user names
« on: February 29, 2008, 01:32:57 pm »
hey guys.  thought i'd ask what everybody's user name means.  some of them i find interesting, and just outta curiosity, i was wondering how you came up with it, what it means, and why you chose it. 
mine, forsythia, is obviously a flower, but i actually got the name from an old punk rock chick band i used to like.  they had a song named forsythia, and although the song was rather morbid, i liked the sound of it, and thought the title was pretty....
not a huge story there, but usually behind the name, there's a story....or something that tells us more about you....so....
what does your user name mean to you?

My username demonstrates terrible lack of creativity on my part.  It's simply my initials and then my birth year. 

This is a great topic for a thread by the way! 8)

Your very welcome Leslie. I thought it was such a pretty name, and as that sounds a lot like me, *coughs* :laugh: I thought it was perfect.  :)

I'm Berit, plain and simple! It's a name that comes from Birgitta, an old Swedish name.....common on old ladies like me, born 1953.
