Just curious as to the meaning (if any) in your user name...Mine's
pretty obvious- my first name and last initial. But I would really like
to know where some of these came from- food fettish, big house, owner
of 3 dogs?

When I was young, my dad bought me a typewriter to do school work
with. To 'learn' to type, he had me type "John Zilbandy saw the quick
vamp fixing the high trapeze" about a jillion times. When it came to
choosing my first name online, Zilbandy just came to mind. I've been
using that name since my first online name in the early 90's. To this
day, that's about the only thing I can type really, really fast
without making a ton of misteaks.... Oops!

Mine is my own... although going back through history to 1679 I am not sure
where 'mcquown' came from. Traditionally in Scotland the Mc (or Mac) means
son of something. I've no idea what a son of a quown might be. (laughing)
We like to cook, though!

kilikina = Christine in Hawaiian. I lived in Hawaii for 10 years. Every
time I tried to use kilikina, the name was taken, so I used kilikini. In
any case, kilikini is closer to Christy (diminutive), which is what name I
go by.

Ms Peacock is from Clue. I play Clue on the computer with my granddaughters
and the two of them always have to go first so they get to be Miss Scarlet
and I'm not Mrs White! I figure it's as good a user name as anything else.

Oh, that's so funny, I have that game and I need to figure it out.
I never played the board game. Thank you for the reminder.

I was on a list first when I came on-line, and people would always be
asking where each other was from. So I became maxine in RI.

What I am most of the time, followed by my initials. Used to be
PickyBabe, but the "babe" days are long gone. Heck, babe days for me
stopped before newsgroups even existed!

"Little Malice" is a Haitian fairy tale character -- a sneaky little
rabbit. I liked it better than my previous nym, "Kthonian", which is
a gigantic burrowing worm from Lovecraft's Cthulhu mythos...

I got a kick out of the SNL show when Ludacris was on and Kenan T.
played his old friend from the 'hood, "Rick Dickalous."

Speak of the devil-- that episode is going to re-run this weekend :)

LOL. I didn't know about Ludacris when I choose my nick. I found a
website that had loads of goofy names and choose one.

You can blame Damsel for mine... She mentioned the Chatty Cathy dolls in
one of her posts, so I thought it was "appropriate" ;)

I have previously used Archon as my calling name for internet and
intranet usernames. It is a mythological creature of protection and aid
to the point of annoyance. Half man half eagle with golden feathers.
Then I became fascinated with the sequoia tree, and then used sequoia
giganti. A spiritual guy from chile told me the sequoia is also a
protective energy, just like my real name Michael (archangel Michael).
My newest name is my real name made compatible with my aliases.

When I got my first online account at the high school where I worked in
1990, we were warned not to use identifiers that indicated our sex in
order not to attract stalkers. I became gpuester. When we got this
account at home, somehow I became gloriap.

I don't use caps in my signature because 1) I'm not a good typist and
it's easier not to and 2) when I sign my name, I make my "G" the same
shape as lower case only larger.

(Aren't you sorry you asked?)
