It was a nickname my friend gave me in 5th grade...

[moonfroggy]

i have a pet frog named moonfroggy i like the name heard it once and forgot i heard it gave the name to the frog then used it as a handle online then remembered that someone in high school had a friend named moonfroggy.

[indysteel]

I missed this thread back in May, but found it in an effort to answer somebody's question about changing their screen name.

Indysteel refers to Indianapolis, which is where I lived when I first joined. I was/am rather independent, so there was that, too. Steel refers to my steel Bianchi.

In September of 2009, I moved to a town a bit south of Indy, and was riding a titanium bike that the time. FranklinTi just didn't do it for me though. Now I'm back to the Bianchi, too, but FranklinSteel also sounds stupid. I'll just stick to Indy/Indysteel.

[hebe]

Hebe was my first cat, and is also a great character in a Mary Wesley novel (Harnessing Peacocks). Plus a pretty flower.

[azfiddle]

I thought I had responded to this thread- guess not. I live in Arizona and I play the fiddle, so I use it for my identity here and elsewhere.

[Trek420]

I'm not named for drugs, really! This was not my first bike but my first "serious road bike", a '97 Trek 420, green to purple fade paint job. Previous bikes were a Raleigh 3 speed, then a Gitane, then a Mercien ... I'd gotten it a year or so before joining here. It was lifted from inside my home shortly after joining I hate bike theives! So if you see it out there hold the crook down while you PM me.

Sometimes I consider changing "my name" to one of my new bikes.

[ciao_bella]

I'm first generation Italian. My parents immigrated here in 1948. My Grandparents/Aunts/Uncles followed shortly thereafter. Therefore I grew up immersed in all things Italian.....I can't seem to shake it off.....not that I really want to.

Ciao = hello/goodbye in Italian
Bella = Beautiful

Growing up in my large extended family, my aunts & uncles always called us nieces "Bella", as a term of affection.

It's just an expression that I've always liked.

I signed up here back when I rode a Surly Pacer. I moved on to a different bike, but I haven't figured out how to change my user id on here.
