    Any Anne Boleyn fans? I've had a couple people get the reference and ask about it in threads/message me... "The Most Happy" was her royal motto when she became queen. I love it because it's like, so bold but obviously has an edge of desperation since she had a brief and unhappy marriage- it's ambitious, in your face, ironic, an all around badass motto!

    Fun fact (not really): For some reason, every time I saw your name when you were new, I read it as "thermos" happy and had to train myself to read it correctly.
    HAHA yeah I mean I guess thermoses (!?) are cool too...
  • It's actually my professional "title". It started at work years ago as a joke and stuck when someone published an article about me in the paper and mentioned it. I have been using it on my show for the past 5 years. I'm ornery and like watching stuffy people squirm when they have to use it :)
  • Mine is from Its Always Sunny where Charlie tried to make and sell kitten mittens. The show is pretty crass but Charlie is sadly hilarious.
  • I picked mine after lurking for a while and it was based off the crazy SS we see here. I'll prolly change it soon. It is really long to write out.
  • When H and I were having huge, serious issues with his mom, I had posted about them here and I was afraid she might come here, so I made a new account. When I first signed up here, it was the beginning of football season (actually around now - H proposed on 8/9) so I picked beardownbchs (bear down bitches) as my name, not even knowing there was a community I'd ever be a part of. I no longer care if my MIL lurks here and sees me bitching about her.

    Just call yourself SSFlake
  • Mostly mine is because I'm an auburn fan and grad. The most popular cheer at football games is called Bottagetta, and there's a line in it that says "weagle, weagle, war damn eagle" and our college radio station is WEGL (keep WEGL weird!). Most of my other handles online are really identifying, so I like wegl being pretty bland.

    Sie is a nickname. So I'm Just Sie. I'm boring sometimes.

    @winstonsgirl Sorry to hear about your hedgie. I had one as well, a male named Herbert, who also died of cancer. Those little buggers are prone to it :/ 

    I attached a picture of my herbs, if anyone wants to see him. 


    ETA: I wouldn't notice someones screen name change, but I kind of picture most of you as your signatures. So for some of you that have GIFs I see you as the person in them, when two people have the same actor/actress as a GIF I get confused! ha!

    Herbert is awesome!!  I love names like that for hedgies.  And yes, they are prone to cancer.  Winston was almost 5 years old, so he was getting up there.  We noticed it one day when it was a small tumour and within 2 weeks it had spread to about 3/4 of his jaw.  It was very fast, though he was wheeling and eating till the end, so I don't think it bothered him too much

  • I started out with a UN that I use for Instagram, Twitter, etc so when I randomly posted more I got freaked out if I ever shared more or all my engaged real life peeps would come on here they would identify me so I changed it when I binged watched SOA and was obsessed w the show and now I'm too lazy / uncreative to change it. I also could not for the life of me figure out how to change my avatar. I looked recently and couldn't figure it out. Also couldn't figure out how to add a location. But I managed to figure out a gif signature awhile ago. I'm oddly technicologically incompetent sometimes.

    I had to long into the bump to change my avatar (same ID and password as tk) and I asked KR to add my location. You're not alone.

  • My fiancé's name is Random. I'm his love. I didn't want to use anything I've used online before, so...





  • I've just always had a thing for pin ups. Also, I'm a bride to be. Eh. 
    I like pin ups too. I have reproductions of old pin up drawings hanging in my bathroom. They're so sexy and suggestive without being OTT.
    Exactly! I have a bunch of prints I want to have framed to hang, I just haven't gotten around it yet. It always seems to be one of those 'next paycheck' things.
    Gil Elvgren, anyone? I have a book of his work and I love it! 

    Anyway, my name doesn't have a cool story behind it. I love to read and I write, my dog's name is Novel, so I went with Novella.

  • It's a play on the word cupcakes using my name and the numbers are my wedding anniversary. I kind of hate it now but I'm not creative enough to come up with anything new.
  • My name is Emma and that was taken so I added letters.

  • My name and birthday (month/day).  Not at all creative but whatever.

  • I love the beach, and 15 is my birthday date.

  • Mine used to be not-so-anonymous, but I changed it once I got a bit more active. Sparkle Pants is a silly nickname we gave our dog once when I was wrapping Christmas gifts with glittery paper and she decided to "help" by laying down on the paper. When she got up, it looked like she was wearing sparkly pants - so, hence the name. Also, 41 is one of my favorite DMB songs.

  • Winston was the name of my hedgie, in my avatar.  I was his girl.  We put him down a couple of years ago now.  :(  He had cancer
    Aw, so sad.  We had a hedgie in grad school, Charlie.  Bless his little teeny, tiny heart.  Long gone as well.  Sidebar, I guess I didn't look very carefully at your avatar (or I'm going blind) b/c I always thought it was an owl.  
  • My DH calls me his "little mushroom" as a pet name. It started out as a joke, but kinda stuck.
  • Mine is a line from and title of a Tab Benoit song.  He's a southern rock & roller from Homa, LA.  It definitely describes me as I've spent the last several years going back and forth between New Orleans and NYC.  This was my first online forum so I just dashed it out w/o capital letters and I can't gif or add a siggy so I'm also boring :(   
  • The numbers are my husband's birthday 8/9/84. I tried to change it to just one number so it would be easier for people to remember/ tag me but all the single and double digits were already taken.

    @kittenmitten84 I also think Charlie is so hot

    @justie I always assumed your name was Justina. I know someone named that who goes by Justie.

  • Mine is so boring. I hate having to make up screen names! I just wanted to get goin' on the boards so in a fit of impatience I typed in "thisismynickname." 

    I met my husband on Match and trying to figure out a nickname for that was so irritating. I think I put in some variation of RunnerGirl.  And there were, like, 20 versions of "Chi Runner Guy" to choose from in terms of who had a high percentage match with me, haha. ("Chi" is a nickname for Chicago, by the way.)

  • This is fun! I like hearing why people have the names they do. 

    Mine is pretty straight forward, one of the many nicknames for our pup is Monster and I love her so.. love me some monster. And here is the terrifying face that goes with the name.

  • I originally had a version of my name on here.  Then my sister got engaged and started planning her "wedding" for shortly after mine. I got worried that she would get on here and see me talking crap about her 3-hour gap PPD, so I changed my name to something more anonymous.  Although, if she were on here, she probably wouldn't have had a PPD or a 3-hour gap. (I tried to steer her in the right direction and even told her to come to this forum, but my attempts failed). Anyway, I like Star Wars... My dog is named is Leia. And my wedding was on the 22nd.

    I know a while back there was a big group that changed their screen names all at once (me included).  People definitely pay more attention to the signatures and avatars than screen name. When everyone was changing names, you could still figure out who was who as long as those were the same. But, if you change screen name, avatar, and siggy all at one, you might as well be a newbie because nobody will know you.

  • If someone I knew was on here they would probably figure out who I am since I am Kimmi and Koley is my nickname for my FI.  Luckily, I'm one of the last single girls, as Carrie Bradshaw would say, so I don't foresee that happening:).

    I didn't know this until after the nickname stuck but it's also what his grandmother calls his grandfather; they've been married for 65 years, hold hands everywhere they go and he still refers to her as his bride so the nickname is even more endearing now!

    I wondered what Monster was. I just figured you really liked energy drinks.
