When I first registered at two peas, my favorite Elvis song was already taken, so instead of moodyblue , I used a line in the song that I really liked. She’s a complicated lady so color my baby moody blue. |

20 years ago I was a preschool teacher and that school used the "Miss [First Name]" format so I was "Miss Jen." It was really the only sort of nickname I ever had and it stuck when I went away to college and I became a member here shortly after graduating. For lack of a better idea, I used MissJen. On another message board, my friends there shortened it to MJ. I like it because it feels like a "real" nickname, not just a shorter version of my actual name. It's the little things LOL

Mine is a mash up of my name and my DH's name.

When I first joined the old board I used one of my dog's names. I said something that people jumped all over me for so I changed it to something else.
When I came here I decided to not be so shy and needed a new identity. Now my name is Dixie (another dog) and Lou because when I was in college one of my roommates would always call her friends by their first name then "Lou." Like another roommate was "Sheri Lou."

Mine is for a saying my husband and I had with each other "I love you a little bit more." The 1 is just a number I've added in other places and VA is for the state I live in Virginia.

Mine is sort of a longish story, but it's a mixup of my and my DH's alter egos. It's a mix of Chloe and Herbie, so the "ch" is pronounced with a K. |

I think it's probably pretty obvious. I did little but lurk on old board and couldn't remember that name so I went with what I was. a pea lurker. Now, not so much. I always read your name as PLUR-ker!! |

Mine is a combo of my name and DHs name. I was a lurker on the old board and have since changed my name but for the life of me cannot remember what my old one was.

I changed mine to MergeLeft on the old pea board - kind of a reflection of the turn my life and worldview were taking after my parents died and I began to work in the public schools.
Changed again to just Merge here, to avoid confusion with leftturnonly.

On the old board I was originally kitschwitch, which I really liked because my house was full of all kinds of kitsch stuff. I loved shopping antique stores and finding the most amazing cheesy stuff. Now that I'm older my house is all ikea. Go figure. Later on the old board I was artbabe and that is what I remain. I teach art. I just thought babe was funny. I used to be sort of a babe. Fifteen years later, not so much...  |

It's my name.  When I was very young, I came into the kitchen one day, sobbing my heart out. When my mum asked me what was wrong, I said “Why did you call me Lesley? I wish you'd called me Jessie, Jessie is a lovely name.”  So, if I had had my way back then, you would have been calling me Jessie instead. (Nowadays I definitely prefer Lesley!) |

Mine is my first name, and my birthday.
My kids are 17 and 19, and they just figured that out too. It’s also what I use for part of my email address.

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. A blast to the past...lol. Mine was a carry over from that board as well. And it’s nothing creative like virgovixen or the like....just nickname from childhood. |

Judy26 , I didn't know that! I used to be KeepingQuinn on the old site, from when I scrapbooked pages for my daughter as a way of keeping memories. I don't remember when or why I changed it to Julee, but I recently spaced out the letters so my posts aren't searchable. Your avatar is a picture of your Quinn and you ? That’s what mine is too!! Me and my precious Quin. 😊❤️ |

Biru is the name of my first Siamese cat. I was having trouble naming him and I wanted a name in Thai since his breed came from Thailand-the former Siam. My sister's boyfriend had just returned from spending a couple of years living in Thailand and he suggested Biru pronounced Bee Roo which means blue for his blue eyes. I added the kitty part.
Biru's been gone now for a few years but we have Jesse now-named for Jesse in "Breaking Bad"-DS's suggestion or Jesse Owens because we got him in Ohio-Jesse Owens went to Ohio State and when Jesse was a kitten he'd run so fast through the house that he'd run into things from going full speed ahead.

I was just using the first initial of my families names tmrdkc. I changed my user name here because I wanted something that reflected me.
River was a cat that found us while we were kayaking. She was a kitten and very malnourished. DH (who hates cats) put her in his kayak and she road out the next five hours happily in his lap. Needless to say she came home with us and DH named her river. She's my avatar.
We love kayaking any river we can find, so it's the perfect nickname for me.

My old two peas name was daltonsmum then I came over here and I'm always so awful at thinking up handles, never comes easy to me. Guess I've been a mom since I've been 19 thats what I've known so for so long, I want to tell the world I have more to offer than just being a mom..if that makes sense.
