Mine is because I am a dancer and I'm tall but tiny so it's been my nickname and my favorite song is Tiny Dancer but I love the version that Tim McGraw sings.
homemaluhia is a Hawaiian word. We "named" our home Home Maluhia. It means home of tranquility and peace.
Landon was my only grandchild. He called me Grammy, hence lansgramm. That was nine years and three more grandchildren ago.
My husband (Nick) calls me halfpint because I'm small so that's where we came up with nickshalfpint! Isn't that exciting . I'm not very creative
My name is Richelle (which nobody calls me) . Everyone calls me Shel. Stick 'em together....riSHEL
Well, there's no misunderstanding mine
My DH came up with the spelling so as not to infringe on "The Cake Lady" Frances Kuyper.
Mine isn't that original either. My first name is Bettina and my maiden name is Shoemaker. I also love shoes so I just go by Bettinashoe.
Thanks for starting this thread - I feel like I'm getting to know CCers better! I'm actually surprised mine was not taken when I joined as it is taken everywhere else I try to use it. This is my Chinese zodiac sign.
I always knew I was a horse (there are 12 animals) but only as an adult found out that there are 5 elements as well so your element + animal only comes up every 60 years. Interesting fact - they used to kill girl babies born in the year of the firehorse - we are considered to be too headstrong, opinionated - basically "unmarriageable". And no, I've never been married, not even close. Who knows, maybe now that I do cake!
On the flip side (embarrassingly I was told this by a lady at a dinner party who turned out to know my parents!) a firehorse woman can kill a man in bed.....
Chalk mine up to another boring one! I was just too excited to get on the site that I just made my name my real name and first initial of my last! Good thing I'm much more creative with other things! Coming up with names isn't one of them. Hmmm, this also reminds me of how long it took us to come up with names for our pets and kids...I may have a real problem here!
Yeah mine is boring too... Tray2... My Name is Tracy and my sister always calls me Tray... I had a yahoo e-mail "TracyDrew2" (2 becasue I could not recall the password for [email protected]...) so I just added the 2 on to the Tray and came up with Tray2...
When I signed up here on CC, I had no idea how much I would love CC and be here all the time, I just did not think to much about the name I gave myself... I once attemtped to change my name to Cake-a-Doodle (The name my 3 year gave my business) but was advised not to by the help desk.... I am going to stick to the boring Tray2 for now... lol

Hee hee, I'm a metal monkey.
Mine is self explaining. Im someonesmommy....well...3 someones that is. I use it for all of my screen names.
Add another to the boring list. Cakes of course duh!!! and party because I love to decorate for parties and girl just cause I couldn't think of anything else
mine has lots of meaning behind it "for me" . . . my son and (now) daughter in law asked me to make their wedding cake . . . since I hadn't made a cake in almost 20 years (and those were just kiddie cakes for my son as he was growing up) . . . it seemed like a crazy request (but I didn't want to let them down, so I agreed) . . . they were going to be releasing butterflies as part of the ceremony (which took place in a beautiful garden) . . . so with butterflies on the brain I began searching the net for ideas on how/what to make for a cake . . . I found this site and needed a user name . . . butterflies aren't really "my thing" but dragonflies have had lots of meaning for me (when my dad passed there was one card that stood out among ALL the rest . . . it was, you guessed it, dragonfly related . . . that card touched me deeply . . . if I was ever to get a tatoo it would probably be a dragonfly) to me dragonflies represent transformation, adaptation and insight . . . and strength . . . hence DRAGONFLY . . . the DREAMS portion is pretty easy to figure out . . . I was "dreaming" of pulling it all together and being able to achieve what seemed like an impossible task at the time . . . I have dragonflydreams regularly . . . sometimes I am successful, other times they are just dreams (not yet realized?) . . . WAAAYYY TMI??!!!
My first grandbaby called me Nanny (don't know why, just came out that way for her) and I now have 5 (geez, i'm getting old!!!). Anyhow, I always act silly and goofy around them and make them laugh. So one day one of them said...Nanny's nuts!!! Nutty Nanny evolved from that. Gotta love the kids!!!
BTW....great thread!
Mine is for my nickname my Dad gave me when I was a little girl dreaming I was a princess. He always called me Belle and then when I got older and out of the princess stuff he called me jennabell. So jennabell and my house number.
Jen
Well, my husband is a professional Scouter, he works for the Boy Scouts of America, and i have two beautiful kids, one boy and one girl... so i came up with Scoutmamma. I am really involved with the scouts as well, my son is only 3, so i make cakes for his office functions and for some of his cub scout blue and gold banquets... so it fits. not really boring, but not really exciting...
THF!
My CC name is the name of my business. SweetDreams was already taken, so I added the first 2 letters of the town I live in...
My real name, CeRae, is made up from my Dad's nickname in high school. His first and middle names are Charles Ray, and his nickname was C. Ray. So my parents changed the spelling and named me after him. I joke that I'm really Chuck Jr. I did eventually find out the family secret that he's not my biological dad after all (ooops), but that's another story
Well, a year ago my husband and I were tossing around names for a cake business, if I was ever so lucky to start one. My husband came up with Yeast Confection. he thought it was just so funny. Disgusting but funny. I laughed too. Of course I will never name my business that - but I couldn't waste a good stupid name.
Mine is my screenname I use for everything.
Unique because I think I am
A=Allison My First Name
S= Sabrina My Middle Name
K= King My last name
Which Turns out to be (ASK)
Put Together is Uniqueask
Mine is the state I grew up in, and my favorite animal... It was actually a last choice when I signed up for my email account, but I find it's original enough that I can use that sign-in name just about anywhere, and I almost never have to come up with something new or add numbers. Always good. So it's kind of my online persona, since I use it everywhere.
Tubbs is a character in a British TV show I love (The League of Gentlemen). She's played by a man and it's all very odd. I did have her picture as my avatar but I think people found it off-putting. Now I have the Clangars, another British show from when I was a kid.
When we were looking for a name for our new puppy a few years ago, Tubbs ended up being her middle name (Flossie Tubbs Wallace), and when I was looking for an on-line name, Tubbs jumped to mind. I like it because it's gender-neutral, which is an advantage for some boards and groups.
Cookies, because I do more cookies than cakes!
My user name is just all three of my initials put together. I know very boring but I use it for alot of things. Joyce Ann Bose = JAB
Mine comes because I went to Virginia Tech (GO HOKIES!!) and I do three day eventing with my horses so I combined the two.
Mine is pretty obvious--K8 = Kate
Then Memphis 10 C is where I live.
Say Memphis 10 C --don't just look at it.
My real name is Lynette. Nanette came from my nephews inability to pronounce the letter "L" in words when he was learning to talk. For a little while he called me "N"-nette. By the time he was 3 he managed Nanette. Then came my nieces, who thought their big brother was King of all he surveyed, who followed his lead and started calling me Nanette as well. Now he's 10 and the girls are 6 and 7 and they still call me Nanette. The number 1 was a typo.
My nieces and nephw call me Nanette. My family and old friends call me Lynn. My business contacts and new friends call me Lynette and my Godson calls me Tia JoJo. I may have an identity crisis soon.
BUNDT- My neighbor gave all her nordic bundt pans (39). I ended up keeping a fews and used them for decorating on the wall in the kitchen. Later, I sold most of them at a garage sale.
DIVA- We own 2 rescue pugs, DIVA and DHARMA. BUNDT DHARMA Sounds Weird so I picked BUNDT DIVA.
