Inquiring Minds Want to Know

E

expatgirl

Guest
Ok, I've seen so many interesting, wonderful, intriguing names that y'all give yourselves and was wondering if you would mind sharing why you chose that particular name for yourself---no, Dr. Phil isn't lurking in the background:D :D
I'll share with you why I chose "expatgirl". An expat(short for expatriate) is someone who lives outside of their home country. Our first foreign posting was in Egypt for 6 years, back to Houston for 4 more and now to Kazahstan. I had a wonderful, kooky friend in Egypt and she composed a song using the same tune as Elton John's "Uptown Girl" and turned it into "Expat girl living in an Expat World". It was an immediate hit--anyway that's where expat girl comes from.:p
 
Ok here I go I made my name up back when I was maybe 24 or so everyone said that I looked like a barbiedoll I was tall skinny had long blonde hair so I chose that name 1973 the year I was borned and TN is where I am from.
 
I picked the first part of my name years ago, Phoenyx. When I was in college, I regularly played an online game (I still occasionally play, but not very often) & my user name is Phoenyx. I chose that name because I like phoenixes, but there was already a phoenix as a monster in the game, so I couldn't use Phoenix. My friend suggested changing the 'i' to a 'y' and sure enough that worked.

The second part, Starr, is my married name. It's not very original, I know, but it's me & I like it. :D
 
I just knew there were stories behind all your names----thanks y'all so much for sharing.. Anyway, for the rest of you seeing this thread, don't be shy!!!!
 
Well, I like butterflies & I like to daydream...so I just put the 2 together. LOL That's how I got my name. I just thought it sounded neat. :)
 
My name came from:

mt--medical transcriptionist
mom--obvious, lol
J-- for Jamie, my name
 
My name comes from a Peter Sellers movie "I Love you Alice B Toklas". Peter plays a lawyer that falls for a girl (me) that makes special brownies ... I love those old Peter Sellers movies. BTW: My favorite "unknown" Sellers movie is "The Party". It's a classic comedy that for some reason isn't played much. If you see The Party on the TV guide, watch for classic Sellers humor.
 
It's a nickname my Mexican coworkers gave me years ago and i've stuck with it since :).

OT - Kazakhstan, what an interesting place to live!
 
My name is from my favorite seasoning, Old Bay. I love it with seafood, french fries, and has brown potatoes. But it's best with crabs, crab cakes, crab imperial, and snow crabs too. Oh and Shrimp too!
 
I love butterflies and grew a butterfly garden before moving overseas. I also love old Peter Sellers movies--especially The Pink Panther and I love Old Bay seasoning on seafood. I'd like to know what's in it (maybe Google can enlighten) So I guess we all have a lot in common! Thanks for sharing. :}
 
I'm not too original - I've been a "mama" to just about everyone and the "mangia" - well - being Italian you hear it and use it every day!
 
me - first 2 letters of my first name
da - first 2 letters of my middle name
ko - first 2 letters of my last name

original, huh?
 
Okay mine is pohto because that is my fiance's and soon to be my last name, and 9, because between us there are 9 children. LOL.
 
Mine came from how my family pronounced my name as a kid. My name is Angela and my mom wanted me to be nicknamed Angel (why didnt she jsut name me Angel then??) and I got stuck with Angie from Friends and school. But my family called me 'an-jul' (rhymes with bull. lol) hence angewl. 73 is the year I was born.
