What's Behind Your EHell Screen Name?

[QueenofAllThings]

I often wonder how my fellow EHellions come about their screen names - I'm sure there are some interesting stories. Some are simple, some confusing - I'd love to know (if you're willing to share).

I'll start. I am not QueenofAllThings due to an inflated ego (well - maybe sometimes) but because, when the 3 princes were little, this is what they called me when they wanted a special treat (that, or Queenof the Universe or Goddess of All). And it worked - most of the time 

[CeeBee]

Mine is my initials, just slightly longer. (and I like bees).

I think I remember seeing a thread similar to this but it was ages ago...

 

[Ms_Shell]

Well, my first name was already registered as a username, so I just picked one that sounded like it.  Plus I get to use a crab as an avatar.

[Lurkergirl]

Mine is pretty much explains itself LOL.  I joined years ago I can no longer remember which board I was on when someone was talking about this one I think it was on Ivillage.  I didn't want to use the same name as I wanted to not worry about people or family knowing who I was.  And well I lurk on just about any board I go to so i knew I wouldn't post much but I do love reading it all.  So the name lurkergirl was born.  I usually can't use it on other sites as it is always taken now.

[whiterose]

It is associated with a favorite anime character of mine, as well as being my sorority's flower.

And the unexpected bonus of being the name of a resistance movement during the Holocaust.

[LeeLee88]

I had a parakeet named LeeLee, and I chose 88 because it's usually easier to register a user name for sites with numbers at the end of the name. 

[dustyninja]

Mine is after my two kitties.

[Harriet Jones]

Mine's a reference to the tv show Castle.  The main character refers to the hell of a deep-fried twinkie when he's talking about his ex-wife.  It struck me funny 

[Melxb]

Melxb =

Mel = A shortened version of my first name.  It is also a nickname for my first name.

x = a homage to my favorite television show of all time, The X-Files

b = another homage to the mascot of my university (gonna leave that one blank for now!).

[Lady Snowdon]

Mine's from a series by David Weber.  The main character finds himself being followed about by a lizard who exhibits many of the qualities of a dog.  He decides to keep the lizard, and names it Dogzard (dog and lizard).  One of my favorite lines from that series is, "It was a dogzard's life, to be sure".  Just cracks me up.  

[WasabiWithYou]

I love ridiculously spicy food and silly wordplay.  

Wasabi + What's up with you? = WasabiWithYou!

ETA: But I really don't like most sushi. Only vegetarian sushi, which I do like a great deal. However, strictly speaking, vegetarian sushi doesn't actually qualify as "sushi," right?

[crella]

Mine's a nickname my Dad gave me when I was little.

[Saro]

I love ridiculously spicy food and silly wordplay.

It does. Sushi is about the rice.

Mine's from a video game.

[Bluenomi]

Nomi is my nickname and blue is my favourite colour. Ebay suggested it to me when picking a logon there and I use it everywhere. It makes me easy to find on other fourms, I've had people ask me if I'm the same Bluenomi from ehell on other forums I visit

Ah, thank you for the clarification! Perhaps I should consider changing my little tag line, in that case.
