Topic: intriguing nicknames Posted: 17 May 2007 at 10:16pm |
Right - I'm curious about some of the nicknames on here. What do they mean? Where'd they come from? They intrigue me - can their owners help?
Chovynz? Gandt? eomachine? Nikkiwhyte?
....OK I'm kidding Nikki. Yours is pretty self-explanatory.
OH - and why do some people choose their child's name as their nickname on Oh Baby? Seems a bit of a tradition here. But I don't get it! Can anyone enlighten me?

cos we luv our babies! although i am sure Emma can tell you she gets called Maya a hell of alot!
although i put mum2paris.. but i can't change it.. on NZWP i am mum2parisayja.. but still. it would feel weird here to change it as i started here as just that.. mum2paris.. not anyone else, it's like my badge of honor.. lol nah, it's just special in some weird way.
Am sure GandT is short for Gabriel and Toby..(not gin and tonic as we would all think lol..)
not sure about the rest.

Well, mine is a few years old and is a shortened version of Extraordinary Machine, which is the name of one of my favourite singers third album! Fiona Apple that is. I don't really listen to her a whole lot anymore.
I used it for a few different messageboards and to be honest, when I joined this one, I didn't actually think I would become SO addicted! But I did.
I was going to change it when baby was born though, so I might just change it now..
It's now been changed to neeandsam, as my name is Renee, and the knees first baby is Sam.

Well mine is Lissyz. My nickname, totally stuck with me my whole life is, Lissy, short for Melissa. My work mates call me Mel, but the family calls me Lissy. Normally when I use a nick name Lissy is taken, so decided to add the z at the end, as it is like my email addy!

Mine actually has a deep hidden meaning which is entirely reflective of my personality....
I am lazy and unimaginative

Because of a number of things.
It is a small hit at Desiderata's first line (for I am never silent). Also one of the names of the bot's on the old xtra IRC network.
And ironicly Olivia is named after my nick name and not the other way around!
Olivia - olive branch - peace

Thank you. I also have a phoenix on my right sleeve (shoulder to just above the elbow, it doesn't go right the way around though) which I got done at 5 weeks pregnant (didn't know I was pregnant then).
I haven't taken any photos of that one because it's unfinished.
And now I am preggers, I can't finish it til next year.
