I have been thinking of starting this fun/nonsense thread for a few weeks, and a conversation some of us had today finally lit a fire under me to do so. I see some pretty unique screen names here and wonder sometimes how to pronounce them and/or where they came from.
I'll go first, althought it's fairly obvious how to pronounce. In my early teens I dyed my very long, very straight hair jet black. (Yes, I was punk... what you now call Goth, I guess. Still am at heart!) Anyway... I looked a little like Elvira, since her and I share one very large attribute other than the long black hair  . (Hers was a wig though!) My real name is Melissa, so some people started calling me Melvira. Nothing too fancy there. Anyway... if you have an interesting or unique name or a story to explain how you got it, I'd love to hear it. Also... there are some that I am dying to know how to pronounce!! What's the one that keeps me up at night...? sure, when I'm awake I can't think of it, but I wake up in the middle of the night trying to figure out how to say it! Ergh... I'll think of it!! |

Great thread! I've been wondering about some of them. If you look at my pics, mine becomes pretty obvious.  |

Mine is from a song by the Spin Doctors ( rock/pop group from a few years back).
My hubby says I have to be right, so it's Lil Miss Can't Be Wrong. I see a couple of you are approaching 30 this year, too. Is it as scary for ya'll as it is for me??
Moydear, I thought you had YEARS of ( age) experience on me!! Your cakes are gorgeous! I SO envy you!! |

Dude! I'll be 30 this year as well! crazy scary.
Lilypie is the very first nickname my very first boyfriend gave me (many moons ago). it was around the time i got my first e-mail address, and while I soon broke up with the psycho stalker boyfriend, i already had a few e-mail addresses... and a website... etc.

Everyone keeps calling me a young pup still!
Yes thirty is giving me a lot to think about! I actually had a will drawn up this last year because I felt that we needed one!
I find myself saying remember when we were so and so age!
Thanks for the kind words! |

Mine is simple - Z Mama. Kids are Zack and Zoey.
Another I use and love actually has a story. SameDayDiffSheet
Play on the old Same S***, Different Day. In drawing, I would just go and go, using more paper in a day then most were using in a week. My Prof (and mentor) was joking with me about it, and Same Day Diff(erent) Sheet was born. |

Okay - first I was in on the other topic today that prompted this thread - if you hadn't started it I would have LOL!
Second - you folks are making me feel OLD! Okay - I'm not that old, born in '69, but still...
Third - my screen name was a business name that I thought I liked, but I am not really thrilled with it anymore - but I am up over 200 posts so no way I will be changing it now! I figure I'm just not going to have a business name, although on one thread someone came up with Boston Frostin', which I LOVED. So if I ever decide to go for a real business with a name and everything it will be that. 
Lilmiss - love yours! And Zoomi is a totally cool nickname - I never really had a cool nickname  |

I've had my screen name forever it seems. I live on the Lake here in Washington State and have for over 20 years so I came up with ladyonzlake. My last name starts with a "Z" so I plugged that in there too.

Mine seems pretty obvious. I use it on a few forums that are kid related, so when I signed up I just kept it.
Berry - for strawberry
Blonde boys - for my two sons...
However... my older son's hair is now more of a honey blonde (in the sun you see all the red) and my younger son is too red to be called a strawberry blonde, his hair is the color of a copper penny - same color as my husband's beard.
And good thing he touts that red beard, because I'm a dark blonde and his hair is BLACK and it probably thwarts some people asking where the red came from! LOL (though several people in our family have red hair - just not us).
