Mine refers to my first name. The numbers are the years the girls were born.

Yeah, Swamp has gotten all of us curious If she was from Louisiana, I might get it, but I think she's from upstate NY. So College must have been interesting...just kidding...I think.

When I signed up on MSN I was very enamored with my brand new Lexus. 703 is my area code.

My original sn was bschoolbound- because I was heading to business school when I joined the old boards. I shortened it to bsbound for a while, because I had graduated and it no longer made a lot of sense. During the sn switch up last year when people were posting their sn as what they wanted in their life, I was deep in pregnancy and semi-serious flu. So I put pants, because I didnt even have the energy to put on pants at that point. So, pants...

Okay, well, I was going to add my sad little story about my screen name, but it appears Archie just stole the thread. It will derail quickly from here, I'm sure...

Snapdragons are my favorite flower. When I was little i used to love to pick the flowers off the stem and have dragon battles with them "eating" all the dahlias and forget-me-nots.

Mine comes from spending more hours than I will admit on a bar stool in a local lounge by the name of - yep you guessed it - "No Name Lounge" in Panama City. Fond memories of good times

Too lazy to think of something so when the missus got mad at me for keeping looking over her shoulder and even post under her name sometimes she just told me to create my own account. Since her moniker is "oped" I just went: what a hell! Mroped it is!

Artemis the Greek goddess twin of Apollo. In Rome, Diana. Usually depicted in her hunting clothing. She's also goddess of child birth.
I use 3044 because the number picked me years ago. I don't really recall how other than it kept coming up.
For holidays I'll add an additional name. For now New Leaf means I turned over a new leaf. Last Spring I felt like a new sprout from the earth and used Sprout.
The dragonfly is likeness of King of the dragonflies.

The initials - sesfw- is a combination of late DH's initials and mine.
We used a variation of this when we first got on the internet before he died.

Wouldn't you like to know.. A real life friend of mine acquired a pet did a FB "what should I name it?" thing. I couldn't explain why I thought Archie was appropriate.

Pam W.S.?
I had a different nic on the old MSN Games forum years ago.
Had a bad time with a stalker/troll on that board - scary stuff - so when I transitioned over to the old MSN Politics & Money Forum (where many of us here are from), this name was born.
My dad was from Scotland, and it just seemed like a good fit for me for a nickname. I've been using it for about 10 yrs now - even as my current screen nic on MSN Games.
I play backgammon, dominoes, hearts, etc there as Scottish_Lassie. I change it up a bit now and then for holidays, etc. .

It isn't a lizard, Archie is a bearded dragon.
Mine doesn't mean much Crone is an old woman and witch just so don't seem too nice. When internet was new too many mean asked if I was hot, I usually tell them only in flashes. I wanted to not be hit on, not be a princess or angel or any other sweet little thing. So mean old woman it is.

I studied gemology in college and I liked the metaphysical meaning to sugilte the gemstone, so Sugilite it is.

I was TeensTweensAndATot on the old msn boards, a reference to my kids and SAHM status. As the kids began jumping age categories, and I returned to working, I decided to change it up, but keep at least the teen part. Persuasion was added as a nod to my love of Austen, and seemed fitting as a job description both at home and at the library.
Hmm, I've got 9 more years until I have no more teens at home. That tot is now in double digits.

I was hanging on out a football forum and needed a name. I remembered a poster my old coach had over his desk, diagramming the tools of a coach, and my favorite section was pointing at his stomach in three places, "Guts", "Extra Guts", "More Guts Than You'll Ever Have".
Coach Xtra Guts didn't sound like it would work, but CoachBeergut was just amusing enough and memorable enough to work. I only do football 'coaching' over the phone these days, so I dropped the "Coach" part and there you go. The irony is that I'm not much of a beer drinker, although many assume I'm a lush.

In one of the Scooby Doo movies (Freddie Prinze, Sarah Michelle Gellar ones), Shaggy says to Scooby, "We're like two trippy peas in a far out pod", hence Trippypea!
