I got a late start on sound money management. Mine stands for not enough retirement savings.

Mine refers to nothing other than my love of flamingos. Seriously, I have all sorts of random pink flamingos around my house, so when I needed a name, that's what my gaze landed on and I went with it. It made more sense when I was living in Florida. Now that I'm in the Midwest, not so much, but I'm really un-creative, so I'm not about to spend time trying to think of something else  |

When I was in college, there was a guy on the swim team who wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed. The guys called him NARS, for Not A Rocket Scientist. You're much smarter than that, but the similarity always made me giggle.

Mine is pretty self explanatory. I am a woman from Iceland. I have used it on all boards I have been on. Yeah and I am not very creative.

I got the nickname Baby Bean given to me, so I've used that for a while. I ride motorcycles and used to go on trips with 20 or so bikers around France/Spain etc. Where I am from we are referred to as Jersey Beans and my uncle used to do the trips as well so when the guys found that out they started calling me Baby Bean from that point onwards and it just kinda stuck.
I changed it last year to Baby Fawkes after DW made me the cardboard cutout of Guy Fawkes for 11/5 (my avatar) and I just haven't got around to changing it again.

Mine's a smashing of two nicknames. One's from HS and college, and the other's from some people I partied with.

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. WOW. Now I'm hanging my head in shame for being a bar's name  But I do like dragonflies!! It's all good!  |

Wouldn't you like to know..  I remember the last time we did this. You are named after you pet Gekko. If that's wrong, it's some kind of lizard that I forgot the name. |

That's one fine looking lizard. I'm trying to peek at the lizard but the picture's too high! ![]() The V is mighty fine and suggests good things. |

I'm late to the game...
ATSiaRU = A Tiny Speck in a Ruthless Universe. I was tired of having a 'name' on line and wasn't feeling creative since I thought this would be a 'disposable' userid. 
The saying worked well for me as a tagline on a religious/atheist board I use to frequent. It was a relatively friendly board for discussing philosophy, asking "why do Y denomination people do X?" or beating various atheistic/theistic stereotypical "dead horses" alittle further into death.
The acronym got too cumbersome after a while - and so I became Tiny Speck, but then shortened it to Tiny which has grown on me. We're all just tiny specks (and eye blinks of time) in a very, very, very big Universe.
