What does your screen name mean? - Marriage Builders® Forums

Some people have very unique screen names and I'm just curious what the story is behind them. My is pretty boring, my initials and the year I was born.

Hi kloe72!

I always wonder about that too....

Mine is self explanatory. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/frown.gif" />

You, by the way, are a trooper! One tough gal.
Good Luck with all you are dealing with! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

Hi Kloe..

Mine is my first initial, and the date of our wedding.

Simple, but meaningful to me.

K72172

Family Matters checking in.

Mine is self-explanatory but I chose it to remind myself to hang in there. Every time I felt like giving up I'd recall my screen name and think...
"I can't quit, daggonit...FAMILY MATTERS"

....it's descriptive and motivational!

Where's my coffee <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

We've called our middle daughter Miss Priss since she could get herself around. She hates to be dirty...loves to get dressed up and now we have noticed that she walks like she's on a runway. She'll be 8 next Saturday.

She's the spitting image of me. Scary really.....uncanny resemblence of me at that age, so now that's what my H calls me all the time. Though I don't mind getting dirty.....HATE to dress up...and certainly can't walk like I'm on a runway.

Hi kloe,

There was a really long thread about this way back and it was interesting to read all the details.

For me it was simple.I was in so much agony when I found this site that all I could think of was it was the month of October, which is my favorite month of the year(I love Fall and my Anniversary is in it too)but also that I found out about WH's adultery and I picked girl because I am one.

I was going to change it since I found out my WH is reading here now but instead I just removed most of my profile.Hopefully he hasn't discovered it is me.

My 24 yr old son's jack russell terrier's name is Trixie. She is a sweetheart.

My former name was 4give...it sounded too much like an order than a suggestion but something I've definitely had to learn about and practice.

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

~~~~~~~

When I first came to MB in October, my screen name was Standing_for_M, meaning I was standing for my M. I changed it in February to reflect his coming home & that we're standing for our M together now. Simple but very meaningful.

Miss priss...Sounds like a real pip, that 8yo of yours! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

OG--Ha! what a busy month for me: W's and both D's birthdays all in a weeks time. (Very expensive month for me too!)

FM--probably the most insightful name out there. (Along with WOE! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> )

Pep: maybe I should change mine to "Billy Shears"?!?!? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> (Complete Beatles fan--only wish I were older to actually experience it all while it was happening.)

Mine? Pretty boring. Didn't lurk for too long before I first posted. Actually, double-menaing: Long Island, New York and W's first name.

I have been involved in an industry that deals with recommendations or application of protective, decorative, anti-corrosive coatings in both residential and commercial settings from retail and practical application positions for several years.

I'm thinking of changing my name to Smart-A$$ Painter.

Mine has to be THE most creative!!! I live in the wonderful province of Alberta.

This is interesting Kloe, thanks!

I picked mine because I happened to be reading some William Stafford stuff on the day I joined MB that touched me.

There was a time in my life when I would have gladly woven a coffin out of all the tragedy instead of a parachute, but now I am a mom and no longer have the luxury of self-destructing. And even though the heartaches keep right on a comin, my old well-worn parachute just keeps gettin bigger.

Kind of cheesy I know.

My name represents how I felt at the time I started posting here.

I no longer felt like the "Grand Prize" (that loss of innocence everyone feels).

I felt like a "Boobyprize" not something special but better than nothing. I felt that while he didn't want the other woman, I came with the house and the kids and a source of additional income (OW was on welfare). I was the easiest choice.

Great thread, I have often wondered about names also.

Mine is simple, it is a pet name my H started calling me when we were dating, (Baby Girl), & we started dating in 1993.

I used it to remember how much he once loved me, now he has very his own "baby girl", guess I have been replaced. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/frown.gif" />

Mine seems self-explanatory, at least to me. It's what I want to be, though perhaps LordsChild would have been better. I want to be His. I mess up a LOT. And I admit I struggle and my faith is not all that strong. But if it weren't for my Lord, I don't know how I'd have made it as far as I have in this mess without doing a lot of really stupid things.

I wonder what mine means? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Let's see, I'm on my 4th. WW was lurking here and making fun of me. Finally I said tough, I won't be changing again. I was originally 1FamilyMan, FlaMan, and then 1TinMan(because I felt like I lost my heart. And I LOVE the Wizard of OZ <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" /> )

Tom Joad. Main Character of John Steinbecks depression era novel The Grapes of Wrath.

Many years ago, a rookie on the fire department called me the modern day Tom Joad. I took it as a compliment. I was the vetran Lt. who looked out for everyone.

<blockquote>quote:<hr /> I'll be all around in the dark - I'll be everywhere. Wherever you can look - wherever there's a fight, so hungry people can eat, I'll be there. Wherever there's a cop beatin' up a guy, I'll be there. I'll be there in the way guys yell when they're mad. I'll be there in the way kids laugh when they're hungry and they know supper's ready, and when people are eatin' the stuff they raise and livin' in the houses they built - I'll be there, too. <hr /></blockquote>

short for michelle. friends at work call me shelly shell shell as a joke. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

I won't elaborate on mine, but I will elaborate on a former poster's name, "Freddy."

Don't know when he last posted, don't remember his story - other than the story behind his name. Suffice to say, we all assumed "Freddy" was his first name. Hint: we were wrong.

It went something like this:

When he was growing up, there was a dog, maybe a stray?, in his neighborhood. This dog would roam and poop in anybody's yard it saw fit. One home owner in the neighborhood was particularly peeved when ever this dog pooped in HIS yard. He didn't like getting "pooped" on.

The name of the dog - NOT Freddy. It was the name of the neighbor! Getting pooped on against his will - similar to "Freddy" and all other BSs.

DD LOVES Finding Nemo and I love the water. Nemo is lost and that's how I felt when I found this place. Now that I've been here a short while, I realize that I should have taken the tag "Marlen", because I'm the one fighting the entire ocean to get to my WW.

Nemo was taken and 16 was always my number in sports, I always throw it on the end when I need to for an internet name.

I just wonder, "can this help?"

BTW, it has helped.

My mom used to call me graycloud. When I got here I was remembering the safety and comfort my parents gave me.

Funny, once I asked her why she called me that, and she said because I never slept and always had gray circles under my eyes. But I think she said it on a night when she was having trouble getting me to go to bed.

At that moment I felt so - belonging to nowhere... lost.. where to go what to do... not belonging to our home any more and not belonging out of our home either...

That moment is more and more fading, I feel much better, almos healed... and very often I think of changing it to the one I will always cherish and insist on it:
Belonging to Myself

Mine seems self-explanatory also. Been in the Navy over 20yrs and until I found MB, I was certainly LOST! Although I've headed off course a few times, there's always someone here to help me stay the course..........LS

Mine is my maiden name - pretty plain and pretty lame. What can I say I was the BS and pretty stressed - I couldn't think of anything better at the time.

I used to have a really flat tummy and after my twins it was stretched and flabby. On DDay I told myself "I'm going to get a tummytuck and start anew". Still haven't - can't afford one and am a real coward. Maybe one day ....

I am a HUGE N.Y. Jets fan...football season is here and i hope focusing on football for a while...I hope my Jets have a great day today!!! ( sorry Bengal fans )

Oh, jg, just had to thread jack! J--E--T--S JETS JETS JETS! WHOOOOHOOOOO! Opening day kickoff in less than 2 hours!!!!

PS Gotta love those female football fans--glad i got one too!

I'm a choral director and a singer. 58 is my birth year, I should get rid of that, I'm not really that old! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" />

Tummytuck, how old are your twins? I have a set also, they are 21. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

As a keen teen, I used to try out for local bands as a guitarist and singer. At one trial the band's manager said I was " pure Bob Mould" ( a unique player and hero of mine, used to play with Husker Du, and Sugar for those of you that care !).

When anyone wanted that sound, they'd call 'pureb0b'. My nickname ever since. Bob Pure just seemed more grown up when I signed up here !

Bob: I *hate* Bob Mould! Think he's a genious, however, bad memory: My first love in HS/college--her next BF's band was produced by Bob Mould in NYC. (Went to TISCH.)

Hey Ladysing58, they are girls who will be 9 next week. Very different - bit like a Laurel and Hardy outfit! They are great girls but they played havoc with my figure!!

I know mine sounds kind of stupid. But that is how I sign any business letters. Like a farwell. I felt I was saying goodbye to a part of me. So lost and confused at that time.
I'm in a much better place now. Nothing that isn't good for me or respectful of me is allowed in me! Best REGARDS

I would like to say it was when my shrink suggested I get a book called "Stop Walking On Eggshells", but I had the name a good year before that.

There is an old KMFDM song called jukejoint jezebel (I think that's how u spell it?) so that's where I get juke and 1225 because it's easy to remember. Random stuff really.

This is my middle name and the middle name for all of the women in my family (mother, sisters, and our daughters).

Bob - Bob Mould is one of my favorites.

I've been listening to "Zen Arcade" almost daily, and Sugar's F.U.E.L. has been in my car's CD changer for weeks. Husker Du was a little bit before my time, but I like it. That and Minutemen. Got a copy of "Double Nickels on the Dime" on vinyl a few weeks ago. Coooool. By the way, for those who know Minutemen, Watt has a new CD out, or about to come out.

I used denial#1 because denial was my #1 priority for the past several years. I can see that now. At the time, however, because of my DENIAL, I didn't see it!

By the way, I wish my OW had died! I keep looking in the obituaries. Not a very nice thing I know.

Brenda

I guess I chose my name because like Roger Waters said, I have become . . . comfortably numb.

Pretty self explainatory...no spell checker!!

Not as krusht as when I found this place.

k

I sign off with "k" because on OM's emails he referred to me as "k" (My first name starts with K) Going ironic here!

It's where I live, as in "the LBC". Long Beach, California.
