Whats yours mean?
 

Nicked this idea from the American Expats site while being nosy!

So what does your user name mean or where did you get it from? There are a few interesting ones on here... so lets hear em.

Mines boring Matt being my first name and Butt being part of my surname....

The Snorkmaiden was a character in a kids programme(The Moomins) which my husband describes as post hippy animated puppetry, and I really liked her.

The show was pretty strange, and I liked strange a lot, and it was the first name that came to mind when I was registering
;)

mine is also boring, im ant and my wife is jen - no imagination here im afraid :)

Ant

A Conan O'Brien sketch is where I got my name from. He does a late night talk show on NBC after Leno. Saw the show first on NBC super channel about 6 or 7 years ago.

Hey, you're not the Matt Button who I used to know vaguely when I was a kid in Cambridge, are you?

Oh, and my user name is really dull - it's the same one I've used since the first day I went online at University :rolleyes:

Jambo = nickname for supporters of Hearts F.C.
Also means hello in swahili...I beleive.:lecture:

No im not from the ton family, im from the tery family, always raises a chuckle here that.

total lack of immagination here I'm Jan and i live in Michigan ... funny that eh ?

Jan :)

There is a long story to mine but to keep it to a few simple words:

rincewind = Pratchett Fan

:D

Mine's a cutdown version of my full name and was blessed upon me by some friends years ago.

David A(xxxxx)d = Dave Atcha = Datcha

Curiously "datcha" means "summerhouse" in I think German and Russian. Its also the name of a Jawa in the Star Wars novels - kinda ironic as I'm a big fan of the original movies and also love collecting stuff, rather like Jawas. Nice.

Oh and its my music-producing moniker also =)


Cheers,
David.

My thoughts exactly :D Mine does have the Yanks confused though.

Heres another one with a lack of imagination... My names Ash (well ashley) I'm from the UK I moved to the US hence Ash UK/US

:)

Well years ago I used to have a Suzie Quatro haircut and was nicknamed SuzieQ and it stuck.
Sue

Hehe

Ive had many people online comment that they liked my name, thinking it was a play on bugs bunny (?) somehow, but actually, it was a nickname given to me when I was younger by my dad and brother (not sure who came up with it).

They thought I had goofy teeth, and when I was younger my ears gave me trouble and were often waxy, hence waxwabbit!

Personally I love the alliteration, makes it catchy!

Mine is actually my grandmothers name, shortened from Euphemia, same as my first name although I do not go by that.
