January 17: Username (Journaling)

[Genniejoy]

150 words about my user name? LOL ok, I'm not normally a complainer on journal challenges, but not sure on this one. I might have to talk about how my user name has changed from one to another just to reach the word count.

There has to be a story about Tinkerbell1112!!! I look forward to reading it!

 

[Juliestcyr]

OK, I got all day to think of ways to make this an interesting story... #ItsLiterallyJustMyName

 

[IntenseMagic]

Hmmm...150 words, huh? I'm another who could do this with 150 characters. There's no real story behind my username or my real name, and I don't have any nicknames that aren't just variations of my name. LOL-Prepare yourselves to be bored with my rambling!

haha! mine too. A page about nothing

 

[NancyP]

150 words is going to be a bit difficult for this challenge.... I might need to just rave on about nothing!

Yep, I'm with you! I'm simply NancyP, nothing exciting, and I have never had an AKA. 150 words????? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!!!

 

[LeeAndra]

AP - I am who I am

Journaling reads:

Tammy Lynn AKA tw1717…

My real name is Tammy Lynn Wood OR, as my grown kids like to tease me: TAMMY LYNN JOHNSON BOWMAN WOOD…. Johnson is my maiden name, Bowman was my first married name and Wood is my current last name….

My user name has been tw1717 since I got remarried in 1999 – I needed to change all my emails and usernames etc.…but I didn’t want to use my real name. tw – tammy wood and the 17 comes from my hubby - he considers it his favorite number…so I sort of borrowed it.

Well that was 97 words…so I will move onto my name. While growing up I would often ask my mom how she picked TAMMY LYNN as my name cause I have been asked all my life if my first name is really TAMARA which it is not.

My mom chose TAMMY LYNN cause she was watching something on TV while pregnant with me and saw some show and Tammy Wynett was on there doing an interview and she said she really liked how it sounded with LYNN.

I always found this story sweet & hilarious cause my mom does not like country music - but she liked Tammy Wynette. I hope she wasn’t thinking I would be country star someday cause I can’t sing to save my life….

[Saar]

English: 212 words
Dutch: 228 words



One of my New year’s resolutions is scrapping more pages about me and adding them to my 2018 PL book. This layout tells the story about my nickname and about how it got it. My real name is Sarah, but when you want to register to a forum or a board, this name is probably taken already. So I started searching for another name. As a teenager I was passionate about Greek mythology. So I took a nickname based on one of the goddesses in Greek mythology. My nickname was Selena, the Greek goddess of the moon. But after a few years, I outgrow my nackname. So the search for another one started again. During that time, 2005, I often went to see the Magical Flying Thunderbirds with friends. They were a Belgium coverband. The leadsinger of the band his name is Philippe, but he called himself Phile Magical Fly or short PhileMF. So my friend and I called ourselfs NeleMF (my friend) and SaarMF (me). Saar is in Dutch the short version for Sarah. In the meanwhile, I dropped the MF, but I kept Saar. To make a long story short… My nickname is just the short version of Sarah. Some real life friends even call me Saar instead of Sarah.
