| When I was younger I couldn't swim (still can't lol) and I sunk to the bottom like a "rock." So it kinda stuck as a nckname between close friends. As for the 00 is similar to 007 because I am slick around house and kids (I have been a stay at home mommy for 8yrs). lol And the 3 is for my 3 daughters. |

Well I have a ton of animals and I have four children and my 3 girls all have a ton of animals. And although the oldest daughter is married she doesn't want children. They are all working hard at winning at barrel racing. My middle daughter is interested in getting married someday and having children, but the right one hasn't come along. I don't know they are all 3 very independent and they would rather not have to deal with a man for the most part. It's so hard to find any good ones these days anyway. My son is married but him and his wife are busy with other things right now too. So the only thing being born around here is horses and chicks and baby goats. I guess if my grandcritters aggravate me I can always sell them. And for a pretty penny and to a good home with the kind of high dollar critters we raise.

Mine is pretty self-explanatory too,
I chose to call myself "Lady" woodworker probably because I have tried so hard in my woodworking career to retain my sense of true self.
This has been an issue mostly because I have worked in boatyards,
where women can still face a great deal of hostility.
Some women woodworkers get really rough--its understandable and easy to do--
I don't wear dresses to the shop but I do my best to look nice when I go to work (makeup, hair in a twist, bun or ponytail, thought-out clothing rather than the same old collarless sweatshirt look that most of my male counterparts wear...).
I try to retain some femininity, even though my hands are callused and I enjoy getting really dirty.
I think that's why I chose the "Lady" part of my name.

Well, I wasn't sure we could 'invent' our screen name, so I just used my email name. Pretty boring compared to all the rest, but there you have it.
Hugs and Squishies!!

Mine is a nickname my little brother gave me when we were kids and my last initial. It also is the syllables of my married name in reverse. Not terribly exciting, but I can remember it!

Oh my goodness, Kristin, does your brother call you Neenee Binini now? That is too cute. Very clever and like you said, impossible to forget.
Berte, it is nice when our names are "a given."

Aw, so many of these names are all sentimental and sweet! My name is a semi obscure Harry Potter reference. I started trying to use it as soon as the 6th book came out and every so often it's actually available and then I feel special! For those who haven't read HP or don't remember, felix felicis is a very rare and difficult potion that makes the drinker very lucky for a shortish period of time. Everything you try to do while "under the influence" will work out and things you didn't know you wanted will tend to sort out too :D.
The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.

Rachel that is an interesting farmgirl name. I didn't make the connection at all. I love the idea behind the spell. Especially the part about things you didn't even know you desired! There is no denying the imagination of Ms.Rowlings.

I chose my farmgirl name because all my life family has mostly use Birdie as my nickname. I've been called Robinbird, Tweeter, Pajarita...all bird names off shooting from Robin. Decided to use the most commonly used one...plus the year I was born.

My younger brother used to call me wease as a teenager because I was tall and skinny like a weasel. (wish I was now) My favorite character in Lord of the Rings was Eowyn. So I got creative and remembered that Eros was the God of Love so came up with erowease.

I chose sweettea because I'm a tea connoisseur, and my family calls me Candy, although I'm Candace just about everywhere else. So...sweettea it is.

If I had really known what I was doing at the time I joined..(my daughter was helping me..cause I am not computer savy at all)..I might have put more thought into it...like Clamity Jane..(cause of my mama..n I am a lot like her...(sometimes)..

Well mine is simple math... 4 cats, 5 dogs, 4 horses, and a pot belly pig. However, I now have 6 dogs and I don't believe the chickens or domestic pet rats count  . I know, I know.... when is the madness going to end. LOL
I'm so busy I don't know if I just found a rope or lost my horse! |

Everyone shows a lot of themselves in their names. Even when we kind of regret that we didn't choose something else!

I use the name Bellepepper on everything on the computer. I chose Bellepepper because I love gardening. I am really big on making salsa but thought Hotpepper would be a little misleading for this old Great Grandma.
