Where did your screen name come from?????
The name change thread gave me this idea a few weeks back. We all have screen names and some of us just use our real names but may have used screen names in the past.
I thought it would be fun to have a place to explain why you picked the one(s) you did and if it is meaningful to you in someway. I'll go first.... I was SouthernBelle for many years because, well i am southern. I used this name for around 10 years on yahoo and in yahoo chat rooms. When i found the dash site, a few years ago, that name was already taken. I was at a loss. My dad always called me his princess so i just picked that and combined it with belle because most people called me belle anyway and still do. Ok....now your turn.... :) |
Back when I picked Apocalipstic I wanted something powerful, explosive, shocking and funny.
I was playing around with "the Apocalypse" and Apocalipstic jumped in my head and I totally cracked up. |
ok, wheeeeee fun fun fun..ty
My wife and I owned a paint your own pottery studio. She loved to throw on her wheel and I loved to handbuild with clay. We came up with name of "claybabytwo" since it was two babes who loved to play in clay..so it stuck..recently I "changed" mine to just claybaby...since she is no longer here...it is just one babe playing in the clay...RIP Cathy!
Thanks for this thread, as I , too wonder what the significance is of people's screen names...Clay |
I had a welch corgi mix years ago, she was like my daughter, went every where with me, from the shelter in Maui where I found her to Fresno where she passed at 15, and several states in between. Her name was Corkey, my best bud and my heart. It is my perpetual reminder of her and her spirit.

See?
These are already touching stories. Even if it is a just "fly by night" type of name, to me, it is still interesting. Afterall, these names are who we are when we first meet people on here. I just find it very informative and meaningful. Call me sappy lol. Thank you to all who share!!!!!!!(f) |
Not too long before I found the Dash site I was helping some friends fix up a house they had just purchased. It had a lot of woodwork that was painted over that they wanted stripped off. There was one door that was being very stubborn. I tried everything- a heat gun, chemicals, etc. The paint was just not coming off. I wailed away at it for hours and hours. My friends told me to stop or take a break. I refused, lol. They said you are such a bulldog and started calling me that. When I found the Dash site I thought bulldog sounded like a good butch screen name. So I chose that and have been BullDog ever since. I do think it suits me. I may be just a little stubborn. :|
As to Bully, Hank and some others were the first to start calling me that on the Dash site. Quite a few people call me that, here online as well as in real life. My former roommates (butch femme couple) call me Bully and they haven't been on a bf site in years. Their whole family does as well and other people they have introduced me to. |
My username
It was not very hard to come up with my username. I am in the music industry hence music and well man is self explanatory lol lol lol

*said in the most loving way. I remember when i was there and we met a friend of yours in the grocery store and she said "Hey Bully" I was shocked. It is perfect for you!!!! |
Always wanted to be a bad girl in the Pink Ladies ;)
My all time favorite movie was Grease. My screen name comes from the scene in the diner where Rizzo throws a strawberry milkshake in Kinicky's face and says, "from me to you PinkieLee".
When I joined the dash site in 2002... it was the first name that popped into my head! |
Great question and thread!
The one who wouldn't dare
reach out, reach in and touch you the way you needed her to, who made an art form of her feigned despair, who believed the needs of one far outweighed the needs of two, I'm so not her. |
It's goes a lil somethin' like this...
My Owner renamed me after I turned 26 to Snow, I was allowed at that time to use the Lady hence The Lady Snow. Snowy, Snowie One, Snowball, Snowflake,Snowypuffarooos are all names friends or chosen family have and do call me.. DJ refers to me as bestest FBG in the world.. Heh

New Zealand.
It's Maori for "special," "sacred," "untouchable." What? |
What's in a Name?
For years on a different site I was called katrinka82 (katrinka was a nickname given to me by my grandfather so I was honoring him). I moved sites and wanted a fresh start (not that i am a bad girl or anything, just growing up a bit). I am a college professor to hence the Prof part and a good friend of mine was always calling me a hottie (i don't always see it but I am trying)...
hottprof |
Tapu, May I ask; are you from NZ?
Mine is self explanitory; I'm New Zealander and have a quirky personality - I'm not poor enough to be crazy and not wealthy enough to be eccentric, lol! The number 1 because one of the websites I'm on a numeral has to be used in the username. |
Many years ago there floated around Usenet this "what is your porn name" meme, except they weren't called memes yet. The formula was your mother's maiden name + the street you grew up on. My mother's maiden name made me sound like an accountant rather than a porn star so I used my grandmother's instead. Hence I was Slater Bates. I started using that as a screen name for awhile and then shortened it.
|
Mine was easy.... I am heavily tattooed, I'm also a huge Matrix fan. Trinity is incredibly strong not to mention HAWT!
|
My screen name when I first joined the dash site in 1999 (whatever the year the site opened? 1998?), was MTBNGirls (stands for mountain biking and girls), two things I like.
In 2005 I decided I wanted to change the name. I am not creative by any stretch of the imagination and all that kept coming to my mind was my friend calling me a dapper Butch. So, I decided to just go with that. |
Are you KIDDING?
Julie? My Daddy! Actually Julie is the female version of one of my mom's uncles Julius - I was named after a man. LOL this obviously was not what you were asking... But it is my name and my screen name. |

I KNEW you would say this. Read the OP oh Julie one. You never listen to me. xoxoxoxo |
Sue plus a play on my last name. Suebee has been my nickname for years. I wish I had a more inventive story to tell, but at my age it's just as well I don't get too confused with people calling me different names. ;)

I dated a guy in high school who was in an Explorer troop. Explorers were (are?) the co-ed Boy Scout level.
The whole group had nicknames from Tolkien. He was Strider. I am fair skinned and dark hair. I became Arwen. My best friend at the time was blonde. She was Galadriel. Our other friends were Eowyn and Morwen. I also dated Treebeard from that group. Treebeard and I are still very good friends. I've used Arwen as a camp nickname although that got changed to Sarge (long funny story). I'm Arwen in Circle although that is not my full name but it is my Outer Court name. I'm Arwen to those that know me socially. The only ones that call me Stephanie are those who think it makes them closer to me or my family or work. I've been called Arwen off and on beginning in 1976. Yes, I've even read the Simarillion. LOL |

OMG I have been scolded by Jagg and Dapper.
I felt a little warm. Okay -- InfiniteFemme -- Infinite, because Infinite is Infinite. And Femme, because I am Femme. I am happy to have removed both from my screen name -- Nothing is really infinite, unless you are giving gratitude, such as Infinite Gratitude or it could be, Infinite Love - but is that really a reality? Can one give Infinite Love? And if they are giving it, how long does it really last? See, what I mean? Femme, because I do not like to broadcast that I am a Femme. I much prefer to keep people guessing. Oh and BELLE - I don't have to EVER listen to you or follow your gosh dang southern rules. Julie |
Alright I'll spill the beans. Back when I started on the dash site in 1998 long before the hundred different web providers, and changes came along, I chose the name JAGG. Because I really liked the look of the XJ model Jaguar in the late 90's. So that's it nothing too profound. hahahaha Even though I don't care for them much anymore, I wouldn't change my name because that's what everyone knows me as, JAGG .

Many years ago, I belonged to MSN & Yahoo groups and was ButchieBandit on them.
That name was comprised from 2 cats I had at the time, Butch and Bandit Since leaving those groups behind for real butch femme sites, I wanted a fresh start and a name that fit ME. I adore wolves and I was alone at the time. Although wovles usually run in packs, every now and then, you will find a lone wolf. Trying to find a name a few of my ex's would not recognize and try to follow me around (until I started writing poetry again), the thinking process began. That my Planeteers is how WolfyOne came to be. It sounded good, it seemed to fit and I've run with it for years now. I'll never change it for another. |

And you know that the last line of your post i can hear you saying with that "over exaggerated" southern accent of yours. Cracks me up. TY for playing BY THE RULES :readfineprint: |
And...
Because people invariably always misspell: INFINITE BELLE! |

I have no idea what you are talking about. And. well, that's it for now. |
Katee Sackhoff
My screen name came from a character on the scifi show Battlestar Galactica, the one that ran from 2004-2009. In this one, Starbuck is played by a woman named Katee Sackhoff, and is a badass Marine who doesn't take shit from anyone, not to mention she is H.O.T.! I really got into the show but I truly watched it just to see her. Short, blond hair and butch to boot, mmmmmm. :awww:

Okay so my name, I have always been a bit of a Dreamer so when I first came to the BF sites I chose the name Dreamweaver. That name was taken and I was in a hurry and so I made it DownUndeDreamer seeing I am an Aussie and all. I had the same nic when I came on here but after awhile decided it was to long to type everytime I logged on *I am a lazy bugga* and I figured by then everyone knew I was from Down Under and so I shortened it to just Dreamer. And the rest is history lol.

Afraid not. I was reading a Ngaio Marsh novel when I needed a screen name and Tapu popped into my head from that. I love her books, especially the ones set in NZ. (yes, cinderella, i thought of the string, too) |

This turned out pretty well for me: Peppy Littleton! Maybe we need a thread for this.... |
The song by Jeff Healey "Angel Eyes" was sung to me at a bar back in the middle 90's. My nickname is "Babygirl". So I combined the 2 and here we are....Babyangeleyez.

Cajun_dee has always been a name I use online since my real name is not on the internet, anywhere... |
For years I worked for a cross country horse hauling company,most times I drove alone so one night I was on the cb and one of the other truckers ask if I had a co driver...I replyed, no I dont,so then she said you are quite the Lone Wolf.So for years I went by that and even to this day some folks still call me that.How I got the one I have now is I was trying to get loged on another web site but I wouldnt take anything I submitted so I just typed in my show horses hame..so lo and behold Rockinonahigh became my sn.I still like Lone Wolf better.My midle name is really Michael but hardly anyone uses it,they use Rockin,Rocky, Mike,Mickey,LW or +*%& wich I really dislike.Yes it dose get confuseing.
