Mine is actually the definition of my maiden name, but I'm married so I used Mrs. in front of it.

Mine is "Laughing" not because I'm saintly happy all the time, but because sometimes all you can do is laugh.....

Overwhelmed, overworked, unappreciated....yep, there goes that high pitch laugh.. ahaha ha ha

Seriously though, laughing is better than crying........

right?

sigh

I ended up with my handle because:

1. It is true. I have been a per diem RN for 10years.

2. All the cute names were taken.

3. I seem to lack the imagination required for a really cool screen name. Y'all have some good ones.

Mine comes from the Pink Floyd song "Have a Cigar".

"Oh by the way, which one's Pink?".

Flo., BSN, RN · Jun 23, 2011

Some people might think mine is short for Florence Nightengale, its not. It comes from the progressive insurance commercials. I think Flo is sooo funny.

Music in My Heart · Jun 23, 2011

I had a light hearted thread in AN Central where I admitted where mine came from. I think I brought it up once after too.
My screen name is a Dungeons&Dragons player I created and had a lot of fun with when I was a teen-ager. How I came up with the name of this Paladin was:
1. I had just watched Karate Kid the night before and couldn't get out of my head how Mr. Miahgi said Danny's name: "Danial-son".
2. A friend of mine, named Erik, had recently broken up a fight that was..........well, unfair............he was protecting the younger/smaller kid from the bully type situation.
So, when I created my Paladin character, I combined the two and came up with Eriksoln. I love it how people are under the impression my first name is Erik lol. Even had someone tell me they thought it was a play on Erikson and his stages.

Paladins rock... though I've always favored Evish Rangers myself.

Regarding Erik Erikson, I found it interesting that he changed his last name to Erikson...

Eh? You mean he pulled a Tony Dorsette and changed his name for the public? I did not know that. What was his orig. name?

chicookie, BSN, RN · Jun 23, 2011

Mine is actually from a book I read in middle school. There was a girl who would change her name every week. One week she was Chicookie. Its really not pronounced as chi-cookie, like everyone believes. Its actually Chu- ookie. She was really cool too. She was strong and didn't let anyone bring her down.The book said it was some African word that meant different from the rest.

My dumb ol middle school believed it. Come to find out it means nothing. Its not even a real word. -_____- But it's been my screen name since then so I use it for everything. Its really uncommon.

If you Google it, almost everything that comes up is me. LOL ....maybe I shouldn't have admitted that..... @_@

iNurse...well I DO :) it's a play on the Apple iEverything as I'm a long-time mac user and Apple love to stick the "i" before a lot of their products. The UK bit is just factual. I'm English.
