Blessed Posted April 29, 2007 Report Posted April 29, 2007 7 years ago I became a member of my church's webboard and I had to pick a moniker. Sitting at the computer I sat thinking of various names, but wanted something that really captured all of who I am. So I typed out the name Blessed. I chose that name as I looked at all the good in my life and even the bad aspects and see how my life had played out and I truly felt Blessed. It has stuck with me from board to board. :) How did you chose your moniker and what makes it so special? I wanna know. Quote

I wanna know.I have many on-line names from the 10 or so forums that I visit regularly, yet I've never been on an LDS forum before - I didnt even know one existed! For me, I've always had things to say about anything other than LDS stuff. Now that I am 100% active again, in good standing, I have a lot to say! So, be prepared for a FLOOD! Quote
Dr T Posted April 29, 2007 Report Posted April 29, 2007 Great question Blessed. During my postdoc training I focused on child and family. The children often called me "Dr. T" so I used it now and then. Quote
sgallan Posted April 29, 2007 Report Posted April 29, 2007 First initial.... last name. So I can remember it. Quote
Dr T Posted April 29, 2007 Report Posted April 29, 2007 But sgallan, what do you do if you are away from your computer to remember your name? Oh, probably your drivers license. A name tag? Write it on your hand? (Couldn't resist-only joking) Quote
CrimsonKairos Posted April 29, 2007 Report Posted April 29, 2007 My original appellation was ApostleKnight...had to do with how I viewed myself. Then someone hacked this site and deleted my account. So I wanted a new name that invokes thoughts of Christ's atonement. Crimson = blood Kairos = "The right time" or "God's appointed time" (literally means "opportunity" in Greek) CrimsonKairos = God's appointed time to bleed = Gethsemane/Calvary Quote
sgallan Posted April 29, 2007 Report Posted April 29, 2007 A name tag?Actually, when I look at a name tag my name changes. It becomes.... ttocs. Then i really get confused. I guess I suffer from halfheimers..... Quote
Dr T Posted April 29, 2007 Report Posted April 29, 2007 I guess I suffer from halfheimers..... "Halfheimers" did you just coin a phrase? :) I'm not understanding where the "ttocs" comes from. Quote
john doe Posted April 29, 2007 Report Posted April 29, 2007 I guess I suffer from halfheimers..... "Halfheimers" did you just coin a phrase? :) I'm not understanding where the "ttocs" comes from.Try 'Scott' backwards. Quote
pam Posted April 29, 2007 Report Posted April 29, 2007 Let's see....why did I choose pam? Hmmm....well perhaps it's because of my first name. Or Pammy (there you go Dr. T) It does suit me. What makes me special? Well..because I just am. I used to use the phrase Halfheimers all the time. Could only remember half of anything. Still jokingly use it somewhat. My dad has Alzheimers so probably not quite as much. Quote
pushka Posted April 29, 2007 Report Posted April 29, 2007 Pushka is the name of my 5 years old cat. I loved the name so chose it for my use on any message board I visit. Quote
babygirl Posted April 29, 2007 Report Posted April 29, 2007 i love to dance its one of my most fav things in the whole intired world! and im a girl...go figure, lol Quote
susieSA Posted April 29, 2007 Report Posted April 29, 2007 My little sister (not so little as she is taller than me ) who I have become very close to (since moving to Malaysia) calls me Susie (that and the fact that I am not very creative sometimes).. The SA is for where I am from and represents part of who and what I am :) Quote
Dr T Posted April 29, 2007 Report Posted April 29, 2007 Thank you JD. I really can't believe I didn't get that. I've been off the last couple of days, not feeling well, slowing down. Running down. Duh. Quote
Blessed Posted April 29, 2007 Author Report Posted April 29, 2007 This is so neat. CK, I really like how you chose yours. Doc, get to feeling better soon. I made a pineapple upside down cake and you can't have any of it till you are back to your ole self. :-) Quote
shanstress70 Posted April 30, 2007 Report Posted April 30, 2007 Mine's from Sat. Night Live. When I was in college, there was a skit where the copier guy (Richmeister) added 'meister' or 'stress' to everyone's name who walked in to make copies. 'Shannon' (which is my name) walked in and he addressed her as 'Shanstress'. That name stuck through college and afterward. 70 is the year of my birth. Quote
Outshined Posted April 30, 2007 Report Posted April 30, 2007 From one of my all-time favorite songs, Outshined, by Soundgarden. B) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHuyB9V7sdoThat scream Chris Cornell lets out after the second chorus still gives me goose bumps... Quote
lisajo Posted April 30, 2007 Report Posted April 30, 2007 Well when i was in high school my best freind (still is) didn't like my name cause i got alot of teasing for it, (Lisa Gay) so one day at the store she saw a tag with Lisa Jo on it and from that day (25 years ago) i have been Lisa Jo Now mind you i do like my name, my brother named me but for sites and fun it's Lisa Jo Quote

B) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHuyB9V7sdoThat scream Chris Cornell lets out after the second chorus still gives me goose bumps...I knew I recognized your name form somewhere, but couldn't remember where. I like Soundgarden. :) Shantress... that is a funny way to be addressed! Lisa Jo is wayyyyy better than Lisa Gay!! DOH! Quote
shanstress70 Posted April 30, 2007 Report Posted April 30, 2007 In case there are any SNL fans out there that may remember the copy guy character, here's a skit for you. I couldn't find the exact one with my name though.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wF3r4iBVrUg Quote

Maureen Posted April 30, 2007 Report Posted April 30, 2007 When I thought of a username, I couldn't figure out anything creative, so I just went with my first name. On other sites (Star Trek) I go by meesha (a lovely family member who resides in kitty heaven). :) M. Quote
CrimsonKairos Posted May 1, 2007 Report Posted May 1, 2007 That's funny, Maureen. We have a wolf/german shepherd mix named Meisha. Smartest dog I've ever known. In her old age, now she's the laziest dog I've ever known...acts like she should be treated as a person, not a dog. Wolves are too smart for their own good. Quote
Palerider Posted May 1, 2007 Report Posted May 1, 2007 Several years ago at work , a few of us were sitting around talking about movies . I mentioned I loved the old western movies with Clint Eastwood. From that day on someone I use to work with called me Pale....short for Clint Eastwood's movie....Pale Rider....... Quote
