This is great -- I'm glad you asked the question, Tiffany!

My name really is Carol, and Petunia is one of my father's nicknames for me. Other possibilities were "Little Grill" and "Puddinhead," so I think I made the right choice...

Maybe its because I'm a...
Wow, this is really interesting.
My great-grandma was a little hard of hearing, and when my parents told her I was called 'Kasmyn',
she said 'catmint?? thats a strange name for a child'
'Not catmint, Kasmyn'
'ahh katherine, thats Much better'

It was taken though so i added a vowel and an underscore

I think mine is pretty obvious too! Since I identify my cats in my siggy, the username at least should be obvious! Actually, I thought that was pretty friendly too since when you click on the main logo for The Cat Site, it says It's about cats, cats, cats! Some of the people on this site have like ten plus cats so I guess it would be pretty hard for them to do that!
Despite my username, and other peoples, you can go look at their profile and usually learn something about them, as you can do with mine. (Although like some others, I have my age hidden.)

When I joined I wasn't sure of how others chose their names. I just chose my first name, Bonnie and since every other combo was chosen, my birth year
Not creative but it gets the job done!

My username is from a "Mississippi Gary" skit by The Kids in the Hall (a Canadian comedy troupe). I was watching it with friends years ago and the name stuck.

I'm surprised it's not more popular, but I guess most people think it's derogatory.

Two people in my life called me LorEye, my friend Julie and my 10th grade drama teacher. My name is Lori, Lori with an "i". So many of my friends called me Lor, and then Julie came along and started putting the "i" back in to it.

then in highschool out of the blue my drama teacher started calling me LorEye. He called me a lot of things though... I don't think he ever knew my real name.

Do you know that Spooky was the name of my very first cat that was my own cat - I was 6 years old and he was a tuxedo cat. Of course, back in the 50's it was "safe" and "normal" to allow cats to go outside. We lived in the country and one day my Spooky didn't come home. It took me a long time to understand that every time we were in the car and I saw a tuxedo cat in someone's yard that it wasn't my Spooky.

My username: lnbandcats means Ellyn "B"first initial of my last name and of course, cats.

I do think that there is a thread-quite long, where we all posted our user names and our real names!

I had 5 cats when I joined the site, so I din't pick a name from my cats. I chose adymarie as ady (pronounced like the letters A and D) has been my nickname sine I was a baby and marie is my middlename.

Adrienne is my real name - I've never been too fond of it.

I have dogs and cats but since I only had Miagi that is a cat at the time and since this is a cat site and not Tiger hence Miagi's_Mommy hope that made sense.

My username came from our first bobcat girl named Amber. Many new users think I am female by this name, but as most of you know, I am male and my name is John
