Explain Your Name!



Recommended Posts

I have often wondered what the login names of people mean if you have an unusual one. Mine is a mixture of words. My coworkers and I talk in a British accent sometimes and I always say "Pip pip cheerio!"..hence Pip. I also have a rescue cat we named Talula...hence lula...put them together..and Piplula was born. Please share! I am interested in the meaning of your handle!

i'm a big sci-fi buff.. one of the shows that i loved was called Farscape.. in that show, Chiana (a character) called females "nixa".. ie "hey nixa, what's up?" (she never said that, just using it in a sentence so you can see) so i just switched the i to a y.. and there's how i came up with "nyxa" :) when i signed up that was all i could think about for some reason.. :) lol short, sweet & to the point, though.. so it works. :)

People have been calling me Butterbean for 20 years because I look just like the fighter, Butterbean. I even have the stars and stripes shorts. I was playing in a softball tournament one time and some guy in the stands goes "hey Butterbean"...I said "hey" back. Then he turned to his friends and I heard him whisper, "I told you that was him".

COsleeveDude...

  • CO=Colorado, where I live, but not where I was born, hence masking my true origins...
  • sleeve=duh (although tatts are popular around here, but I don't have any)
  • Dude=I tend to call guys dude a lot, and COsleeveMan sounds like some lame superhero

Ever enter a Toughman? I might try some MMA once I'm in better shape, just for a workout.

I have a tattoo design that I am planning on getting on my right ankle once I reach goal. It's the classic "cherry" motif, but the cherries are balls of yarn and between the leaves at the top of the stem is a lit fuse. So, cherrybombknits :)

Mine is pretty straightforward: my first name plus my birthdate. I guess I wasn't too creative. I had considered RobustoTenor because that's what my voice category was when I sang opera in my younger days. I also wanted to use ConanTheLibrarian but I'm no longer muscular nor a librarian anymore.

You might like this: How Did You Choose Your Screen Name?

My story is in that thread:

When I was a kid there was a song my dad would whistle to me. It was "our song." I didn't know how to whistle yet, but I would make "mouth sounds" to try and imitate his whistling so I could whistle with him. He always whistled through his teeth so it had a sort of phonetic quality to it. My favorite part of the song was a repeating part and when he would whistle it, it always sounded like "wheetsin, whee hee heetsin, wheeeeeee heeeetsin" to me. So as I tried to whistle with him, this is what I would say.

I don't normally use this handle. I used it for Alex's AGB board thinking I'd never really log in that much, and here I am 7 years later still using it.

BTW I've met several people from the AGB board and I've been told, "You don't look like a Wheetsin." I guess that's a good thing...? :)

Sunny is the nick name I was blessed with since birth. My grandfather's nick name is Sonny. Cox is my partner's last name, but one I chose not to adopt due to my professional career and all the degrees and licenses on my wall have my maiden name.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
