OK. Ace has suggested that a thread be started in an effort to ascertain where people's screen names came from.
So I guess it's up to me to begin.
My original screen name was BetrayedHub, for Betrayed Hubby. I used it to remain anonymous on these forums.
I later decided that since people I knew were coming here, seeking help for there own situations, knowing who I was and what I was dealing with could some how give them encouragement and/or hope to continue their own fight.
Next?

Well for me....... when i first came here i was feeling very lost and dealing with a lot of people with "worldly" opinions rather than that of God.... I felt that these opinions that strayed from everything I new some how at that time made sense and I was trying to break them down and see the wrong and false teachings in them..... I am trying to think of a new name but most seem to be too long... so for right now it is the same but look forward to a name change in the near future. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I was "Daddy's girl" all my life and he always called me "Princess". He passed away in 1986 and I still miss him terribly. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> My real name is "Melody". When me and my brother and sister were just toddlers they couldn't pronounce Melody so it came out "Meggy". That nickname stuck for a long time... thus "PrincessMeggy". <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Well, I think mine is kind of obvious. I was/still am a stupid wife. I thought things were just fine. That is until he started acting like he hated me and it hit me like a semi truck. I thought things that we had gone through the past couple of years made our bond stronger, only to be told that "things have been bad for quite some time. How could I not have seen that?" I dunno, maybe would have helped if he had talked to me about it.

Mine, Rltraveled, comes from the book by M. Scott Peck, The Road Less Traveled.
Although, I may consider changing it as I feel I've grown so much from this experience. The Peck "philosophy" is no longer grounded enough for me. But still, a lot of good stuff in it to consider.

Oh, and to add ... he writes a lot about "romantic love" vs. "real love."
Good stuff, but I have since learned from research that Peck was quite the philanderer, himself.
I hate hypocrasy.

I dunno, maybe would have helped if he had talked to me about it. I don't like your name as you are not stupid. Trusting, silly, hopeful, but definitely not stupid. Mine came from a quote in a book I was reading the day I joined...the book was "Wild, Crazy, Succulent Women" or something like that and the quote is from a famous midwestern poet - "I have woven a parachute out of everything broken"... I hadn't yet at the time, but hoped to.

Mine is better than "tripod" or "3pod", because that would sound like I'm bragging...
Seriously, when I logged in, I didn't know until I got 2 the screen name line that the login and screen names don't need 2 be the same.
My login name is 2longhistory2quit, which is 2long, frankly. So that's how I ended up with 2long.
My other login name is still t-zero, though I changed the screen name 2 Qfwfq not long after I created it.
For those worried about their WSs or OPs hacking in2 their user accounts on MB, having different screen and login names is sort of like having an additional password layer. you do have 2 remember 2 hit "log out" after your session, because your browser may automatically reconnect you when the page is opened again.
-ol' 2long (aka t-zero, Qfwfq)

My name IRL is CJ. When I first got here, my screen name was "FaithfulWife" because I was a faithful wife and my H (at the time) was a serial cheater. After we got divorced, I really wasn't a "wife" anymore so I had a contest, and my new name became "FaithfulNewCJ" <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> I liked that name!
I just got remarried a year ago, so I'm a "wife" again! So now, I am "FaithfulWifeCJ" and I like that name too!

My real name is so common that all variations of it have been used already unless I use numbers and I can't remember numbers. [laughs]
I was past all that early discovery meaningfull name bit and was eating ramen noodles at the time and so...
Good thing it worked too because the next thing in my line of sight was my shoe. I remember thinking that would be my second choice.

I picked my name because through the whole process of learning about myself I learned that so much of what we do through life is truly by choice. I wasn't sure if I could use an apostrophe here so I left it out. It would make more sense if my username looked like this, "Life's choice". The word Life represents my real name and the word choice.

Man I gotta tell you my guesses are just way off.
I know I read yours before noodle but forgot.
Someone I used to know said "lets noodle this out" when they were talking about figuring out a problem then working through it.
Your advice usually helps people noodle it out and that is what I always think of when I see yours.
I want Milkshake to tell us because hers always makes me think of the carls JR. commercials with the guy shaking the cow to the milkshake song.
And RB I wasn't making fun. LOL. OK a little.

GameFace - I just felt that I needed to put on my gameface while I PlanA'd. Act happy, don't LB, don't act depressed...all that. I haven't changed it as I am not convinced we are actually in recovery, despite WW saying she feels like we're cured! Still PlanAing and working with SH.
