I always find it fun to see what usernames show up when I check "Who's Online" and I always wonder how people came up with such great names.

My username is the name of a song by Guns N Roses. Yeah, I guess I'm a late 80's girl, LOL.

What does yours mean to you?

I changed mine recently.

My roommate who passed two years ago had an old cat named, Viscount Ashley of Leftfield. When she passed I took her cats, so I now have Lord Ashley, and I'm Viscountess now. Ash is 17, blind, and crochety as hell!

Ash had a children's literary website and his own facebook with decent traffic before my friend died.

I love the names of your pets , and that was how I recognized your new name.

I have only one cat named Hiro. He was named for the time traveler from "Heros". Loved that show

My name is from a 1976 movie by the same name. The basic plot of the movie was that a person's age was legislated, at a certain age they are willingly executed. Those who do not report, are called runners. The runners are hunted down and executed in their attempts to reach sanctuary. Logan escapes and does indeed reach sanctuary. In essence, I am Logan, a runner, my sanctuary is plan B.

Sounds like my kind of movie. A lot like the "Hunger Games" which I loved!

Mine is self explanitory. I have always been a nice guy. Sometimes too nice lol and I end up being a doormat because of it. I am more balanced now tho and not so much of a nice door mat anymore. Even tho I am still a nice guy I have much more self respect than I used to and don't care as much about what others think of me. Only my wife and kids!

*like!

I'm a competitive Highland thrower. in other words, I throw heavy stuff while wearing a kilt

Here's a thread that others talked about this.
What Does your Handle/Screen Name Mean

I needed a Greek name to match markos.

I needed a Greek name to match markos.

Helen? Aphrodite? Andromeda? Hera? Athena? Clytemnestra? Daphne? Demeter(aka Earth Mother!)?

Mine is related to the name of my first thread, 'Independent behaviour nightmare'. I was logging on to complain about my spouse's IB, but I wanted to express that I wasn�t blameless and could be pretty independent too. It's short for 'independent girl' but since I like indie music and cinema, it means that too.

It was a very rushed decision, but I love it now. If someone called 'Indie' in the street, I would look around!

Oh cool! Lots of good info there about our vets.

Now lets see if we can get our newer folks to chime in. I saw a name on there the other day that I thought..I like that! and which started the idea for this thread It was WiserBud, LOL

I would respond to Prisca the same way

I was here on MB before several years ago...but couldn't remember my previous handle....

I have been thinking of changing my user name to CandyCrushAddict........but then everyone would know I have a problem.

Omg, me too! I hate that game, lol!

*ahem*

Lysistrata.





My name... I believe is self-explanatory.


Rocket: That song is from an excellent album... though the song itself has some tawdry trivia attached to it.

L_R: "Fish, plankton, sea greens... protein from the sea!"

Trip, ignoring (and self-protectively distancing myself from) your "Greek" suggestion, I am here long enough to recall that you were originally "HeadHeldHigh"!

Yes sir.

That was a step in personal recovery, picking my damned head up.

I bet you all can't figure out my name (it's really difficult).

Ummmmmm. Hmmmmmm.

Tawdry, huh? Well, I certainly wouldn't want people to think I'm ..loose. Maybe I should just change it to RQ, or...Lysistrata.. but yes, a great album! I feel old when I realize how long ago that album came out

Brainy- I know you say your brain hurts, but I always consider you the Brainy Girl cuz your so smart.

Would it make you feel younger if I said I was in the 5th grade when it came out?

Haha thanks. Maybe I should change it to BrainyGirl???

Or perhaps TheLinkMaster?

Gulp, nope! I was 14. At the very start of my rebellious years.

Ooh, I like that! I can't imagine Brainy girl being anyone else, though,

I have a major story about my user name, and it's fascinating.

I have NO IDEA why I chose it. There is zero meaning. LOL! (True story...the "88" doesn't even mean anything...notta. I feel shallow. :))

Haha thanks RQ.

BrainytheLinkMasterGirl is too long, huh?

Not a surfer? Or even Californian? Huh.

I read Marriage Builder materials/posts.

Nope! Land-locked in the Midwest.

I started with EarsOpen because I when I signed up I hoped that I would hear the answer to save my marriage. I changed it to NewEveryDay because I really liked that expression, how we can aren't stuck with our old patterns and stuff.
