How do you select your nickname or username while registering on sites or forums like mylot? Is it a name you like or is it according to your personality or it is of your loved one or you just give a name that comes to your mind?

I guess my user ID says it all. I was a goth back in the late 70's and I still am today, just a lot older :-)

Me - My picture
Hi there Arundhti1! I usually use nanayangel in the forums that I am joining. Nanay is a Tagalog word which means "mother" and that's what my son calls me. Angel is my real nickname. That's short for Angelica.

I used to use a nick name but not so much anymore. I use my name whenever possible. When you start making waves in the internet ocean as I occasionally do, your handle is your brand and it doesn't help to be known by a dozen different names.

I use the same one for almost everything. I'm a reinactor. Uath the 13th was my birthday on the old Gealic callendar.

I have no idea how it came to me. Maybe I was thinking of those Ricola cough-drops (remember them?) and I thought Marcola rhymes with it, so why not? I could've done better. I've got a lot of nicknames I gave myself.

I pick something that sounds girly since I'm a woman, the I would add up numbers after a nickname. For mylot, I just put NCgirl, because I'm from NC. I really can't think of anything.

Mine's pretty simple as well. Beki because it's my name and 710 because I was born on the 7th October. I use this username on most forums, normally because I can remember it and it's not normally taken by anyone else!

I'll generally use the same nickname for every site or whatever i sign up for. amymelissa is my first & middle name. I'll never use my surname online as that's just silly. Plus, amymelissa is what I also use as my pen name.
