Creative user names

lorrie

I see some unique user names on this board, and I'm curious about what some of them mean. Anyone care to share how they came up their user name?

Don D

Yes, Lorrie, I'll start and am glad you asked. Mine is the name given to me by my mother at birth. But, I might change it. My screen name, not my name.

Parabeaglex2

Sorry. Need-to-know basis only. x;-)

TN HR

Mine is pretty vanilla. I'm in Tennessee and my profession is Human Resources. I'm thinking about changing it to my old radio call sign 3MTA3.

Gene

NaeNae55

NaeNae is a childhood name because my sister could not say Renea. Now my grandchildren use it. Born in 1955. Put them all together....

Don D

Damn Nae Nae! I knew you were older'n me!!

SMace

Contrary to some people's beliefs, I have been one name and one name only. It is very cryptic and I cannot reveal it's essence. Doing so will unleash the contents of Pandora's Box.

HRinNH

I wear the HR hat in our office, though do not have the title or pay, and I live in the beautiful state of New Hampshire.

Hunter1

Hunter's the name of my Springer Spaniel.

Whirlwind

Mine also has canine significance. Whirlwind was my "kennel" name for my one and only litter of Weimaraners, and is in memory of my best baby boy, Whirlwind's Jack of Hearts.

LarryC

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 05-04-05 AT 06:36AM (CST)[/font][br][br]I chose LarryC because I know a guy and his name is LarryC who is the most intelligent, good looking, fantastic person I've ever met and I just wanted to use his name and hopefully be like him someday. I'm almost there too except for the intelligent, good looking, fantastic part.

ritaanz

My first name is Rita and my maiden name started with an "A", ended in a "Z" and had 13 letters. I picked the first 2 and the last one, ANZ.

safety

Part of my job description, someone else already used the screen name I wanted.

Skylyon

Skylyon is based from two different things.
I have blue eyes like the sky.
My sign is a leo and lion is another name for leo so that is where I came up with Skylyon.

Nicole

Your turn lorrie

zen

Y'all remember the mini lecture on Zen drywall? Almost anything, if done in the proper frame of mind, can be turned into a lesson or an opportunity for reflection...I try to learn as much as I can. Former co-workers used the name as a joke - my new co-workers have decided to call me J-Wo. Go figure.

Don D

You got that big butt, right?

lorrie

My first name is Shelby, which is what I go by most of the time. But I was named after my dad, so my mother never called me Shelby, and instead I grew up as Lorrie (short for my middle name Lorraine.) After I moved away to college I started going by my first name, which I love. So I will answer to both names.

marc

marc - my first name, without capitalizing the m. A small m is a much lower profile than the capitalized M.

Keeping the low profile was supposed to minimize the target opportunities.

That part did not work as well as I had hoped.

If I had known this question was going to come up I'd have picked a snazzier name. Mine is simply first initial and last name. Maybe I should change it to hrgoddess, or maybe sheenaqueenofhr (nope, too long).

Linda

HRQ

Linda, see if those are already used... There's a lot of HR royalty out there.

HRQ = Human Resources Queen (Somebody else already used HR Queen)

In a past life, I was often called the "queen" of stuff: colored paper, colored ink pens (no black/blue allowed) etc. I was then dubbed the Queen of all that is HR, which evolved into HR Queen. I've also been called HR Empress, and High Priestess of HR. Probably been called all sorts of things that I wouldn't use as a screen name. x:-8

I certainly do not consider myself royal enough to hold court over my highly esteemed Forum friends, however... x:D

Whatever

When I first signed up for a computer service at home, my daughter gave me the name of Whatever (which sounded a lot better than some of the other names I've been called).

JudyT929

Well my first name is Judy, believe it or not, and my (current) last name starts with a 'T'; and my birthday is September 29 aka 9/29. Guess I wasn't feeling too clever the day I signed on here.

TN HR

And here I thought that maybe you drove a Mazda 929 with T-tops.

JudyT929

nope, Acura Integra with sun roof but wish it was a t-top

I can spell, just can't type worth a S*&%

Don D

Safety: There you go again....thinking of tush and trying to spell just. x:-) I am changing my profile and sign on and am exploring ideas.

One of my employees came into my office after seeing the "No soup for you 1 year!" Seinfeld episode joking around saying "No HR for you - 1 year!"
