So, what does your screen name mean?

I'm absolutly boring. I've been using Mamakash since my aol days, it's orginal and none one else had it as a screen name. I've used several other servers since, but kept Mamakash, simply for continuity.
My bird's name is Kashi, I am her mother, thus I am the Mamakash.
I keep using this screen name in other newsgroups, too. It's just part of my idenity now. Not an exotic name, kinda warm and fuzzy.
Now Kashi's pic is my avatar.
She beeps hello to everyone.

Mamakash, my base AOL name (I never use it as that is where I direct spam) is ARARULED...and before AOL, I think I was on GEnie as AraMom.

Ara is the genus name for macaws...and Aratinga for the conures (I had both at the time).

Ahh, Tygress, we share a love of loud whistles and loud little birds. Chiff and fipple, bringing people together.
I often say to Kashi that she possesses a LBB . . . little black beak. It can outshout any instument I play. Something I imagine she's quite proud of.

I was named after the sound my mother's dog made when he barked. He had a hair lip and deformed nose.

Let's dispose of the most obvious theory first. My parents would have been very surprised had anyone referred to them as Mr and Mrs Wombat.

So who are all these Wombats cluttering up the place then?

Well, my first username was The Whistling Elf; my RL nickname (Elf- came about from my inherited birthmark of a pointed ear- Darwin's Tubercile for those in the know... [my other ear is sort of pointy too, although no tubercile]), and since I was learning the whistle at the time, thus Whistling.

My other username (and more common one), Isilwen Elanessë, is in the Quenyan dialect of Elvish. It means "Behold the youthful moon-maiden/daughter." I really liked it because I've always had a love/affinity for the night sky. Isilwen Elanessë was too long for my Username on here, so I cut it to Isilwen (moon-maiden/daughter).

If you want to find your own Elvish name, check out www.chriswetherell.com/elf

They also do Hobbit names.

Steve, I blush to admit that most of them are my cousins.

Umm...Because this is the internet name I always use.

I first came up with the Kardshark part because I like card games; I don't cheat, though. The 87 came from the fact that I was born in 87...Make sense?

Carol, be careful, or your little hobby will get you put on one of 'those' FBI lists!

Vaporlock is a thing that sometimes takes place in my brain. You know how sometimes a thought starts to pop out, but it can't overcome the vaccuum it leaves in its wake, so it just gets sucked back in to be lost forever.

The first time I had.....errrr....what was I saying??

Sunnywindo · Post by **Sunnywindo** » Sat Mar 22, 2003 12:04 pm

When I first bought a computer and was confronted with the need for a username as I connected to the internet, I soon found that most names that I could think of someone else had thought of first. My computer sat in front of a very large sunny window and finally, just because, I typed in "Sunnywindow" which was taken, but shortening it to "Sunnywindo" worked. I like the name, it kinda stuck. Course, other people seem to like the name "Sunnywindo" to, so sometimes I end up using "TopazCanary" instead, or variations of the two.

Incidently, we moved and my computer is now next to a large sunny sliding glass door... but "Sunnyglassdoor" just doesn't have the same ring to it.

Well, my name represents - my name!

I also go by shades of gray occasionally - I love the color gray and there are many shades of it!
