ok, quite a few of you have unusual sign in names, and it is really driving me nuts trying to figure out what they mean or stand for *HORMONES*
So Spill!!!! (especially Kabekat or however you spell it, I can't even say it, and Paws) Don't have to reveal your real name, just what your sign in names stand for. Nikkiwhyte is obvious, as is mum2paris and me, jacobsmama etc... ------------- The Honest Un PC Parent of 2, usually stuck in the naughty corner! :P |

Ok well Paws simply came about becuase for years my email addy was Paws4thought, created due to my love for animals, involvement in the SPCA as a volunteer etc. For me Paws4thought meant stopping to consider those who cannot speak for themselves.
I also would use this as a handle in chat rooms etc and it finally just whittled down to Paws as I got too lazy to type out the whole thing and also stopped using the paws4thought addy. Somehow it seems to have stuck for around the last 6 or so years! 
And now I really can't be bothered thinking of any other handle and really couldn't imagine calling myself anything but Paws. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| well, my sign in came from a very perculiar source...well not really, but you know when you play international rules drinking games and you can't use your real name? well, mine as Wizzle - which sounded too much like "take a wizz", so changed to lizzle. |

Mine's pretty self-explanatory too! Annie - I can see why you chose 'JacobsMama' for yours instead!!! he he. I love how yours came about, Paws - I've been really curious about that one too. 'Emeldee' had me wondering, 'till she explained it a while ago - another clever one. ------------- Andie |

I wish I had thought of something more creative! I have always been Kellz cos there are always a million Kelly's in chat rooms,..and when trying to get an email address etc. Plus people call me Kellz in 'real life' too!
Great thread! I had been wondering about some of them too,..like Paws! |

Paws... I think Emeldee is the transliteration of MLD - her initials.
(Well not transliteration because it is still in the same language. I couldn't think of the proper word!) |

Mine comes from a bit of an embarrassing story.
Years ago I was flatting with a friend of mine and we'd been up late talking in her room. We both fell asleep on her bed and during the night I took off my top as it was summer and hot. Completely innocent I swear!! Anyway, her boyfriend came round early in the morning and found us snuggled up asleep together. All day he was giving her cr@p about it. Sometime later they were talking about icecream. She said 'My favourite flavour is caramel' and he joked 'Oh so thats what you're calling her now' It stuck, and ever since then I've been cara-Mel. ------------- Mel, Mummy to E: 6, B: 4 and:

My name's Rebecca... I call myself "Becca"... my surname starts with "L"... lowercase is far easier on forums... hence "becca.l"
And miss - my husband is a teacher and he says the number of times he gets called "Miss" is quite incredible! ------------- Becca, mum of 2 girls & 3 boys |

Well... I put a lot of long hard thinking into my name... almost 22 years worth!
But really... the reason behind me using this name is that it's the name I use for virtually everything to stop me forgetting which signin name goes with which page
I'm truly security conscious (NOT) and use the same password for everthing as well... it throws me off in a big way when there is a limit to how many characters you can use (Or they specify more than my usual password is)

When I was little, I used to call sheep 'baa lambs' or Mum told us that was what they were called and cows were 'moo cows'. Don't know why coz dogs weren't 'woof dogs' and cats weren't 'meow cats' but anyway...
I been using this for everything for years as well, it's just stuck. I too forget which log in goes where so it's handy to have them all the same! |

Hello! My name real name is Sara!
(saaaahrah not seeerrraaa) I chose the name Peace for a few of reasons. 1) My initial name on IRC was ^Fairy or FairyofNavels and when I got to about 19 it seemed a bit young and lets face it there are enough teens who are fairies these days! 2)It was one of the names of the bots on the old Xtra IRC server one was called Peace the other Harmony. 3)The beginning of my favourite piece of writing is: Go placidly amidst the noise and haste and remember what Peace there maybe in silence.(I wonder how many know know what that piece of writing is...) I thought this was rather funny as I am not quiet! 4)Now it means something a bit closer to my heart as Olivia means "olive branch" or "peace" so it now stands for her. She is my Peace and she has quietened down my restless soul!! Gee I made that sound interesting! ------------- DD1 May 2006 DD2 March 2011 DD3 August 2012 |

Mine's just a very very short version of my own real name, Jacqueline. So you've got that, then Jacquie (which is what I put on any forms I fill out), then Jax ! I think the first person I can remember calling me that was my granddad, but now most people I know use it since it's simple and easy to remember. ------------- Jacquie - Mama to Erin, 13.07.06 - Chief Cat Chaser & Marmite Sammie Eater

I've got a friend Jax (Lena's older sister) I have only known her as Jax and can't imagine calling her, her full name. We do give each other stick and call each other their full name and she hates it.

| My uni password has to be changed every term. You can't log on unless you change it. And it can't be the same as any of the last 10 pass words you used. It frustrates the hell out of me as just when I get used to the password it asks me to change it!!! |
