Well I have the most boring story about my username, no prizes for guessing it's because my name is Frank 
So how did you choose your username?

My last name is Kirkpatrick, when I first went into the Navy everyone called Kirk. When Star Trek came out, they naturally started calling me Capt Kirk. No I wasn't a Captain in the Navy. I was enlisted and was just a swabby like most of the people in there. But as a user name it is kind of unique and I haven't run into anyone else with it!

I tried out various names and none sounded right and I was frustrated. I was saying I want to be so much I finally decided wannabe was as good as it got. My actual name is Rosie. Wannabe

It was given to me before I was born.
Now on other lists I am snowflake or snoless. I have always loved snow and Randy says I am the biggest snow flake he has ever met. The name snoless (or snowless depending on what it already taken) is pretty obvious considering where I live.

I too was born with it. Never really liked it but after all the years, I can almost always remember it.

Dooley is a turtle in some children's stories I write. Choosing a user name that no one else has is hard. I had turtle for a password, but changed it when I put in the avatar. Dooley

Good thing I was thinking ahead then. I don't think gnomes are too bad. Especially Irish gnomes living in Sweden. Dooley

Must be mostly good moments. I haven't noticed any trickery coming out of Sweden lately or at all I think. Dooley

Well, I went by katladie on other forums and got tired of it. Since I am Cajun, I wanted something with that in it and there is a riverboat named the Cajunbelle, so I used that.

Well, as a child I was always a "bethie". People close to me still call me this instead of my grownup name "beth".

I started off as Primula on another forum that has a Tolkien focus (the name of Frodo's mother, who drowned...I live in Oregon where it rains a lot and it seemed logical at the time). Having a musical family, and having gotten used to going by 'Prim' I have used Primsong elsewhere.
