Just for fun. Why your member name?

When I was little, my father used to take us to a small bungalow near the beach, and he stayed in the city working, just seeing us on the weekends. He bought a small used wooden sailboat (minus the sails) and used it to take us out fishing, he always said that it was broad in the beam and very seaworthy. He named the boat SeaBreeze, and I used the name to honor his memory, and it brings back good feelings of my childhood. :sentimental:

That's a nice story.
 
I first saw the movie "The Wizard of Oz" on TV in 1957 when I was 6 years old. Presumably little girls are supposed to identify with Dorothy but I was totally enthralled with the Glinda character. I fantasized that she would come to my little town and take me away in the bubble she could float anywhere. I loved her fluffy pink dress, her sparkly crown and, most of all, the fact that she could wave her magic wand and make everyone safe and happy. I wanted to be Glinda, Jr. - just like her. Over the years I've seen the movie many times and, like many people, have memorized most of the dialog. I'll always love Glinda. :love_heart:

Did you see Wicked? OMG... I loved it and saw the play three times...

I haven't seen it. Someone told me it might make me love Glinda less. Will it? (Don't tell me the story!)

Don't do it, Glinda. Dreams are fragile. "Oz" was my son's favorite movie and book growing up. I just looked up Glinda on the Web, and they are putting a whole new slant on her in "Wicked". The original movie was great fun and still is, if you don't start worrying about all of the politically incorrect stuff. Live with your memories.

I posted a similar question, Jim .. I used my name that my grandparents called me I guess they made it up from my Christian name and surname as a child which was Kay Dunn ....... Kadee
 
Vaguely remembered a "ditty" involving 'susie', and brought to life by a famous personality (I think).

From childhood I was always fascinated by the character Merlin in the Arthurian legends, and aspire to some of his traits, though I feel I have probably taken on his less favourable ones :devilish:


The Many Faces of Merlin

Merlin is one of the most fascinating figures in the Welsh literature and the Arthurian legend. Merlin is a man of mystery and magic; contradiction and controversy surrounded his life.

Merlin wore many hats: he was a wizard or sorcerer, a prophet, a bard, an adviser and a tutor. He appeared as a young boy with no father. He appeared as an old, wise man, freely giving his wisdom to four successive British kings. He was dotting old fool, who couldn't control his lust over beautiful women, who hold him in fear and contempt. He had even appeared as a madman after bloody battle, and had fled into the forest and learned how to talk to the animals, where he became known as the Wild Man of the Woods. Merlin was the last of the druid, the Celtic shaman, priest of nature, and keeper of knowledge, particularly of the arcane secrets.

In the work, titled Historia regum Britanniae ("History of the Kings of Britain", c. 1137), Geoffrey of Monmouth wrote that he was a son of a nun and grandson of the King of Demetia in southern Wales. As to his father, he was either a devil or an incubus. Merlin is a paradox, he was the son of the devil, yet he was the servant of God.
 
I cheated also. :) Everything I thought of, I didn't like so I did a Google search for usernames. I found a web site that generates them. It showed a list and AprilSun jumped out at me because it is April and yesterday the sun was shinning which it hasn't been doing much of lately.
 
I used to have the user name Mzungu. It's Swahili for 'foreigner' but usually refers to white person. It's common in many countries in Africa, even those that don't speak Swahili, like Uganda. I began to feel it was name after a few months living there, always hearing 'mzungu, how are you?'.

OH mine is a very boring story Jim..I've been on interent forums for many years almost always with the same user name, and when I joined SF I was a moderator of another forum , so I didn't want to use the same ID ..so trying to think of a name that wasn't already in use, I glanced out the window into the garden and the first thing I saw was my Holly Tree...just replaced tree with a rhyming word and there we have it..HollyDolly it has been ever since..

Holly, I assumed Holly was your real name. It suits you perfectly and you remind me of a dear friend whose name is Holly. Now my brain is confused. It will take a while to get over this :confused: . . .:)
 
My first experience with a computer, years ago, I had joined a couple forum-talk sites. I was still working and I thought that something in reference to the bread man business would be appropriate. I came up with the handle, Hot Buns.

Well I'll leave the rest up to you to figure out, but I didn't last long on those sites.
