why did you pick your name?

[toughCookie]

what made you choose the pettalk name that you did? some use their own names, so thats obvious, but why the other ones? "so-n-so"s mommy is pretty clear too.

I chose toughCookie because of my cat Cookie who died last Feb., she went thru so much so I nicknamed her toughCookie.

[Karen]

Mine is my first name, so it was an easy choice!

[Fuzzy317]

"Fuzzy" has been a nickname for me since early 80's, and 3/17 is my birthday. Its also been my name on most email services. I was used to being Fuzzy317 so I just stuck with that, call me lazy

[All Creatures Great And Small]

I think I've posted this on another thread somewhere, but I figured since I love a wide range of animals from mules down to rats, that I love All Creatures Great And Small - but I didn't realize I'd have to type it in each time to login and it's kind of long. I guess people can call me ACGAS (ack! gas!) if it's easier

[Cataholic]

At work, I am one of a very very few non-catholics. One of my bosses calls the really really catholic people, "cathoholic"..so, I became catoholic...because of my love of cats!!

[Uabassoon]

My email address is Uabassoon.. I guess I choose it because I go to UofA and play bassoon. And it's been my AOL screen name for a few years now.

[wolf_Q]

I love wolves, and my last name starts with a Q. I've had this screen name ever since we've had the internet........I have a few others, but I always seem to come back to this one. I like being wolf Q

[popcornbird]

I got my name because, well,..................my bird's name is Popcorn, he looks like a popcorn (in my opinion since he's all white and yellow................reminds me of buttery popcorn ) and both my birds LOVE to eat popcorn, so hence the name popcorn. As for the bird, of course my pets are birds, so I chose to put my screen name as popcornbird. My uncle calls my birds popcornbirds for some reason, so that was another reason as well.

[Nomilynn]

Nomi is my nickname (my first name is Naomi) and my middle name is Lynn

[Terminalvelocity]

I was in the process of signing up and thinking hard about a name. Nothing was coming to mind except how these four monsters could run so fast chasing each other. Terminal Velocity came to mind, so that's what went down on the form. Oh well....

You can have it set up for automatic log-in. That's what I did.
