Re: What does your nick stand for?

Post by Zookeepertx »

Way back when, the first time I had to create a screen name, I tried a few things but they were already taken. So, I looked around at my 2 cats, 6 dogs and 2 horses and realized I kind of lived in a zoo, of sorts. Since I live in Texas, I tried to use zookeepertex but, strangely, that was taken too! Since I'm not creative enough to come up with anything else on the fly, I just took out the "e" in "tex" and there you go. Only later did I realize how difficult it was going to be to pronounce! Now I'm stuck with it.

Mine is pretty straight forward. I'm from Texas. I'm a cowgirl at heart. And I married a Jones. LOL

Mine comes from the fact I’m from Kentucky and went to EKU (Eastern Kentucky University) where the mascot is the Colonel, it’s not for KFC, XD

This is a fascinating thread! Nettle is a corruption of my name - Annette - and, when I first signed up with it originally on twitter, every variation I tried didn’t work. So someone suggested I use my birth year with it.

I’ve regretted it ever since. :eyeroll
