Our picture was taken at Gator Joe's about five years ago during a terrific party with friends. Irish Rover is just one of those names Irish guys like to be known by. The Banshee on the other hand ---- oh well I won't go there. Nice topic.:coolsmiley:

We've had a whole bunch of new members since this was started a year ago. Just thought I would trot it out again, and sit back and chuckle about screen names.

Let us know.

SUNNYMARYANN 01-04-2009 01:44 PM

Background of my nick
 
When I first started chatting way back when, I was living in Mexico Beach, in the panhandle of Florida. After living in gloomy Wisconsin for years, everything seemed to sunny to me so I chose the nick sunnyfl7 which I still use in the old chat room. I switched to Sunnymaryann because I have to have a registered nick in so many places and I chose to use my own name added to sunny so that I could use one universal name everywhere.

The picture is of me at Disney in Oct and I put it there cause I hate how fat I am and it is supposed to be an incentive to either lose weight or live with it.

Homeball is a type of signal used on the New York City Subway system. Guess where I retired from. And the avatar speaks for itself.

You're looking at Baby Monroe, our 3-legged cat. He was Mr. March 2008 on the Pratt & Whitney Calendar. He thinks he's a celebrity.

dillywho 07-12-2009 07:03 AM

Re: Name
 
Our last name gets really mangled by most. One person actually said "Dillywho?" and that's how it came to be.

Incognito
 
Years ago I saw a hockey player with the name Lecroix on his jersey. I said at the time, if I ever use an alias it's going to be Kitty Lecroix-isn't that coolsounding? Somehow, it stuck with a couple of my siblings and I kind of like it too!

Kitty (not really Lecroix)

k2at 07-12-2009 09:36 AM

My name is my amateur radio call. I am a ham radio operator and each operator has his own unique call. I also use the name because as I get older I forget more and more. I have had this call for 25 years. Hard to forget.

babbs455 07-12-2009 09:39 AM

kitty that sounds like you should be a movie star in some sultry-steamy movie on the big screen heehee!!:MOJE_whot:

cybrgeezer 07-12-2009 10:31 AM

When you change pictures on this board, apparently the new picture goes with your past posts (similarly, even your older posts will show your current number of posts). So, this thread has some interesting combinations of current pics and old explanations. For instance:

Several buffalo: "My daughter and me."

A good-looking blonde: "My Missouri Fox Trotter Rusty."

A cat: "One of my birds (inside the cat, perhaps?)."

Two dogs: "Me at Disney."

-------

And my name? I use the same name on about a half-dozen message boards. This is cyberspace and I am usually the old geezer on those boards. If anyone asks, I say I was short of cash and had to sell a vowel to Wheel of Fortune but the truth is, it started as an AOL screen name back when AOL limited them to 10 characters.

And no picture because I'm so good looking, it might excite too many of the ladies on the board.

kittylecroix 07-12-2009 12:02 PM

Babbs455,
Yeah! That would be cool.
Oh, my picture is me with one of my granddaughters, Olivia, at her dance recital a year ago. She calls me KiKi. KiKi Lecroix sounds pretty steamy too.

My name is my nickname and first initial of the last not very original.

The picture is of a stainglass project I am thinking of trying next (as my husbands crest is a flying crane design.) It was on my computer so I stuck it in not much thinking went into it. Wish my pics of the fireworks over lake washington I took from my deck came out but I can't take a good picture to save my soul :yuck: so you are stuck with cranes for now.

Most of you are much more original than I was.

babbs455 07-13-2009 05:09 AM

[QUOTE=cybrgeezer;214251]When you change pictures on this board, apparently the new picture goes with your past posts

yeah i saw that..i changed my pic to the one where I was in the singing contest down on the square at margaritas or what ever the name of the establishment is...and they all changed
technology is somethin!

Campbell soup 07-13-2009 06:51 AM

The picture is one that I find quite thought provoking. The name is a nickname I have had my entire life.

petenj 02-17-2010 08:40 PM

The picture is of me and my ride on one of my favorite trips.
The name reflects a lack of originality at the time. I belong to a motorcycle club, and for years was known as 'Coyote", native american a trickster. Yes, I was always the guy playing jokes. I am trying to live that down.

otherbruddaDarrell 02-18-2010 09:24 AM

I switch Avatars around a little. Sometimes I will use my picture......since we are frogs, I like this one.
When I introduce myself to people here they always say....Darrell and his other brother Darrell...........hence otherbruddadarrell
Much easier then the other nickname I had with the Veterans Motorcycle riders groups I belonged to (AVMRA American Veterans Motorcycle Riders Association and The Many Horses Tribe Of The Calumet Region, also The Worldwide Wimpy Whiney Woosies Breakfast Club Riders)........I was named Tomatoface in AVMRA and Eating Bearclaws in the other.
