We haven't done this in a long while (I don't think) and we have quite a few new members, so I thought I'd throw the question out for fun and learning.
The 26 in my username is not twenty-six. It's two six. As in "Mom to 6".

My oldest grandson named me Gia instead of Grandma when he started to talk, and his initials are CJ. So I’m giatocj (and now also to Chase😉).

Mine is for my profession, a mash-up of the formal name Surgical Technologist and and the informal name "scrub." I am retired since September, but still certified. I think of changing my pea name to my blog/IG name, though, because it's more me now.

It's two six. As in "Mom to 6". Haha I just realized that a couple of days ago when you said you had 6 kids. I always looked at it as "26."
My username evolved. When I first joined 2 peas, I was naive to the ways of the internet, and my username was my first name and my middle and last initial. Then, I posted a few things about where I worked, and I started to see people tracking down peas in real life. That made me nervous, so I changed my username to my nickname, which was a unique form of my middle name, that started with a T. Then, something else happened that made me worry/wonder that someone from my real life would find me on 2Peas, so I changed my name to JustT.
I am looking forward to reading what other's names mean because I so often wonder about that.

My name is carried over from 2peas, although I think I used the name first on the Creating Keepsakes board. Eddie (well, Edward) and Harley (yes, like the motorcycle) are the names my parents (say they) would have given to me and my sister had we been boys. I am sure I had done a scrapbook page with that title not long before I registered for whichever board, and then I used the same name when I registered for the other board.

Stittsy is a nickname derived from my last name, and I’m a girl . It was also the same user name I had at 2Peas.

I used to have a more fun name (genuinepea) which was a play on my name, but when I became a GG at 2Peas, they requested that I change it to my real name. So, yeah.

Mine is the plural of lexicon. I love words. And when I was working, I had numerous types of dictionaries, including technical words and slang dictionaries, that I used and people used to tease me about them. I was frequently looking things up because my job required total accuracy. They actually started calling me lexica years ago.

Years ago I had a very small online scrapbook store. I never knew that! Have you shared that before and I missed it? I never talked about it, because I didn't think it was fair to twopeas. They were terrible business owners, but I didn't think that was an excuse for me to be unethical. I left the board for a while in order to focus on my business and message board. 2 of our old peas pm'd me to ask why I was leaving. I did share my info w/them. I don't think either of them are on the new board. Anyway, just as my business was taking off I got sick and had to sell the business. That was my brief stint at being a business owner. HA!

Mine is the same as it was on the old board. I was crazy for scrapbooking then, still crazy for scrapbooking now = crazy for scraps = crazy4scraps. And LOL, I’m a little less obsessed with saving allllll my paper scraps these days because I’d be buried alive after all these years so now I go through every so often and donate a lot of them to my kid’s school.

one of my nieces called me Jenjie for a short while. It’s not my preferred nickname. I used jenjen on other boards (another niece-given name) but 2peas wouldn’t let me use it. When I came to the refugees I wanted to keep my same username.
