YOUR POST NAMES/NICKNAMES

Shanus — Wed, 23 Nov 2016 13:01:34 GMT

There are so many interesting post names/nicknames. Anyone care to share how you chose yours? Mine is the nickname my Dad used to call me since I can remember. In Hebrew, it means "Pretty" or "Pretty One".

I was born in Indiana, but lived most of my life in California before moving back to Indiana 13 years ago. Therefore "hoosieroriginal". Nice post - I'm interested too!

When I was a kid (LONG before caller ID!) my father woud sometime answer the phone by saying "That's Me!" rather than "Hello". It caught the caller off guard, and made everyone laugh (or roll our eyes, lol). It also makes sense in this anonymous world.... we don't use our real names, so who is posting here? It's me!

Shayna is the spelling used more often and it is definatley Yiddish not Hebrew, Yahfah is the word for pretty girl in Hebrew.

Yiddish and Hebrew are not the same languages

I used to be shelbybiskit, which were 2 of my fur babies that passed on. Then they made me change my name with the new website, so I had to think of something else. I chose it from one of my favorite movies, Once Around.

Thanks for starting this thread, I love it!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

There was a thread on this same topic this summer. At the time, we were in between dogs, having just lost our sweet Quincy to cancer. It wasn't a good time and we still miss him terribly. We always will.

My answer at the time was that my nic wasn't exactly true right then, because we were dogless. But I am happy to say that we are "Tending 2 a dog" again.

Willoughby has entered our lives and filled our hearts.

Good topic. Mine goes waaaay back to younger days when I had vanity plates on my car saying 2BLONDE. I think the main reason why I picked that was many of the other names I had chosen were already taken at the BMV. All my girlfriends had them, so I had to have them too! One girl was 5'10", and was 2TALL. Another tall girfriend had LEGGS on her plates (she had really nice ones too!). Obvously, I thought my long blonde hair was my best physical asset. (I still have those license plates in my bedroom!)

I am a cat lover. I love Hello Kitty but there was a very nice neighbor cat that hung around outside and whenever she was on our banister I would say, "Hello kitty" and love on her. For some reason when the Q changed their forums a year or so ago I couldn't sign in as just Hellokitty and had to add the 2.

I'm really enjoying the origins of all the poster's names, too. 😀

Sorry for your loss. It is true that every time we adopt/purchase a dog, we have to prepare to out live it. I've been through it several times as my beagles reach 12-15 yrs. old. Each one always keeps a place in our hearts. Thanks for sharing.

@hellokitty Yes, I also love cats! (You can tell by my sig.) Some kitties are such a joy. A few years ago, I met the friendliest cat ever on my jogging route. I started down this dead end side street, when about 100 feet in front of me I spotted a tabby walking up a driveway. Suddenly, he looked over at me, stopped dead in his tracks, and started walking toward me.......just like a dog might do! Of course I stopped and approached him. He just loved and loved on me, and almost wouldn't let me leave. After that day we would always look for each other and have another few moments together before I continued my jog. It turned out he was the "neighborhood cat", with the home where I first saw him in the driveway being his mainstay.

I stumbled on mine by accident when I was looking for a user name for some web site. Wrote out my first & last names, started with the first letter & then wrote every other letter --it spells out Jancade!

I wish I'd picked a different nick, but I was in a hurry. I've thought of so many better nicknames since. Oh welllllll..... I wanted to give a hint to where I live. Since I'm smack in the middle of the Land of Oz (ahem), in my rush, all I could think of was the movie quote, "and your little dog Toto, too." So there ya go.

DarlingDino — Wed, 23 Nov 2016 16:55:51 GMT

mine is a name we gave a pet yorkie we had but he is no longer with us now. I picked the name for him cause my husband calls me darling alot and I liked the name dino from the flintstones. It went together well and became our little yorkies name. So now it is my nickname here and keeps his memory alive for me everytime I see it.

I used to collect owls & have over 100. LOL!!! I had to box most of them up as I got tired of dusting them all every week. Also DH used to work nights & we were up until 2-4 AM. Not anymore. I'm ready to jump in bed by midnight now.

One day when my now 18 year old grandson was very young, he looked around at all my beauty items & said, "Gram, you & all your pathetic cosmetics".

He was & is still correct. Pathetic that I still have so many to use up. I no longer buy into any hype & the only thing I order is something from Josie for my birthday.

Tricolor — Wed, 23 Nov 2016 20:21:06 GMT

Before I retired I was a nurse. A patient who did not know my name needed to ask me a question. She told the receptionist that she needed to speak to the Tricolor nurse. My hair is highlighted blonde so I assume that she was referring to my hair color. That certainly got a good laugh in the office.
