Why/How did you choose your email/blogging name?

I was watching a news program the other day, I forgot which news magazine program, (or at least I think it was on tv) and they featured the odd names people call themselves for email purposes. That got me thinking to the moment that I chose my Email name, Foreverserenity.

I remembered I was going through a lot at the time, and I wanted some peace of mind, and thought of the word Serenity because of an email I received at the time. It's a nice word and I love the feeling saying it gave me and the thoughts of being peaceful and the calm that it evoked in my mind. So I decided to create an email address with that name on Yahoo.

I actually wanted to be Serenity Now, (especially because of that Seinfeld episode where George was having a vexing time and he kept yelling, "Serenity now, serenity now"!), Anyway, when I tried Serenity Now, that name was already taken. So I thought, well, I want to have serenity forever, and I tried, that, already taken; so I tried Foreverserenity, that was taken but no one had the 2003 version, so I added that, and hence I became, foreverserenity2003. That also got me thinking about a lot of JUsers name I've seen on this site and I wondered how did you get your Blogging/Email name and why?

my email address - [email protected] was because for my 18th birthday I had a costume party myself and 2 friends dressed up as the Original Charlie's Angels - I was Kelly Garrett and we had this friend Beavs who was Beavsly as opposed to Bosley
It kinda grew from there I was trina-angel, my friend tegan was teegie-angel and rin was rinna-angel -- well all got hotmail addresses but mine was the only one who had to have a number or something so I said _chats@

my JU name is my real life name trina and my last name initial -- pretty boring really

My nick ( XX ) at JU ( and skinning community in general ) name is simply short of X > X, which is a impossibility in math terms.

My email definitely is not creative.

Oh, the many names...

I'm sugar high elf here because 1. I love Tolkein and my LotR personality is an Elf 2. I love the movie Empire Records and a song from that movie called "Sugar High"
I'm also Jai Macreiberts sometimes. Jai because it is a family nickname (I have a cousin four days younger than me also named Jessica, nicknames were a must) and Macreiberts as as Scottish version of my real last name. From time to time, I'm Nessa Lindorie which is Elvish for "Lady of Song" and Nessa is one of the lesser Valar, and then Menoly, one of my favorite characters from the Pern series by Anne McCaffrey.

I wrote a poem with a friend about the many shades of Suz. There was boozy Suzi, cruisy Suzi, woosy Suzi, spewsy Suzi and... Floozie Suzi (OK - it was about the many shades of a drunk Suz). Whilst I am not exactly a floozie in real life it kind of fits with my flirtatious and fun nature. I didn't really put much thought into it here as I had never been part of an online community before (I didn't even really know what a blog site was, to be honest) and didn't think that the name meant much.

I like that movie too, Empire Records, so old, manage to catch it recently on cable - those were some "crazy" kids. Tex, I recently found out that Wahine meant woman too from the reality show, Dawg the Bounty Hunter - yes, I watch it, ...it's entertainingly funny - to me anyway.
