How did you chose your forum name?

[BCHGRL]

Ima, I think your name is cute especially with the little snoopy character. It is always very cheerful to see your name pop up.

My name on another forum was FLBCHGRL. I shortened it to BCHGRL. I'm a Florida girl that loves the beach. Can't imagine life without crystal blue-green waters nearby. Even during a bad week, the grocery store that I shop has a perfect ocean view from the parking lot. I figure life doesn't get much better than that!

[TinyFish]

I use my name on other forums, where we talk about aquariums. Unlike a lot of other aquarists, I prefer small fish in big tanks. Hence the name. I've found it nicknames well to 'Tiny', which is very appealing. I try to win folks over to appreciating small fish. 'Once you've had tiny, you'll never be whiney!'.

Other places I sometimes use 'E!', which is what some friends call me. (Say 'E' in a perky voice and you've got it). In geek-speak that is 'e-bang', but that leads to misunderstandings... Shame, because it is a very cool name!

[PrincessPerky]

When I was in highschool I was remembered as 'small but perky' any underage skip the explination here, (6ft tall but, I had a small chest, though perky, they grew.)

I used perky then on the old message boards and the 'newfangled ICQ' it was taken here as many places so....

DH calls me princess, I just combined them. At the time it never occured to me it might be rude or pretentious, I just was tired of trying names that didn't work.

I find it hard to believe anyone would think your name was rude or pretentious, but then, almost anything might offend someone somewhere.

Until you set me straight (in another thread) my impression of your name was Gidget, Mary Tyler Moore, and Princess Toadstool. Exactly the opposite of rude or pretenscious. So you never know how people will react. That's one reason I prefer to use a name that sounds real but isn't -- in this case Mathew Green.

Dh likes to call me Shelby instead of my given first name & dh's nn online & in hs was melvin/melby

& ShelbylovesMelby

[LuckyRobin]

Lucky is a combination of the initals of my first name L, DH's first name C, and Rose's first name K. T wasn't born yet, so he's not in it. So lck became lucky, because we were and because it fit. And it puts a positive spin on things for me when I sometimes want to be a pessimist. I remind myself that so much of my life has been lucky. Robin is a shortened form of my last name, but a lot of people call me that anyway as its what they remember. I've only ever not been able to use it on yahoo. Everywhere else I've never run into it and always been able to use it.

[rusty@saving]

my nickname as long as i can remember has been rusty. when i got here, i couldn't save worth anything...
hence the name, rusty@saving. i figured you wouldn't have to be a MENSA member to figure it out...but maybe a MENSA member might think to hard about it....
it has been cool to hear everyone's explaination to there name, and perky, i never thought your name was over the top, i just thought it was a name from your husband or something

[Ima saver]

Well, rusty, I hope you won't be rusty at saving for too long.
