Explain Your Name

[officepro4u]

When new members sign up, I wonder what their usernames stand for. So I thought I'd go ahead and explain my name and why I chose it, and ask you all to do the same...

OfficePro4U is the name of my company. I provide administrative support to small to medium sized businesses - also called a Virtual Assistant. I provide all types of secretarial duties via the internet, fax, data transfer, etc. It's awesome!

Diana:sparkle:

[Annette1990]

From the Lou Monte song Dominick The Christmas Donkey.

[officepro4u]

I graduated in 1991. We must be close to the same age. Cool!!

Diana

From the Lou Monte song Dominick The Christmas Donkey.

I LOVE that song!!!! My kids and I sing it out loud everytime it comes on.

Diana

[sugarplum fairy]

My name came from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker (duh). Dance of the Sugarplum Fairy is my favorite song in the ballet.


BTW, I graduated high school in 1989.:merry:

[JOHNOR]

my surname is johnson but friends call me johno for short, my first name begins with r so therefore i just put it together and it's johnor

[kelly ann]

Well Kelly Ann is my name anyway so it dont take much to figure that one out!!

[dvdguy]

i have somewhere over 1200 dvds so there you go

[SW1Dennis]

:sparkle:

The name that I use is my military title and my first name. I was a Navy reservist until I retired at the end of January of this year with 20 years of reserve duty.

The SW means Steelworker in the Navy Seabees and the 1 means I am a First Class Petty officer......hence forth SW1.

[whychristmas]

it's my Christmas website!

[Maureen]

It's my name!:hello:

[MrsH]

When I first signed up we were moving from NJ to FL, so I used Mrs H (for Mrs. Harriott) from New Jersey....when we switched to the new format, I shortened it to MrsH.

And I graduated in 1984

[sweetmisery]

For me, well it sums up life, or atleast how I experience it. That everything has a good and bad side. Or atleast, it has a catch. I know its not very Christmas-like... lol, but Ive been using this nick for a long time now.

Plus I got it from my favorite band AEROSMITH, with their song "Cryin'".

[SC]

SC? Obvious isn't it?
;-)

[kelly ann]

Not really SC, you could be Scott Calvin for all we know?? he he he

[ChristmasFan08]

Christmas Fan

I chose this because this whole website is about christmas and i love christmas so a fan so christmasfan

[sila]

im a fan of the who and i always used the name silas stingy (a who song)
on forums but through the years it got shortened to sila.

[Holly Cl'Oz]

I picked Holly Cl'Oz because I fell in love with the Legend of Holly Claus book and I'm a Wizard of Oz freak. So there ya go! :sparkle:

[kerst]

Kerst is Dutch for Christmas. Thought that fit right in.

[xmascrackers]

Mine is self explanatory - Im Crackers about Christmas and no I dont think much of Christmas Crackers as an item as they are always cheap and nasty here in NZ even the ones you pay $15 each for.

[Maebeary]

My nickname is Maebeary.... MAE are my initials. I collect bears....thus the "bear." When my brother visits from San Diego, he always says how he likes coming back to Mayberry...teasingly, of course....so in his honor, I added the Y. A lot of people know me by Maebeary so I use it for everything! A lot of my Osmond friends call me "Mae." Mary Alice is my name.

[Head Elf]

Mine is because I used to do all the planning and setting up of christmas parties for the company I worked for. I would send out letters to the employees telling them when, where and what would they like to bring to the potluck luncheon. I would provide the tree, decorations and the music. So, I would always sign my letters Head Elf until the year I left I picked the wrong font and it came out looking like the Dead Elf. I know that Santa is the original Head Elf, but I just use it all year round.

[Minta]

Mine is my first name.

[miller4plusmore]

I came up with mine after I had my second son. It's our last name (Miller), the 4 means that we are a family of four, and the plusmore means that we plan to have more children. When we finish having kids, I guess we'll have to change our name, huh?

:hello:

[haagarr]

Mine is after my dog, the world renowned Haagarr (he is a minature schnauzer).

[JanaBanana]

My name is Jana, nicknamed Janabanana :) My youngest is Anabanana

[Billy Battles]

When I was younger I was an Emcee(Rapper). My name was Ghostpain. My real name is Bill so I used to mess around with Alliteration and finally ended up with Billy Battles it just stuck. I just always used it on other sites so when I signed up here I just put that in not thinking. I probably should have tried to think of something more Christmassy.

[kidzrme]

I have always loved kids, and worked with them all of my life until 6 years ago when I switched professions. I had to switch jobs for monetary reasons only. I now substitute teach on my days off from my 911 dispatching. I went to school for Early Childhood Education, taught preschool, ran a Boy's and Girl's Club, worked in the Public school system, and on and on. '89 is the year I graduated high school...:)

[whychristmas]

My name is Jana, nicknamed Janabanana :) My youngest is Anabanana

A friend of a friend I know is a 'Hannahbanana'!

[Annette1990]

I graduated in 1991. We must be close to the same age. Cool!!

Diana

Well I just turned 36...Ahhh that evil number..just kiddin'..I still get carded for a beer now and again...*LOL

[Ice Princess]

:playing:I joined a board in 2005 but my lil sis set me up. She's the one that named me. I have an ice addiction. NO lie. Ice Princess was her idea and she gave me an avatar of two 10-lb bags of ice.

Nice to meet ya'll. This is my 2nd post.:cold:

[Christmasstar]

The Christmas star is a favorite symbol of Christmas.
When we gaze at the Christmas star we sense the afterglow of the original Christmas star that led people from faraway lands on along journey to see a baby.
The Christmas star signaled the birth of Jesus to faraway people.
The light of that star led them to the light of the world, the real Christmas Star, Jesus Christ himself.

I like stars, looking up at them and I especially like this one because of it's meaning. That is why I chose this name for myself.

[ROCKIN'_Red-Green]

My name basically describes how much I like Christmas. So , to break it down "ROCKIN'" slang term for meaning to Show off, Red and Green. In all, my username basically stands for Showing Off Red and Green

[Amy]

I'm Amy :!!

[novelist]

:yahoo:Reading is one of my favorite pasttimes, so that why I picked novelist. I was going to pick something "christmasy", but since I use novelist on other message boards, I thought it would be easier to keep everything the same.

[clarebear]

Mine name is clare and when i was younger my nickname was clarebear, carebears lol. Silly really.

[EvilMelXmasBelle]

I am always known as EvilMel on other forums where I post, but I though that EvilMel was somewhat inappropriate for the MMC board. I added the XmasBelle part because I'm from the south and I love love love Christmas.

I dislike the EvilMel nickname nowadays but I've had it so long that I just keep using it. People always say to me "wow...you aren't evil at all!" so it doesn't exactly fit anymore.

[little miss icequeen]

I was trying to be cute when I signed up here.
I was thinking of "little miss sunshine" but since my real name means "sunshine" and I don´t like sunshine (love my name though) I wanted to use something else. And the idea was "icequeen" = Iceland. And I like ice so much better then sunshine.
Silly and I would like to change it.

[Maebeary]

I love reading how everyone got their screen names!

[RadioJonD]

...from my 911 dispatching.
Thirty years and counting of telling deputy sheriffs, forest rangers, state troopers, marine police officers, and now, federal officers where to go!

Okay, on the topic at hand. Radio- for my interest/vocation thereof. Jon - short for my given name, Jonathan. D - my middle initial. You'll find this screen name in a number of radio, music, and Christmas forums.

[Annette1990]

I have noticed we have gotten alot of new members within the last month or so. Thought I would bump this thread up...

[Holiday]

I graduated in 1991. We must be close to the same age. Cool!!

Diana

My name came from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker (duh). Dance of the Sugarplum Fairy is my favorite song in the ballet.


BTW, I graduated high school in 1989.:merry:


I am way late on this, but I graduated in '89 too! :smile:

My name has no real reasoning behind it. I joined Christmas.com in 2002 after I just stumbled accross the website & if I'm not mistaken, that was the 1st "group" I had ever joined. I had a complete mind block & couldn't think of a name, but I wanted something Christmassy...Holiday popped in my head & that's the rest of the story!

[scoobie]

Well, scoobie is the name I have been using on message boards, chat rooms etc etc since about '97 I think, and on CB radio as my 'handle' before that.. and its just stuck! Like alot of others before me, I think I should have used something a bit more Christmassy, but entered it without thinking really!!

The reson why I chose it in the first place? Erm, I guess it was just a random choice! I've never even liked scooby-doo, so I guess that cant be it... maybe it was because scoobie was something my friends and I used to say.. 'I haven't got a scoobie' meaning I havent a clue (it all rhymes you see... scoobie...scooby-doo... clue....)

So there you have it :-)

[Annette1990]

:cry:I've noticed we are getting alot of new members and thought they might like to post to this thread.

[Crown 84]

Mine dates all the way back to the long gone Christmas.Com board.
My trusty steed for the past 22 + years has been my beloved 1985 Ford Crown Victoria, two-tone blue (looks a bit like an old police car!).
I originally registered at C.Com as "Crown 85" but at one point, there was a shut down for several months. When the forum came back up, it would not accept "Crown 85" any more so I just backed off a digit and re-registered as "Crown 84".

Wanting to have at least some Christmas tie-in, I pasted a Christmas wreath onto a crown image I found somewhere on the internet to set as my avatar.

[steven-and-angela]

do I really need to?:hi:

[dvdguy]

are you steve or angela?
or both?
or neither?




now that would be odd

[steven-and-angela]

Steven, Angela is my wife. I do all the posting cheesy

[Iron Eagle]

First and formost, I'm not a Louis Gosset fan (I get that a lot). I was actually dubbed Iron Eagle long before the movies. I was named by an American Indian family I used to know. They were South Dakota Blackfoot. The whole story is quite long and not appropriate for this forum. So to make it short, the indian language uses a lot of symbolism. The word "iron" as in "iron horse" means stregth. It can also mean "truth", as in "The words you speak have iron." The Eagle, of course stands for truth, honor, and justice. I've forgotten how to pronounce it over the years, but the word meant "Strong Justice," or "Strong Truth." Either way, one or two of the lads from work overheard the conversation, sooooo I've been the Iron Eagle ever since.



Since everyone seems to be putting their Graduation year in . . . . . . . . 1970.
I feel so old right about now.

[dvdguy]

i dont remember if i posted this before so here we go:
my name comes from my extensive collection of dvd's, theres quite a few, & I have almost 100 discs of just Christmas movies.
My better half is on here is MrsH. Theres not much to explain, there

[Dom]

I just started buying xmas movies on DVD...u got over 100? I'll never catch you.

[dvdguy]

u might, i have alot of the most popular stuff, but theres a bunch of stuff out there that i have yet to see

[act_as_if]

My name really doesn't have a significant meaning.

It's acually a Sara Evens song, Act as if. It's basically saying that she doesnt care about all the little things her boyfriend does that bother her, or little tidbits about her life that are not perfect. She's just taking things as is. Or, as if.

And I just like the song.

[Annette1990]

I thought I would bump this thread up for all our new members.

[hollybow]

When I was younger .. 20 years ago I went to England as an aupair.. and it was round christmastime when the little boy of the family came towards me and a kneeled down to give him a hug he came up to me and said: *hollybow*...
and 20 years later :dance:I thought this is the name for me on christmas forums

[Dom]

I chose Dom because in life I'm really a very laid back, quiet, low maintenance, simple person...so I wanted to choose a name that'd be the opposite...like a Dominant, loud, agressive name :-).

[Sunshine73]

When I was little, my great grandmother nicknamed me "Sunshine" because I was always a happy, giggling child and she always said that when I walked into a room it was like I brought the sunshine with me.

My great-grandmother was the only one who ever used that nickname for me, it was like our special bond or something and when she passed away, the nickname didn't get used for quite some time.

Until I met and started dating my DH. We worked at the same company and a day or two after our first date I walked into the back room to find DH standing there at the workbench, eating his lunch. When I walked in, he looked up and said "Hey Sunshine!"

My heart just stopped. I asked him why he called me "Sunshine" and he said it was because I was so happy and sunny it was like I brought the sunshine in the room with me. I knew then that there was something special about him!

So, now he's the one who calls me Sunshine and I use it for my username quite often. The 73 is the year I was born (added because, most often, I find that just plain "Sunshine" is a username that is already taken on most forums).

[Sunshine73]

I graduated in 1991. We must be close to the same age. Cool!!

Diana


Hey, another class of '91 alum here!!

[auntieclaus]

My darling nieces call me "Auntie" because I don't like "Aunt Leann", it just doesn't flow. A few years ago while in a book store I saw a series of books with Auntie Claus in the title and just adopted the name. Needless to say I now own all of the books in the series:))

[sdkluger]

I was looking for an avatar/identity for my MySpace Christmas blog site. I wanted it to tie in with my Christmas web site. I decided that Special Delivery Kluger said that he could answer all our questions about Santa Claus and my web site attempts to answer questions about Christmas customs. So I decided to become SDKluger.

I graduated from high school in 1987, college in 1991.

[irishgirl]

My "handle"... my grandmother moved to America from Ireland when she was 19. She married a man whose father moved to America from Ireland. As you can imagine we are "quite" irish in my family. When I was younger my family would kid and call me irishgirl because from what I understand from my family (if you can get past the brogue) is I looked like I just came off the boat from the Isle. So it is a knickname that has stuck.. sorta like gum in your hair....:wiggy:

[jody664]

My darling nieces call me "Auntie" because I don't like "Aunt Leann", it just doesn't flow. A few years ago while in a book store I saw a series of books with Auntie Claus in the title and just adopted the name. Needless to say I now own all of the books in the series:))
My nieces and nephews call me Aunt Jody. One day we were ordering pizza and someone asked me what I liked on it. I said, "Oh anything and everything, even anchovies." My niece thought that was hilarious and started calling me Aunt Chovy. Kids............

[jody664]

Years ago, I had joined a single's website. You didn't get to pick out your user name.........they assigned you a name by taking your first name and tacking a number onto it. I've been Jody664 every since (guess there were 663 other Jodys on that site).

Class of 1984

[christmascreations]

:snowball:Well I was originally a member of the OC forums til it closed down and then became a member of the MHH forums run by Gingerbug which led me to this wonderous site also!!! I love Christmas and had learned about different forms of crafting through OC and really wanted to get into the creative aspect of the Holidays...hence christmascreations!!

[judesmama]

My baby boy's name is Jude! :)

[starflake]

I love stars and snowflakes, so I combined the two. Sweet and simple. :)

[Wenceslaus]

I was born on St. Stephen's Eve, and as the Christmas carol says,

Good King Wenceslas looked out, on the Feast of Stephen,
When the snow lay round about, deep and crisp and even;
Brightly shone the moon that night, tho' the frost was cruel,
When a poor man came in sight, gath'ring winter fuel.

[Wenceslaus]
