What's the story behind your username?

[Ghostbirb]

So this was started in another thread so I thought we could start a thread about. So everyone, whats the story behind your fun username!

Heres mine!
It’s kind of strange. First I really like birds and a birb is a round cute bird, whereas a borb is a bird who take roundness to the extreme! I’ve debated about changing the birb to borb but I’ve had birb for awhile here and that it might confuse people if I change it.
As for the ghost part, it was an inside joke with some friends that my dog’s farts killed me and I turned into a ghost.
So ya! Ghostbirb


Here’s a fun little explanation I found online of a birb

 

[kinyonga]

Mine is Swahili for chameleon.
I found it odd when the re-named some of the chameleons with the name kinyongia.

 

[elizaann2]

Mine is boring, its just my old hotmail email....which I think is what I used to make this account

 

[Kx2+cham]

Mine is not really a creative one, “Kx2” because my two kids name starts with K then “+cham” obviously because of the chameleon.

 

[naterowley]

First and last name hahaha also my handles on most other platforms

 

[Beman]

Beman... Well because of the Beman... My first chameleon. And I do not know why I named him that. I left the store still undecided about getting him. And when I left I was like his name should be Beman. Don't know how the heck that came to me. 3 days later after non stop thinking about him I went back and got him. 5 years later he is still going strong. Funny thing is my name is Rebecca but all my friends call me Becca. Which is also part of his name. Weird.

 

[Gloriawood]

Mines my name also my user name on most of my social media. I forget things easy so I keep it simple

 

[CCT Reptiles]

CCT Reptiles
Chans chams & tortoises is what CCT stands for but thought it would be weird to stand alone originally wanted chans chams as it’s perfect and is my first name but knew they’re was going to be chatter abt it being close to frams chams so I settled with doing CCT reptiles which I still enjoy

 

[nightanole]

In the 90's i worked night shift, and had geckos and anoles. "nightgecko" was taken on a lot of bbs sites... Could have done knightanole lol.

 

[jannb]

Mine is my first name and the first letter of my last name.

 

[Sherbertsmysunshine]

Mines is Sherbertsmysunshine, because I love my chameleon, Sherbert, and I was hurrying to make an account because I freak out about everything, he does

 

[Sonny13]

Mine is my alter ego and I love the “(un)lucky” 13

 

[MissSkittles]

While waiting to receive the alien creature I knew zero about, including what it looked like, I chose the name Skittles for it. Later, when joining the forum, the user name Skittles was already taken, so we both became Miss Skittles. I tried keeping her name that, but it just didn’t fit my Grumpy girl. *her name was used only for identification needs. I always called her, Love, Honey or Sweetheart as she was.

I always thought it was because you have a particular fondness for the ghost bird.

Thats worse than a fourteen-pound Tegu!

Potoos! I do love those guys but I had no idea they where called ghost birds

 

[Gingero]

My username is from my red hair! I added the o to the end to make it sound more like a name Ginger-O

 

[FramsChams]

I know mine is quite obvious now, but I changed it when we became a site sponsor. Before that it was Carframmy. This is a combo of my nickname, “Car” (pronounced Care) for Carolyn and “Frammy” for my husband’s lifelong nickname based off his last name LaFRAMboise.

I may or may not have also been “noahkitty” waaayyyy back which was my first aol email named after a kitty I had in college in the 90’s! Ugh- dating myself!

 

[crosscutts]

Mine is my business name linked with my last name James Cross i’m a carpenter
