I've noticed some pretty interesting ones, and I'm just curious why you chose the one you did..


I had no particular reason myself: the name just popped into my head when I was trying to choose one, and that's what I went with.

Here and there
Green Bunny is the name of my favorite stuffed animal as a young child. He's a green bunny.
I've had him since birth, and he was my best friend when I was really little.

When I was 8, my dog Lady was apparently jealous of him and my sister's favorite stuffed animal. She took them both out out our bed while we were sleeping, brought them to another room, and tore Green Bunny up. She hadn't gotten to Valentine Bear when she was discovered by my father. That morning sucked.

His face was mostly destroyed and he lost stuffing. Keep in mind he's not very big. Never found his eye or nose. He went into a box which I said was a "hospital bed" because he was in a "coma". I vowed to fix him. My sister insisted the box was a coffin.

He stayed there for the next 12 years, until I realized that with my weaving abilities I now had the skills to fix him. So after a long quest for similar materials (yarn, nose, and eye), I was able to make him whole again. (And so he finally came out of his "coma".
)

I guess the whole thing is a little goofy, but when I was 8, I made a promise to him, and while he isn't technically real (as in alive), I wasn't going to break it.

So, my username is in honor of him.

It's part of my first name with part of my last name. I use it all over the place on the net because it is easy to remember and I've never once had it denied because it was being used by someone else.

Yep, I'm really imaginative!

When I first registered on something on the net, I wanted Tigger in memory of my cat Tigger, who I had just lost, but it is a very common name, so MSN suggested linking it to a hobby, which is reading, hence Booktigger - and i use it on everything now.

I chose mine as a rememberance to my soul mate kitty, Spooky. Her nickname was Pookie-poo. This is my main username, and the only one I use for forums. I have a different one (because this was already taken) for my e-Bay account.

Well, it sounds easy enough but there was a very large fight between the two cats about whose name would be listed first. Persi said he was male and that naturally he should be first. This made Alley extremely angry. But finally, Persi was listed first just beause he was the first cat in this household. But Alley was still mad because she is older and thought she should have deference.

Well I have 4 dogs and since this is a cat site I chose Miagi's_Mommy since I only had Miagi at the time before we got Tiger about a few months later after I joined.

A few years back I was looking for information and had to think fast on my toes. I was tired of my other usersname so crazyforinfo was born.

Mine is my name. I use this username on everything, the first time I registered for something I tried "bnwalker" but it was taken so I just added a "2" at the end... I've used it ever since.

I used my name and my fiance's name, in case he decided to come on and post or something as well. (We are jointly registered on a fish forum as well, where we both post. Him more than myself, and vise versa here. Although I don't think he's posted before, just read a few replies people have given when our kittens were sick or eating stuff they shouldnt.)

I had intended on being here for informative purposes only, until I found the cat lounge, and discovered how great this site really is
