    How you came about with your online name for bp.net. Mine is just my real-life initials, so there's not much of a story there. But some of you have really interesting names and I'd love to know the reason or idea behind them! :D

    Soul_Of_Fire
    Hey Judy
    My name came about from the title of a book that I read and loved, its part of the series I wrote and when I first read the term Soul Of Fire it just said so much to me that ment alot to me so thus I named myself Soul Of Fire.

    Ironhead
    My nickname came from Dale Earnhardt Sr's nickname who I have been a fan of since 1979. I started using the nickname Ironhead about 10 years ago and it just stuck, mainly due to the fact that I am very bull headed.

    Rest in peace Dale!

    Shadow_TA
    What a terrible experience!
    I got mine cause I went with my ex bow hunting, and loved to track whatever we were hunting. (Following like a shadow.. )I also have a nave blue metallic trans am that changes color in the shadows. So it got stuck with the nickname of shadow... that's how I came up with mine.

    Soul_Of_Fire
    Yes Judy I got it from the Sword Of Truth series by Terry Goodkind The greatest series I've ever read to date LOL. I'm currently on The Pillars Of Creation, can't wait to read Naked Empire gonna be sick LOL. After that I hear there are 2 more books coming out and thats the series ended.
    Andrew
    And Mike those 2 guesses was probably the choice of one and thats MOM LOL she put up with you way before your dad did by about 9 months and then at the end of it went through the pain of spitting you out LOL so sorry to say but your dad was lucky enough to agree with her. Jokes man keep her real.

    I think mine is obvious enough ;)

    Sassafrass
    Sassy is my nickname...and part of one of my other online id's....sassafrass just came from that somehow. :)

    Smulkin
    Been using this one online for a while as it just sounded somehow fitting - snagged it out of King Lear.
  • 04-12-2004, 09:20 AM
    Smynx
    Smulkin gave me mine. He's much better at coming up with these things than I am. Minx is one of his pet names for me (my favorite one, as a matter of fact). He put the "S" in front of it for symmetry (Smulkin and Smynx). I liked it, so I kept it.

    freakoverdose1
    A lonnnnnggggggg time ago, back in freshmen year of high school I was societyoverdose on everything and anything online. It came to be that that didnt' fit me too well, so I turned it into freakoverdose. Now, everyone just calls me freak. I use it in everything now, why think of new names everytime you join something new.

    Hockeymom
    I got mine from my kids, My own and those I coached. My first season of coaching Hockey my team got me a RED WINGS jersey with HOCKEYMOM on the back, and it just kind of stuck. I am very proud of my nickname, and my boys thinks it's cool that their mom plays and coaches Hockey.

    MacWin
    Comfortable?
    Mine came from computers one of my other passions.
    Mac = Macintosh
    Win = Windows

    Yes yes I am one of those weird Mac guys. :D
  • 04-12-2004, 02:07 PM
    JLC
    LOL...Wouldn't Macintosh and Windows be opposing passions? Even if they're both computer related? :wink:

    invadertoast
    The invader part of mine came from the cartoon Invader Zim when it came out a few years ago... I loved it then but am now kinda tired from it. And the toast part... well... I kind of like to eat toast, but I always thought toasters were neat since when you put bread into it, it can never be bread again. Where as if you microwave something it only makes it warmer, it will cool down and be the same thing again. Yeah yeah I'm weird... I even have a 1920's turnover toaster, lol.
  • 04-12-2004, 02:53 PM
    gen
    Gen is short for my name, Genna. And Genna is actually short for my full name, Genevieve. But I usually just go by Genna.

    Eddie_Z
    Eddie is my first name & Z is the first initial for my last name, Zyglis. Yeah, ZY puts me at the end of most alphebetical situations.

    Hebidoshi
    Hebidoshi is japanese for "year of the snake" which was the year I was born. My friend gave me the nickname a few months ago, and it just kinda stuck...

    jotay
    Jotay is spin off on my nickname Jody
    An old friend from work instead of calling me Jody would say it Jo-Tay
    So it became my screen name on AOL, actually Jotay13 but I cut it to just plain Jotay on here.

    I grew up in the North Dallas area (a variety of places) and lived there until I married my AF husband and we moved to Calif. But we lived four years in San Antonio before moving to DC this last summer. I also lived in Huntsville for a year.

    Kara
    Judy - I grew up in the North Dallas area, too!!! Lived just minutes from Addison for several years & then moved to Frisco back before the whole area got all built up - back when we could still ride our horses through the drive-through @ Golden Fried Chicken...in fact...back when there was still a Golden Fried Chicken on Hwy 121 instead of the car dealership that's there now.

    Lived in Denton for a few years, then back to Dallas for a couple more, now in NH.

    And do I sure miss good Tex-Mex & Shiner Bock!!!

    Small world!

    Hey Kara...small world indeed. I spent the better part of my growing-up years in The Colony, and then moved to Flower Mound when I was in high school. 121 isn't even recognizable anymore, is it? LOL!

    I get mine from an incident with a bike............love that part of the frame between the seat and handlebars.............
    Stop cringing everybody, I somehow managed to land just the right way so that while it looked mind-numbingly painful not to mention funny as hell, certain precious things did not get crushed (beautiful blind luck) and I was asked if I had parts made of steel.
