[pdx39]

I live near PDX airport and am 39 years old.

 

[Elizabeth]

It's my middle name.

 

[sabbathstorm]

Well my name is a reflection of myself and my partner. He's always used Storm as a screen name/character name for as long as I can remember. I'm the peaceful, laid back one so I ended up with Sabbath to reflect that. Sabbathstorm just looked right when we made up the email addy.

[bobo_daclown]

I don't really know when I came up with Bobo, but I use two Bobos and a me to describe my personality. This just stuck and I have used it to hack and on CB radio, etc.

 

[Weird Harold]

One day, about 34 years ago...

at the height of Bill Cosby's popularity as a comedian, a friend said, "Harold, You're Weird!" The rest is history.

 

[KillerMuffin]

My name is Muffin. I come by "Killer" honestly. No, not in the actually killed a person sense, but in the go for the throat, irrational explosions sense.

 

[Mtn Rebel]

I live in The Southwestern Mtn's of Va. and Rebel was part of my Excite chat room name hence Mtn Rebel.

 

[morninggirl5]

My name comes from a comment Michael Waltrip made to me at Charlotte in Oct. 2000. When i originally typed it in i didn't pay close enough attention and thought the l5 was a 15, thus the 5 instead of the correct number 15.


There have been several threads about this where you could find answers for others, but search still isn't working correctly. I tried to dig them up and couldn't.

 

[koalabear]

I liked duckbillwhatamacallits but couldn't spell it. Soooo...

My name reflects three important people in my life:

The girlfriend who introduced me to Lit (for the writings);

The man I am in love with (thanks to Lit!); and

A friend from overseas who gave me strength this year when I needed it.

My av's keep changing but either reflect a version of "me" or pictures that represent my feelings.

 

[obstinate fawn]

I got my name from MSN. Once when applying for membership to a community, I couldn't think of a name and had the option of letting the manager (?) of the community choose one for me; hence, obstinate fawn. I shorten it to

fawn

 

[~melia~]

It's my real name...sort of. Melinda

 

[Basia]

My sister-in-law's best friend was prego at the time and didn't know what the gender of the baby would be. The three of us were flipping through the baby name book and Basia cought my eye.

 

[SINthysist]

I borrowed it from some philosopher dude, Hegel maybe...

A_J suggested it and Cheyenne liked it...

Now my previous names, well, there's a tale in that one...

 

[AStormyOne]

2 reasons

1) When I was born, my dad wanted to name me Stormy Weather. He said I looked like a storm waiting to happen. My mom stood her ground, and said no way. But I have always loved the name Storm, and use it whenever possible.

2) I am passionate, in everything I do, no matter if I am gentle, like a summer storm, or ferocious. I put all my heart into it. The name Storm fits me.

 

[SINthysist]

Stormy Weathers

Judd Nelson played a lawyer with that name in a movie called "Shoot from the Hip." I liked the movie.

 

[Wiggles]

Well, when I stumbled on to this neat erotica sight, I just didn't think I'd have to have a real thoughtful name......

Wiggles is just an adjective
I like wiggling my butt, so
the rest is history...............

 

[daughter]

wannabe writer

My penname is Rasputin’s Daughter. I chose my name because I identify with the mystic’s struggle with his spirituality and his sexuality. Felt the name fits the genre and my personality.

Peace,

daughter
