One more time...What's the screen name? or How do you say THAT?

Ponine · 03-16-2005, 11:46 AM

I had to start this thread again... why?
Because this weekend a few things were made clear to me again:
1) we have new blood around these parts
2) Some of us, like me, dont have the easiest screen names
3) People are a tad too shy to ask how to say someone elses name.

So.. do you have a screen name that people might not understand? That they might not know how to pronounce?
Repeat the story here folks...

Me? I'm Ponine.
It's said Poe-knee-n Two sylables (Not Poe-nine)
Its short for Eponine also verbalized as above but with the Eh sound at the start.
Why is it said that way? No idea.. but thats how it is sang over and over again in Les Miserables.

Why is that my name? Short version. Its a character of unrequited love, and never ending devotion. Thats me at the very core.

Bar Top Dancer

Why? A few reasons. 1) I moved out of HB so I could no longer be HB Tigger Fan 2) I got tired of being HB Tigger Fan and 3) I found a new love, dancing on bars/tables/benches for fun. I'm really shy in person and this releases my inner-fun.

I'm thinking about becomming J. Rabbit.

That alone was a good enough reason to start this thread.. I didnt know of your personality switch.
Greetings!

<----I'm AllyOfTheDolls! Formerly Allysen1Derland & AllyKat.

I absolutely love the movie, Valley Of The Dolls. Thus, a screenname was born!

However, I've been going by just "Ally" ever since I began posting way back when. I have never, ever used my screenname. I'm not sure why. I think screennames are fun & I sometimes will unintentionally refer to someone in real life by their online moniker rather then their actual first name. It becomes an unconscious habit!

My new screenname should be, "I'mDyingToMeetPonineInPersonAndAmSoSadThatWeAlway sMissEachOther!"

That's a mouthful! So, I'll just tell Ponine mega snaps on this very cool Thread

and I hope we get to meet each other soon!

I coach high school basketball at a school with the initials SCA and our mascot is an eagle. My name is properly pronounced S.C.A. Eagles.

I'm rather sick of signing up with Cadaverous Pallor. Didn't use it at MiceChat. I'm waiting for someone else to use it there and let other people think it's me. To that future person: Please, don't be an ass.

At Doombuggies.com's board they have a Cadaverous Pallor and a Ghoulish Delight. Both guys, in their 20's I think, unrelated to each other. Weirdness.

I figure, this will probably be the last Disney board I sign up with, so it's not a worry anyway. I do dig going by "CP" in person. Real names are so hard to remember - you don't see them in front of you over and over.

mousepod · 03-16-2005, 12:59 PM

MousePod is my given name.

But seriously, I anticipated that I was going to do a bunch of these radio show thingies and would be bugging a bunch of message board people to get involved and I didn't want to always have to explain, "yeah, I'm Jesse... the MousePod guy... my screen name is OswaldRabbitEars" (or whatever)

I've lurked for so long under different names, but it's nice to have an ID... but you can call me Jesse.

I'm Gn2Dlnd.
As in, "You've just won the Super Bowl! What are you going to do now?"
Of course, I'll probably never win the Super Bowl, so,
"You've just washed the dishes! What are you going to do now?"
Or, "You've just baked 1500 ThinKrisps™! What are you going to do now?"
Or even, "You've just got to stop screwing around and get a real job if you want to keep living here! What are you going to do now?"
I'm going to Disneyland! Toot!

MoonLiner, pronounced "Moon Liner" not "Luxury Yatch".

I signed onto my first Disney themed board under the very creative "Steve0." Note that's Steve "Zero" not "Oh". I was just doing research for a WDW trip and not really planning to stay but you all dragged me in. When it came time to select a real screen name, I quickly went with MoonLiner. My Grandfather was a contract engineer to Disney back in the 50's and was the person who designed the original Moon Liner that stood in the park. I still have one of the hand carved wooden models he made of it.
