How did you choose your screen name?

***
you can read mine on the About Me page, but I have copied it here.

am a much happier person being a
"Hummdingertub," than trying to make money.

What is a "Hummdingertub?"
It is the kind of person my Grandma was.
See the layout below.
She was the kind of person who had it in her heart to help others in all ways.
She played the washtub in a
charity band called the Hummdingers.
The band was active in St. Louis from 1966 through 1983.
Long after Grandma passed away, my Grandpa received calls to book the band.
My internet nickname, Hummie,
is a shortened version of Hummdingertub, dubbed to me by people on the internet.

Psst. That is padding on Grandma!
The yellow color is the outside cover of the band's minute book. The writings are a few scanned in copies from inside the book.

    In the UK you are able to purchase car registration numbers that you can pass on from car to car. although they still conform to the current rules for car registration. (normally our reg numbers are specific to the car not the person who owns it). Hubbie bought me a new car and as an extra surprise a personalised reg number - A1 BJM which designates the year of the car and my initials. I've used it as my username ever since we had the internet.

    Willogem is my nick name. When I was little I Loved willow tree's. We had one in the back yard & I was always climbing it or sitting up in it & reading. My great grandmother started calling me Willow & she would tell me "your such a gem" so I added the two together. Its different & it's never taken when I sign up for things lol.

    As a child, I was always outdoors, mostly in the woods climbing trees. My Favorite tree was in my grandmothers yard. It was a Willow tree. I loved the way the branches & leaves, weeped & swayed in the wind. My grandmother nicknamed me "Willow" & always told me, I was a gem. I combined the 2 & found it easy to use as it was Never taken ;) When I started tagging 7 years back I used it as my taggers name & kept it since I'm recognized this way.

    When I was knitting small purses to sell, briefly, I made business cards that said NanKnits. I also started. Knitting blog and called it the same. I got more interested in cooking and started another blogspot blog called NanCooks. My interests have switched to Digiscrap and it was natural to call myself NanScraps.

    it's my "real" name and surname
    I usually have a nickname I always use on the web, that is Kyky. My family call me so, and as well my friend. My boyfriend calls me "kryky". My blog is KykyScrap.

    BTW, you already have a Kiki here at hummie's and I think it would be confusing having a Kyky and a Kiki??? ^__^

    Same here, I did this back in 2010. Still need credit for it. From 8-19-2010 (quote: Just my first name and last initial. I use to go by scrappynana because I have so many grandchildren but somehow drifted away from it. With all the sites I'm on, I've only seen one other Nancy. )

    I too did this back in 2010 and this is a repeat of that explanation for my screen name "My screen name is a combination of my first name and middle name and the first 3 letters of my last name - now I have to demonstrate. My name is Cynthia Cecelia Dennis, now changed to ccynden, as there are so many Cynthia's out there in the scrapping world, I had to keep selecting different forms as the ones I wanted were already chosen." This screen name follows me throughout the scrapping world, so I guess I will continue to keep it. LOL
