Mine is the way I go about my job. And much of the rest of my life too.

Stacey Charter said...

IT USED TO BE "IRISHSTAYC" because I'm Irish and ...um my name is stacey -But when I started my blog and online stuff i switched to my full name. I am enjoying reading what everyone was thinking when they chose their names!

a non a miss said...

@davidsfan I. Love him too, I always read his Christmas book around this time of year.

SashaJames2 said...

Mine is my twitter handle. I left fb ages ago and joined twitter and didn't want people I know finding me online without me giving them my id. So I created an alter ego and chose sasha a name I love, and sasha James was created.

EGB said...

My all time favorite author @davidsfan! I give Holidays on Ice out as a gift all the time!

Silly Girl said...

@obitguy, that's a cool job! How did you get that? Journalism degree, maybe?

Agent**It said...

I thought B.Profane named you Spike Gomes.

EGB said...

@sillygirl, is that you on the nymag site?

Silly Girl said...

@E Gee, I don't know what nymag is. I did comment today on Celebitchy though (wow, those chicks are brutal!)

Roman Holiday said...

@ Mango it gets me everytime:)

@ Silly, truer words were never spoken:)

Silly Girl said...

I left Celebitchy feeling very meangirlishly effected. Not a real word, I know that, but I don't know what else to call it!

EGB said...

@sillygirl, the New York Magazine site, the commenters there are smart and funny, and the sillygirl there "sounds" like you, it was a compliment!

Anonymous said...

Mines my Good friends nickname for me. It kind of fits because I was quite the troublemaker as a kid. Who did that? Katy did.
Astrogirl I love yours. When I was growing up in Australia we watched astroboy all the time I was talking to some friends about it the other day and no one knew what I was talking about, it made me miss home.

Silly Girl said...

I'll check it out, @E Gee!! Thanks for the compliment!

Cornbread said...

@Nap, I always thought it meant you were seriously skilled at napping. :)

Serenity_Now said...

There was already a "Dani", which is my usual handle. And I'd just watched Seinfeld, which I love a lot.

SecondCityKid said...

Because I grew up in Chicago. Second City, and when adults talked to me, they would be like, "Hey, Kid!" =) Especially when I rode my bike on the grass on the other the side of the walk with friends (city property, btw)

Anonymous said...

Serenity now- my co worker and I say that when things get out of hand at work it always makes us laugh and diffuse stressful situations. Seinfeld never gets old....

Lissette said...

My name here is musesx9
9 muses of mythology
Xanadu fanatic

Lissette said...

I have issues with my phone posting. Ugh
I am musesx9 because I was a Xanadu (cheesy 80's skating movie) and AOL had just started. Plus, I'm an English teacher.

EGB said...

@serenitynow, I wish I didn't say this whenever mr be and get into it it...but I totally do. The good news is that he has started to get that when I am saying it, that something may be going on and it is a useful way to end a fight! Love your moniker!

yodelay said...

@DavidsFan, love him too. Going to see him in a couple of months!

Pip said...

My little man is a puggle. Aside from his name (Doogie), we call him PuggleWug or PuggleLicious, among others.

Lissette said...

Cheeky! Love it

Lissette said...

I was (and still am) a Xanadu fanatic (yes, the cheesy 80's movie with rollerskating and all that Olivia Newton John fantabulousness). AOL days, and I am an English teacher.

Lissette said...

by the way, it's musesx9

musesx9 said...

I was a huge Xanadu fanatic (yes, the cheesy 80's rollerskating cinematic accomplishment starring Olivia Newton John in all of her rollerskating fantabulousness). Also, I'm an English teacher.

mooshki said...

Needed a fake name to start a throwaway email account back in '98. I asked my co-worker what I should use, and she said "Mooshki," which was her nickname when she was a kid. It's been my online identity ever since.

Pip said...

Ooh, I love TWOP too! I have mostly been lurking there, started when it was still Mighty Big TV.

Einstein DeGeneres said...

I'm smart and funny and the names sound great together, IMO

feraltart said...

I can be a bit feral & a bit flirty. My husband loves my screen name & I will sometimes read out particularly witty comments from CDan to him. He is totally indulgent if my CDan needs.

Redd said...

redd because my husband and his friends call me red for my formerly red hair, redd so I can be like Redd Foxx!

May Flower said...

My birthday month and something I like that went well together with "May."

Henriette said...

It's my grandmother's name.

Rickatoo said...

A really bad haircut 20+ years ago left me looking like a cockatoo...

Show Don"t Tell said...

@Agent: Unfortunately, the people here are the reason for me wishing to be somewhere else, every single day of my life.

I grew up in the state, in a different area, where people work very hard to survive. I've lived all over the US and really never thought I would end up living here again. There are some hardworking ppl that live here and I will fight until my death to support them. Not many that I have met but the ones that go that extra mile, I will not fail to support them. It's a hard place to find enough work to support yourself, let alone a family.

My husband does not work here and that makes matters that much worse, when ppl find out he works in other states, primary NYC. WE often have ppl tell us to go back to NY if we want work done, especially odd jobs around our home.

Hubby broke his shoulder last week, Thursday. I have had him to the ER twice and to our GP once. I finally have hounded and made a big enough bitch of myself, he will have surgery tomorrow afternoon. He almost had to fly back to the east coast to find a surgeon that was working this week.

I gave up on living here years ago. But I love the elk!

Leah said...

I was a beta tester for Gmail. I didn't want anyone else to get my name, so I grabbed it. Boring, I know.

Agent**It said...

Skyy, I do understand the employment issues, as well as the small town attitude. Believe me. Hang in there, hope hubbie appreciates you and mends quickly!

Crimes Against Bacon said...

Love Toad!

Lelaina Pierce said...

I've often wondered about the background of posters' names, so very informative Your Turn. ;)

I love Reality Bites and all things 1990's.

tamarind said...

Love Indian Food....

Eeekalicious said...

@Bulldog Fart

What a little cutie you are!!

astrogirl said...

katydid where are you from? How long ago did you leave. I watched it too, and Kimba :)

Sis Cesspool said...

I can't wait to read the next question. What is your Social Security number?

Mama Ray said...

When my mom found out she was going to be a grandma for the first time (my brother's) she was trying to think of what she wanted to be called that didn't make her feel so old, when discussing her future moniker we decided some day my grandkids should call me Mama Ray. (Ray being my nickname) I was only 25 at that time. 12 yrs later, I am now a Mom of 3 ages 10, 7 & 3. Hopefully I still have a LONG time left before we find out if it really sticks!

Mama Ray said...

Also LOVE the theme song! Totally sang it in my head! ;)

christine8car said...

My name and ... from a time when I was a huge can't-miss-a-Sunday fan of Dale Earnhardt Jr. when he drove the 8 Budweiser car. I don't even know who he drives for now...

Chrissy Buns said...

Libby, do you still comment on DListed? I love the site, but I can't stand the cliquey comment boards, and they are MEAN! hahaha...I'm a tad thin skinned ;)

KittensRUs said...

Cat rescuer IRL. Among many other things.

All about Eve said...

@pazazz, Iove Jem! And thanks to Netflix I can watch it whenever I want to

All about Eve said...

@ Sunny, love that! Hahaha! You sound like a lot of fun :)

Zeeky_Boogy_Doog said...

Mine's from "The Demented Cartoon Movie" which is a goofy cartoon where stick people keep accidentally blowing up the world. Zeeky H. Bomb is my avatar; he says "Zeeky Boogy Doog!" which makes the world blow up. So don't read my name out loud!

Maja - I have the same problem, and almost the same name! Put an "r" in the middle of yours, and you have mine.

All about Eve said...

Loved reading all the comments, so many interesting stories!

Sunny said...

@fluffy white clouds
You are probably not reading anymore, but I will try anyway. I was very touched by your comment earlier, and appreciate you sharing about that special moment between you and your friend. Much love to you

Alita said...

Shiny Special One was one of the minion's names for Glorificus, wasn't it? For a second I thought it could have been one of Xander's names for Dracula in that funny episode where he got enthralled.

What am I saying .. they were all funny! Well, except at the end when Joss Whedon was all focused on Angel, and they went off a little bit.

Great name though, and Buffy for ever!

Alita said...

I totally agree it's a cool name, but I always read out as 'sick-o' not 'phsyco' but I really hate to pronounce someone's name incorrectly! Really glad to meet you, 's-eye-quo' :)

Alita said...

I wrote you a reply before, which died, and that has happened a bunch of times in the last 48hrs so basically this is a test.

catecanary said...

Thanks for posting! I've been curious about your name for a while - its so cute!

I too am a crazy dog person (aussie mix &dobie/lab) so I love your story

Yndy said...

It's from an old, old usenet name. I was "feeling blue" so indigo with y's... It got shortened over the years. But I've been contemplating the 'CDAN specific' name change lately. Sounds like a good time to do it. New Year, new name. So this is my last post under this ID. But now I have to think of something.

Angelina said...

Mine is a bit boring-- I used to live in Italy and it became my nickname (it is a diminutive of my double-barreled real name). Unfortunately I never use that nickname any more because everyone thinks it refers to... you know who.

SingBlue said...

Used to live in Singapore, and my football (soccer) team plays in Blue, so SingBlue.

No longer live in Singapore but still support the Blues!

ALB said...

Oooh glad you asked ! Mine are my double barrelled married surname, I don't get married until mid 2013 (in LA funny enough..after doing Route 66 for my 40th!) so we may change our mind on double barrelled by then and/or be too knackered to do the wedding!
But back to the point it is a really dull google ID isn't it!!

chachi said...

Because I never got over the fact that he loved Joanie and not me (that would be the 10 year old me who hung out in a polyester pyjama set watching mega tv, hoping against hope to catch a graphic sex scene on "The Love Boat"...constant disappointment - for sure Gopher had the goods).

redronnie said...

Redronnie, has two meanings red for the Liberal Party of Canada, I am a card carrying member. Also, red in the circle of life represents First Nations people, and my hubby calls me Ronnie..my name is Veronica and remember #Idlenomore..

Unknown said...

One of my "Skyrim" characters...a nord.with my real name Bonnie... and a typical nord name is two words...hyphenated. On that file I used a frost enchanted blade...so...bonnie blue-blade

Unknown said...

@catsrus...me too...eight right now ranging from 18 to a year old...also many cages of rats and a blue tongue skink...

You're probably not still looking at this thread.
I'm from Armidale NSW near Tamworth. It won't hurt my feelings if you've never heard of it! I moved to the states in 1992. Are you in Sydney? Happy New Year!

There's no place like plrtz glrb

caydian said...

I'm originally from New Orleans, so...I'm Caydian!
