What does your Mylot user name mean?

India
June 7, 2008 5:59am CST
Some of the Mylot user names are so interesting, while I don't get the meaning of a few others. I will be very happy if you tell me what your Mylot user name means. I called myself positiveminded1977 because I felt that I had to develop a more positive outlook toward life and see the brighter side of things. I felt I was a bit lacking there. :) 1977 is the year in which I was born. Calling myself positiveminded1977 has reminded me of my little goal, and I have become more positive minded now. So what about your user name? Why do you call yourself what you do?

Mine has no meaning at all. It was just something meaningless and anonymous that I came up with when I needed a user name.

I thought it was something to do with "green thumb" because you have a garden. :) Cheers!

Well, the answer is not that bad. ;) Moo made me think of a nice brown and white cow grazing in a big green field. I dunno why I got that imagery. It could be because my English teacher taught me that "cows moo" :) Cheers!

My user name goes back a ways. Back in 6th grade I "liked" this kid named Guy. So my really good friend put my name (Marylou) and his name togehter and that is how I got magrylouyu. I never even talk to the kid before But after 10 years later I have grown to love the Screen name. I use it for just about everything these days. I'm just too lazy to think of something different.

LOL, it is a really tough spelling! For a long time, I did not dare to type it out while responding to your discussion.

lol I know alot of people usually ask me, "what kind of screen name is that?!" My family and friends are just used to it now. I know it can be difficult to spell out. I dont blame you for not wanting to type it out.

Great choice and fantastic reasoning behind your nick Positiveminded! My nick was given to me by a very good friend many many years ago, sorta tongue in cheek at that. As there is really nothing angelic or whispering about me :)) He liked the sound of my voice very much and hated the nick I was using at the time. My Av he designed for me as well and it stands for " I love".

positiveminded_ I was thinking about this very question last night. What do avatar names reveal or mean to a person? Your name is indeed a good reminder to maintain a healthy attitude in life. So, anawar is an abbreviation of my first and last name combined. A friend came up with the name and I liked it immediately.

Phoenix is a name I started to use online for various things a couple of years ago. I thought of the name because I am kind of like a phoenix in some ways. I had hard times, my life burned down, and I rose from the ashes a new, different person. The 25 is for my age right now.

I just choose it randomly. First three letter are shorter version of my real name i.e Deepak and suffixed numbers were selected randomly. Later on I came to know that while selecting a screen name, members apply their mind and come out with some special and catchy names. At this point of time, I do not have choice, I am recognised by this name only, so I would continue with it. Yours appear to be very 'positive' and beautiful selection.

I see you are no longer commenting in this discussion, but I will answer it anyway. My two grown kids are living with my sister in the DC area while I am staying up in my brothers 'extra' house in the mountains of Virginia. My kids and I were wanting to play online scrabble so that we could feel like we were together, hehehe, and they were harassing me mercilessly to hurry up and choose a username. I was frantically looking around my room for an idea when my eyes landed on the intricately carved Buddha-head candle I had sitting on my desk, with a packet of Zigzag rolling papers laying in front of it. And my username was born. My kids got a good laugh over it because they (and I) thought it was the perfect name for me since when I smoke any ganja I tend to sit around in Lotus pose spouting spiritual profundities, hehehe. I realize you probably don't smoke any ganja, neither do my kids, and I hope you don't hold it against me anymore than either of them do, because I really like you a lot! One more thing. I think that was a very good idea you had with your username, and I have a similar situation! I have a scrabble program on my computer and spend a lot of time playing 'Professor Maven', hehehe. The name I use there is 'MyHero' because I felt I needed to cultivate a more positive view of myself, and that name was to remind me of how I wanted to see myself! It works too!

The house in the mountains of Virginia sound great. I somehow think the mountains are God's best creation. I live in the midst of hills and it is simply great. :) At first, when I saw your username, I thought you were a Buddhist. It was great reading the story of zigzagbuddha. :) Cheers and happy mylotting

Yeah, I think a lot of people think I am a Buddhist because of that, and I really don't mind too much, but I might be giving Buddhism a bad name the way I sometimes run around here on MyLot ranting about Christianity! Hehehe. I remember that you live in the hills from your discussion on cloud formations. I love looking at rolling green hills in the distance! Although I don't think they would be any easier for me to ride my bike over than these mountains!

My user name is Desirachh. Desi+rachh, desi means belonging to a countryside i.e. a rural area and rachh means a pot. This is the word of Haryanavi language, a local language of Haryana State in India. This word is used for a person whose activities are like that of an illeterate person. Haryana was considered to be less literate state and I belong to Haryana. So I have chosen my name as Desirachh. Do you liked it?
