Pippy-Pops is what I call Pippin and because I found this site while looking up some advice, I used his name!

Also, most of my usernames are based on the nick names I give pippin!

The passwords to all my usernames are after a cockateil I used to have!!

Original or what?

I've always seen the internet as Wonderland. It's a place where you can see a caterpillar smoking a hookah and not really think twice about it. So that's why I chose lookingglass.

MIne is from my hobby of cutting gems and making jewelry.

Have to credit my niece for thinking it up though.

I had a penpal in high school who was from South Korea, and she gave me the nickname Mirinae (I believe the word is actually several words put together, but I don't speak Korean and don't want to horribly maul it); she told me the name meant "milky way." I thought it sounded pretty and stuck with it, although for all I know my user name actually means "ignorant white chick who can't be bothered to learn a third language."


I use "Mirinae" on most websites, unless I want to be really anonymous and make a name up on the fly.

I wanted to show that my cats are my babies. I thought it would be too long if I used Beau and my RB kitties names. Felicia was chosen instead of Beau because I had her longer.
I am "Felicia's Mom" on another board too.
The only change I might make would be be to make it "mom" instead of "Mom."

OK, Larry!


I am not very creative either... When I was creating my log in, my fiance's son was playing with his little Pokemon creatures. Squirtle is the cutest one, so I made it my user name.

On my sugar glider forum my name is SugarBabees but I'm not totally crazy about it- it's a pretty common name there, just spelled differently.

So with Sarah being my first name and my last name starts with a 'B' I kind of just came up with what I have now... switched the 'ees' to 'eez' and viola!

This is actually my favorite name of all the ones I've come up with!

Now I have the most hilarious mental image in my head
