I'm intrigued... </p> <p>Marianna, I've been saying your name right in my head all along...but I have to tell you that I confuse you *alot* on Facebook with my dance teacher (her name is Maria Sokolova- and every time I see you post something, I think its her name and do a double take)</p> <p>Fathenry, I've been saying your name like the others "fath-enry" and wondering what on earth it could mean. When I read your description I had to go back and look at it again and I almost LOL'd for real at work =)</p> <p>Mine's just my first name. I go by a couple other names on the internet but I figured it'd be unique enough on the forum...I've been told by my parents that it means 'creative' in Sanskrit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-does-your-user-name-mean/page/2#post-111042 Tue, 15 Dec 2009 19:05:06 +0000 Anonymous 111042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>San is short for Sandy which is short for Sandra. I really do not care for the name Sandra. (Sorry to any other Sandra's out there) Almost everyone calls me Sandy. My Grandmother called me Sandra but she is gone now.<br /> Medusa, you take that back. You are adorable.<br /> Fathenry, I didn't get the fat-henry until now either. I thought you were a farmer and fathenry was something like husbandry! HaHa! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-does-your-user-name-mean/page/2#post-111036 Tue, 15 Dec 2009 18:15:57 +0000 shana 111036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great thread - it's interesting getting all the explanations. Queenie, I am the only female in a house of 3 boys so I'm also the queen. Hmm, scratch that, I think my female cat, Chloe is the queen - she's certainly a diva!</p> <p>I'm definitely not the creative type - my username is just my name. </p> <p>Medusa, I hope you don't really feel ugly because you're not and I don't just mean that in the oh but you're so beautiful on the inside way:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-does-your-user-name-mean/page/2#post-110452 Sun, 13 Dec 2009 21:04:48 +0000 medusa 110452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This post is fantastic! Thanks to everyone who posted. I'm so glad I found it and could learn everyone's story.</p> <p>Fathenry, I'll admit that when I first saw your username I thought you were an overweight man! After looking at a couple of your posts I realized how ridiculous my assumption was.</p> <p>Tam, I've been wondering about your name for a while. I know a bit of Russian but I didn't get the connection at all. In my head I was pronouncing it all wrong, like yoo-BLAHK-a - rhymes with "Chewbacca" from Star Wars. I actually wondered if your username was connected to Chewbacca in some way! Kind of funny.</p> <p>VC, I had wondered if your username was related to Khris'. Interesting that they are related. And Khris, I love hearing the full story behind Chewyspaghetti.</p> <p>I chose my username to be medusa because I have snakes for hair and am so ugly that when people look at me they turn to stone. </p> <p>OK, not really...I chose it because I like the idea of accepting myself as I am, including embracing my ugliness. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-does-your-user-name-mean/page/2#post-107973 Fri, 27 Nov 2009 16:26:49 +0000 Angie 107973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fathenry – I wish I was reading your name “fat-henry”. That’s so cute! I have been reading your name like Maya and queenie: “Fa –then-ry” and I found it hard to roll off the tongue in my head. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-does-your-user-name-mean/page/2#post-107945 Fri, 27 Nov 2009 05:55:34 +0000 fathenry 107945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya and Queenie - that is hilarious! I think I'm changing it to your way, sounds much nicer! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-does-your-user-name-mean/page/2#post-107914 Thu, 26 Nov 2009 16:16:11 +0000 Queen Mum 107914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oh, I just got that too "fat-henry" I always thought it was fath-enry too, and when you said something about body image I couldn't figure out what you were talking about. funny! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-does-your-user-name-mean/page/2#post-107869 Wed, 25 Nov 2009 18:10:45 +0000 Maya 107869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fathenry, I would have never thought "bad body image" because I always read your name as fa-then-ry rather than fat-henry! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-does-your-user-name-mean/page/2#post-107811 Wed, 25 Nov 2009 08:46:38 +0000 fathenry 107811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is such a fun and interesting post. My name Fathenry is my internet name, login, etc. for everything just so I can remember it. It has been that way for years. </p> <p>My first beloved kitty cat was Henry, over 15 years ago. My husband actually came up with the phrase years and years ago one day when he created a screensaver for me with the words Fathenry (remember when it was cool to have a word going across your screen? Long time ago!) </p> <p>I've always been afraid that people might think I have a bad body image though, because I never thought I would find myself posting on a fashion website!</p> <p>My real name is so unique that I feel a little weird putting it on the internet, although it seems really safe here so I've been tempted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-does-your-user-name-mean/page/2#post-107790 Wed, 25 Nov 2009 04:05:44 +0000 Maya 107790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tam, Blublockers are ugly sunglasses that used to sell on infomercials late at night. Incidentally, I never heard of them until my friend Kate, who also lives in Australia, bought a pair as a joke and created a whole photo album of her friends wearing them. It actually crossed my mind that maybe you and she know each other and she popped you in her 'blockers, but then I realized how stupid it would be for you to base your username on that...</p> <p>One year she ordered me a pair without telling me and you could only imagine the thrill of finding the mystery package and discovering its contents. They came with a free Blublocker calendar with these voluptuous pinup girls in skimpy clothes all sporting their Blublockers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-does-your-user-name-mean/page/2#post-107787 Wed, 25 Nov 2009 03:56:03 +0000 yublocka 107787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hehe interesting cross-reference Dawn! I wonder if the political party name is based on apples too. I am way more into food than politics </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-does-your-user-name-mean/page/2#post-107778 Wed, 25 Nov 2009 02:31:53 +0000 Dawn 107778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tam, I had made a spurious link between your name and 'yabloko' earlier this year when I was writing an essay about the Russian political party system as there is a Russian political party called Yabloko. I meant to ask you if there was a link but I never got around to it. I want to learn Russian eventually but I'm placing a priority on my Spanish and French for now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-does-your-user-name-mean/page/2#post-107746 Tue, 24 Nov 2009 22:02:52 +0000 RoseandJoan 107746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shiny, I thought your username was linked to REM track Shiny Happy People. The tune always pops in mind when I see one of your posts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-does-your-user-name-mean/page/2#post-107721 Tue, 24 Nov 2009 18:58:55 +0000 taylor 107721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Guess mine was a no brainer for me...I work at Ann* Taylor* a few hrs. a week:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-does-your-user-name-mean/page/2#post-107585 Mon, 23 Nov 2009 11:19:00 +0000 yublocka 107585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bingo Marianne! Are you Russian too? Sadly I don't anymore. Used to when I was younger but stopped lessons Now all I can say is hello, how are you etc and "I don't understand!". I would love to learn again, and tried a few years ago, but the grammar thoroughly confused me. All those "cases"!!!</p> <p>Maya I have never heard of BluBlockers I just wear cheap $5 sunnies from markets because I constantly break/scratch them!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-does-your-user-name-mean/page/2#post-107563 Mon, 23 Nov 2009 03:37:01 +0000 Maya 107563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tam, I thought your name was some spin on <a href="http://www.blublocker.com/">blue blockers</a>.</p> <p>I was curious about yours Sihaya. How pretty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-does-your-user-name-mean/page/2#post-107541 Mon, 23 Nov 2009 01:19:37 +0000 Sihaya 107541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mine is a character's name out of a book I had enjoyed a while ago and I loved the meaning of the word - means desert spring.</p> <p>LOP - I loved reading your blog about your mom.

Or at least in the clubs in our town Our whole team had nicknames, but mine just stuck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-does-your-user-name-mean/page/2#post-107421 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 21:20:44 +0000 Queen Mum 107421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>what fun it has been to get more of a glimpse into who you all are!<br /> shiny- I thought your name must have meant that you have the cleanest windows on the block </p> <p>thanks everyone for sharing your stories! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-does-your-user-name-mean/page/2#post-107379 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 16:17:24 +0000 Mellllls 107379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>a variation of my first name...not the most exciting thing </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-does-your-user-name-mean/page/2#post-107377 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 15:46:18 +0000 shiny 107377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For YLF purposes my nickname simply refers to my forehead. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-does-your-user-name-mean/page/2#post-107374 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 15:20:11 +0000 PalmFronds 107374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love these stories, how fun:-)</p> <p>My husband gave me mine years ago as a nickname. When we met my hair was very short but then started growing it out.Within months I had a crazy crop of hair that I refused to shape because I was a student on a VERY tight budget. You should see some of these pictures, good grief. Indeed, my head looked like a palm tree, and behold the endearing nickname palm fronds was born. I still sign it at the bottom of text messages to DH </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-does-your-user-name-mean/page/2#post-107355 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 11:40:16 +0000 yublocka 107355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marianna I thought if anyone got it it would be you.

Here's a bit of goofiness... I always thought your name was the slang-ish form of "you blogger". Like saying "yo' blogga!". It made total sense to me until today and now it feels silly to even have thought of that. :)</p> <p>BTW: I wrote down today about the the real "legacy" of pearl.

It's a internet name I picked well over 10 years ago and I've stuck with it. Not the easiest email address to share with other people, but I just cannot imagine giving it up now after all this time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-does-your-user-name-mean#post-107164 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 02:56:49 +0000 velvetychocolate 107164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I must admit - I'm very curious about 'shiny' too.
