How did you pick your screen name

from WinCustomize Forums

I was looking at some submissions for the GUI's when I thought to myself, "What made them think of that screen name?"From that thought and many like it, I decided to start this thread to enlighten others who might be asking themselves the same question.

So, if you could please share with the community how you chose your screen name, it would be greatly appreciated!

I'll start, My husband's name is Brian so, inevitably I am Brysgirl!(I'm sure the science behind that was mind-boggling)

the st is the first two letters of my surname... the ark is the last three letters of my first name... making stark, sort of like a spoonerism of sorts. The ers got tacked on by my first wife after an incident involving our cat whining at the front door shortly after I'd gotten into bed, me being instructed to find out what was wrong with it and then having her shut the door behind me, turning on the entry light and highlighting to the entire neighbourhood that I was stark bollock naked and holding a whining cat.

Hmmm, would have looked rather suspicious to anyone who mave have happened to be looking out their window right about then, but thankfully none of the neighbours commented so I concluded that none of them had seen a thing.

One can look back in retrospect and say; "I should have put some pants on", but at the timel, I just wanted quickly to bring the cat in - after all, it was dark outside, and nobody was going to see anything - check to see if was hurt or something, put it back out and get back to bed.  I mean, how was I to know she was going to creep down the hallway behind me, slam the door shut and giggle like all buggery when she turned on that confounded light.

So, starkers it was, and pretty much has been ever since. O:)

Picking up an upset cat while pantless can be very hazardous,you are lucky to still be singing in the same choir section if you know what I mean. :meow: 8O

The cat wouldn't have dared... not if he wanted to keep his love marbles... and I'm sure that cat understood every word I ewer said to it.  I'd only have to threaten: "Do you wanna go see the vet for a cut and tuck tommorow?" and he'd instantly behave. :-"

Nah, he was just a fairly placcid cat with a great temperament and responded well when spoken to... however, he was hurt and that's why he was whining. 

I can't remember the name of it off-hand, but there was a similar thread where we had a bit of fun with this before, and yeah, there were similar comments regarding claws and singing soprano, as I recall. ;P

Many years ago my friend started a web page called Dark-Z.com , he asked me to make the graphics for the site. That was one of my first works. I decided then to call myself Pixel-Z. Today the Dark-Z.com site is no more active. 8O o_O

Nope, I'm from Wisconsin.  There are a lot of Karen Lowes in the world.  Plus, I only became Karen Lowe eight years ago when I married my present husband.   My maiden name is Kwekkeboom (pronounced queck-a-boom), and yeah...life got a little easier on me when it comes to introducing myself after I got married.

Like I haven't heard that one a million times growing up.  (Imagine, a chubby, somewhat clumsy girl growing up with that last name, and the cruelty of children being what it is....it's surprising I've never been institutionalized.)

I'm just a big Disney freak. Was one as a kid and here I am 46 years later and still one. Don't know....maybe it's just the smile that I see appear on a child's face whenever they see Mickey Mouse. It kind of brings a lot of warmth to my heart, which we all need in these days and trying times, of course......then they see me and go running and screaming for their mothers!

My on name.

danilloOc = Danilo de Oliveira Castro

The extra "L" was cause I couldn't register the name in a e-mail provider

cause the name with a single "L" was already taken.
