Why is your BWW name your BWW name?- Page 2

Posted: 4/6/06 at 1:11pm

I've been a huge Wonder Woman fan practically since birth. In 1997 I was working at this restaurant with a television behind the bar. Sci-Fi network started playing reruns of Wonder Woman at 3 o'clock - right around the time we'd all be finishing up our sidework after the lunch rush - and I insisted that it be played every day. The nickname grew out of that and actually managed to follow me to my next job. Then I got online and it became my screen name on most any given website. It's so firmly connected to me now that if you came to my town and asked around a bit, you'd be able to find me fairly quickly. Everyone who knows me also knows "Wonder Waiter".

My pen pal started calling me Mandi Moo in our letters, and I liked it. *shrug*

It's the name my mommy gave me.

[Elphaba]

Posted: 4/6/06 at 1:26pm

um, cause I had never heard the name before I read the book, and it just stuck with me.......

[Pip]

Posted: 4/6/06 at 1:30pm

Because I love "Great Expectations" and I identify with the main character, Pip.

Despite what some would say, this is not a plea for people to sleep with me and stay til the morning end.

It was just the song that was on when I registered.

I used to use the same username for EVERYTHING but got sick of it, so when I came here I wanted something new and theater-related. So, Les Mis is my all-time favorite show, "Master of the House" the most fun part so I just adapted it for me and came up with "MistressoftheHouse."

I had been contemplating joining over Christmas, and I really hate snow. My dad had mentioned Canadian snowbirds one day, and I decided that's what I was, I just couldn't afford to travel. I would've just been Snowbird, but I didn't want a number, and I'm Canadian.

Mine's from a song by my friend's band Juniper Lane called Static on the Radar, which later got shortened to just Static, but that was after I had already latched onto the name. It's my name for pretty much everything now. Started on their own boards and then I liked it so I stuck with it.

and that is why I am staticradar :)

Because I was listening to a Slim and Slam CD when I first needed a web id (I no longer remember what for), and now I use it wherever I digitally go.

well..my first bww name was iheartcheyenne123..I wasn't really thinking when I made it up and made it before I posted. I do ove him though =]

my name now..is just a quote from rent that i've always liked. It just shows my love for the stage and theater. I created it with help from the Adam love thread

Pretty simple...I'm just a girl? But apparently I'm not the only girl on BroadwayWorld, so I have to settle for being the 2nd. That's OK.

[Katt]

Posted: 4/6/06 at 2:37pm

My name is Katherine, but a lot of people call me Kat..and I think that it looks weird with only one T, so I added another one. I guess I'm just OCD like that.

[King Stevos]

Posted: 4/6/06 at 2:50pm

Well, in all truth it came from a mixture of my first nickname and my first name. I bowled in leagues from age 8 to 18, and when I played football, the guys would call me kingpin, because of the movie, however for an email addy it was already taken and I didn't want to be over loaded with Underscores... sooo, I used one of those machienes that mix things around for you, and saw this one sorta... It's also a weird allusion to King Midas... I would like to think that any project I touch I could possibly turn to gold...

Kind of a long story actually. My family got AOL in the mid-90's back when it was new and my first screen name was Hero809 -- because I had just played Hero in Forum and August 9th is my birthday. After a couple months somehow our log-in info was stolen so we had to totally reinstall AOL and pick totally new screen names. I had just seen Les Miserables and wanted to use one of those names as my new screen name so I picked my favorite character, Enjolras. However, that screen name was already taken on AOL so I added my birthyear '77 to the end of it to get Enjolras77. That was way back in 1995 and I have just kept that same screen name since and use it on here, AIM, and ATC.

When I discovered Anthony Warlow in 1997 I was excited to know that he had played Enjolras, so it made my screen name even more exciting!

Posted: 4/6/06 at 3:11pm

secondstar as in "Second star to the right..." just because I'm a dork and I love Peter Pan, and then 05 was my graduation year. I've been using the name for everything else, so I decided to stick with it on here, as well.

[Liam]

its my first name--i love my name :)

[LilDiva05]

Posted: 4/6/06 at 3:30pm

Lil because I'm little lol, Diva because that's what my friends call me, and the 05 part is because that's the year I joined BWW & graduated from high school.


Sooooo exciting *major sarcasm*

It's actually the name of a strong female character from a book series I used to read. I decided to use the name when I first got the internet back in 1998. It's been with me ever since. I also like the name.

[The Grovers Corners Yenta2]

Posted: 4/6/06 at 3:53pm

I got this name in 1974 in my high school production of Thornton Wilder's OUR TOWN. I played Mrs, Soames, the town busy body. In the very last scene all the characters who have died are standing behind their grave stones speaking to the audience. The writing on my grave stone: HERE LIES LOUELLA SOAMES, THE YENTA OF GROVER'S CORNERS. DollyPop was the director; need I say more?
