Yes, Lorrie, I'll start and am glad you asked. Mine is the name given to me by my mother at birth. But, I might change it. My screen name, not my name.
Contrary to some people's beliefs, I have been one name and one name only. It is very cryptic and I cannot reveal it's essence. Doing so will unleash the contents of Pandora's Box.
Mine also has canine significance. Whirlwind was my "kennel" name for my one and only litter of Weimaraners, and is in memory of my best baby boy, Whirlwind's Jack of Hearts.

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 05-04-05 AT 06:36AM (CST)[/font][br][br]I chose LarryC because I know a guy and his name is LarryC who is the most intelligent, good looking, fantastic person I've ever met and I just wanted to use his name and hopefully be like him someday. I'm almost there too except for the intelligent, good looking, fantastic part.
Skylyon is based from two different things. I have blue eyes like the sky. My sign is a leo and lion is another name for leo so that is where I came up with Skylyon.
Y'all remember the mini lecture on Zen drywall? Almost anything, if done in the proper frame of mind, can be turned into a lesson or an opportunity for reflection...I try to learn as much as I can. Former co-workers used the name as a joke - my new co-workers have decided to call me J-Wo. Go figure.
My first name is Shelby, which is what I go by most of the time. But I was named after my dad, so my mother never called me Shelby, and instead I grew up as Lorrie (short for my middle name Lorraine.) After I moved away to college I started going by my first name, which I love. So I will answer to both names.

If I had known this question was going to come up I'd have picked a snazzier name. Mine is simply first initial and last name. Maybe I should change it to hrgoddess, or maybe sheenaqueenofhr (nope, too long).
Linda, see if those are already used... There's a lot of HR royalty out there.
HRQ = Human Resources Queen (Somebody else already used HR Queen)
In a past life, I was often called the "queen" of stuff: colored paper, colored ink pens (no black/blue allowed) etc. I was then dubbed the Queen of all that is HR, which evolved into HR Queen. I've also been called HR Empress, and High Priestess of HR. Probably been called all sorts of things that I wouldn't use as a screen name. x:-8
I certainly do not consider myself royal enough to hold court over my highly esteemed Forum friends, however... x:D
When I first signed up for a computer service at home, my daughter gave me the name of Whatever (which sounded a lot better than some of the other names I've been called).
Well my first name is Judy, believe it or not, and my (current) last name starts with a 'T'; and my birthday is September 29 aka 9/29. Guess I wasn't feeling too clever the day I signed on here.

Keeping the low profile was supposed to minimize the target opportunities.
That part did not work as well as I had hoped.
