Mine comes from the nick name my dad gave me as a small child. He still calls me some form of Suzy, Suzy-Q or Sooz, but my real name is not reflected in there at all. I don't know how he chose it. The bad thing is my mother-in-law's name is Sue, so whenever someone calls her Suzy, I always authomatically respond(gotten a lot of strange looks over the years).

SIck as hell, but not taking this lying down. I'd like to bite every doctor that saw me over the past 20 years. Wouldn't really do it because they'd die trying to diagnose themselves.

Was a librarian in my healthier yrs. Green Darkness is a book I never read; picked it up at a yard sale. Seems appopriate for the green lyme and the darkness that seems to surround me now that I've dealt with all these lousy symptoms for over three yrs.

aklnwlf=Alaska Lone Wolf
What a great time I had reading about everyone's name.
Mine is my email name which I use surfing the web to keep things simple.
Lived in Alaska until Lyme came into my life and hope to return.
Had the great priviledge of seeing wolves in the wild traveling toward Denali (McKinley).
Struck by their grace and beauty. Hence the name.

This is interesting. I really liked AmIcrazy! Mine sounds self explanitory but actually not. I head up the fast pitch softball program in our district. I train year round. This year I have 44 girls age raging from 7 to 15. 3 teams. I have 4 assistants that help on the days that I am unable to make it. I coach the 13 to 15 year old team and assist on the 8 to 10 and 11 & 12. I Pitch train ages 5 to 7. I do all of this on a volunteer basis. Due to my health I am unable to play so this is how I stay in softball. Don't won't to give it up. I allso love the girls. We came in second in the leauge last year. Hope to be #1 this year.

Well my favorite herb (and luncheon restaurant) is Sweet Basil.
For decades I have told folks to "be wild" (meaning get the most out of life--think outside the box--push a few limits--dance on tables when the opportunity arrives, etc.)
So now that I have lyme disease, I long for being a wild thing again and even on bad days, I strive to stay wild.....
so be wild all, celebrate life and hug, cuddle and snuggle the ones you love cc

hee. I hadn't seen this post before. These are great.
When I was thinking up a screen name, my eyes lit upon the sock monkey sitting in my office. He's wearing a sort of vintage gold 'chain mail' dickey as a poncho
And I remembered my grandmother saying when we were sassy kids "no more of your monkeyshines!"
Hadn't thought of it in years!

I daycared for one of my nieces from when she was 8 months old to age 4....she couldn't say "Doreen" when she started talking so I became "auntdeen". Needed a screen name for eBay at that time so it was a natural. I use it for almost everything online, unless I'm in the mood to explain LegoLady, the only other nickname I've ever had (from the First Lego League teams/club that I've run).

Lyme, babesia and ehrlichia had me feeling pretty stuck for the last year...literally life as I had known it ended in May 2004 - so I decided to pick a name which conveyed this - word play on stymied...sty�mie also sty�my ( P ) Pronunciation Key (stm) tr.v. sty�mied, (-md) sty�mie�ing, also sty�my�ing (-m-ng) sty�mies (-mz) To thwart; stump: a problem in thermodynamics that stymied half the class.

When I came up with my screen name, I had a wonderful Somali cat named Tromba, so I was a Somali's mom. I ended up getting a second Somali, but Tromba always had an extra-special place in my heart. He was my soul-mate kitty and the absolute best furry nurse anyone could ever hope to know.
My special kitty passed away in October 2004. Even though I'm still cat-mom to a Somali, the screen name is bittersweet now.
Here's a pic of my sweet Tromba:

I was diagnosed in September (9) of 2000 (00). I think I was lucky, not to get lymes, but to be diagnosed right away. It was only about 2 or 3 days after I got really sick that the doctor at my walkin clinic said he wanted to test for lymes. I thought he was crazy at first. Then we found the rash. So be it.
Thus, luckyLD900

Sapphire is my real name.(just kidding) And no, I'm not 101 years old.
Actually, I was needing a screen name a few years ago and couldn't think of anything so I looked on my hand and hubby had just bought me a diamond and sapphire ring. So that's where Sapphire came from. As for the 101, just plain Sapphire was taken and 101 was the first number that I put in that wasn't taken.
I need a life, I have just spent an hour reading this whole thread but enjoyed every minute of it.

I've used Fairytale13 before and I like it. 13 is my birthday ( Was born on Fri 13th so watch out) and most days I wish I was living in a Fairytale instead of Lyme-world but hey we can't have it all! My signature is Hollywood because that's my nickname. My name is Holly and wood is a family name plus I do live in the woods far from CA!

I'm glad you clarified that last one, cause with brain fog here above santa cruz, it sounds like something sexual. Lyme can WHAT??
The way most of us feel with lyme, It's generally lyme CANT ----. Cause we cant leave the house first of all...
Anyway, my name is pretty obvious. I live at the top of a mountain, 12 miles outside of santa cruz, with three lovely children, a dog, 2 cats, 8 chickens, 2 goats, and no other adults. Oh, and my spelling is pretty much gone, so I mispelled moma (or is it momma ?)

It is mistaken for hiking trails. I was once in an awkward position of having to say my name when I didnt want to and saw a backpack that was made by TRAILS END. I told them that people just call me "trails." Now I use it for incognito times like the internet. I registered here as plain Trails in 2000, but I can't remember my password so I had to change it a bit.
Any oldies remember these names: APTOS, MAE, MA? They used to post lots back then.
PS:I do so like to hike but only in the desert where there are no ticks with LYME!

my nick is not very original, but it works. No my name is not sally.
My name is Sandra Lynne De Garcia which is a long name so I took the first 2 letters from each part of my name and it actually spelled something that sounded like a name.
Ive been using it for a few years now.
It was really funny to read this thread and see how everyone comes up with their names.

This was fun. Would like to meet the person from Houston. There arent very many Lymies in the Corpus Christi area. Rainbow, its kinda funny but i have had a conversation about rainbow bridge 3 times in the last two days. Anyway, Lemonhead. As i first signed on, i was feeling pretty sour and kinda pithy so lemonhead fit. Now the whole family calls me lemonhead. I thought about changing to Pointless2, cause my sisters and i sing and call ourselves the Pointless Sisters. I am the middle girl. Pointless2 would work cause with lyme much of the time you are pointless. But for now Lemonhead will stick cause it is 4:40 in the morning and cant figure out how to change the username. Lemonhead

I love this idea, Lymetoo, because as someone new, I've found myself imagining people as I read their posts.
In almost every case of generic kinds of names, I have ultimately ended up thinking the member was a different sex. Too funny...
My name's obvious. It's not my "real" name but it's a nickname even my friends use.

Mine to those that know me makes more sense than I care to claim. Before my lyme days, I worked in law enforcement (game officer, police officer) and my lifeblood was my ongoing coffee fix. (It didn't hurt that our county courthouse was between Starbucks, Seattle's Best and various latte vendors...You know what they do, the first one's free, THEN they gotcha! ) I was easy prey from the start.
When asked on medical exams for blood type...our nurse would joke " I know, dark roasted..." So, I 've since been labled as half human being and half coffee bean...(Been told the Betty Ford Clinic has a special program for folks like me...but as soon as someone brings in the Krispi Kremes, the group loses focus and heads to the nearest espresso stand and then it's all downhill from there....)
So, unfortunately...I've had to "curb" my habit since the lyme, but know don't know if I'm herxing or having caffeine withdrawals...
But don't worry about me...I've found new uses for those "drip" style coffee makers...just combined it with my PICC line and the world is now a better place.
Health and healing, JavaBeing

My name is Kelly. Here in Arizona, we had a long running (36 years) daily kids show with the original guys...Wallace and LADMO. The most prized possession in Arizona is to go on the show and receive your Ladmo Bag filled with sponsors stuff.
Well, it took me 30 years to finally win one. Ladmo called me Kelmo because I ended up being on the show five times that year. The show went off the air a few days after we were on. Ladmo passed away a few years after that. For anyone who grew up in Arizona, those were dark days.
Steven Spielberg grew up on the show and used to show his little films when he was a young teen. Alice Cooper is an avid fan, as is Stevie Nicks. It was more than a kids show, it was a Saturday Night Live for kids.
Anyway...I'm a big fan..hence the name Kelmo.

OKAY-so my parents were expecting their first child and she was to be born around Christmas time-hence the name Carol.
HOWEVER, there first child turned out to be a boy and he was born in January-hence the name Ron.
WHEN their second child was born and she was a she they just stuck to the name Carol even though she was born in August.
IRONICALLY, when Carol grew up and was expecting HER second child the baby was due on Christmas Day-which was actually a relief because Carol(that's me) did not want to be in the hospital on Christmas day and babies NEVER come on their due date-so I thought I was safe.
BUT as Christmas Day got closer and closer and I got more and more worried about delivering on Christmas Day I asked the midwife if the ole Casteroil (sp)remedy would work by kicking me into labor early so I could be home by Christmas.
She said give it a try-works 50% of the time. A week before Christmas I got up early on a Saturday morn and drank an entire bottle of Casteroil. By Saturday night I went to bed feeling like the world's biggest masochist because it had been the ****tiest day of my life!!!!!!
Christmas Eve I went into labor, and my darling baby girl, named Carolyn, was born on Christmas Day-just as God had planned because my father had died on Christmas day when I was just a wee lass.
Life/Death the world goes round and round .
So did that make an extraodinary story for an ordinary screen name ?-cause it's all true.

First you guys are so creative so mine is kind of stupid but here it goes...
dual meaning...tick it out...
first I was horrified by more tick bites and wanted them out of my body.
second...I just want a ticket out of this non ending horrific ride..please Mr. conductor stop the train and let me off. Is it the end of the line yet?
Want my life back!!

Sometimes Dilly, because on many days Lyme makes me so different as a person that I don't recognize myself.
I named that unrecognizable person Dilly way before I knew I had lyme. On some days now I feel more of myself, so it is with optism I call myself (only)

Five years of karate before 6 weeks of training and a 5 hour black belt test and that was the 40 and over people.
My daughter took her first degree and it was 9 hours long - almost no resting.
Second degree was more about maturity and discipline and time put in.
In our school - there's no 1 year black belt that so many in this country give out for the sake of making money.
Doing all of this with lyme disease was a very personal challenge for me. Many days I've been in class feeling like I can't do another kick but I kept going. Of course, nobody understands lyme except our friends on this board and my sweet husband.
The reward has been extra special for me and has kept me in good shape and eating properly (who wants to work out with a stomach ache )
