Question What does your User Name mean?

Following on from BillsGirl's thread, there are some unusal User Names on this site which probably have an interesting story behind them (Hey, PrincessPerky??? LOL). Not so mine, it is just the first 3 letters of my christian name and the first 3 letters of my surname. Apart from the "d" it almost spells my christian name "Sharon".

Anyone else care to share?

Mine is from a trip to Mexico. Lorenzo is slang for crazy man, but it's also the spanish name for Lawrence. So I'm a "Crazy, crazy man"...24 for my age.

Default Re: What does your User Name mean?

I went to the University of Minnesota way back when, and the school mascot is a gopher. So my then boyfriend called me Little Gopher. He became my now husband, and I called him Big Gopher, even though he didn't go to the U of M (makes no sense, but what can I say about young love...) Well, we still continue to use these nicknames 26 years later, despite the eye rollings and giggles of our four gopherettes, and we still hail from the great state of MN. Probably more than you wanted to know!

When I was in kindergarden my peers couldn't say my name, Christopher, so they said Fiffer; I guess it just stuck.

My usual sign on is taxchyk. Did taxes during "the season" for 5 years whilst working full time, hence taxchyk. BF is sumchyk, from when she was in accounting.

My father-in-law (everyone calls him Robbie) is great at woodworking. When his kids were little he would make them wooden toys and print 'robex productions' on the bottom...I took 'robex' from him.
