Mine's a holdover from my Air Force Daze.

I worked on Avionics, so the crew chiefs (aka (with love) nose pickin tire kickers, booger hookers etc.) would see us (aka pointy heads, grinners) in our trucks grinnin waiting for the planes to come in from the rain before we would work on the electronic systems.

So we had pickers and grinners, BB stackers and muzzle fuckers. I guess I got off easy.

And I was born in 62.

mine has 3 different stories:

1. Fram = Framingham, where I was born Cire= Eric backwards (like nomar Garciaparra whose name Nomar = Ramon (his dad) backwards)

2. I was online and found the website of Eric Marf who was a musician who listed one of his influences as Hitler ( Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!! You need to

or

this is not the site I found, but he is reffed there). I decided I was the bizzaro-Eric Marf and hence went with the SN FramCire (Eric Marf backwards)

3. As a Red Sox fan, I was a member of a MB ( 406club.net ) where we had a rally cry of "Summon the fire" (which we still use). I liked to say we should "cram the fire down their throats" and was going to change my SN to CramFire but decided it would be a little more unique to change initials and go with FramCire.

So there you go. 3 stories, all have been told. snopes.com has yet to confirm which urban legend is true.

Lizzie2

Started out in Elaine and Michelle (Mastiff)'s old headache support group chat room, which I actually found before I discovered ch.com. Back then, whenever I joined a group online, I always went by my middle name, which is Elizabeth. My dad has called me by some form of Lizzie since I was born, and I've actually preferred it to my given name, Carrie, for most of my life!

In chat, when I first arrived, I used the screenname "Lizzie" and everyone kept thinking I was Lizzie AlienSpaceBabe. So that's when I added the 2 - to differentiate that I was the 2nd Lizzie!

When I first joined ch.com, I used the SN chronic_chic because I was suffering from chronic headaches at the time and had used the name on other message boards. Unfortunately, I didn't realize it was a bit of a mistake since I didn't have chronic CH yet at that point, and I think it put people off! So then I decided to make things easier, I'd make Lizzie2 my screenname here as well as chat. At some point, I switched to "CarrieBethRN" (I think while in nursing school), but it didn't stick....much preferred Lizzie2....and here it stands to this day!!

This is a very enjoyable thread!!!

Hugz and PF wishes!
Carrie/Lizzie2

When I first came here 2.5 years ago, I had a hobby designing and selling jewellery online. The shop was called BB ( short for Beautiful Bijoux ) and I used BB as my screen name on all of the sites I visited, including here.

However, there was a gentleman here with a different screen name but he signed his name as BB and he was offended that I "took" his name. Why he didnt choose BB to start with if that was his signature I have no idea, and he has not been here for a very long time. Anyway I got tired of his complaining so I gave up the name BB.

The second screen name was Lotus because I picked a lotus picture as my avatar. Then I changed it to Annette which is my first name.

When I came back after my husband passed away, I picked Annsie. Ann is short for Annette and Sie is short for Siebler, my late husband's surname.

Looks like I become less and less creative with time Tongue

Arctic was given/accepted as my nick name a decade ago among friends here in Oregon.My fathers lineage is Commanche, My mothers lineage is Alaskan, and the Arctic tribal heritage always meant alot to me. But when I said I was Aleutian, they didn't know it from a disease. So to simplify I said Alaskan native~ arctic tribal.
Spirals grew because its my religious symbol I wear. Some folks had crosses, pentacles/grams, what have you, the spiral said it all to me. For a few years I hosted a pagan community in my town named spirals.The two together was unique enough to land me the screen name in a few places so I stick with it.

This is a great thread - fun to read.

Unfortumately, mine is kinda boring - my name is Sandy, last name Cullen.

Back in good old 1999, when I first found this site I logged on as just SandyC. I left after a few months, then logged back in a couple of years later only to find that "SandyC" was already taken by someone else (DUH! ME), but I couldn't remember my password. So, I logged in as new and was relegated to having to put that doggoned _ and a C Angry

So much for memory!

When I first got on this site I was glevenhagen, my name being Gena Levenhagen. People would shorten it so to save time I went by Gena for a long time. Then I listened to a podio book call the 7th son. My favorite charterers name was Kilroy 2.0 how was a computer nerd that wanted to expose all the conspiracies of the government. So I stole his name.
