Where did your org name come from? Is it just a random combination ? Is it your real name? Tell us

My old screen name was picklesmcmillan.

I love pickles and the mcmillan came from my love of Irish surnames that began with "Mc".

I figured I'd use a Prince related name and well, I'm an expert lover!

mine is the initials to a username that i often use on forums, which is why I did not use it here because it makes me very uncomfortable when someone searches and find that breadcrumb trail even though in a way....it's sort of the reason i keep using it. imma have to think about that one.... but anywho.... seven is a nice holy number.... the combination of these things is also in a title and is also a chord.

The song being Wendy O Williams and the Plasmatics Opus in CM7

RIP Wendy O

My screen name stems from my old school Hip Hop days,when I was quite active in that scene. The Kool was a nod to people like Kool Keith, Kool DJ Herc, and other folks who just had to have a "Kool" before their name, and the "Eaze" part is because it was a combination of letters that looked good as a graffiti, was easy to write ( because some letters are more difficult in graffiti terms), and because my friends back then would sometimes come to me when they had problems or needed advice because I had this reputation of being laid back and relaxed even under stress and did things with ease and had a chilled, laid back, cool, mellow attitude and aura. And my real name starts with E, so that´s the story behind my screen name.

I thought about changing it lots of times but I´ve been on the org since the black and purple days, so actually a couple of years longer than my profile says, so I just kept it.

Sorry, autodraft repost.

I love chocolate... esp. chocolate cake!

I was sitting here trying to decide what to use, and I didn't want a Prince-related name because I figured all the good ones had been taken and I didn't want to duplicate.

So being brown-skinned, I thought, "I am the 'Chocolate 1'"...

*Then I found out there was already a "chocolate" on here, but she's cool.

I wanted something not Prince related. I am a fan of John McEnroe who is famous for his phrase "You cannot be serious!" so that was the inspiration.

Quite a creative choice IMO. And good that you stuck with it .

It leaves a lot of room for jokes too . Some people here think I am a man, I don't know if it is because of the name .

Both our orgnames are seriously kool .

My name is terrible. It's just my birth year (92) and the age I was when I came up with it (15). I wish I could change my name, but I don't want to have to get a new account..

My name is a combination of my favourite song (Adore) and the song (Cream) that got me hooked on Prince. I chose it as I knew it would be unique.

Dave cares.......ur name is great so do tell Tittypants....

I literally couldn't think of another name at the time and Armpit was the first thing that popped into my head so I went with it.

Mine comes from a time when many in my circle were referred to as "Dog" (...probably from about the same era Randy Jackson picked that annoying shit up, lol). "Yo Dogs" this, and "Yo Dogs" that. Then, as that trend grew in popularity, it became common to throw the first initial of a persons name in front, to distinguish them from the other "Dogs", lol. Thus, we came up with P-Dogz (...flipping the "s" to a "z" to be more unique), then shortened it to just PDogz when I registered here (...many moons, and many Internet screen-names, ago).

Robert was the name of my husband, who died in 2004...Robert love

...I wasn't thinking about balls at the time, no.

Its my name.. I wasnt very creative was i..

"Lammas" - Christianized form of Lughnassadh, an old Gaelic festival marking the homestretch of summer.

"Lammastide" - The time of year around Lammas, which happens to be a favorite of mine.

...But with this whole global warming thing, Lammastide (Aug. 1) is quickly becoming less and less tolerable. As homages to pagan festivals go, I may have to shift to Mabon (Autumn Equinox) in my old age.

My first name - Trina

My husband's surname - DELAGO

My birth month - 3
