What's in a name ?

[mook3y]

mine is from a nickname I was given about 15 years ago by a friend/coworker/bestman.

We were friends before we started working together in the mid 90's. After we started working together, we moved in together to a house and His little kids always called me Mikey. In that same time period, we were 5 - 10 minutes from Disneyland and I talked them into annual passes. Shortly after that, he came up with mookey (he didn't think Mickey was a good nickname, but mookey was close) and boy did it stick. Countless coworkers and friends call me mookey now.

The 3 in my come from being a computer geek. I use M00k3y as my "handle". In homage to my geek background, I tossed a 3 in for here.

[Dulcee]

Dulce is "sweet" in spanish. It was also the spanish nickname I used through all my spanish classes in school. The extra "e" was something my first spanish teacher made me tag on because Dulce was not a true spanish name and for some reason the extra "e" made her more comfortable with it lol

[Disney4us2]

Disney4us2: It is DD and me, we love Disney are always at Disneyland. So it is Disney for us two. It is also my email address.... Disney4ustwo@.........

[Laughin' place]

Ian-
I was really hoping that the backstory was a tragic tale from your childhood, and was delivered in song.

My dad loved the Remus stories and Song of the South. Our epic family vacations were his laughin place, and WDW is mine. Even when I cant be in my laughin place, intercot and other outlets let me go there, if only for a moment or two.

[princessgirls]

When I joined in July of 2005, my girls were little, and dreamed of meeting the Princesses!

Thus the name, Princessgirls! Not too original, but that's my story...

Fun Topic!

[ftwildernesskid]

Mine is because as a child, we always stayed at Ft. Wilderness. I have so many happy memories of the campground...almost more than the actual park..then only MK.

[finaldynasty]

Mine is the name I was given when I pledged my fraternity. My line was the last line to cross (i.e. be initiated) in the last millennium. I am a member of the oldest black fraternity and this was a significant event.

[BandMan]

I'm a high school band director. My first trip to WDW was with 80 high school kids. One of my proudest moments, personal and professional, was marching down mainstreet with the castle behind us and having my kids high-step around the circle with the flagpole. It was awesome.

[princessjojo]

Mine came from something my dad used to always tell me and my sisters while growing up. He would say, especially when we were sad or having a bad day, that girls are special and should always be treated as such--like a princess and we were his princesses. Jo was my middle name and for a couple years, when my youngest sister would call me, she would call me princessjojo. Guess he took it or something similiar, from the movie The Littlest Princess.

I remind my husband of this all the time, and a good part of the time, he treats me this way as well. Yes, I am spoiled, and I like it that way...

[roses]

Great topic!!! Loved reading everyones responses!

Mine is very simple. My nickname is Rose and one of our family friends has called me Roses since I was little.

[AHOTE]

AHOTE is a Hopi name meaning restless one. I had a teacher way back in elementary school tell me that I was an Ahote and I never forgot it. Still can't figure out why!

[rubato]

I love that ... I may shamelessly steal it for our boat, which is as-yet unnamed.

Go for it! As long as you aren't in the Kansas City area, I don't think our boats will ever meet.

[garymacd]

I thought long and hard about my board name, but since I don't really have an active imagination, I chose my first name and part of my last name.

Oh, my brain hurts from all that thinking.

[Scar]

It's my name... although I could never understand how Disney got the spelling wrong.

[Magic Smiles]

Mine comes from the fact that WDW is the most magically place on earth and it always makes me smile.

[jennbunn]

Mine came from my nickname is jen and no one can say my last name right so I always get called mrs.Bunn. by strangers so I just roll with it : )

[IloveJack]

I am, and will most-likely always be, a Johnny Depp fan (my DH completely understands this, and is okay with it ). My favorite Disney movie(s) is the PotC trilogy. It also happens to be my favorite ride in the MK. So, put those two together, and "I love Jack."

[Ed]

My username has a very in depth back story ...

It's my first name.

The End.

I happen to be in the same boat (pardon the pun, but it was intended) as your DH. my beloved wife is so in love with that scoundrel that she has her own Johnny Depp website. She even named our little dog Jack.

What the heck; it keeps her out of trouble!

[PirateLover]

My username has a very in depth back story ...

It's my first name.

The End.

Now now.... you guys didn't ALWAYS go by your first names! We can never forget the days of WDWacky, Melanears, and TiggTigg5!

As for me... Splash Mountain is my fave ride and I tried a few variations on that but they were all taken, so I switched to Pirate since PoTC is another fave of mine. I guess people just automatically associate pirates with guys because people always seem to think I'm a dude, so now I have my real name in my sig
