How did you choose your member name?

[JulesPeeps]

My mother has always called me Jules. A lot of my guy friends have called me Peeps, since my last name is Peoples. Soo.. JulesPeeps. It is also my twitter, and youtube name. Haha

[dleader]

I came up with dleader since I am d leader of the group or d leader of the band. I'll just leave it to speculation.

[sherrid]

I' m sure mines easy to guess. First name Sherri. D is for Denise. Everybody calls me "sherrid"......so sherrid it is.

[Tonka Truck]

when I was around 6 or 7 all I wanted for Christmas was a Dump Truck & a bulldozer. Come Christmas morning when I open my gifts there was a large metal Tonka dump truck and Tonka Road Grater. I picked up the Grater and handed it to my Dad and said, 'Daddy you can play with this one. I wanted a bulldozer.' I kept that Tonka Truck most of my life and it wasn't till I was in High School.

On top of that, my Papaw was a West Virginia dump truck driver for the coal mines, my Dad also drove dump truck for a few years along with him. Eventually I thought that I would also be a dump truck driver once I got out of school, but that never came about. Papaw retired long before that, sold the Lambert business and Dad had gotten out of it by the time I was 10 years old.

I have fond memories of those days, and it was just the perfect name for me here. Everybody wants to be a Pick-Up Truck guy, me I'll take my Tonka Truck and 100, 000 miles on my knees thank you please! LOL

[mbrown1219]

First initial, last name, month and date of birth. I figured I could remember that for the next few years anyhow! I'm definitely on the other side of the mountain on the downward hill, putting on the brakes with a screech which really doesn't slow down the clock much at all.... ageing quickly, praying for ageing gracefully any minute now (or the rapture, my preference of course.)

I was thinking month and year of birth.I was thinking "you are sure doing well for being born in 1919.

Oh, don't I know it.

[Holding Pattern]

It was the name of our sailboat. Holding Pattern

[Faith's Dad]

Had to do a lot of thinking............my daughter's name is Faith......

[GoldenRatio]

Hi everyone, I'm new
Mine was a split-second, off-the-top-of-my-head decision... My signature pretty much explains it - I love math and when I was in grade school I read about the golden ratio and thought how amazing it is that God used such mathematical order in His lovely creation.

[ldonjohn]

When I registered for this site I had no clue about selecting a member name so I used my first initial + middle name+first part of my last name; came out ldonjohn which could be pronounced eldonjohn. Doesn't look or sound spiritual or biblical but it is what it is and I'm stuck with it.

[TheRedeemed]

I chose mine because its what I am through the shed blood, death and resurrection of our Lord, simple eh?!

[Mongoose60]

For my nickname,it came about being an admire of mongooses.They have good communities and can certainly fight snakes well (which brings about a type of spiritual side to this since snakes are regarded by many cultures to be evil or an omen of it).True story............

[moosejive]

When we first got a computer and internet I was trying to come up with a name that would be easy to remember. Every one that I tried was already taken and I would have had to put numbers behind it. I was getting very frustrated when I looked at the coffee mug I was using. It was from our trip to Yellowstone and had dancing moose's (meese?) on it with the word MOOSEJIVE too. I love the animal (very stately,majestic) and so I typed it in. It was accepted, with NO numbers needed!! I've used it for many years now as my go to name for about everything. All I see are the happy, dancing moose on the cup and a name that was easy to remember.

[moosejive]

Reading this thread I've become aware of how many do not post anymore, bit sad.

, probably from busy lives, gone home to God , etc, but still sad...

I can relate. A while back I was trying to create an email address or something and kept getting the message that whatever I chose wasn't "available." IIRC, out of frustration I finally typed in okaywhatISavailable and for some strange reason, nobody had taken that name.....

[$teve]

Mine was tough.

I really had to exercise my canny creative abilities to invent my member name.

First, I carefully and thoughtfully chose my first name 'Steve'

Then, after what felt like an eternity of deep contemplative I eyed the $ sign.

Finally, leveraging my strong skills in synthesis and astuteness, I combined the '$' with 'teve' to form $teve!

Thus happy with the outcome of my invention, is the history of how I chose my member name.

[Mother Ann]

I spent many years working as a church secretary and with the children. Someone began calling me Mother Ann, because she said I was like the mother of the church. It just kind of stuck.
