   Thanks WhiteRabbit for starting this: It is very interesting to see why/how we all choose. As for mine...obviously I love my Yorkies (Ernie-named after sesame street and Maggie May - the song lol). I also go by Huntress (because I am a hunter) and bonnie_holdem on yahoo and pogo, obviously because I like to play Texas Holdem.

   Me, simply, GM is the guided missile flag on the tank game BZFlag. I remember back then how I loved to snipe people with a GM on BoxyWars. This nickname have since been what I use on most sites. If GMMan is already taken, then I use GMMan_BZFlag (because my nick originated from BZFlag).

   Mine is simply my first name, but I don't use it as my username on most sites. I usually use Misty after my deceased pit bull or Shadawbi, which is a blend of a portion of each of mine, my husband's, & my daughter's first names.

   That's pretty, Dawn... Shadawbi. Reminds me of a person with special powers in a tribe of sorts. "Take this matter to the Shadawbi, and all shall be well in two sunrises." :)

   Mine was one of those that I had to pick real quick because the one I wanted was taken. (How dare they! lol!) I guess most people think of the drink, or cordial, and I'm not even sure what's in those, but it is a pretty word. I also like the word "mimosa," which is also a drink, but I know it as a beautiful pink lacy flower that blooms this time of the year around here. But wait... I didn't pick that, did I.

   I spent a lot of my younger days on or around sailboats. When not racing, they pull a dinghy, or dory behind them to get ashore when anchored. It's like a little, rounded sturdy rowboat. When docked, that little dory was mine. I would take out "me dory" and explore all the nooks and crannies of the inlet. So I called it "midori," and that's what popped into my mind at that moment.

   I like science, science fiction, comics and Chinese myths/culture (among MANY other things).

   So the first part of my nickname is from science fact and fiction, the second one from Chinese myth.

   The complete nickname looks like the name of a cosmic superhuman.

   Quantum also refers to the fact that when I am really into something (research, reading, writing, creating and even just walking out in Mother nature's garden), I am not exactly where my physical body is.

   Since I am in my third year of retirement, I can enjoy these voyages in the quantum folds.

   Nice, Quantum... Much like I experienced in "me dory." Ah, to be back in those carefree days of enlightened abandonment. But wait. It's time to start again now, isn't it. :)

   That sounds like an idyllic childhood midori, and the name is cool.

    I agree....it's nice to see this back on top.

    A lot of times I try to guess at why someone picked a certain name and I'm usually WAYYYYYYY off. Like I thought for sure GMMan was either because you liked chevys or because you worked for General Motors.....but I see I'm wrong again.

    Sometimes I think I should change my name to Buckleys servant instead of his mom....but that would be longer and it's already too long.

    Lol, wrabbit... my childhood was far from idyllic. By "younger," I meant in my 20s and such! Ah, I miss that sailin' crowd. But I brought a good crew-member from one of the boats home with me for keeps... my hubby! :)

    And Buckleysmom... "mom" is actually a very, very long word (and servant is in there!) so I think you have it all covered with those three letters. :)

    Midori.....Yep, you got that right! Guess I forgot.

    Hey I've been wanting to ask....in your profile you mention "dreamweaver".....do you make dream catchers? I have a friend who makes them and was just wondering.

    My dog growing up was named Dory. Named after my mother Dorothy. A miniature poodle. If I asked your hubby, midori, would he say that you're that cute? :)

    Lol, watcher... sometimes he calls me "poodlehead" because of my curly blonde hair. I think it more resembles a tumbleweed. In flight. :D But most often he just calls me "Wacky."

    >BK... gee, I forgot I put that there. No, I don't make dreamcatchers, but I do have one hanging in my bedroom window, and if it's faced the wrong way, look out. But I used to weave a lot on a hand-made loom, and my weavings were like dreams, so I guess I was thinking of that. Also used to love to work with jute and beads and such... I should get back into all that neat stuff now that my daughter is in college, and become a hippie again. *&;-)

    :D, midori. Oh well, it sounds like your "poor" hubby could have found a lot worse things to drive him crazy.

    Hey, I just had a weird daydream about my poodle talking crazy talk to me and it's hair had changed from white to blonde. ??? You'd better turn that dreamcatcher around! I think it's projecting!
