Where do people come up with their user names?

[Clint454]

Just curious, wondering how some people come up with the funny and interesting names.
Clint is my real name and 454 is my favorite car engine. :D

[Double T Dude Ranch]

Mine is Double T because those are my initials and dude ranch is something "farmy", lol :D

[Jilly Moon]

Mine isn't all that interesting - Jilly is a nickname from my real name, and Moon...well, I'm just a lunar-loving sort of gal ;-D

[Kelsey]

Bella is my dog.
My first account is simply my name - Kelsey

[shdytxmn]

My last name slightly morphed joined with my profession - accounting and taxes. Had the vowels until my wife messed up my address years ago with our then ISP. New ISP wouldn't allow that many characters. Farm name is because I grew up partially in Kansas and graduated from the University of Kansas (Jayhawks).

[amberdh]

Amber is my name of course :) and D and H are my middle and last initials

[Uncle Steves Farm]

I'm Steve and I'm an Uncle,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and it's my farm.

Real creative huh?:p:p

[GrannyMo]

I'm Steve and I'm an Uncle,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and it's my farm.

Real creative huh?:p:p

You're in good company, Steve. My nickname is Mo (from Mona), and I'm a granny.

We saved our creativity for our farms instead of our user names, of course. :)

[HLeeV]

I have four myspace profiles just for games and I use my profile names for my farmers.

#1 Farmer name is Anna May. My middle name and the month I was born. Actually my middle name is Ann but I thought Ann May sounded a little dorky. :p

Farm name: Hoosier Homestead.

#2 Farmer name is HLeeV. My daughter's initials and middle name.

Farm name: Hooserville

#3 Farmer name is Kay. My first initial is K

Farm name: Indiana Heartland

#4 Farmer name is Hope. My boyfriends last name and a name I've always have loved anyway. Probably closest I will ever get to having that name. :(

Farm Name: Hoosier Hope

Hoosier Heartland is my Facebook farm, and I am Momma Kay on there. First initial thing again.


I'm from Indiana and Hoosier is our state nickname, so every farm reflects living in Indiana someway, whether it's having Hoosier in the name or Indiana. I've also heard Indiana referred to as the Heartland of America (as some other states I'm sure) so I used that in a couple of the farm names.

[Crow Meris]

My first farm: my name is Crow, and the farm name was just a logical choice.

My second farm: the name 'Sojourner' was on the top five list of names for our daughter, but lost out. This was a chance to use it. The name Sojourner means "Traveler", so "Sojourner's Rest" seemed perfect.

[Wild]

I wanted to create a farm that was not very "structured" and very lush... so I called it Wild and Wonderful Plantation. Originally used my real name as the Avatar name, but quickly figured out that it was better to have something unique that would stand out in the market so that people I was getting to know could spot me there, so I just started using the farm name for my avatar, but everyone shortened it to Wild. When I registered for the forum simply to ask one question, I used Wild and the rest is history! :)

Great idea for a thread, by the way!

[Tyler45]

my name. Tyler and the number in my email address. 45.

Tyler45

:)

[Kulot]

OK.... KULOT ...Kulot in english is CURLY..the reason why I use this simply because my hair is CURLY :D as you can see in my avatar : D

[CoDa]

CoDa came from my WW2 online gaming days. I played what (to me at least) is the greatest online game ever, Return to Castle Wolfenstein. I was in a clan called W.O.L.F. (any old wolfies read this, get in touch)
Any way I was looking for a nick and my favourite author is Jeffery Deaver and one on his books is called "The Coffin Dancer". So that was it, I became CoffinDancer which was shortened by my Wolfies to CoDa. End of long boring story

[Hypnotic]

my name "hypnotic" is the ID i put on all the software and web pages i make.. has been that way forever haha. so i use it here also :)

[flyingpita]

Pita was my Maine Coon Cat's name. She was part (ok mostly) wild and when she got into one of her crazy cat moods she would jump from the top of the fridge to the top of the kitchen cabinets to whatever (or whoever) was nearby. It appeared she flew. Years ago when I needed to establish myself on the net Flyingpita was born and I've been that ever since.
Oh and Pita is the acroynm you think it is. Plus I was a Caterer so the bread link also fits me. :-)

[Magrat Garlick]

My name is Margaret (like Magrat but her mother couldn't spell) and I'm an avid Discworld/Terry Pratchett fan

http://www.facebook.com/home.php?

[silky]

My hubby gave me the name years ago~~~ lol... thinks I have silky skin! lmao!:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::p:p:p

[purehrts]

in truth, my username is just words put together to be able to register and post in here. :)

[Chattin]

It's also the name of one of my favorite books. "The Sojourner" by Marjorie Rawlings.... her last novel. I read it first when I was a child and have read it a number of times since. You might enjoy it too.

Cheers,
Sue

[donnakingkonna]

my first name is donna, my username is a childhood nickname...it has followed me around for many years! (my older brother gave it to me...thanks bro :cool:)

[Kay Pasa]

Well, my username is rather obvious.....I love bunnies and I'm female, I didn't think "bunnywoman" sounded right and I'm way way passed the "girl" stage so Bunnylady was it. BTW, is there a way to change your username?

[Pamajama1]

My name is Pamela and a former coworker (now friend) of mine came into my office on my first day singing "she's a bad pamajama" (to the tune of bad mama jama...the old r&b song). The nickname has stuck ever since.

There was a dance that went along with the song as well. LOL!

[amysinsanity]

Mine is kinda boring but, amysinsanity was a hint to my password for my email. The answer was kids. lol Ive had it so long that I just use it for everything now.

[Molly Mew]

What an interesting thread. :)

My user name goes way back to the old AOL message board days. My nickname at home is Molly (for reasons a little long to go into here, lol!) and my very first 'board' was the Cat Board, so 'Mew' seemed to fit nicely. I've kept it ever since.

[CAY]

Mine's boring, just my initials. I joined the forum a couple months ago to ask a simple question; can't remember what it was now. If I had known at the time that I would be posting over 100 posts, I would have made an effort to be more interesting, lol!

[Hedgehog Mark]

At the board game and role playing club I used to attend I started to be called Hedgehog because my hair was combed up and looked like spines.

Unfortunately "Hedgehog" was taken as a user name so I added Mark because that's my name.

Simples! :)

[Gothmog Jones]

Mine comes from Tolkien's original middle-earth stories (from before Lord of the Rings was even started) with my RL last name.

[janer50]

10 years ago a friend was picking on me and called me janer( jane is my name) and I added my age...hence janer50...but that was then and now I am almost 60 and refuse to age anymore:o:eek::p

[LogoMc]

LogoMc
Logan and McKinley are my dogs and the highest mountains in North America

[Che-Rah]

My RL name is Cherie. A few years ago I had a manager position in my local airport's lounge. If airline passengers get too intoxicated, they will be denied boarding. I would inform patrons that "according to FAA regulations, you will not be permitted to board your flight if you can not handle yourself in an emergency situation" if I saw the need to cut them off. One VERY inebriated gentleman looked at my name tag and said "Who are you? Che-rah, Princess of Power?!" From that day on all my coworkers simply called me Che-rah.

[Smelly feet]

My name is smelly feet because smelly rhymes with my name (shelley - nickname, real name Michelle) and feet normally smell!!! My farm name of foxy's farm is because my surname is Foxcroft so mine not really very imaginative - oh well x

[KoKo's Korner]

My initials are K.O., hence KoKo. And I like alliteration, so KoKo's Korner it is!

[sir win-a-lot]

Got my name before FT, when I used to play Bingo and took the game by storm. My partner and I got the title of Win a Lots when we each topped 2 million points increase in a month! Took me a bit longer to do that on here, and now I'm looking towards the 3 million, but it's been much more fun, and boy, have things changed along the way!

[tk61]

tk....my initials, 61 the year I was born. Geez! Could I be any more boring?!!!

[pg tips]

PG tips is a brand of tea my initials are pg and the nick name was given to me at middle school and its stuck since its my log in name for everything. And on here im always giving tips help and advice so it seems to work. and also i drink enough tea during the day

[Hessler]

I play a game called Trukz.
My name there is SirSpeedAlot
So here Im SirFarmAlot and Im not the only one. Ive run into a farmalot a few times.:D

[Tn Plow Boy]

I'm From Tennessee, and the Plow Boy just sounded 'Farmie' lol

[jo-by-the-sea]

I started out as just Jo but there were so many of us! I still meet so many farmers called Jo, Jo Jo, jojo, Joanne, Joanna - I even have buddies with the same name so I can't tell who they are. So I wanted something distinctive and I live by the sea in Ramsgate, Kent (UK). I use jo-by-the-sea for eBay as well and will probably use it many more times too.

I have a second persona - Fatty Falmund Fish - he is a real fish in my pond in the garden!

[little Jo]

My name is Jo. When I was little I watched Bonanza which was my idea of a ranch or farm and I think one of the characters was little Jo?
The farm is called the Cattery 2.1 cos I've filled it with cats as I like cats. And it's pretty much version 2.1 though like Microsoft, I may take some time to come up with the next version.
Looking forward to some new developments in Farmtown noe I've hit the dizzy heights of level 34.

[Goosecreek]

Growing up on my Grandparents farm I used to spend a lot of time near a creek feeding and watching the geese. My farm is called Goosecreek because I wanted to honor my grandparents that are no longer with me. Real name is Hope.:) That's my story and I'm sticking to it! :cool:

[illib]

illlib is a play on my profession - I am the Interlibrary Loan manager at a college library - Peyton's Place - well, gotta love those COLTS !

[Little Wing]

My favorite musician/guitarist in the entire world is Stevie Ray Vaughan. My favorite song of his is 'Little Wing.' :) My name is also a nod to Jimi Hendrix, who had the song first.

As for the name of my farm: my hubby grew up in Mail Pouch country (West Virginia). Mail Pouch barns are all over the place around there, and anyone who has ever lived around them knows exactly what I mean when I say seeing one of those barns just makes me smile, every time we go home for a visit.


Little Wing

[Clint454]

Thanks for all your post. These are all quite entertaining. I know there is a lot more of you out there so lets hear it.

[amysinsanity]

[Clint454]

Haven't heard from anyone for awhile. Lets hear it, I know there is a lot more stories out there.

[Wild]

I can't believe this thread just kinda fizzled... I thought it was a great idea and very interesting!

Anyone else care to share?????

[Rancher Sander]

I'm from Texas and Rancher just seemed the way to go. Sander is from my first name.
My farm is named for a town called Blue Ridge because I've always liked the name. I thought about using Frognot from another local town.... :D We have great names here like Dog Run Ridge and Still House Hollow.

[Rancher Sander]

illlib is a play on my profession - I am the Interlibrary Loan manager at a college library

That's part of my job at my library too! We don't have enough ILLs to warrant it as a job by itself.

Sorry about hijacking the thread...going to go sleep now.

[Begonia Wildwind]

Begonia Wildwind is my 'hippie name' from one of those goofy facebook quizzes. My other handle is Mama9cats, 'cos I'm a mama and I used to have 9 cats.

[amysinsanity]

wow 9 cats thats alot

[ChunkyDumplin]

lol
I got mine from my best friend.. I always call her Buttercup, and one day she decided to call me her Chunky Dumplin, and it just kinda stuck with me lol..

My normal ID name on every site but this one. is fyzzlestyx. Its because I used to say that good ol 4 letter F word all the time... I mean ALL THE TIME too.. And I was trying to break myself from it, because my nephew started saying it, at all the wrong times too lol.. So I started to spit it out, and spit that out instead.. So theres my story and im stickin to it...

[DTSkynyrd]

I have been tagged Douglas T. Skynyrd for at least 25 years now! I am a Lynyrd Skynyrd fan!

Farm On! !! !!!DT

[Indigo Rose]

My name, I like roses and for some silly reason I like the word indigo and the colour ain't bad either. LOL.

I sometimes used Jack's Nanna, I think the reason would be obvious.

My farm's name, I like trees/pines and when the wind blows through the pine forest it sort of sounds like whispering.

Deep huh? ROFL.

Little Wing, off to investigate Mail Pouch barns, don't think we have them in my part of the world.

[Indigo Rose]

What has happened to the link to my farm, off to investigate that as well.

[Goosecreek]

Interesting stories... let's keep em coming.;)

[kutupkate]

My avatar's name is now, as of today, Mrs. Kalnozoli Kate. I changed to this in honour of our farm's name that we bought here in Latvia in August. It means hill oak. My real name is Kathleen hence the 'Kate.' I used to be Kutup Kate, meaning I am a real cut up, an amusing sort of person.
My farm's name is Soaring Eagle Farm from Isaiah 40:31.
Blessings to all.

[aerogal]

mine is because I'm an aeronautical engineer - and my farm name is because I'm so darn picky that things just to be right that it's taking forever for me to finish!:o

[plower2thepeople]

Since I am not a beggar in the marketplace I felt that my name would get the attention of someone in need of a plower. It worked beautifully while getting to level 34, and it is working again. Once at level 60 later today, I will retire the name for good hopefully:rolleyes:.

[ms cindy]

I am an elementary school librarian. The kids at school had a problem learning how to pronounce my last name. So they call me Miss Cindy. The name was already taken in the forum, so i had to change miss, to ms.

[TripleD's]

I wanted jobs and I thought with my name I could get hired ;) LOL

[Snappy Dungarees]

Well those dungarees are just SO snappy. I mean...they're a real trendsetter in the farming world. :rolleyes:

[Retarded Fury]

I'm a raging idiot. :cool::o:rolleyes:

[Melanie34]

I wanted jobs and I thought with my name I could get hired ;) LOL

:eek:Thats a GOOD one!:D

[garden ho]

When my then boyfriend husband returned back to the states from service, he discovered that I loved flower gardening. We were at a fair and he came across an airbrush booth where he had the words "Garden Ho" and a picture of a hoe put on it - apparently they didn't have a picture of . . . well, you know. . .LOL I had the vanity plate on the front of my car for years and you should have seen people's reactions when I explained exactly what it meant.

[Melanie34]

Inked Diva was taken =( so im just me .....

[Capt. Conor]

MINE IS
CCALBY I GOT IT BECAUSE
C = MY FIRST NAME CONOR
CALBY=MY LAST NAME SO
CCALBY :d

[Farmer Dork]

I originally had a different name but when I changed the facial features etc I thought my avatar looked like a dork. Plus I've been known to act like a dork on occasions. Funny thing is people always tell me it's the reason they hire me;)

[CAY]

I am an elementary school librarian. The kids at school had a problem learning how to pronounce my last name. So they call me Miss Cindy. The name was already taken in the forum, so i had to change miss, to ms.

Hey, ms cindy, I was a reference librarian in a university library for seven years in the 90's. Great field; it felt great to help people every day with their non-life-threatening problems/information needs. I haven't worked in 10 yrs, but will be interested to see how it's changed when I do go back. My current RL might be not that far off from yours right now as I seem to spend much of my time volunteering in my kids' elementary school. (Miss the paycheck, however, meager though it was, lol!)

[amysinsanity]

ok so my honey and I were sitting by the computer and I asked him where people come up with thier name's.... so we got this thread its sliding to the back so I'm putting it back at the top, I still haven't seen the answer I was looking for. I was hoping sock puppet would answer. But I have gotten many laughs out of other people's answers.

[MissHolli]

Holli and Wyatt are our dogs. I started playing FarmTown shortly after we got them, and didn't want to use my usual online nickname, so I named my avatar after Holli and the farm after Wyatt.

As you can guess by my avatar, they're Mini Schnauzers...

[Morerose]

Love your retreats Jilly Moon~

[dcprior]

What a fun thread! My user name here is my initials plus last name. My avatar's name is Christine...I'm not very creative! My farm's name is "Gotta Wotta Dogs" which is a quote from my four year old nephew. He walked in to my house one day and all the dogs greeted him; he said, "Whoa, you got a wotta dogs!"

[Florida Boy]

I'm a raging idiot. :cool::o:rolleyes:

lol

Bet you can't guess the masterminding behind my user name!

[amberdh]

lol

bet you can't guess the masterminding behind my user name!

lmao..........

[Laird MacLachlainn]

I have named my farm "Sláinte Mhath" pronounced "Slan-chee-Va" from scots gaelic meaning Good Health! or Cheers!
I thought it would be a good name to compliment my hilly scottish landscape.
With all those hills it's got to be healthy?
Happy Farming Everyone.

Thanks for posting Laird very interesting.
That was also your 100th post
congrats you are now a senior forum member

[humility]

HUMILITY-that's the name i want ---to remind me always stay humble..whatever happens..im practicing one of the fruit of the Spirit..

[Clint454]

Bump to page one.
I see a lot of new names posting on the forum, let's hear your story.

[Nirgal]

Had to choose a user name when I first joined a dial-up bulletin board way back when...

I was in the middle of reading Kim Stanley Robinson's "Mars" trilogy, which featured characters whose names were those of the war deities from various languages and cultures. As my first name is a variant of Mars, it made sense to choose one of these... and I've used it since.

[Miss Lisa V]

HUMILITY-that's the name i want ---to remind me always stay humble..whatever happens..im practicing one of the fruit of the Spirit..

I really like this name...Mine isn't original Miss Lisa(my first name)V(middle initial). Nope not Veronica or Victoria...Verena, a dutch name. What I really like is my farms name... Lisa's Estate of Serenity. This game has helped me through recovering from surgery, to keeping my mind off of losing my job over said surgery. Also, being a woman who's proud of my recovery for 4 1/2 yrs., it just seemed to fit. Happy Farming Everyone!:)

[Gary Bob]

My avatar (Jim Blandings) and farm name (The Old Hackett Place) come from one of my favorite movies "Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House". After all, what are we doing here? Building our dream house! I guess most people here are too young to catch on because I have never had anyone ask about it.

[amysinsanity]

ok gotta put it back at the top still curious

[tomater]

Simple enough, I grow them and I love to eat them. :D

[Goosecreek]

I read those!

[modheshka]

I used to live in Dubai, United Arab Emirates where they have the Dubai Summer Surprises, an annual summer extravaganza especially organized for children, and the DSS mascot was named Modhesh. I just added "ka" at the end to make it sound like a girl's name 'coz Modhesh is male.

[Julia2654]

Mine is from my "forever" email address. 2654 is my birthday. 2/6/54

I asked Wild to change my Forum name to Nurse Julia, but she's been busy, lol. but the AKA works just as well and I'm a happy girl.

[katiemae2]

mine is simple a variant of my name Kathleen Mary . Someone at work called me Katie Mae and that reminded me of my great grandma Mary Jane who was called Mae so I started using that.

[Clint454]

Ok time to bump this thread up as there are many new members.
Come on people lets hear your stories.

[PennyMom]

Just before I started playing Farm Town in June, I found a great dog at a local pet shelter. She is an Australian Cattle Dog, a breed we don't see much around my part of Long Island. That's why I named my spread Cattle Dog Corners. Her name is Penny, hence my username.

Merry Christmas everyone! The original Penny is chewing happily on her gift from Santa while I am spending this quiet morning here for a bit before seeing friends and family later :) And Happy Harvests to everyone for the New Year!

[RchGuessWho]

My user name is my dogs racing name,,,rchguesswho,,means
Racing champion guess who,,his full name is too long as he a national champ and scot champ too. He's the old looking dog in my photo :D

[Sock Puppet]

mine is not really that interesting.... sock puppeting in net lingo is an alternate identity, this and my farm is supposed to be just my 2nd farm where i can harvest and plow, until i got messed up with my original farm and forgot the password.... ^_^

[Leenie]

i have 2 farms farm its miss leenie that what i like to be called and on my other other its miss *****y due having a arrugment on ft.

[SunnyD]

My Avatar names? I use SunnyD. My nic name that started in childhood and just stuck is Sunshine a hippie boyfriend of my baby sitter named me that. and everyone shortened it after a while to Sunny and the D is the first Initial of my Last name.... (got to love the 60's nic names) My other Avatar Is Janis that name is in honor of Janis Joplin her farm is of Course "Bethel Woods" that is the name of the farm where woodstock was held. Oh my SunnyD farm name is "Sowega Farms" because the area we live in is South West Georgia and often called Sowega.... And Sunshine's farm is called "Sleepy Hollow" because the land I own was named "The Hollow" by the original owners. It was the lowest section of his farm land and so he called it that..... ( I spelled it wrong when I started my account on the forum LOL) Is there any way to change it to the correct spelling in the forum?

[Molly Mew]

SleepyH.. send a PM to Wild and she can change your forum username for you. Have a look through the members' list first to make sure the name you want isn't already taken. :)

[Happy pants]

I always call my granddaughter Cranky Pants when she throws a tantrum... and as I'm a little old to throw tantrums, I'm pretty happy most of the time.

[tooferdoc]

I'm a dentist and I call myself tooferdoc.

[patsy's harley]

My name is Patsy, and I own a harley davidson motorbike...

( very simple ..... ha ha... I'm not very creative )

[SunnyD]

how do i find the members list? and thanks for letting me know how to do this....

[Double T Dude Ranch]

how do i find the members list? and thanks for letting me know how to do this....

You can click on the community tab on the blue line and click members list or on the main page you can click on forum leaders and find her name or also at the bottom of the social forum page you'll see her name as one of the mods.

[Greyhoundgrrrl]

My avatar just has my real name, Claudia. I've only run into one other Claudia in the market and we both got a kick out the fact that we shared the same name.

My user name on the forums is (obviously) Greyhoundgrrrl because I am a stong supporter of greyhound adoption and I'm still a riot grrrl at heart.

My 1st farm is called Pine Grove, not terribly creative but I love pine trees and my farm has a whole bunch of them.

My 2nd farm is Tumbleweed Gulch because I live in New Mexico on Tumbleweed Road. I thought it sounded kind of cute, old fashioned, and regional even though my farm really has nothing to do with the desert.

[Minkydo]

My forum name is a family nick, and I use it on almost all the forums that I frequent. My avatar name recently changed from that to Beggars Begone! I think it's pretty self-explanatory :)

[Sassy Kathy]

When my son was expecting his first child there was great conversation about what the grandparents would be called. Something I had never given thought to before, but it seemed important to everyone that they have a new and unique nickname. My daughter-in-law's mother came up with Lolli for her and Pop for her husband. She thought it would be cute, for example, to sign off on birthday cards "Love, Lolli & Pop" and put a lollipop in the card. I was dismayed because I came up with nothing extraordinary.

After he was born and was learning his first words, I decided I wanted him to call me Cassie. My mother and I are both Kathleen, her nickname was Cass -- Cassie is an obvious spin-off. No one else says Cassie in the family so it would be his nickname for me (keeping me forever young - LOL).

I'll never forget the look on his face when he realized that "Cassie" was what he could call me, as Daddy was to his father. He was so exhuberant and it also was one of the very first words he spoke. After that first day he apparently didn't like the "k" sound of Cassie and on the second day it became Sassy. The name sticks and I am his Sassy, and now my granddaughter's Sassy too.

So here, I am Sassy Kathy.

[i hate farmville]

Mine is because i was banned for having two coops even after i spent money on the game ... i didn't know it was against the law to have two chicken coops (everyone i knew had at least that many and someone just told me how to get them i didn't even ask) no warning no nothing just a nice big fat ban so i am wearing my emotions on my sleeve so to speak LOL I could see if they told me it was against the rules and i need to remove the extra one i could respect that but to ban me without even saying anything or warning that i would be banned is unnecessary in my opinion... at least they could have sent me my money back if nothing else..

[wskibnt]

doo what? You were banned from farmville for having two chicken coops? C'mon, be honest, what did you really do? lol, I think I will go buy three and see if they shut my farm down. It would be a blessing to have my requests page not be full of farmville gifts. Will get back to you on this

[GrannyMo]

Now THERE'S an idea I like! On my way to see if I also can get banned for excessive chicken-cooping.

Edited to add: Well, rats. The darned chicken coop doesn't even show up for me to buy, since I already have one. So much for that.

what would be the point of lying about it? The only good thing that came of this was I started playing Farm Town again.. I work a lot so I don't have time for lots of games, and realized this one has a lot better buildings etc... so it worked out in the end.. I am just mad because I spent actual money on the game even in it's beta stage because i wanted to donate since i got so much enjoyment playing it... Oh well I hope if I do something wrong in this game I am notified before being banned. I went to the forum and the notice said you have been banned for having multiple chicken coops sorry I can't remember the password i used and so I cannot provide a screen print for you so weather you believe me or not I speak the truth.. I am not a person that lies I have no reason to.

I am just mad because I spent actual money on the game even in it's beta stage because i wanted to donate since i got so much enjoyment playing it... Oh well I hope if I do something wrong in this game I am notified before being banned. I went to the forum and the notice said you have been banned for having multiple chicken coops sorry I can't remember the password i used and so I cannot provide a screen print for you so weather you believe me or not I speak the truth.. I am not a person that lies I have no reason to.
'
I was not really saying you were lieing, couldn't you see the smerk on my face when I said it? lol It seems odd that they would ban a paying player, I guess they make so much money they don't need your's, anyway, welcome to the asylum as we have much better things on FT. Sorry if I offended

LOL well I should fit right in if this is an asylum :D .. well I am sure they don't care about my money your right no big deal it was from my xmas bonus money anyway... have a great day

[Jericho Jane]

I loved the TV show "Jericho" and that is where my name came from, as for Jane it sounded better than Jericho Kathie. LOL

[BirdSalad]

I use BirdSalad as a word play on my name IRL - see if you can guess what it might be! Bird represents my first name - Salad for my last.

Why, do you want to explain Nirgal all over again? Oh wait, "Copy".... "Paste".... riiiiiight.

Why, do you want to explain Nirgal all over again? Oh wait, "Copy".... "Paste".... riiiiiight.

Just giving those that want to a chance to tell their tales...

(had my info in a file on my PC, then thought I should resurrect this thread)

[wingzero_01_custom]

I'm a nerd so I tend to use names plucked out of games and shows I like as an example I'm currently using Sephiroth, my farm name is Rockin' Robin ranch and Rockin' Robin Homestead simply cause I really love the song plus it's kinda unique from what I have seen thus far.

[spanky84]

well much to the dismay of many dirty old men on farmtown (lol), my name does not refer to a fetish of mine :) it's actually a reference to the character from the little rascals - when i was little my parents thought i was a bit of a rascal myself so when the movie came out, they all called me spanky (the ringleader!) and i guess it stuck! :)

[lcswdonna]

My LCSW (licensed clinical social worker) is worth six and a half years of school, fifty thousand dollars in student loan debt (almost paid off now), a two year internship and many, many sleepless nights so I use it for my user name everywhere. It has opened up many doors for me. And my name is Donna of course. My first farm name is the name of a town about ten miles from here that is known for its fruit, Palisade peaches anyone? The other one is a City Park, duh. And what do I do with all this education? Farmtown of course. And I farm. And I own a small assisted living facility.

Donna, If I'd spent that much time, effort and money on the right to use those initials, I'd bloody well use them everywhere as well. Thanks for the explanation.

[Double T Dude Ranch]

Bumping up. We have some new members that I'd like to know how they got their names :D

[Kristina24]

Well....Kristina is my name and the 24 is because my fav NASCAR driver is Jeff Gordon. It's simple!

[Angels Shangri-La]

My name is Angela, ever since I can remember I have been called Angel. Sounded as the 'a' in apple.

Shangri-La is a mythical earthly paradise isolated from the outside world.

[Lavenda]

hmm, thought I had posted in here.

Lavenda has been my online name (if not already taken...) since I first got online over 10 years ago. I picked it because I like purple, I like the plant and I liked a guy whose surname was Lavender.

As for my farms, they are named after the places they represent which are all from Tolkien's Middle Earth. I now have my farms based on the layout of Middle Earth though it is most certainly NOT to scale (oh, and the wierd wrench thing on farm 2 is Sauron's tower with his eye at the top. And yes it's obvious! The orange crate half-way down the Modern Mansion (Minas Tirith) wall isn't obvious...)

[Sheri1969]

Can somebody please tell me how to change the name of my avatar? Currently it is Sheri-Liegh and I want to change it to something different. If you can help me ASAP, I'd really appreciate it as I'm at my parent's and my mom made a mistake and put Shi instead of her full name Shirley. Your help asap would be very much appreciated.

Sincerely,
Sheri L. Adams

[Cookie01]

My user name was chosen because I like to bake and I thought the name fitted in well with the idea of computers and cookies and things. :)
My farms are named for the themes I've chosen for them. When I've figured a few things out, I'll put up links. :rolleyes: Doh!

In the meantime the names are
Home Farm
The Vinyard
The Garden Centre
Dozo Yoroshiko.

I'll leave you to work out the themes. :D

[mst]

There are a few Vivian's on FT and I am Canadian therefore Canadian Vivian

[Snappy Dungarees]

What more can I say. My dungarees are rather snappy are they not? ;)

[Kelsey]

I think I've posted in this thread before ... but since it's coming back to life ...

I'm totally lame. Went with my name as my forum user name.
My avatar is also named Kelsey. The FB account I use for my dog's farm - the avatar is named Bella. The other FB account I use for farming, I named the avatar Neiviv (cause her name is Vivien and that's Vivien backwards). My MS account is Bella. And that's it.

[Happy pants]

I explained Happy pants back thataway ^ ^ ^ ^ but my alter ego is named Maggie-Jo... which happens to be the short forms of my second name and my first name.

[Animedevildog]

I use the name Animedevildog because I am a big time anime nut, and I served in the Marine Corps from 91 to 95. So, I figured I would combine two big things in my life.

[amysinsanity]

Well....Kristina is my name and the 24 is because my fav NASCAR driver is Jeff Gordon. It's simple!

Hey thats Clints favorite driver too.

[mpdzine]

My Avatar is Mia and it's cause we're teaching my neice to call me "Aunt Me" (it's easier than Marie) but calling my avatar Me was pretty stupid.. lol

mpdzine comes from my initials (mp) and dzine=design cause I do website designs and crazy pretty farm designs

[Tiger Laybourne]

Childhood nickname, i used to eat a lot of ............. lollipops :)

[TexWolverine]

Born and raised in Michigan. Living in Texas. "Tex Wolverine". I love it when people ask me where I'm from. It makes me think of that line from Forrest Gump. "......and Tex, well I don't recall where he was from." :)

[Angels Shangri-La]

Makes me think of Hugh Jackman:D

[Lavenda]

mmm, that's a nice thought... :)

[Angels Shangri-La]

Another Aussie:)

[MissChaz]

Mine is pretty simple and boring lol. Miss because I'm not married and Chaz is short for my name Chassidy. People call me Chaz for short. :o

[elisestobbe]

Elisestobbe is a combination of family names, not my real name. My avatar is "Dr. Farmer" because I thought that being a doctor might indicate to farmers hiring others in the Marketplace that I was a good worker and not likely to be a young newbie. Doctors know what to do, right? Besides, I'm a mom of four grown children and the advice they ask me for reminds me of a psychiatrist. lol

[Clint454]

New people time to bump

[Angels Shangri-La]

New people time to bump

You want me to bump you? Sure, with pleasure:p

[Espresso]

Mine is pretty self-explanatory.

[Angels Shangri-La]

Mine is pretty self-explanatory.

Yes it is, mine is somewhere way back in the thread. Angel is what I have always been called, my name is Angela. Shangri-La is a mythical place of perfection. :)

[Tony D]

Mine is pretty simple and boring lol. Miss because I'm not married and Chaz is short for my name Chassidy. People call me Chaz for short. :oNice name, have not heard that one before.

[Angels Shangri-La]

Chassidy is very different. I like different. How did your parents come up with that?:)

[Happy pants]

I had a friend in school named Chasity... but it was only cause her parents couldn't spell.

[MissChaz]

Thanks hun and very good question lol I'm not sure. I know my mom told me my dad wanted to name me Jacqueline, but my mom would not have it haha. I'm guessing my mom liked the name Chastity and decided to spell it differently. I never really thought about it....I will have to ask her now lol. Now I want to know lol.

[Happy pants]

We called my friend Chaz too.

[MissChaz]

We called my friend Chaz too.

Cool hun. One of my friends used to call me Chazzie....I didn't like that too much and one day I had enough and whacked him over the head with a rolled up newspaper :p. Now he just calls me that over the phone where I can't get him xD

[Angels Shangri-La]

Thanks hun and very good question lol I'm not sure. I know my mom told me my dad wanted to name me Jacqueline, but my mom would not have it haha.

Did you ask her?

[magsmain]

My first three farms are names after the best Movie and Book in the World lol "Gone with the Wind", living in the South it just had to be, the beach one is the name of my town shortned, and the 5th one is where i want to live x

[aussie-sloth]

[Hjalmar3]

@ Valentine's I was known as StupidCupid <3
when i started plowing for xps, i thought of the movie with john travolta "Urban Cowboy" (1980) and this is no mechanical bull!!
Bud Davis is a country boy who moves to the city to visit his uncle. He starts hanging out at Gilley's, owned by Mickey Gilley himself. He takes a job at the refinery where his uncle works. He also meets Sissy, a cowgirl, and they fall in love and suddenly get married. And then their marriage is shattered when Bud sees Sissy allegedly seeing con man Wes, who teaches her how to ride the mechanical bull...and plans to rob Gilley's. When a bull-riding contest is announced, Bud decides to sign up. Can he win the contest and save his marriage to Sissy?

[feistyfarmergirl76]

What an awesome and informative thread. BUMP!!

Feistyfarmergirl76 is my forum name. It is a play on my e-mail address. If I had been truly creative and alliterative, I would have gone with Feistyfarmfemme76. Hindsight is 20/20...or so they say. My avatar's name is Heidi Jo. Heidi is my RL first name and Jo...well, when I started playing in April of 2009, I thought I needed a more "farmy" name, so I tacked on Jo and thus my FarmTown identity was born. Not a particularly exciting story, I am afraid. :o

My farm's names have evolved over time. Currently, My first farm is called the Uncanny Valley. According to my husband, Uncanny Valley is a phenomena that occurs in video games when the video game images become so real--particularly faces--that the brain actually has a harder time believing that they are real...or something to that effect. I just liked the name so much, that my farms all have an "Uncanny" in their names. :D


Thanks Clint for starting this post!

Take care,
Heidi

I look forward to seeing you in some of the other threads that all of us regulars frequent. :D

[Julia2654]

I'm Nurse Julia because... I'm Nurse Julia. sigh...

[Kid Law]

Well my farmtown name is a nickname that I've had for many years now. Here's the story behind the nickname. My real name is Ingrid Law. Several years ago (back during my younger wild days) me and a few friends went out one night and decided to party like rock stars. We even rented a hotel room at a 5 star hotel to crash for the night. We arrived at the hotel around 3:00 am (I was driving) and used the valet service to park the car. The next morning when we went to retrieve the car the valet guy asked me my name so he could locate the car. He came back a few minutes later and said he didn't have a car under that name. I thought maybe I used my friend's name when I checked the car in, so I gave him my friend's name. He came back again and said he didn't have a car under her name. I couldn't remember what name I gave him the night before! So, I told him what kind of car it was and left again to go search for the vehicle. He finally came back and said he found it.......under the name Kid Law! Needless to say, my friends never let me live that one down and it became my nickname. I guess for that one night I thought I was a rock star!:D

[SueW170]

Being a bear of little imagination (borrowing that line from a friend who has imagination) I simply use my real first name Sue and real initial W as my name in Farm Town.
Since I live in an area of the Pacific Northwest where lots of tall trees (mostly conifers) grow, I named my first farm North Woods Acres and just continued the theme. Old North Woods, though my second FT Farm, means it was the original big farm from which North Woods Acres split off.
North Mtn Retreat is self-explanatory: a mountain resort complete with lake, cabins, stone lodge building and a vineyard and winery.
I needed a name for my town on farm 4 and of course it had to contain the word North. Thus Northburough.
Farm 5 is essentially a forest reserve for growing trees as a renewable resource -- hence, North Forest Reserve.
I was out of ideas when 6 came along, but picture it as an extension of farm 1, on the other side of the road that runs along the left edge of farm 1. So North Woods Acres Ext. (for Extension).
When 7 came out, I decided to depart form the North thing and designate it as "The Rez" -- the Indian reservation in my mythical North Woods County.

I have thought maybe I ought to have a catchy farmer name, but decided it's easier for FT Neighbors to know whose farm they're at if I use the same name they see on my FB pages.

[amberdh]

*bumping*

I always enjoyed this thread. It's interesting to see why people chose their user names. :D

I am sure I posted here at some time but will again to get the ball rolling again...

amberdh.... So very boring :o Amber is my name and D and H are my first and last initials.

Told you it was boring!! :p

[Kay Pasa]

Well, my first name is Kay, obviously and many years ago a friend at my job starting calling me Kay Pasa.....Que Pasa.....Spanish for "what's happening or what's up". Since I live in Texas there is alot of Spanish used around here. I thought it would be cute for my avatar.

[Taz D]

Mine has a very simple meaning....I am a slave to my farm....or at least it seems so sometimes.

[Becca Sue]

Mine its just who I am. :)

[feistyfarmergirl76]

I love this thread. Time to BUMP it! (:

[HelenJS22]

Amber is my name of course :) and D and H are my middle and last initials

I'm exactly the same as amber. Helen is my real name and J and S are my middle and last initials. Not very creative?

As someone else has said - we saved creative for names of our farms, though I am surely running out of farm names :confused:

[Angels Shangri-La]

Mine is Angela, but I usually get called Angel. Not Angel as in with the wings. Shangri-La is my mythical place of perfection.:)

[HelenJS22]

Here's another one - My two farm avatars are called Molly and Mandy. This is because when I was little I loved the story books called 'Milly, Molly, Mandy' and one of my aunties nicknamed me Milly. It stuck with her for a long time, and so my avatars became my imaginary sisters Molly and Mandy. If I remember correctly 'Milly Molly Mandy' was the shortened form of one little girls name - I know the first one was Millicent, but the Molly was a different name - I'm sure it would be on Google somewhere though they go back a way.

It's strange the way some things stick in our minds clearly for many years.

[driverdave]

well mine was sort of hung on me lol......i used to work for a company that drove people home in their own cars when they were out drinking.......had one customer that had a rolls-royce and after the first time i drove him and his family home in it he rang the boss and said i want DriverDave to come get us tonight and the name stuck lol

[supertrucker]

i read thru the first 5 pages of this thread, and recognized a couple of posters, so i thought i'd add my 2 bits' worth... 'supertrucker' (my username here) was tacked on by some co-workers years ago -- i worked in the local energy industry, hauling crude oil and salt-water, 29 out of 30 (sometimes more) for close to 2 years; it stuck then, and people who know me well still call me that now and then... Cletus (my avatar's name) kinda suits me, because i'm a bit of a redneck, but with a heart the size of a bus...

[StoneFace]

You really do need a 3rd farm for Milly.... separate farms for each of the three.... really... and you would automatically have two great neighbors.

My name - StoneFace - is just because my profile pic is that of the bust/sculptor of David by Michelangelo ... out of stone.


.

[Happy pants]

Well, it certainly isn't because you're humourless; you've given me more than a chuckle or two over the last 2 years. :D

LOL - Thanks for the idea Stoneface, but NO THANKS :eek: I'm already going quietly nuts with two sets of farms - not to mention keeping up with my crazy schedule in the real world.

I LOVE this thread. It's fun reading how people got their names.

[Bonnie Jo]

Bonnie is not my real name but everyone calls me that. Jo is a tribute to my late sister - that was her middle name. I combined them and made Bonnie Jo my farmer name.

[charlies4ng3ls]

lol - just noticed this one - my user name is actually my real name reversed - and not what everyone thinks - that I'm a fan of Charlie's Angels, I watched as a kid but nothing more .... you can always send me a message if you want to guess and I'll confirm if you are right or wrong! lol

[Greyclan]

Forum, Grey =surname, clan-family and my farmer is Meagane which came from me playing a ton of apps at the time so on the option for avatar name I just just changed the spelling for Me Again. :)

[jenifoofoo]

blend of a nick-name of mine and my bf's. He is a foo foo, long story. I'm a frue frue, which is a totally different thing ;-)

[Dad Shadow]

Mine comes from my dad.. lol

[Sesselwill]

My dad used to call me Sessel as a kid, a play on my first name, Leslie. So, I combine Sessel with the first part of my last name, Williams, to come up with Sesselwill. Lots of fun answers from everyone!

[dlitedrive]

Mine is just my name. :)

First part because I'm an 'Aussie' and 2nd part 'Gecko' because as a child I used to chase Gecko's and Water Dragons near the creek and catch them. Every once in a while I will create a huge yellow and white gecko out of flowers just for the hell of it. :D

[rocker grrrrrl]

mine because I am a true, pure rocker. A real rock and roll snob, if you will. lol

[anglnwhite]

Mine is a condensed version of the term "angel in white" sometimes used as a synonym for "nurse". My sister gave me that handle when I got my first computer in 2000.

[KnightRider]

I use this one most of the time on all games and sites, the kitt you can see from my signature line it comes from the show Knight Rider and the 1962 is my birth year. It was an easy screen name for me to remember.

[yokel steve]

Yokel is an English slang word for a farmer type from the west of England .... their normally a bit thick and drink lots of scrumpy Cider and are always pictured chewing on a piece of straw and steve is my RL name

[trina531]

My farm name Garden Goddess was a nick name a friend gave me years ago, because I have a green thumb and love to garden.
