How did you pick your "name" for myLot? Randomly..or with meaning?

I'm sure it's all been told before..but I am truly interested in why people pick their "title, name, moniker" for their internet experiences...I'll start by telling you that in pharmacy ( my profession) Rx stands for prescription...therefore my name here at myLot means "prescription for life"...and for me that prescription means live every minute of it with as much verve as possible...laugh as much as you can and love with every cell in your body... Now if you will indulge me...Where did your "myLot name" originate? Share won't you?

Uath the 13th is my birthday on the old gaelic callendar. I use it for all my names for sites & emails. Uath is also the name I use for the reinactment groups I'm with.

That actually depends on which year you'd look. The calendar has shifted a bit since then.

The word which i pick for mylot's name is zhwbeast.The first three letter has no meaning,which is just the shorter of my realy name in the world.And the qthers of the word "zhwbeast" -- beast is my favorit word,because I hope me could face the problem and hardness like one of the beast that never give up.What's more is thatI'd like have the beast's viqour in life's business. Another side,I wish my tender were not to be rude as a beast

So you wish for the "best beastly" qualities...Well I think you can have all of that if you truly are committed to attacking life's problems with strength and not forgetting to have the understanding,softer side ready to use at the same time !!

Well, mine? I have no other names to think of.. Actually I'm using this name on my other email add. Well its more easy to remember, the fact that I'm using same password. (lol) I find it also kinda cool - crashing metals. Sometimes I wrote it this way M-crash 18 which so happens that my name starts with letter M. Sort of that... Hope you like it though... Regards, m-crasher18

my name is beckie but "beckie" is almost always taken on sites before I get there. I dislike putting numbers in my screen names, so I just stretched out the e's. pronunciation optional. :P

My Nickname is a name I have been using for a little over 3 yrs online. I am a graphic designer and if you see StrawberryKisses watermarked into picutes or email backgrounds you know I created it. It was just a name I picked out one day for a dating site LOL and I decided to use it for everything. I even have the tattoo and unless someone gets a copy of mine and takes it in with them no one will get this tattoo. My artist threw any copies he had out so that it could not be recreated. anyhoo we were talkin about nicknames LOL well thats where mine came from. Hugs

I didn't know that Rx stands for prescription in the pharmacy world, so thanks for that insight! I understand the meaning of your name now rx4life, and I think it's great. (I have often wondered how you chose your name). Mine is quite simple - my nickname as a child was Abbey, and 19 is the day of my birth (wish it was my age, lol!)

I really should correct it to have a capital R..then it might be easier to figure..I always wanted to be an Abbey...I had a great friend when I was in grade school..and she pretended to change my name..she called me Abbey..and I always wish it would have stuck..since my real name is Linda...and that is so common with people my age...and by the way...I finished my 5 mile walk tonight...my birthday is the 22nd...I wonder if I would want to be that young again...maybe mid thirties...I loved that age...but it's all a state of mind...( except those pains!!! LOL)

Congratulations on finishing your 5 mile walk! Strange that you should want to be called Abbey. I got that name because when I tried to say my name Barbara, it came out sounding like Abbey - so it stuck! However, when I was 10 I refused to be called that name - I insisted on using my proper name of Barbara. Now I am older, I like my childhood name, and seem to be using it more and more. Strange how we change, huh?

arkaf had been my name for quite a long time. It came from a phase in my life that I needed to feel we were a family, a team. THus it is nothing more than the initial of all four of us ( me, hubby and kids with an "f" added standing for family. I've had other names , some that I use more frequently than others, but arkaf still is the main one I use.

It's a great origin..and a nice name...with beautiful meaning!!! I like it alot..my friend's screen name is similar origin..in order to cover her family she used each first initial, then laughed at what she saw!!!..feastin...she has never thought about it!!! so it looks like a slang version of feasting!!! ( which they love to throw huge dinnner parties so it fits!)

My name for mylot is simply just my nickname. My name is Beth and my half sister and mom would always call me bethyboo every since I was little. It just struck and it seems like a lot of my friends and other family members started calling me that. I just thought it would be a cute screen name also.

I'm not sure if they let us change it or not..they probably would but you might lose your "status"...myLot should be able to tell you that...thanks for the kudos on my name...it just came naturally since I've been in pharmacy for over 25 years and my outlook on life has been formed through many dark and light experiences in life!!! I pray that you are finding some peace in your life..I will talk about that on another post..but know you are in my heart and on my mind...I'm sending good thoughts and light your way...and I'm here to listen...

Well it comes from a site where i signed up for but i made it different. So it's not the same,but it also was because i turned into believe and people are always talking about spreading the word and i thouhgt moreabout people beeing eyewitnesses so that's where my name comes from and i also used this as my e-mail name. So in fact i'm an eyewitness from the work God does in our lifes.

My husband and I have been working to create a fantasy world. In this world he is Falon and I am Aiden and together we work on writing down the histories and secrets of Taur (the world) in the Tower which is the record house. All our writing currently goes up on our website Falon of the Tower, which is set up as a blog and has the stories going there in bite size chunks. Most of my online names are Aiden or Aidenofthetower. I have a few that are Freedom2011 and that is because we are working hard to have both of us stay home and work together as a family in 2011.

When I first came upon your screen name I wondered if it was rooted in a fantasy world...and for once I was right!! What a great plan to be able to work toward that 2011 goal!!!! Best of luck with that!

"Prescription for life"... very cool! Mine is a contraction of the name on my driver's license (Catresea Ann) with an extra a at the end as a tribute to my late grandmother who was named Anna. I also love cats:-) I've been using CatAnna online for years and years, in online communities and my personal website. Ppl sometimes call me Anna (assuming I'm a person named Anna who likes cats) which is actually fine with me as it feels like a tiny tap on the shoulder from my grandmother. Offline, I'm usually just called Cat.
