Mine is simple. My real name is Ruth and there already was another Ruth so I just added the xxx. I bet you chickies thought I was X-rated!

How did you choose yours?

mine was easy also possibly lacking the creativity of some in here but first name is jodi and it is just me= justjodi

well ruth i was wondering but you seem pretty harmless....... unless you were off working at a xxx greenhouse yesterday????? hmmmmm

I chose little chick because I want to be little and chick because 3fchicks. Not really exciting. But I thought sexy chick was a little bold.

I have an official name of Kathryn, but have been Clovey (or Clove or Clover) for as long as I can remember, at least to certain people. And I like it better. In fact I always struggle in offical land when I get called Kathryn or any derivative therof.

I was born and raised in Southern California and genuinely love this place.

I am the bird lady because about three years ago my partner was insistent on bringing home a parrot that had been in the family for 32 years. The parrot's owner was 95 and no longer able to care for the bird.

I *****ed, I moaned, I said repeatedly "I don't want any messy birds in this house!

The bird came home anyway and I will never forget what happened. She put the bird on my shoulder and he decided that I was his new best friend. From that day forward, no one else has been able to handle him without being bitten. I have also learned that birds are G-d's very special creatures; we can't really own them or dominate them. There is much that we can learn from them. Dogs like everybody, cats tolerate most people (meow, what have you done for me lately?) but with birds their trust must be earned and they are very intelligent.

So now we have three: the original Amazon, a Cockatoo and a mini-macaw. And I am, without a doubt, the bird lady.

I originally wanted Evil Redhead as my name since I am a redhead and I am a little wicked and mischievous. ellis tells me that I look like my avatar

Unfortunately when I tried to make that my e-mail address there were about a hundred of them already. I am Canadian and speak French so my name - Mauvaisroux- is French for Evil Redhead

My Mom has called me Aimee Jane since I was little. And, no, Jane isn't my middle name - it's Janeece.

Ruth you are so smart! What a great idea. I picked my name because I love Alabama Football. Roll Tide! I have used Bamiegurl as my email for years even before we moved to Alabama. My van state tag is bama f-ball my van color is bama color. I decided to use it here because of that and now I am a Bamiegurl since we live here.

I chose January because Jan was taken (my actual name)...so I figured I was starting SBD in January...and it sounded good!
I chose the avitar because that's my secrect sexy side!

Not so secret Jan.....

My screenname is Mompen:

I am Penny - mom of 3........

How original! LOL

What an interesting thread to read, Ruth.

I chose Ellis because I hate my real name. It sounds sucky to me. Like Betty Lou. Or Annabelle. (okay, who have I offended?) I've always thought the name Ellis sounded cool. My real initials make up the name "Ellis".

I thought it was because you liked mystery novels and there is a mystery writer called Ellis Peters

I picked my avatar cause it kinda looks like me and I can be kind of witchy

I dunno, Ellis. I don't think Edna Lillian Longfellow Ida Schwartzbein is that bad!

Mauvaisroux, I too am a wicked redhead!

Bamiegurl, my Mom is from Mobile and we are all HUGE Alabama football fans! Roll Tide Roll!!



Oh, my name? lol We have a Sun Conure (small parrot) named Gavin and he thinks I'm his Mommy. Ok, so I spoil him like a child but anyways.
