Why are you who you are???

Rather than make this a thread on theology, ;) I want to know why you picked the screennames/names that you post under.

There must be a fascinating story!

Please share.

Wish it were more fascinating Heather. Frankykeno is just a take on our last name really - Franchino. Everyone always pronounces it as fran ch ino when it's fran k ino with a hard k sound. Hence franky keno. Bit of a boring story, told ya! :P

No originality here, I live in GA and I mainly have ball pythons.

Could have been Frenchie but I already get too much of that around here ;)

royal ...for pythons ...tartan for scots

pretty dull huh

My parents are from spain, I think the rest is self explanitory :)

Also is my nickname with all my buddies.

I am a big fan of cryptozoology...

For about a year and a half every piece of art work I did I signed it with my Sasquatch art logo..

A short time after I became a member I quit using the name and logo of Sasquatch Art..so I guess my name is pretty pointless now.

My initials are NV, so yea....en ve :confused: interesting huh :D

LOL, do I really need to state the obvious? Although since I have very little to do with the Gecko Den these days I could probably change it, but then no one would know it was me, and that would make the angels cry....;) :halohorn:

Mine is jeffnme..

Jeff is my husband and me...

not so interesting.

:cool:

but I do hate when people think my name...is Jeff!

:taz:

My screen name is my name backwards plus "me".

Icats = Staci

Many moons ago, when I still had a land line I had myself listed in the phone book/directory under my full name backwards. It was a hoot when telemarketers would call me.

nope...I'm all Memes.

Probably the most boring of all - my full name is Robin Abernethy. Back when I first got online, Bellsouth was my internet provider and they only allowed 8 character usernames, and autoassigned me rabernet (truncating my last name).

I have no creativity and didn't want to try to keep up with different usernames, so it's stuck with me.

I thought Reptilian sounded cool.

My nickname is Layna and my real name is Rhalina, phonetically sounding like this:
Ra lay nah though people I just meet call me Ra lee nah. One lady calls me Ragina, which is confusing cause there's no G in my name. So yeah.

Greenman is a Pagan diety of sorts. I've always liked what he stands for. Kind of the link between man and nature. I also have a greenman tattoo on my back.

I picked Jasballs cause it rymes with Jashole! Tomorrow at Noon. Will be the Nastiest Jas has ever been!!! Is it wrong to hit a GIMP?

Mine is from back in middle school :P I created an email with yahoo or something and there was a sticker of Tweety on the desk next to the key board. Later when I got a job at Sonic I had to clock in using 4611, so I knew it was a number I wouldn't forget :P Not very origonal, but it's something I won't forget!

Everyone who meets my dog Maddox asks me what kind of dog he is, then go "Catawhat?" Hence the name. Oh yea, 75 is the year I was born.

My initials. Short & simple! :)

I thought it was because it Tasted good? LOL!!:P

Mine came from the name of one of my alltime favorite dogs. He was a lrg blue merle mutt, great dane & german shepard. Weighed in a a hefty 135 lbs at 31 at the shoulder. Appeared to have a little pit thrown in for good measure. He was picked up at a local shelter, ticks, fleas, worms, mange, you name it, he had it. Weighed 60 lbs at the time. We just called him Blu. The mongoose part of his name came when he had a near fatal run in with a snake. He was such a good and protective dog. Was obedience trained to respond to hand signals for everything.

Now a lot of times I post somewhere and people are asking me about bicycles. Took me a long time to realize there is a line of bikes by the same name spelled with an e.

We will have many pets thru our lives, yet some will touch our hearts and souls forever.:)

i have my sn as one of my snakes name lol i have a friend on youtube who is call bonhkenni soo i thought of it as bonheki XD lol anyway i thought it was a cool name but this is the only fourm im as bonheki other fourms i go as carpondro17 lol

Mine is (Fire)... I spent 18 years as a career Firefighter/Paramedic and My nickname is (Hop)py.

It's my first name (I go by Kat a lot too). :O

Well...mine is pretty simple. First, this is a snake/reptile forum. Second, I adore dragons silver in particular. Third, Argentra is the name of my half elf/half silver dragon D&D character right now(Argent being French for silver), and one of my favorite characters so far. So, there you go. :)

so do you have a catahoula? they are beautiful dogs

Ah ha.. my name is AshleyB.. thus the name.

I got my nickname when I was 15 years old and a friends farm hand over heard me talking about a goose hunting trip, and then in the most cliche southern accent hollered out to my friends father (who raises geese), "We got ourselves a gooseman here, Mr. Hinkel, better hide the flock". It has forever stuck...

I picked up the nickname Lady in college. Whipple is my last name. So everyone called me Lady Whipple the whole first year in the dorms (apparently Lynn was harder to remember than Whipple :confused: :rolleyes: ).

Anyway, most people just call me Lady anymore---all my friends, even the people at work are starting to. Kinda wierd... but whatever!

Oh, yeah... '02 is the year I graduated high school.

I work in Television, so I see a lot of obscure programs. Needless to say about 10 years ago they did a re-make of Secret Agent Man. The lead character's agent name was "Monk". During one episode (which takes place in Japan..no bearing on the story) "monk" had to retrieve some various spy equipment from a snack machine. He typed "90222" in the keypad and got the equipment that he needed. So Monk90222 was born.

While sitting at my desk at work a long, long time ago, a lady that I worked with looked at me and said, "you look like a hootie!" Well, I don't even know what a hootie looks like, but it sorta stuck. I figured I had been called a lot worse, so what the heck. I started an e-mail account with hoo-t as my username, and now I use it for just about everything online. That was at least ten years ago. I still use that e-mail account as my primary e-mail, too.

Hmm... hootie - hottie - hootie - hottie ?!?!? Nah!!!!

interesting Charlie!

Let me just say, this is a great thread!

My name is Tyree

Some of my friends call me Ree

My mom always says I'm ridiculous
and i always use the word ridiculous

so Reediculous just seemed perfect!

JDMLS88
well im into cars and jdm is for hondas and acuras
Japanese
domestiic
market

and I drive an integra LS
and I was born in 88

pwilliams = Peter Williams
58 = Peter (5 letters) Williams (8 letters)

Lets see, where to start explaining mine... I love mixing and matching symbolism and fandoms and so on and so forth, but I do it so much sometimes that it gets hard to explain in a short and sweet way...

I've always been deeply interested in mythology, and owls are my favorite birds- barn owls in particular. I'd even go as far as to call the barn owl my totem animal. Owls were very associated with Athena, the Greek Goddess of wisdom with whom I've always been fascinated even when I was little.

Later, I kind of "discovered" Medusa and became obsessed with her, her looks, her story, snakes, etc. The deeper I dug into the connections between her and Athena, the history of the myths rather then the myths itself, it turns out they may have stemmed from the same North African goddess possibly as part of a trinity. That they were just two sides of the same coin, originally, and that it was changed later as the political/social/national pendulum swung as it tends to do.

I feel really sympathetic toward Medusa and don't see how a snake oriented being could be anything but beautiful. So I do a lot of art and story telling (I'm writing a novel about Medusa even) regarding different aspects of the story and the symbolism and so forth. Trying to put forth a different point of view of what she means and make snakes a more positive thing in people's minds.

The owl is Athena's messenger, and in a way I kind of think of myself as Medusa's messenger. Medusa's Owl. :)

There's really two reasons to my screen name. #1 - My favorite NASCAR driver was nicknamed Ironhead and #2 - Back in my partying days my buddies use to have me smash beer cans on my forehead and once a buddy made the comment, lets have old Ironhead smash our cans....So it kinda stuck and have had this nickname for about 25 years.

Well, almost EVERYONE is obsessed with penguins, including ALL of my friends. Personnally though, I think flamingos are way cooler. So, one day I stayed up until around 2 a.m. just chatting with one of my friends that ALWAYS tries to tell me that penguins are the cooler animals and I was trying to come up with an e-mail account, so I wanted it to do with flamingos. Due to the sleep deprivation induced slap-happy mood I was in, I came up with "neon flamingo", but thought it would be WAY more clever to spell it as "Knee on flamingo".

So now every time I see it, I can't help but to roll my eyes at the sheer stupidity that over comes me when I'm that slap-happy, but it makes me giggle a lot too, so I use it for everything.

So yeah... It's dumb, but I have anger issues, and need to laugh occasionally. :rolleye2:

Well, kinda in line with other peoples, I chose this kinda as a e-mail thing back in the day. I was Lady Oriental at the time, but the decided that was not PC enough, and changed it to LadyO. Problem is, someone else was as clever as I was, and already took the name, so I decided to add an H at the end for my first name. Didn't look right, so I added another H, so it looked "better".

Now, people that know me call me out as "Lady Ooohhhhhhhhh!"

You can imagine the types of sounds that that can make.. :rolleyes:

So, there you go. It stuck.

I like it. :)
