[devlinswife]

I am Devlins wife and certainly proud of it, I am chastainesmom on yahoo, but anywhere else you can find me under devlinswife.

[nkviking75]

"NK" stands for my high school, "viking" was our sports teams' name (lots of Norwegian descendants around here), and '75 was the year of my graduation.  It's odd that I chose that, because I'd just as soon forget most of my high school years.  It's easy for me to remember.

[Zach]

I'm Zach ... and that's that!

[Fox_nc]

Mine also comes from being pround to be married to my husband . . . Our last name is Fox and we live in North Carolina.  I added the NC just so it wasn't so short. :-)

[BigSky]

Because at the time of sign up I didn't have an original thought for **** to come up with a name.   ???Hence one of the things the state is known for.

I was hoping it stood for Fox News Channel. I was hoping for press coverage. 

[tubes]

my friends gave me the nickname in highschool.  It was a toss between tubes and elmo.
Elmo because I laugh alot and tubes because I had the peritoneal catheter.

Thank God Tubes won.   

Now that I'm 26. I don't think I would like my friends calling out, "Hey Elmo"...when we're out in public somewhere.

I could be "undercover"

And the icon is a tribute to one of my favs  Michael J Fox

Ah ok! I was wondering

[Stacy Without An E]

"Stacy Without An E" comes with a huge messy side order of "duh" as far as name origination, but there are a couple minute stories involved with its creation.

As a member of the "Stacy Community" everywhere I travel, people want to place an extra vowel in my name to give it a more feminine leaning.

I just double checked and I'm still a dude, so that is infuriating.

My favorite is when I go to purchase something, and this just happened AGAIN at the mall this past week, the sales clerk, in an effort to be thorough, innocently asks, "Is this your wife's card?"

I bust out with the ID like an FBI agent collaring a criminal.

They always smile and apologize, but no one truly understand the rules of Stacy:

"Stacy" is the male spelling, plain and simple.

"Stacey", "Staci", "Stacee", "Stacy See" and "Stacy (with a silent x)" are all the female spelling.

Before I was born, my father was a huge fan of Stacy Adams shoes, so he decided to continue the history of the name.

I'm not Nike.  I'm not Reebox.  My name is Stacy Without An E and I wouldn't have it any other way.

[angieskidney]

Don't worry Stacy. I have never known anyone by that name .. girl or boy personally .. but my brother Lonnie can really relate. When he was younger people used to tease him and call him Loni Anderson.

Now however he is proud of his name. Unlike my mom who goes by her middle name instead.

[anja]

Good to hear from you again, Stacy without an e!  I have similar problems at stores and on the phone.  Many try to add an extra 'd', changing my gender also, from Edie to Eddie... Frustrating, to say the least- but sometimes comical when they ask for 'Eddie' on the phone and I tell them no one by that name lives here!  I get out of several telemarketing calls that way.  Got to get some perks with an unusual name.

[jbeany]

When I worked as a CAD drafter at an architectural firm, I had a coworker who always said "use your bean" instead of "use your head".  Our boss at the time was smart, but very disorganized and so flaky that everyone teased him that he'd lose his head if it wasn't attached.  I spent most of my time keeping him organized.  In the middle of a project, when I was tracking down something he'd forgotten, my coworker told him to use his bean to figure it out.  He pointed at me and said that he was.  I've been stuck with "Bean" since then.  My initials are JY, so jbeany it is.

[Ohio Buckeye]

Mine is pretty self-explanatory.
Couldn't think of a name to use.
So used Ohio since live in Ohio and being a Buckeye fan is a lifestyle around here.
Real name is Janet but most everyone calls me Jan.

[billable]

Back before Windows95, a filename could only be 8 characters.  When I first got email, I had to drop the "s" from the end of my name, Bill Ables.  It was years before I realized that I was actually spelling a word as in billable hours.

AH! I was wondering about that

[Fighter]

As I said in my introduction, on the day I learned that I would have to do long term dialysis, I cried and I felt desperate and lonely and sorry for myself. But when I woke up the following morning I decided that from now on I would be a fighter, and almost two years later I'm still in that state of mind.

[Sluff]

Good for you Fighter. Keep on keeping on.

[Bette]

My first name is Bethany, but my best friend always calls me Bette for short - like in Bette Midler.  I think it's a much cooler name than Bethany.

[alrightstill]

Interesting thread!   

My name comes from the name of a Lily Allen album, entitled (dun dun dun..) "Alright Still".       Because, well, I am .. still alright..  Alright.. still.   Nothing much out of the ordinary has changed in a while.. 

[Fighter]

Good for you Fighter. Keep on keeping on.

Thanks sluff
Great name btw, you have my vote for most original/funniest
