What’s up with your nickname (screen name)??

[BeauSko]

I’ve seen some unique names on here. Just wanted to get the story behind some of them if you care to share.

@sunbyrned .....gotta say I'm with your wife on that one - great name AND did you really want to tempt fate with the other name that we will not mention?

Ha! The wife is usually (always) right. Byrnecurse is not a good name for out in the water.
What’s your story @Canuckjetboater ?

@Twilight .....oh yeah! I can see the possibility there, lose that first letter (consonant) and you're in "me too" territory LOL

 

[Wishfull1]

Started my first online trading account back in the '90s. Wishful thinking that I would eventually become a millionaire, so I tried wishful1, but it was already taken. So, I made it wishfull1 (intentionally misspelled). Stuck with me ever since.

What’s your story @Canuckjetboater ?

@sunbyrned .....well - it was a "hint" to my brothers south of the 49th parallel that I was a northern friend. Missed having dual American/Canadian citizenship by less than 48 hours. Father was posted to the Pentagon and parents decided to deliver me in Canada where grandparents could visit before we left for the U.S.A. Parents bought a house in Chevy Chase. Too funny, right! LOL Spent grades 7-9 in an American school. Parents had a condo in Florida for 20 years so I have a lot of American friends. So thought Canuckjetboater fit the bill.

 

[SantaPappy]

Started doing the Santa thing for the grandgirls 10 years ago....and they call me Pappy
