Bonsoir brothers & siters members of TOOA,

Today the question is :

Why did you choose your nickname?
What does it for you?

Mes hommages.

Well, the werewolf is because, as I've mentioned in many other posts, the werewolf is my favorite \"monster.\" (Personally I don't think of them as monsters but that's just me.) The cem bit is my initials before I got married. I've been using it for quite some time.

My username comes from what they called me in (terrible!) highschool. Janelle is my real name; they added the \"Hell\" part, as an insult. So, I \"reclaimed\" it :woohoo:

My nickname is actually what I call my daughter. She answers to scootie, and the bee started out at short for biscuit, but got shortened to bee. I called her scootie when she was little, and my husband called her bee, so scootiebee. Not really appropriate to call myself that, but when I signed up for gmail years ago, my regular name I had had for email for years was already taken, so I had to pick something else. It was all I could think of. Before that I was shakti, which means the delusion that is life. But my real name is Laura.

That's really sweet!
I'm Aftermidnight because... It sounded good and dark to me. I got the idea from the band London After Midnight, but they aren't one of my favourites, I just really like the name.
But at college, we all have hoodies with nicknames on the back. And because my real name is Liam... Mine says MausoLiam!

Nocturnal-pet is a nickname I have been using for long time now.
It came to exist from the words: \"Yö eläin\" which was something I were (and still am) called by my friends and family. It means, roughly translated to english, \"Night animal\", but since it sounded in my ears weird, I changed the words to something similar. (night became nocturnal, and animal became pet)
