What’s In A Name?

[Mimi13]

Every time I am on BYC I always try to figure out how people come up with their “user name.” I may be the only one who tries to figure these out, but I’ll bet not.

Some names are straight forward like,

JaneDoe​

or maybe with a birthdate or year,

JaneDoe42689
JaneDoe1989​

and some even tell us where they’re from,

AllisonAL
DallasDan​

or what birds they have/love,

50YardBirds
DanaDominiques​

some that you’d think are men, but are women and some that are women that you’d think are menand on, and on, and on!
The possibilities are endless.

I hope everyone’s curiosity is peaked and willing to share and I will start.

Mimi’s 13

Being a Mimi is what allowed me to even begin keeping birds. I quit work to keep my third grandson 4 months before he was born. It was during this time that I convinced my DH that homegrown eggs would be much better for him; went to a nearby breeder and brought home 6 little fluffy chicks ; ordered a prefab coop that never would have housed 6 chickens let alone the 8 it advertised ; and began turning an unused dog kennel into a chicken run fit for royalty. Not really, but it was secure.

13 Nope, not the number of chickens I have or the number of kids I have . It’s just my LUCKY number; however, it has never won me any money, dad gummit!

That’s the story of Mimi’s 13.


Now tell me yours.

LOL, I try to figure out some of the names too! I think mine is pretty easy, I live in a town in the suburbs.

Pretty cute and very true about the curiosity. I often wonder myself and sometime click on peoples image for clues. I should have been a detective. !!!
Well, I am not that clever... or not so much with my user name. I first thought along the lines of peepsnparadise or paradisepeeps because I live in a kinda exotic place, but I did not want to be another peeps. And then a classic song from the 80's, from one of our local favorite contemporary Hawaiian bands (The Brothers Cazimero- My Tropical Baby), popped in my head, a fun little tune. You can google Since I refer to my girls as my babies most of the time I figured that was it. And it is a little cute and self explanatory to any one wondering about my climate (because it does matter). Tropical... kinda cleared up the mystery right?
Anywho, thanks for the fun post. I like it!!!

[FishMtFarm]

FishMtFarm is actually my farm name. I live on Fish Mountain Rd so why not call my farm Fish Mountain. And I’m a female.

Awe, thank y’all so much for replying. And see, I knew I wasn’t the only one who thought this way. However, I was afraid I might be the only one crazy enough to admit it though.

 

[Molpet]

back when the internet came out 'netscape' asked for an id that could be remembered. They suggested parts of your name. My nickname is Mo, middle initial is L and first 3 of last name is pet. I kept using it all these decades LOL. I am a retired woman.

Mine is a play on the character Electra because I get to train with the sheriff's office sniper team (Hubby is team leader) and can out shoot most the of guys.

 

[Callender Girl]

Mine is kind of boring -- it's certainly NOT because I am a pin-up!

I live near the very small town of Callender in northern Iowa. And, I'm female. It's fun hearing how more creative people came up with their names!
