Well, first of all, what my name does NOT mean. At another site I spelled my name as one word, bonnemaman. Many people would quickly glance at it and thought it said something I did not intend at all! I didn't find out about this until months later when a real time femme friend asked.
"Why is your name, "bonin my man" on the website!
Just to be clear. I have not, nor ever intend to, bone anyone.
The real source of my name. This other bf site was the first social site I ever joined. I was sitting at my computer drinking wine out of a jam jar, while considering this pseudonym business for the first time. This jam is a brand of jam I buy often, as the jar is wider at the rim than at the bottom, and I like to use them for juice, wine, etc. The brand name of the jam is french:
Bonne Maman
It means, "good mom." I couldn't think of anything better, so went with that.
Stone to Bone was the first to give me the nickname, "bonne." Mr. Bent and Ezee Tiger have come up with a few other nicknames for me.
I did have another funny moment at the other site late one night when I typed, "My fingers are all sticky and there is bonnemaman jam all over my keyboard." I got some crap for that.
