I've seen some pretty interresting screen names here on MyLot. I would love to ask everyone of you what your name means? How did you get it? If it's too personal, then just say that. I'm sure we're going to hear some neat stories on this one!!

Very cool idea!! Your name sounds like a PopStar name! I lie it! Thanks for sharing. So everyone play Ckyera's name game. Take the last three letters of your spouse, boy/girlfriend... and the first three of yours. What name did you come up with? Mine: lenlin

I would love to say that I chose a name with some great meaning but nope. Mine is the name of my website and just makes it a little easier with referrals when I put the link to mylot on my site.

Well that makes sense! I understand consistency is what gets referrals. If your name is always the same, then your up and downline are familiar with you! Great idea!

nanayangel - my MU character named nanayangel
Hi there Bear Ballew!My Mylot name, "Nanayangel" came from two words, "Nanay" and "Angel". Nanay is a Tagalog word which means mother, and I am a mother and the second word, Angel, is my nickname in real life. I just put them together and I also use it as screen name on other sites and online games that I play.

Good topic my dear friend, Basically my screen name is combination of my pet name and my real name. And I have been using this screen name almost on maximum of the sites I have joined and since almost more than 10 years. Infact many of my friends have started calling me with this name only. I have thought a lot before coming up with this name and now I really feel happy that even after a long time I have sticked to the same and will continue with it.

My user name here is my pet name. Mimpi is my pet name and 1911 is my date of birth. So it came quite naturally and obviously. I didn't think much about it before signing up. Mimpi means dreams. What does your username mean?

Mimpi is a cute name. I've never heard anything like it. My username.... well, it is a spinoff on Balloo the bear from Jungle Book. Not breaking any copyright laws by spelling it differently. That movie was on when my first Child was born! No joke. :*) Thanks for responding and asking! Bear

People around me call me chookie. The numbers are a year. And what a year it was for me. I could have even used another name. One of my children calls me mumma chook. Mumma chook is the name I use on an online game I play.

I took my old email address name and used it for mylot. I had that email address so long ago that I can't remember how I came up with it! I do remember I loved the song "taste of ink" back then. I'm sure that had something to do with it.

Ok. So how do you pronounce your name? Me?? Well, it's sentimental really. It is for the bear Balloo on junglebook, just spelled differently. That movie was playing when my first Child was born. Thanks for asking!

The first three letter "Liz" comes from my name, then I add "zrr" =D I don't know really what it means, I guess it's self-explanatory.

I've been using the user name for sometime now and well just decided to use it all the same here in mylot. It's a shorten version of my nick name; kinchai I took the latter half chai and added me so in as sense my name says chai me, like I'm chai so that's how it goes.. ^_^

It isn't too personal, but some may feel offended so I'll keep it for myself or I can lie about it... :D

That's an interesting question! My answer won't be as interesting though! I know my screenname makes some people go "Eeks! Does he really mean it?" But it's obviously nothing like that. Thing is, until about a year or so, I was an avid multiplayer game freak. Counter-Strike, Dota AllStars, Quake, Ragnarock.....most of them all. In these, you're required to use usernames and you're pitched against other players. So to put up the 'devilish potrayal' of ourselves, we used names like these. I guess, I still suffer the hangover of the gaming addiction! And it's nice to know about yours :-)

when i started getting online, and have joined a chat, i was trying to think of a name that would suit me, my nickname was kinda lame, and i dont want to use my real name online, so what i did is i scrambled all the letters of my name and nickname... and i came up with this username, this is the username i use since then ... =)
