It's always fun to hear stories about how people choose user names. It sorta gives an insight into the personality of the person behind the name. Guess I'm first!

Me, I am a huge fan of Howdy Doody - the show was set in a town called Doodyville (hence the "Doodyville" half), and "10019" is (I believe) the ZIP code the town would have had if there were ZIP codes back then (oh god I hope I'm not wrong....LOL). Actually, it was a popular ZIP code that I recall if you wanted to get free tickets for game shows and the like back in the '60s and '70s.

I picked mine from one of my favorite Rock bands of all time, Bachman Turner Overdrive. (BTO)

^ 10019 is my zip code here in NYC.

Anyway, my username is my initials.

I'm not very good at coming up with usernames. Just about every username I have online is my initials.

i just like safety pins and thought it would be a cool name. i'm sure it was partly the result of going through a period of being pretty crazy, but i don't plan on ever changing it again.

Mine is from the Seinfeld Soup Nazi episode where Jerry and his girlfriend Sheila are calling each other "Shmoopie" and driving George and Elaine crazy!

Andrea

I love your name Schmoopie. :D MonarC was Mariah Carey's new music label at the time. So I used that name when I signed up.

PunkyPower is of course from Punky Brewster as she frequently said it when triumphing over any problems she had. Punky Brewster was a fav. show of mine. I'm thinking of changing it though real soon.

Mine is sort of a play on words. I'm just crazy over the Adv. of Ozzie and Harriet. Guess you could say I'm nuts about O&H!! I only have 174 eps of the show (its a cross section of all the Seasons but 40% of all eps produced).....OH Nuts!!! (wish I had more!!!)

Mine's part of a weekend update signoff from SNL used by Chevy Chase in the 70's and more recently Tina Fey and Jimmy Fallon. In case you're not familiar with it, the whole phrase was "Goodnight, and have a pleasant tomorrow."

Yes, I remember that. Cool.:D

Around the time I signed up as a member of SitcomsOnline, I already had created some picture designs combining Angie and Florida State University, hence my FSU name:

LuLu is a nickname given to me by a friend and Rogers because I'd like to be Mrs. Wayne Rogers ;)

When I was in grade and middle school, classmates use to call me "Garfield" because they thought I had big eyes like the orange fat cat. LOL Since then, that name stuck with me. I also like the R&B funk band, "Kool & the Gang" So I put Garfield and the Kool together when I created my username.

Simple - I love cats (and live with three of them) and was born in 1979. ;)

I got mine after a punch-like drink my aunt used to make for her kids. But, the name is funshinefizzy and not sunshine. Oh well.

InspectorExstead comes from one of my favorite shows that used to be on Lifetime, The Division. Inspector Exstead was a character played by Nancy McKeon.

I don't think mine is that hard to figure out. :) "Mrs. Garrett" from "The Facts of Life" is one of my most favorite TV characters of all time, and from time to time on the show, she was referred to simply as "Mrs. G." and I love Mrs. G. Hence, the name: LoveMrsG :)

Mine comes from my name

Mickey is my first name and McIntosh is my last name, and I had a former friend who always called me MickeyMac.

Well the word 'Adamantium' is the kind of metal that Wolverine's claws are made of from the X-Men. However, I use it jokingly as if it was the longer version of my name, Adam.

I figured you loved cats. :D I was born in 79 too. :wave:

My name is from an episode of Three's Company where Felipe tells Jack he's going to name his son after him. Jack thinks he is naming him Jack Gomez but actually Jack's name is in there with a bunch of other names.

Well, I love music, rock especially, and I used to spend a lot of time in Hollywood..and I am just a chic chick, what can I say:lol:

:lol: Felipe was great.

Mine is rooted from my name ----- MATThew----first and ,MCdill---last .I was always called McDillpickle in school

'Yooch' is just a form of the Eugene in Eugene (my given name). It was an occasional nickname my mom used for me when I was in the 5 to 10 year-old range. I mostly go by 'Gene' though, these days.

I closed my eyes and typed something.

# 9 Dream is the name of a John Lennon song :) I just spelled it out the long way to difficult :D

My eye color and 106 is the sum of the numbers 3, 18 and 85 which is my birthday March 18, 1985.

I used James because it's my first name. Pretty creative, huh?

I figured you loved cats. :D I was born in 79 too. :wave:
:cool: :D

Mikado is a Japanese approximation of my actual first name.........it means King in Japanese, and is also the name of a mighty steam train that used to haul silk across the country in the 1930s.

86 - My birth year, 1986
howierules - Watch an episode of "Deal or No Deal" and you'll see why.

My Texas History teacher in 7th grade gave me the nickname LOL

Ohio state route 8, which connects Cleveland's eastern suburbs with Akron, etc.

I am a Clint Eastwood Fan. :D

Wreckless is kind of like my other half, my alter-ego, my "T.I. vs. T.I.P." It's like that Pink song, I have a war against a mirror. I feel all my insane behavior and the side that rejects everything plus more is Wreckless, while the nice, respectful, cool guy that is friends with everybody is "Kyle (my first name)."

:lol: i love deal or no deal!

Ever since I was little I've loved Beauty & the Beast. I have a huge collection of B&B stuff, you know, big fan. Anyway, my friend who's older also likes B&B so we started calling each other "Belle". Well, after awhile it got pretty confusing who was talking to who so we decided since I'm younger and shorter, I'd be "Little Belle". Lol, bet you guys would have never figured that out!

nope you stumped me lol..

That's tight, I like that. My alter ego is Shannen Doherty, if you know who that is.

^ Thanks. Yeah I know who she is, why do you describe your characteristics with Shannon, do you two have similar personalities sometimes? Jw. That's cool though and unique, you're the first I've heard with an alter-ego as a celebrity lol, that's a good thing though, not bad at all.

My favorite character on the Andy Griffith Show.

Thanks for all these replies (even though I can't take credit for starting this thread! I thought about starting one!). You guys are all so creative! Yep, even those who chose their first name!

Andrea

Iris = my first name
HappyDays = my favorite show

But you guessed that, didn't you? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

lol that's cute. Beauty and the Beast has always been my favorite Disney "princess" movie too. I remember dressing up as her for halloween when I was like 5. :lol:

It was given to me by a friend who knew I was a Mel Gibson fan. To this day she calls me little Mel instead of Brad. lol! I told her that I use her nickname on my favorite message board, and she was honored to hear that. :D

Yeah, I dressed up as her for Halloween when I was like 16, :lol:.

Even thought I don't personally know her obviously, I just feel like we're really similar. We both sort of that "I don't give two sh*ts what you think of me" mindset. Like we don't follow what other people do, we make our own way. We also both have bad tempers, but are real, and have good hearts and care about others, especially our friends.

Well I meant do you think you share the same personality with her, if you got confused about that lol but that would be cool if you knew her too. Yeah that's the same with me, I have a bad temper, well I'm really impatient, but I am kind hearted on the inside and really. It's just sometimes the bad overshadows the good if you know what I mean.

Mine is from the Thomas Hardy novel, but I have never read it. I just like it because it describes me :lol:

Yeah, I dressed up as her for Halloween when I was like 16, :lol:.
:lol: Still works.

Well I meant do you think you share the same personality with her, if you got comfused about that lol


Yeah, I know. I just added that in because sometimes when I talk about her people are like "do you know her? or are you trying to act like you know her?" lol.

Mine of course is the title of a great Beatles song. :wave:

Yeah, I know. I just added that in because sometimes when I talk about her people are like "do you know her? or are you trying to act like you know her?" lol.

Oh ok lol. I see.

I closed my eyes and typed something.

Really? I would have guessed it was because you were a fan of Dawson's Creek at the time you joined these boards.

Actually she's a huge Richard Dawson fan :lol:

Waking Up Laughing is the title of a 2007 Martina McBride album that I really love. Listening to the album always makes me feel good. :)

I wake up laughing a lot.

Actually, no I don't.

I love Kenny Chesney!

He's a country singer, for the uninformed.

I used to be somewhat of a satellite and radio broadcast enthusiest and I took my user name from Dish Network's parent company Echostar.

*lets inner Robert Palmer fan out* There was a single off of Robert Palmer's album Clues titled Woke Up Laughing as well. The original version is currently available on the soundtrack to Pineapple Express.

You guys are all so PHENOMINAL!!!!! I love ALL of your user names...even the ones who simply use their actual first names!!! This is so much fun!!!
