What do our handles/nicknames collectively say about us?

    Of course, now that you've asked, I'm having a "senior moment" and can't remember any of the names that I thought were so clever on here! There have been many that I wished *I'd* thought up.

    The reason I chose mine was because I'd had this name on H2O and kept it when I registered on here. When I first registered on H2O, it was the first board I signed up for, AND I was still a loyal JW at the time. I must have tried 25 names and they were all taken. "Sunspot" just popped into my head-I went with it- and nobody else had used it.......so here I am!

    My name was strictly how I felt at the time I signed up, more of a mental image... ( I saw a capsized boat in my head).

    Didn't really get too deep, just wanted to get signed up quickly as I needed some adult conversation NOW, instead of that childish drivel I've been tolerating for the last 20 years.

    Someone early on replied to me and abbreviated my name as "u/d", I loved it and have used it ever since!

    Mine is just a variation of my last name - I got tired of being called 'popcorn' when I was a kid, which was another variation that immediately comes to people's mind when they hear my real last name. It got tiresome watching people believe they were being so clever.

    That being said, all names are just another way to define ourselves. See what lies beneath any definition.

    Not to creative with mine, Its just my name. I didnt choose a handle because I wanted any J.W's in my area to know that it was me. It's kinda of a " Here I am and there is nothing you can do about it" attitdue. I quess I was in a rebelous mood or to put it more bluntly I wanted to say a nice F.U to any elders that might run across my posts.

    As you all know my "handle" is my name. I use it because I have nothing to hide from anyone. If someone want's to be a butthead and go running to someone in my family and talk crap, let-em.

    I've worked hard for my own identity, instead of trying to be someone else. However, I understand the necessity for "handles", etc.

    Hugs to you all.
