How did you chose your username?

[Tobermory]

I’ve lived with so many cats over the years that I didn’t want to single one out for my name. Since I majored in English literature in college, I decided to go with a literary cat. “Tobermory” is a short story written by Saki (the pen name of H.H. Munro) and published in 1911. Tobermory was a very outspoken talking cat.

 

[angel]

from a name of a cat I had her name was angel

 

[Whenallhellbreakslose]

When I joined TSC, I was going through a very bad situation where I felt I was being attacked from all ends. Yes, it was over the outdoor cats I feed. I chose my username because that's how I felt at the time-- all hell was breaking loose! I left out an "o" accidentally on the word loose. Oh well!

I contemplated numberous times changing my user name and maybe one day I will, but for now I will keep it. So if anyone is in one of those "when all hell breaks loose" situation, you are not alone. Hang in there!!!!

 

[Tik cat's mum]

I hadn't had a cat for over 20 years. So when we got Tik he reminded me just how much I'd missed not having a cat. So Tik cat's mum I was. He's at the bridge now but don't want to change my name because he was the cat that reminded me that cat's are Awsome. I have two just as awesome boy's now because of him.

 

[debbila]

My username is the nickname a dear friend who passed away called me. He was Jewish and leaving off the last letter of a person's name and adding ' la ' is used as a term of endearment. My name is Debbie, so Debbila it was!

 

[Margret]

Mine's just my name

Likewise.

Ooh! Now I have to look for the story! Thanks!

[allmykitties]

Too many cats to make a pithy user name, so "AllMyKitties" (which now include more than the ones that I had when I first signed up).

 

[Tobermory]

Ooh! Now I have to look for the story! Thanks!

I have to warn you: It’s not a happy story. It’s a rather malicious satire. But I liked the name.

 

[MonaLyssa33]

Mine is the email I've had for well over a decade now. It's a play on Mona Lisa since my name is Alyssa and one of my nicknames is Lyssa and 3 is my favorite number.

 

[posiepurrs]

Posiepurrs was the name of my cattery so it just seemed logical to use it. The cattery was named after my 2 passions - gardening and cats.

 

[Silver Crazy]

Silver for the color of Blue and Crazy because everyone thought I was crazy bringing home such an angry cat.

 

[Boris Diamond]

Boris and Diamond were the two cats I had when I joined TCS.

 

[cassiopea]

"Cassiopea" was already a common username I used back in my Uni undergrad years. I wanted something that connected with my passion for history, my own real name (My real name is derived from a Greco-Roman mythological background) with an attempt at being unique and pretty. And yes it is spelled that way on purpose - Compared to the actual "Cassiopeia" spelling.

 

[DownTheLane]

It sounds very close to a nickname a friend of mine uses for me. I have a pretty unique name, so it might have been smarter to stay more private, but ohh well I do kinda like it, since it doesn't give away too much or the actual spelling.
