Posting names..how did you pick yours?

cindyo · 07-01-2009, 11:44 AM

I know this sounds kind of crazy........ but as i read so many of the posting here several times a day, I was wondering how posters of the forum had picked their "names".

Obviously mine is a no-brainer (cindyo), along with my husbands, Robo, and ArubaLisa, Andrea, Liz, ~Amy~, Arubamark, Randi, Orrin, etc, but what about the others...

Tell us your story or maybe its significance...there's some great "names" out there.

Cindyo :}

Since "Bonbini" means welcome in Papiamento, I figured that would be fitting!

These are all very creative....thanks for sharing.

Wow....still "56"?

You've been 56 as long as I've known you!

....OK folks....that for 1956...my mistake was thinking she was 56....though that won't seem so bad in 4 years!
