We've done this before, but let's do it again since we have a bunch of new people. What is the meaning behind your AW message board name? Is it your eBay name? And are you willing to divulge your real first name?
Muriel is the name I've given to my spirit guide so when I talk to her, I don't have to say "Hey you". My real name is Penny. And I'm not Muriel on eBay or anywhere else.
Boy, if Xardon didn't think I was nuts before, he sure will now!

RainyBear is the name of a nice golden retriever I met at the park one day.
There's a RainyBear on eBay, but it's not me.
My real name is Beth (sometimes Elizabeth).

My name means I'm a little odd.
Don't listen to any of those rumors that I'm normal I have no idea how those got started

Our friends all think it's because we travel a lot. It's really the first two letters of our two first names - robert and adele. Get it?

Maddie = my daughter. Nick = my son. The s is mostly because I just happen to belong to them!

I've driven Saabs for the last ten years and I used to write for a newspaper.
I should have grabbed the name for use on ebay but I waited and now someone else has it. My real name is Cathy.

My alias means that I don't want anyone to know who I really am.
OR it could mean something else .

mouseslayer - It could be much much worse. I saw a lady earn the name mooseslayer. You don't want to go there. The moose won.
Oh - I am shall we say - with book.
That's what it feels like.

I think its pretty much self explanatory!
However, my vanpool claimed I never did get it right (I spoiled them) and there are those who claim I'm not that old.
In real life I answer to Carolyn.
(and I'm only cranky here)

Margot is my cat. Since she's always nearby...on the monitor, keyboard, or underfoot, it seemed only the right thing to do to include her in my online world.

My alias is very unimaginative - there just happened to be a tootsiepop wrapper on my desk when I was registering with AW.
BTW, Muriel - Penny is my name too, not my given name, but a family nickname I've had since birth.

Wow-just told this little story on another thread. My name is Melissa~Citygirl is a private joke between my fiancee and I. He's a rodeo cowboy (or was-we're not sure yet) and when we met he joked that he found a city girl. I actually am more of a suburb girl but that's city to him!

I've always been crazy, but it's kept me from going insane!

Because I live close to Puget Sound, which technically isn't the sea, but close enough, I've always had to live near water.

Just helping the fluff rise to the top! Muriel, I almost was a Penny but my Mom opted for an exotic name...I've only met one other person with the same name and she got hers from the same source that mine came from. Wish I could remember what is was!!

After trying several names, I typed in "inside" and here I am.
I kind of like it, when I click on AW it says "Welcome Inside".
