“naive to the ways of the internet, and my username was my first name and my middle and last initial. ” Lol that’s me! Sharla middle initial G. No, no, sorry you’re wrong...... your name is Shar Lag. 😜It’s how I have always read it, and I ain’t gonna change now! 😄

I’m from Texas and my name is Mary. ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) You’re about as creative as I am. 😂 I’m from Australia and my name is Megan, but most people call me Meg. I wish I had a more interesting name, but I really wanted something in my name to show that I wasn’t from the US. That way, when I wrote something with different spelling like ‘colour’ or ‘slept’, people wouldn’t think I was a bad speller! I had my initials spelt on another board (emjay) but kept getting called Emma (?) so I didn’t use that one here.

ScrappinMyLife
Means...I document my life in a scrapbook. Chronologically. Each scrapbook(or two...some years were busier or had more happening, than other years) contains a year of my life. I love scrapbooking just as much today, as I did 23-ish years ago when I started.

This was meant just to be an anonymous alter when I needed help with sensitive marriage stuff. My original name could be traced back to me. After a while, I just dropped my old account and stuck with this one.
When I created this account, the board was always hopping with the prolific and well known Peas, so the moniker seemed apropos.

I’m so boring. It’s my first name and last initial. I was kelleel when I first joined 2 Peas. When I got married I changed it to kelleem and earlier this year learned I could use the capitalization without changing my name so I made it KelleeM.

Mine's obvious GiantsFan + orange avatar = SF Giants fan. I've been a following them since I went to my first game 33 years ago. I so wanna go to the Metallica Giants Night in April. Yankees are my team and they’re playing the Giants in SF but the Giants are my second favorite team. My name is a take off of Metallica. When I got my first email address over 20 years ago, I wanted metallichick@msn.com but unbelievably, it was taken, I guess so I just added the a. I like it a lot better but nobody can ever pronounce it right. They say metallica chick. It’s just a metalli chick. It’s the same name I had on the old 2Peas. Easy Peasy! And my avatar is James Hetfield 😍🥰

Stittsy is a nickname derived from my last name, and I’m a girl ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/5645536/images/MNrJDkDuSwqIMVw33MdD.jpg) . It was also the same user name I had at 2Peas. Whaaaat! This whole time - years - I've read your name as stittysgirl as in "Stitty's girl". Mind.blown. Plus now you've gone and changed your avatar too and it's like I just don't know who you are anymore (It's nice to 'see' you, just takes me a while to get used to change ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/5645536/images/MNrJDkDuSwqIMVw33MdD.jpg) )

I've kept the same user name. It stands for child and youth care worker. I have a BA in child & Youth Care. No the program we have a set of core values/beliefs. Child & Youth Care is as much a way of viewing & living in the world - a perspective/outlook on life - as it a job. one of the core principles is meeting people where they are & respecting the unique subjective experience of the people with whom you interact. I know I don't live up to that as well as I should; I can be an overly intense jerk at times when a thread or a poster triggers me. I'm working on getting better.
Anyway, when we moved to this board, I decided that even though I wasn't working at the time, I'd keep the name and try to live up to the philosophy behind it.

When ds was maybe 6-ish, I was extremely sick with strep throat. He knew I needed lots of sleep so he used to sing to me, to the tune of Brahms Lullaby "Go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep, my little mama" He will he 21 in 2 weeks.

DH and I love our squirrels. For 20-odd years we've had a family of about 9 of them that visit our garden every day and they're a joy to watch. I wanted plain Squirrel but it was taken, so I picked RedSquirrel as we have those in the UK too just not where I live.
My hair is a chestnut brown, but in every photograph of me as a child it looks red. Colour photos of that era seem to fade out the blue hues and keep the red ones.
Thank you for this thread - I'm always curious about people's user names.

Marlo Thomas and friends had a record in the 70s entitled Free to Be, You and Me. I loved every damn story, song and poem on that record and listened to it until the nub on my Fisher Price record player was worn down. My favorite were the two stories of Dudley Pippen. Very rarely someone will recognize it.

I do know when people spell their words differently than can be Canadian, Australian, English, or pretty much from anywhere but the US, but it is helpful to see Aussie Meg - I never forget you!! On the old board I was Red (my IRL nickname) and then the board crashed and we had to sign up again and it wouldn't let me sign in for the longest time. It said I wasn't Red. I typed I AM REALLY RED!! once and then it took the "really red" and there you have it.

Post by Yoki on Feb 14, 2019 12:43:38 GMT
Mine is an evolution of a nickname. My husband would randomly call me Yokahama Mama and one day it just stuck. He and my son started calling me Yokahama, then Yoka, when I created to account it was Yoki (yo-key). Now it’s mostly just Yok. Every so often my son tries to call me Yo, but I have put my foot down on that. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/5645536/images/Q_m8lDOvc_3Le3r1GKdf.jpg)

My name here used to be very close to my real name but after some weird things happened here I changed. Nobody posted looking for me which was humbling and hilarious at the same time. HAHA
So, June is the name of my 35 year old Cabbage Patch Doll. Yes, I just went and looked at her bum for her date. hahaha She is one of two toys I kept from my childhood (The other an Etch A Sketch). BTW, I am a mom to real people but did not want to use their names.

My name looks pretty obvious, but it comes from my efforts to make an email address that no one else had already taken. So xy is the male chromosomes and z sounds like s, so xyz means boys. My email became 'my xyz (boys) n me.'
When I got to 2 peas 'my boys n me' was available so I skipped the xyz. I have 2 sons and Dh so I was the only female, but now with a grown sons gone from the house and a granddaughter I might choose something different if I was choosing today.
