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

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.

The reason my username is KniftyKnitterGal, is because when I first started knitting I used knifty knitters, I still use them, but I also know how to knit and crochet. And of course the "gal" part is there because I am a girl.
