband gave me a teacup chichuachua for Christmas 2002 she only weighed 8 ounces at 6 weeks, and I said "she's just a little peajib"', that stuck and it's her name, but we call her Jibbies most of the time.
That's her in my Avatar.

most people think I have misspelled my screen name. it's the first 2 letters of my oldest childs name, the middle letters of my middle childs name and the last letters of my last childs name. I've used it for 13 years for EVERYTHING! |
