How did you get your username?

**Bevv** · 07-02-2002, 03:35 PM

I got my username when I was first online at a local Bulletin Board System. At that time almost all chats and messages were local that I was aware of.

I looked for someone I wanted to be more like in real life, someone who was a lot more outgoing and upbeat.. an alter ego. I selected Beverly, someone that I liked her personality at work.

I became Beverely, it got shortened to Bev in a very special BBS I was on, then the second V was added later as I went on IRC and BEV was a common username.

So I have been Bevv for 9 or so years.

What about you? How did you get your username and how long have you been "you"?

Mustang80-my first car-a baby blue 1980 Ford Mustang. I wish I still had it

We sold it when we bought our house. I bought it from my dad when I was 17. Drove it to school, out with DH (then boyfriend), down the shore, etc. I loved that car. I had it for 5 years. Now I'm a minivan mama-LOL

Mine is BORING! My first initial and my maiden name! I can never think of a better user name that isn't already taken. Miltimore is very rare!

There are a bazillion bjohnson's out there--so that one won't work!

I am the epitome of a Jersey Girl, the song is one of my faves, and my friends and I are usually spotted as such when we travel.

I have to admit that I have wondered where the sixfreds came from... my thought was close.. that you had 6 males named fred in your life.. or like George Foreman.. all of your male offspring were Fred.

My most favorite thing to do as a child was making snowangels.

The name of the breeders kennel where we bought our one dog was named "White SeaDream" (He is an American Eskimo)

When we first signed on with AOL years ago dh suggested I try SeaDream, love this name now....some places I have had to add 92 on to as SeaDream was already taken. 92 being the year the dog was born

We no longer have AOL, but I still use this name anywhere I can get it.
