What does it MEAN??

[firenze11]

Mine is from my favorite city in the world (so far) - Florence. I like to pretend I'm Italian. In reality I'm a blonde, very very pale Heinz 57, not that there's anything wrong with that, of course. And 11 for my lucky number. Born on the 11th day of the 11th month in '83 and 8+3=11.

It is nice to learn what they mean from you all.

OMG! I just added up my birthdate and it adds up to 11, too!

I was born on the 11th day of the FIRST month. 1-11-62.

How weird.

[Tuckervill]

re my screenname...

I've been using the same name since 1994 or 1995? My first AOL address--back in those days, you could only have 10 characters, thus, no E. Tuckervill is my little fiefdom, here, wherever I hang my hat. I can't imagine ever changing it, really.

I was Tuckervill before Tanya Tucker, I can tell ya that!

Mine is simple:

Aggie= I am a Texas A&M Aggie.
Ama= a family nickname from my brother when we used to bowl. He pronounces it Ah-m-a. Many of those close to me don't even use my full name.

Funny how things work out like that, huh? My parents were born on 12/13 and 1/12 which makes it even weirder.

I make good compost.

Hey, me too! first day of 10th month, 10/1/56, 5+6 = 11 (a fiscal new year baby, born to be a bureaucrat)

SPOOKY! divingbiker, we have the same birthday and... 10/1/74, 7+4=11

Anyway, mine is Dr. Seus: Cindyloo(who).

[CyclaSutra]

I wrote an "Excursion" column for my newspaper (regular columnist flaked on me) about commuting to work 10 miles with studded tires at 10 below zero. I said something to the effect of how frigid it was when in the shade of the hill, and when the sun came over the butte "it felt like a climax."

A smarta$$ acquaintance wrote a letter to the editor saying he had bicycled for fitness, transportation and enjoyment for 30 years but never had a climax, maybe he should "ask the CyclaSutra" how.

My editor banned the word "climax" from an excursions after that. But I thought it was hilarious.

This is my favorite explanation so far. Queen's is a very close second.

[Popoki_Nui]

Popoki = cat in Hawai'ian. Nui means 'big', 'many', 'great' throughout Polynesia. I'm big and adore cats (I also have, and have had many cats), hence....Popoki Nui. Elsewhere in the Pacific, cat is "Pusi". Pusi Nui just sounded.....wrong somehow.

edit; not Polynesian myself, but i've travelled some out there and love to study the culture and languages.

[Raindrop]

I reside in the Pacific Northwest...hence the name. At the time (about a dozen forums ago), I thought it was kind of trite. Now, I kind of like it and have included it into my business name.
