What is your screename? How did you choose it? What does it mean to you?
My answer: mine is fisherkristina. I chose it because it was my name at the time I signed up. (It's my maiden name.) I guess I wasn't worried about being anonymous, LOL. kristinafisher was taken so I just chose fisherkristina.
When I wanted to change my screename to my married name after I married, AOL informed me that if I wanted to keep my journal name Sometimes I Think, that I would have to start everything anew, and that the entries from the old Sometimes I Think wouldn't carry over to the new journal! So I am still using my maiden name fisherkristina, to keep my blog all in one piece.
I was thinking last night that I was keeping my last name a secret to a degree, then I remembered that my husband John uses the screename johneknox. I think you can figure out my last name, LOL!
Now it's your turn. Tell us how you chose your screename!

good question, Krissy.
ReplyDeleteLv2trnscrb = Love 2 transcribe; I do medical transcription and I enjoy doing it. When I first got it, screennames could only be I think up to 10 characters so that's why it is abbreviated. Now I think they can be longer.
have a good Monday!

I have two screen names one is magicgenii which I rarely use now and the other is made of my own name and initials.
ReplyDeleteThe magicgenii one came from children I taught in my gymnastic club when they thought my name should have been spelled as Genie and not Jeanie. I also had a habit then of saying magic! If one of them learnt a new move. So..I put them both together when I first began to come on line and visit othe folks journals.
Love
Jeanie xxxx
I was joking around with my husband one day and came up with Carolhehe. You see he has a native american name and I decided I needed one. This is it!

Take Care,

Another great subject~here's mine; Linda in snowy & cold Washington state http://journals.aol.com/lsfp1960/LindasWorld/entries/2008/01/28/monday-morning-question/2456
ReplyDeleteWell, my main screen name that I use for e-mails and all that good stuff is SonEnSmilinMon = Sonny (my husband) N Smilin Mon (what people have called me for years - Monica abbreviated).
ReplyDeleteThis one MonicasMemoirs was created for a private journal that I started to write and eventually trashed that journal. I suppose I would've gone back to the main screen name to start the public journal that I'm using now but, I forgot where I was when I created it and now I don't want to move again!
Good question.
Monica

Hi Krissy - my screen-name came out of my love for kids and the fact that we had just been trhough an emotional firestorm in '04 when we moved back to the states from Mexico. Nothing has changed, LOL - so I' thinking of getting another S/N for everything but my journal. Love you my friend, Penny http://journals.aol.com/firestormkids04/FromHeretoThere http://journals.aol.com/firestormkids04/TimeforaLittlePoetry
ReplyDeleteThis has always been a very intersting topic to me. Here is mine>
ReplyDeleteMtDewKd1995 I have the Mt Dew because I love it and Kd because I love children and I couldn't get Kid and the 1995 just because it's numbers that weren't taken!!! lol ~Faye aka The Brat~
ReplyDeleteHi Krissy,
ReplyDeleteMy screen name is my husband's and my first initials and our lastname... so when smudged all together it kind of looks like randal, as if it belongs to a fellow named Randy. Like you, at the time, I wasn't all that interested in staying anonymous either and my husband is too busy for his own email box, so we just share one. He hardly ever uses internet so it works out fine. Hugs,
Lisa
lol not discussing mine at all.
ReplyDeleteMine is my first initial, my last initial, and my zip code. Yup, generated by aol lol -Missy
ReplyDeleteI choose this screen name merry1621, as Merry is my first name, and 1621 is the our street adress. I like my name, because I like the way it is spelled, and I figured using my name and my house address I wouldn't forget it, and wouldn't get sick of it. My other screen names have become a little bolder (perhaps STRANGER) is a better word for them. Thanks for letting me play, Krissy! Merry
ReplyDeleteMy screen name boj stands for "blood of Jesus" gill first 4 letters of last name 43 the year I was born 75 the year I was married. :-) God Bless, Janie
ReplyDeletemy screen name is a nick name my hubby came up for me. My full name is MaryBea.. and he knew I did not like being called that.. took forever to break my family of it.. so out to annoy me he started calling me things with bea in it and one day HoneyBea was one of them. I liked it and it stuck. I used the spelling Huny because the other way is taken alot.
ReplyDeleteOh and the 4 Him is taken off a Christian band's name.. meaning I am 4 Jesus : )
ReplyDeleteMy middle name (my mom's maiden name, weird hispanic tradition) is Preciado, Precious... I know I'm God's PreciousOne, but it was taken. So I started adding number 'til I found one that wasn't taken.... I think I got to 12 before I just JUMPED to 25 and it WASN'T taken, so I grabbed it.... so the 25 means absolutely nothing!! LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteJoann
Mine is Nay0114. It stands for Nay (grandma) which is what my grandson calls me and the numbers at his birthday January 14 the day I first became a Nay. This is the most special title I've held in my life...just love it.
ReplyDeleteTake care, Chrissie

ReplyDeleteI have had my screen name since my daughter was just a toddler. She always loved flowers..when she tried to say flowers...it came out Fowfies (long O sound). I thought that was just cute as could be, so I kept that toddler memory with my screen name all these years. :) She is thirteen now!
