What is the reason behind everyone's username?

Hi! I was just curious about why everyone's user name is called what it was called. I called myself knittingymnast because I'm a gymnast and I knit. Ha.

Just wondering because I see usernames all the time that don't make ANY sense to me. LOL

Well, CarolinaGirl is probably a give away! I am from South Carolina! I love the Carolina's -the beaches, mountains and lakes!

My daughter's names are Abigail and Emily... so I just combined them.

Well, when I joined I had one grandson named Thomas (the redhead in the avatar.) His other grandma is called Nana, which was my choice too, so to keep from confusion, I had to do something different. My given name is Modonna (pronounced the same as Madonna,) I go by Donna (you can see why!) so I combined Nana and Donna and the grandsons call me Nonny. So, at the time I was Nonny to T (Thomas) I guess I should be nonny2tnj now, which would be Nonny to T (Thomas) and J (Jackson) !

Oh and btw, cool question. I always wonder how people pick their usernames

scout is the main character in to kill a mockingbird. one of my favorite books. scout is one of my favorite characters out of all the books i have read. 52 is just a random number to assure that no one else had the same screen name. I use this in other boards as well.

I'm a huge fan of the book "To kill a mockingbird" too, scout. Excellent choice!

My user name is boring.

Iza is just a nickname. My first name is Isabelle.

Mine came about when I had my Halloween website, www.everydayshalloween.com. I wanted a Halloween-ish name, but, nothing overly used so I asked hubby to help me think up a name. He suggested the name Demonica (there's a band he used to listen to, The Dwarves, who had a song titled "Demonica") and I loved the name; I thought it was perfect for a "webmistress" of a Halloween site! I used Demonica as my SN on all the Halloween related forums and such I joined to help get my name and site out there...Well, the name just stuck...I had other SN's on other forums, but, I kept forgetting them so I decided I'd just stick with Demonica for everything.

I always think of TKAM whenever I see your screenname... how nice to know that's what you were thinking of too.
