How did you pick your username?

Posted : 10/3/2007 6:56:16 AM

I have a friend who is an animal communicator. That said, I am not making any comment on whether I believe in animal communication the same way she does, but it's fun if nothing else, and I thought this was nice for her to say anyway. One day, she mentioned to me that she could see dogs all around me, but they weren't all mine. I thought of all my dogs that were gone, and all my students' dogs that had left us. All the spirit dogs.

How did you pick your username?

Liesje (leeeesheh) is the Dutch diminutive of my real name, Lies. It's like saying Liesey (which my mom and grandmas still call me), or calling a Bill "Billy" or a Kate "Katie". I use it for all of my accounts and if it's already taken I use Liesjers (leeeeshers) or LiesjeR since my last name starts with R.

Nothing to do with a dog, lol.

Anne, that's such a comforting thought. I'm sure that Dancer is at the head of the group that's surrounding you.

I chose my name because he is. Party!!!

LOL Too funny, Annie! My username is simple- Mick was the Lab/English Setter mix we lost in July 2006. For 15 1/2 years I was Mick's Mom. People in the "real world" called me that, too.

I've heard that two's company, and three's a crowd, so it should follow that four is OVERcrowded... But in this home, four dogs is just perfect, so I re-calibrated the saying to fit me. Four Is Company.

On other dog forums, I am CaraMia because those were my two dogs when I joined. On another non-dog forum, I'm Benevolent Heretic, because THAT describes me very well. Wink

I'm another who wasn't at all creative with their user name. My name is Chelsea, my last name starts with B. Gosh, I amaze myself sometimes. Big Smile

I am another less than unique name! I am NOT creative. This was the first board I logged into that I have a 'username' my user name on the other boards is my name. How unique is that!

When I got married I gave up my long, complicated Italian last name. I was so excited to have a simple name, Johnson, T is the first letter of DH's name (Todd). Ever since I have used Mrstjohnson as my login on message boards.

Two of my doggies are a "Bully" breed and I am a mother so "bullymom" seemed to fit perfect.

I picked mine because I'm a University of Oklahoma football freak, and I think this sums it up well Stick out tongue (no I'm not really that pompous)

As time went on, "Sooner" came to be a synonym of Progressivism. The Sooner was an "energetic individual who travels ahead of the human procession." He was prosperous, ambitious, competent, a "can-do" individual. And Oklahoma was the Sooner State, the land of opportunity, enterprise and economic expansion, very much in the Progressive spirit that engulfed the old South in the 1920s.

...

Today, the thunderous chants of "Boomer! Sooner!" roll across the Oklahoma landscape. The success of University of Oklahoma athletics teams over the years has made the nickname synonymous with winning.
