What does your username mean? - Page 3

Bootboi · 11-19-2009, 12:14 PM

After years of using the online name "EnDive" (yes after a type of lettuce) LOL

It just didnt suit me anymore and I also wanted to move from the past. I always tagged myself as bootwrnbutch so its kind of a derivative of that.

So Boot or Bootboi suits me now and has for the past 3 years.

This is true! My FB name is Gin....and some still use the fullblown birth name...

These days, I prefer just G.

Toughy · 11-19-2009, 01:33 PM

I needed a username and was going through hell trying to figure it out. One day I was sending an email to a friend and saw the addy........toughone@__________

BINGO........I stole that name from my bud........laughin....and

toughy was born...........way back then I didn't capitalize it, however (smiling at WT and Bit) I had several kinky folk decide I was a bottom/sub because I didn't capitalize it. I'm a Top/Dom. So it became Toughy and always has been Toughy since I have been on line.

People call me T or Toughy depending on where they meet me first....

I go by my given name at work and generally have even when it was a LGBTQI agency. My blood family has a nickname for me....my ex-wife called me that before she knew my family called me that......I also have a Goddess name.

Isadora generally calls me by my given name........she is one of the rare ones outside work and blood family.

The thing I find most interesting.....depending on which name you call me, affects, mostly in subtle ways, how you interact with me.....

Dean Thoreau · 11-19-2009, 03:27 PM

...............long long time ago back before there were any Butch femme places I played Backgammon on line at a few sites and was Thoreau.....then one day I found little place called lesbiannation.com which led me to gay.com which lead me to stroll in when a butchfemme place was created oh about 12 years ago.....now I have a tendancy to get confused so my Name was always Thoreau wherever I wandered.....till one day my password would not work, i kicked and sent emails and begged, but they were lost in the conundrum of bliss back in the day...so I got impatient and decided I would just make a new name..now not wanting people to think I was trying to hide...I figured I would keep the thoreau...but needed an addition so since the day I was born I have been called Dean..I naturally chose DeanThoreau...
and I like it.......when you meet me in person you wont get confused cause I am still Dean........cept at work I am Dr Thoreau

Exactly... in my case, WAY more than "several" probably because of my personality and because I'm open about being a girl.

I am SO GLAD to be able to capitalize it finally, lol... it doesn't bother me if anyone types it lowercase but I think capitalizing it will stop new friends from making assumptions that it's about BDSM.

TIMBERWOLF · 11-19-2009, 04:45 PM

HHHHHHHOOWWWLLLLLLLLL..............The name is TIMBERWOLF and Yes I'm a TOP, I go by TIMBER most of the time. I got my name when I went to a Sweat lodge and my Native Spirit animal was a Wolf. Im loyal to my family and Mate and it fits me with my Native background. Also like White Tigress says its our reflection, WT-TW. I have been TIMBERWOLF since gaydotcom days and its the same user name on all sites that I have been on.My Truck license plate is TIMWOF,Do I Howl?..........Yep, Just ask White Tigress

Novelafemme · 11-19-2009, 05:06 PM

I am an avid red wine connoisseur...and at the time I joined another B-F site I was in love with a delicious red zin called Novella

. I dropped one of the l's and the rest is history

Beau · 11-19-2009, 05:46 PM

well, a zillion years ago on a planet far away, I dated a woman who always referred to me as "Beau", and there were many who referred to me as that in r/t; hence, the screen name

what's been funny is how many have thought me to be a femme in search of a beau

... notsomuch, but it always made me laugh

BullDog · 11-19-2009, 05:57 PM

Not long before I joined a different b-f site years ago I was helping some friends work on their house. We were stripping paint off of wood work. We tried every damn method under the sun, but it was rough going. Anyway my friends tried to get me to give it up, but I wouldn't let up. I spent hours and hours on one damn door. We finally did get the job done. My friends said you are such a bulldog and started calling me that. So when I joined b-f I signed up with that name.

Then Hank and some other people started calling me Bully. So I have my screen name and my nickname for my screen name, lol. What's funny is quite a few of my real life friends and their kids and grand kids call me Bully so the name has really stuck.

Inuus was the Roman God/protector of livestock/herds/flocks. Also the God of fertility/sexual intercourse as well but that wasnt the reason I picked it.
I have chickens and turkeys and thats how most people know me at work etc. So just liked the name and what it stood for.

So, here I am.

But what does Perabo mean? Should I already know that? Am I showing my ignorance of cult movies or literature?

Well, mine is pretty simple. Ever since I was a little girl, Grease has been one of my favorite movies. I've probably seen it over a 1000 times. Of course, I had a crush on Rizzo (just sayin'). The one scene, where Rizzo & Kanicki are fighting in the diner, she throws the strawberry milkshake in his face and says "from me to you, PinkieLee".

Dammit, I thought my fuzzy girlie Pinkie Lee was your inspiration. She's cute and sassy and sometimes fancy and sometimes bites....

Oh yeah, Puplove: when signing up for b-f long ago, I wanted something that was vaguely descriptive and not too dumb or sweet. Hmmm... I love my dogs and, well, whatever. I like being called Pup, better than my given name Denise (sorry Mom, I know you think it's beautiful. Although, if my mom is reading this, I have some things to discuss with her).

I thought they were twins separated at birth. Both have an innate sense of who needs biting and who needs love at just the right moment. Both have really cute tails. Both usually come when called unless they are busy doing something else or just don't give a particular good gosh-darn at that moment. Both know how special they are. Both will allow you to admire them and pet them until they say you are done. Of course, one does look better in extensions than the other.

I love them both!

CalypsoTheNymph · 11-19-2009, 11:55 PM

Although, at first glance some have misinterpreted my profile name as meaning 'Calypso-The-Nympho' true - it has happened (on several occasions as matter of fact), but in reality I enjoy Greek Mythology. Calypso is a sea nymph, and I love the sea, plus the name seems to fit.
