What does your login nickname mean to you?

Published

I've seen so many different login names and have often wondered why people have come up with some of the crazy nicknames they have. Is it just something to put down; or, is it something that means a lot to them or describes them to a "t"?

Ok, I'll go first. The month I was born, my parents had a cat who had a litter of Maine coon cats. They kept one kitten and decided to call him TC. Why, you ask? Because those two letters could represent a vast variety of nicknames based on the type of day or attitude this kitty would have.

At times, my parents would call him Terrific Cat, Tremendous Cat, Tricky Cat, Time-consuming Cat. Others were not so endearing such as; Terrible Cat, Tyrannical Cat, Taunting Cat...etc. You get my drift.

Anyway, you wonder where I get my nickname based on this info?

You see, when I decided to go into nursing, my husband smiled and raised his eyebrows and said, "Hmmm...Naughty Nurse Nikki, eh?" I quickly shot him a look and said, "Why not Nice Nurse Nikki?" What ensued over the course of years in nursing school was much like what my cat TC had experienced. I've been referred to as Naughty Nurse Nikki, Nice Nurse Nikki, Nasty Nurse Nikki, Nimble Nurse Nikki, Notorious Nurse Nikki, Noble Nurse Nikki, Needy Nurse Nikki, Neurotic Nurse Nikki, Newbie Nurse Nikki, and now that I work Nights...I am Noc Nurse Nikki.

So take the nickname you choose, and run with it! That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

p.s. "...but ya doesn't have to call me johnson!";)

Ok, apnea, you've literally got me in STITCHES! LMAO! I love your breathtaking view!

Mine is pretty boring - JHU for where I went to nursing school, and RN because I would tattoo it on my forehead if I could, I just love saying it ;)

My faithful companion Dorky who constantly monitors my time on the computer. Either she plunks herself down in my lap or stretches across my arm as I'm attempting to answer a post. Even though the avatar isnt a picture of her, it might as well be since there is no discernable difference.

Thanks to all who shared there nicknames and backgrounds to them! :idea:

Yes, I'm sure this thread has gone around before, but I'm rather new to this board and did not have the opportunity to view said threads.

Besides, there are a lot of new people, like me, who have not seen those threads as well! :welcome:

Now we are current and getting up to speed....kinda like our first year of nursing, eh? :typing

mine is after my all time favorite song ever. it's an allman brothers tune (soul shine) and always lifts my spirits when i hear it. it's very soulful.

"when you can't find the light that guides you on a cloudy day,

when the stars ain't shinin' bright and you feel like you've lost your way,

when those candle lights of home, burn so very far away,

you've gotta let your soul shine, just like my daddy use to say,

he use to say soul shine is better than sunshine,

better than moonshine,

and d*mn sure better than the rain,

many people don't mind, we all feel this way sometimes,

you've gotta let your soul shine, shine 'till the break of day."

Roy Fokker comes from the name of the swashbuckling fighter pilot Roy Fokker of "Macross" fame.

Incidentally, Roy was my nickname in school.

Bonus: The whole Gaylord Focker thing I guess :rolleyes:

cheers,
