So a lot of us have a story. Some stories are sad. Some are happy. Some are filled with tragedy, and others are filled with joy.
These are the stories of our usernames :)

Let's hear about how you got your username. I'll start.

I got my username from my 3rd most favorite bird, a Bluejay. The name has my favorite color and actually had a part of my name in it so that's what I chose. But Bluejay was already taken on most websites and forums so I just switched the words around to JayBlue and somehow it was available.

"Among the tales of sorrow and of ruin that come down to us from the darkness of those days, there are yet some that amid sorrow there is joy, and under shadow of death light that endures. And of these tales most fair still in the ears of elves is the tale of Baren and Luthien (aka Tinuviel); of their lives was made the Lay of Lethian, release from bondage, and that is the longest save one of the songs of old. But here it is told in fewer words and without song."

Sorry, I'm such a nerd. My user name is a J. R. R. Tolkien name, I was quoting from the beginning of her story. She's the absolute coolest female elf ever :D. Some people put Galadriel first, but I'm convinced that's Peter Jackson's fault because Galadriel in all her glory doesn't hold a candle to Luthien, the starlight, Tinuviel, the nightingale. It also has a very lovely sound to it...and before I got into chat I THOUGHT it was phonetic and easy to pronounce!! lol

my user name as I ironically told in my introduction post,was inspired by one,joseph and jojo being taken,and two my kid cousin tiffany at my church,for awhile she couldn't pronounce my name,joseph,so she would call me joefizz or joefish,she learned how to say it later but it was so cute and sooo fun to say that I figured I'd use that name as my username,and out of all my usernames on the internet,facebook,Twitter,etc it's my favorite now!!!!

Actually, 'WineRose' wasn't what I first wanted as my username. It was actually meant to be...'Blood Rose'. However, I changed my mind later on because you can't put spaces in usernames and I thought that name would be a little too...scary/provocative for a Christian forum. So there you go. Nothing to do with Jesus' miracle at all.

I was once a member of what used to be a large and popular forum for a video game franchise. I used many names that I didnt like before I finally settled on the username "Yeraza", which was taken from a video game very few people have played : p I was using that name at the time when I met the guy I was with in my old life, and he had the _Bats at the end of his username. So we decided that I would add it to my name, too. So I became Yeraza_Bats. I used that name up until I came to Christ, and a few months later or whatever I joined CC, and I used this name.

I dont even use the name anymore except for this site and with the friends I made on that forum, though. Im also still close friends with that guy too.

Resurrection is a work I like. I grew up in Iowa, and in those days the number of your county, listed alphabetically, was on the license plate of your car. Our number (Fayette County) was 33.

My nick also sort of chose me in elementary school. Us kids were playing and I dared one of the boys to say something to another boy. He did, and things escalated quickly from there.

The teacher appeared and there was a preliminary hearing immediately lol. The teacher, who was from up north some where, wasn't tuned in on our accents, and when the boys tried to blame me, correctly;), boy #1 told the teacher "Jean ( my given name is Jean) made me". But to the teacher this apparently sounded like "jennymae, jennie-Mae", cuz he said: "Jennie-Mae? Who's that?" From that day on I was Jennie-Mae lol.

My username is an old one I've used other places. I was just PrettyBelle on here but I have no access to my old email so I can't log into it.

Everyone is always telling me how pretty I am and I've always liked the name Belle so I mashed them together. It is also the name of a musical with Angela Landsbury which I've never seen.

I used it on a site I used to perform on called Second Life. Here is a clip of me singing there....well my avatar..not me.

In French the
meaning of the name Belle is: Fair. Lovely one. Sometimes used as an independent name associated with the French word belle, meaning beautiful.
