Mom of Franz, is pretty obvious and I've probably explained this before but I named Franz after one of my favorite composers/pianists, Hungarian, Franz Liszt. When I first saw his pic on petfinders he reminded me of a baby grand piano, because he is black and white (tuxedo/Maine Coon). His petfinders name was KERMIT...I could not have that, nor could I name him Ludwig, after Beethoven, my favorite composer...Ludwig, would just be too heavy for a cat! Franz seems to fit because he is such a dignified gentleman.

Since I thought the name was typed in each time, I wanted one short and easy to remember. I wanted to be ____'s mom but thought "Beau's mom" was too short. However, using his registered name or the names of all cats I've had seemed too long. Felicia's name was neither too long or short; so I decided on Felicia's Mom.
I am on another message board too, and use Felicia's Mom on each of them.

I have used huggles as my screen name for everything for many years - and so I didnt even think of using anything else...
when my husband and I had been dating for a year or so he bought me this huge huge teddybear and we called it huggles cause you could give it the best hugs!!!
so I guess that sort of stuck - actually now I think of it - it really is a silly name

WellingtonCats- because I live in Wellington(The capital of NZ) and I love cats!

I can't use my nick/handle on this board, it might be considered offensive.
Hubby usually calls me honey and the one day he started calling me b-sh#*. I couldn't stop laughing and most places that is my handle, but sometimes it is not received in the spirit it was intended and people get very unhappy with me. So now I stick to plain and simple: first name and first letter of surname.

I spent 4 years in South Africa as a child and learnt Afrikaans and Zulu. I was deeply struck by the land, the people and the politics. Kumbulu means 'Remember' in Zulu.

The name of my new kitten is called...ROMEO!
Although shes female we have stook to the name.The main reason being my partner and i run our own karaoke buisness called Nosh&Decks after posh&Becks.Im nosh as i like food and Decks is my partner as he does the decks part of the buisness.
I wanted to keep a name in the buisness so i thought of something to go with posh and becks.I didnt like Brooklyn so i chose Romeo as its also a name to do with love.
Tell me what you guys think,good or bad.

That's my sister-in-law's name! Although she is Kasia for short. Are you Polish by chance?
I chose my name because it's what I've been called in the web design community forever. My name is Diana-Marie and my first web development company was called DiMa Design (pronounced Dee-Mah). Now we are Flying Tiger Web Design, but still I'm called DiMa. It's easier to write and say than Diana-Marie, I guess. Even when I go to web design conferences it's on my name tag already and on the schedules, tooNobody knows me by Diana-Marie anymore, but everybody in the Macromedia community knows who DiMa is! My reputation proceeds me...uh oh.
Mom of Many.....totally uncreative and totally self-explanatory......
Kinda simple--I'm crazy about kittens! Oh, and if you see that handle on any other cat, sewing or Christian forum, yell, 'cause its probably me !
The name serena_p is one I've been using since high school. Serena comes from my love of the Japanese anime Sailor Moon. (Serena is the name of the main character.) The p stands for my real name, which is Pamela.
Well I love grey kittens...
But I joined another cat message board first and someone else (Evidently not someone very active if at all) already had GreyKittenLove so I changed it to GrayKittenLove.
I normally choose sunflower as my nickname but it was taken here. My friend used that as my nickname when he had a crush on me and wanted to talk about me in front of me. Dork.
So I chose sensgirl because my favourite hockey team is the Ottawa Senators. Senators is too long so its Sens. Oh and I'm a girl.
For some reason, my dutch grandparents couldn't spell 'Jamie'. On every card or letter I ever got from them, my name was spelled 'Jeamy', with two dots above the 'y'. When the internet came along, it seemed like a good fit, since I was already used to seeing it in print.
It's kind of strange, because they never had any trouble spelling my brothers' names.

Mark Kumpf is really Mark Thomas Kumpf. Welcome to the world of the totally obvious. I got the last part from my parents and the first part from my parents. My middle name (Thomas) I got from my dad.
When I joined TCS it was in response to a specific issue (See I don't even mention the issue anymore Hissy!). Rather than use a handle or nickname I figured the best way to present myself was as... myself. In other places I am dogcop481 or mdog. Not here. And that "guest" thing got real old real quick. I hated having to only stand outside and watch and not be able to participate.
