My screen name here at myLot is one that I have used for years. Shelly is my first name and Ann is my middle name. I started using Shellyann when I was 36 years old. That is how I come up with Shellyann36. I have used this name online every since. I know some people like to use different names for different sites but that just confuses me. So I stick with one name for almost every site (with the exception of sites that want more). How about you? How did you come up with your screen name? Logo created by me at glowtxt

I use TexanTornado, cause I am from Texas hence Texan, and the Tornado basically just for the fun of it.

When I joined Gather in 2011 I was still a "virgin" to the world of internet writing, so when they asked me to choose an ID I asked what it meant and was told it was a nickname. I came up with Rebel because that was my first dogs name, then I chose Ann so people would know I was female, then I found out I wasn't the only one using that handle so I eventually added 1949, my birth year.

I was campInsanity on that other site because I needed a new email to use for Paypal..NO One would help me make a change so I deleted the content of the PaintsOnSlate on that other site but when I came here I used it. I used the Paints for years, that other site was the only different one and you know why its my name, because I paint on slate

As you will see I am using 2 different names at present, one username and one display name, which is a fortunate feature to be allowed at Mylot. Mylot was the first site that I used and I adopted the name Asylum because I consider my home to be my own personal Asylum. After moving to another site some years back I began using Koalemos, which certainly suits me much better. Koalemos was the Greek God of Stupidity and I have been a devoted follower of his throughout my life. When I returned to Mylot I realised that many people who knew me from other sites would not recognise Asylum, so I took advantage of using the option to use a display name as well.

My screen name here in myLot was among the first names I used online. It is my zoidac sign. But as of now, I uses different names because most often, this name is already taken when I joined a site.

I wrote about how I became Abby Greenhill. It's funny but people who know my 'real name' still refer to me as Abby!

My name is Marilyn but have been called Marilynda since birth and I've always used this name. Christmas is my birthday and that's where the 1225 comes from. I didn't want to change my avatar since most people recognize me from that coffee cup
