There's a lot of ugly stuff going on in the world today. Let's do a little easy GTKY for a distraction. What does your screen name mean/why did you choose it? Extra credit - did you change it from TCF? I know we have some self explanatory ones (looking at you hiimjamie which I ❤️ Btw) but there are others that I need to know! If your SN is easy (like your name) explain your avatar choice.

I did an Ironman triathlon a few years ago, and my brother called me "ironbaby," so that was my sn on TCF. I got tired of the "baby" part of it (didn't really think that through when joining a forum for TTC), so when we switched I added the unicorn, bc well, I am obsessed.

My name is Maddison and Rose came from my first pregnancy. I lost a baby when I was younger and always associated with it being a girl (even though I never found out for sure) but since then I always thought I would have another and her name would be Rosalie. I had the same SN on TCF

Rebecca Bunch is the name of the main character on the show Crazy Ex Girlfriend. I love this show. It's smart, it's funny, it's different, it's the best.
My SN on TCF was mrstommyshelby because I have show crush on the main character from Peaky Blinders. I don't really know why I changed it. I still have a mega crush.

I actually have a pretty good story I think!
My H's nickname with his friends has been "Biff" forever.
When we met, they started calling me "Tiff", because my name starts with B and they couldn't reuse the letter I guess, lol. (Spoiler alert! My name isn't Tiffany haha)
My nickname stuck with my friends too, and thus we became Biff and Tiff.
When we bought our first laptop together, it needed a user name to log in so H called it "BiffBot"
Shortly after we got engaged, and I signed up for TK, not realizing there was forums, and naturally went with Tiff-bot.
I ended up being an active poster on my wedding month board, and later joined TB when I was pregnant with my 2nd, where we remain active on an off board. When I moved here to stick with the J18 group, I decided to add the "ro" to bot because too many people in my real life started to know the tiff-bot connection (our wedding cake topper was a set of robots, and have since been gifted bot family Christmas ornaments from different people who know the story) and while I didn't think anyone would actively search for it, it was time to just distance myself from the name slightly haha.
Also when we moved here I thought it was a good time for an avatar change, and found an old pic of my kids dressed up as robots haha. It was perfect.

Mana is my nickname (real name is Amanda). I've had it since middle school when my friends heard my niece and nephew call me Aunt Mana. It's stuck ever since.

Mine isn't that innovative! MH and I were TTC for over a year the first time around (actually we were just not using protection and not timing anything, which I thought was strategic enough at the time, but later realized it's really about knowing when you ovulate). Anyways, when we got pregnant it was a sweet surprise!
Now we are on number 2 and I was WAY more strategic. I read about CM and predicting ovulation and we conceived in 2 weeks!!!! MH still doesn't know that I was tracking CM. He just thought it magically happened. Lol. Some day in a few years I'll reveal my secret to him!!

Post by helloerrbody on Jun 14, 2017 15:23:39 GMT -6
When I joined TK, every single SN I kept trying was already taken. I was getting so frustrated, but I didn't want to tack on a string of numbers after. So I ended up with HellooooFirstName (<-- but used my actual first name lol). It was hard for people to tag me b/c they never remembered how many O's in Hello so when we moved to TCF I got rid of the extra O's, but then I also decided I didn't want my real name in my SN. I didn't want to lose the Hello though b/c I wanted to be somewhat recognizable so I for some reason picked HelloErrbody. I stuck with it in the move here so people I know will still know it's me lol.

Mine is somewhat obvious. But I do not go by jessi at all. Only my grandpa calls me that. Obviously you guys could guess my first name. This is way better than my yahoo chat days when I was messyjessi hahaha
My avatar is just a picture of some flowers from a few summers ago. I'm not creative.

My screen name from TK days and TB was amylee545... it used to be my AIM screen name and figured I'd keep it easy so I could remember... but then I got active in the message boards and ended up hating it since it's my actual name, plus the numbers suck for tagging purposes. Then when we moved to TCF I wanted people to know who I was so I kept the same name, but continued to hate it. Then when we moved over here, I changed it to amesie which is my nickname that only my mom calls me. And my avatar is a picture of me and my daughter from this past fall

You need to post some cake pictures some time! What's your favorite cake? Ganache is just about the best thing ever! Ganache paired with raspberry filling in a chocolate cake would probably be my favourite. I have no idea how to post photos, I'll need to figure that out

My sn on TCF was my real name. When we moved here I wanted to be more anonymous. I talk about the board to people in real life, but I didn't want to to be so easy for someone to confirm who I was by my name or my avatar. When we moved here I thought about my passions and decided to go with my favorite ice creams. I wanted a shorter sn than benandjerrys. I briefly considered bjfan before deciding that would be not only confusing but inaccurate Eta my avatar is George Costanza eating ice cream because why not?
