    My first name is Virginia.
    To shorten "Virginia" my brother and some friends called me Virgo.
    I was born in 1977, so virgo77 combines all the above.

    Lexxi Vexx started as a joke, but I later adapted it as my stage name because it just seemed so darn natural. :D

    A few years back I was visiting Robbie after he'd moved to Tri-cities. I was poking fun at him for his old street gang, House Of Cards (semi-serious political, not violent) when he lived in Tacoma. He went by Rob Militia, had it painted on his jacket and everything, as well as the official H.O.C. arm-band! :D I'd poked so much fun that he regretted ever showing me the old pictures. I decided I needed a name too, being the significant other of the H.O.C. founder and all.
    Hours later, having forgotten about my request, Robbie says "Lexxi Vexx. That's your rock and roll name...... But it has to have double X's"

    My username, Woodlandfey came out of my fantasy of living with the "Fey Folk". I have always loved the Faerie and will defend their rights until I die!
    I also love being in the Woodlands so it just seemed natural for me to pick this name.

    Yep, you better believe in the Fey Folk, they believe in us and tend to get a mite upset if they are insulted.

    When my granddaughter was born she called me Nana. Then at age 2+ she changed it to Nina. If anyone called me Nana she would correct them. So it stuck. I'm a Nina! :D

    My name is Tammy, and I've always been called Tam or TamTam. I also go by TazzyTam or TazzyTamTam because I like Taz from the looney-Toon cartoons. :D

    bunkie is my real name! i was born in a log cabin built by my parents in Alaska. at the time, my dad was studying for the Bar Exam (attorney) and pumping gas and my mom was the 'story lady' on the radio...mind you, this was way back in 49 when the main street in Anchorage was dirt! anyway, when i was born, there was no room for a bassinette or bed for me, so my dad made a little 'bunkbed' on top of their dresser for me, and thus came the name bunkie...the cabin, to this day, is still standing, and a giant mall surrounds it! the chimney is the only one in the area that survived the big quake way back in March of '64.
