How'd You Get Your Username?

[hilabeans]

I was just thinking about this the other day and lo & behold, there are a couple of ancient threads on it. But they're years old and I didn't recognize many of the members, so I'm making a new one for 2018.

How'd you get your username? Some are rather straightforward (ahem...Deborah), other's are a mess of letters and #s (looking at you, c0r3yr0s3). Just curious for your stories!

I'll kick it off: hilabeans is a riff on the American colloquialism for something being trivial ("that's not worth a hill of beans"), and my name - Hilary.

Not terribly original, but my cleverness isn't worth a hill of beans.

Soooooooo being a mad keen Incubus obsessive , everytime I tried to register a web domain / Twitter / Instagram account in the name of Incubus - it had already been taken so I went for Zincubus .... Initially I started with Zinc Ubus but it evolved into Zincubus . Oddly enough many online contacts refer to me as Zinc ...

Originally I was set on getting a GSD a few years back so I was in a huge dog phase aha. Got involved in forums, books, shows and research. All that jazz. Even got in contact with a breeder and put a deposit on a litter we were waiting on. Settled on wanting a female and calling her "MISSterdog" hence my user name :p

Unfortunately getting a dog didn't work out. Bad timing, bad financial situation, living situation and incompatible lifestyle. It wouldn't have been fair to get a puppy just because I wanted one. Sadly my dog dreams have been shelved until I feel I'm confident enough and ready to provide the care and commitment a dog deserves. So I've settled on cats and snakes lol

For now I'm happy watching @redshepherd living my dog dreams for me :p

for now :p

It's quite easy. My first name is Caroline (pronounced the French way) and my middle name is Alicia (also pronounced the French way) hence my user name Caali. It's basically just the first two letters of my first name and the three first letters of my second name put together.

I'm lazy... It's my name with numbers in place of letters

Back in 04 I got into a bunch of jeep and offroading forums. Most users had something with the make and model of their vehicle for their screen name. Not wanting to be like every other jeep owner I used one of my other cars. I've used it on every forum since.
