I think I know Douglas the Intrepid

I definitely ask "who?" a lot when real names are used.

 

[Gidget]

I should have used my family nickname of Lala instead of Gidget. I never knew where this was all going when I signed on!!! But Gidget is fun too!

In fact, I've often wondered HOW names are picked! I picked mine because I was always told - when I was younger - that I looked like Sandra Dee (WAY back when!) And I loved her surfing movies! She was Gidget before Sally Field but LOL I've been told WAY back that I looked like her too!

So perhaps this is the start of a new thread....

How did you all come to decide on your profile names? (except for Susan Horn, Chandra, Buz LIvingston, and the other people using their REAL names! )

I use an altered version of my real name:

Kit is my first name, and Little is my maiden name. KitLit.

A scooterbug is Mama Scooterbug's name for a cute baby/little kid scooting around as they learn to crawl/walk or a bug that skates across the surface of the water.

I was a great lil' crawler and then grew into a gangly kid who swam the breaststroke as one of my events.................the nickname got brought back in high school when she accidentally asked a teammate "which lane is my little scooterbug in?" .

 

[Teresa]

Tootsie. its a family nickname I was raised with (thanks to dear old grandaddy). I did not like the name when I was a teen and refused to answer to it. I grew to appreciate it and welcomed it back later on. now, I'm called Tootsie by nearly everyone except Dad who calls me Mary (my first name - no one else ever uses it except the doctor or someone reading from a chart). so its mary teresa elizabeth tootsie... (elizabeth = confirmation name).

If I could change my board name it would be: Mary Tootsie (or sister mary tootsie) (another nickname given by a few good friends). SMT.

Ha these are great! I feel like I know you all a bit more now!

Sister Mary Tootsie. . . I think she taught second grade at my school.

Sister Mary Tootsie. . . I think she taught second grade at my school.

calling me Sister anything is so funny, but I've always been called either Sister or Mother whatever...

so, where did MissCritter come from? were you a critter in a former life? if so, what kind?
