<p>I also expected some names to appear from the Hitchiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, but those may show up after the movie’s out.</p>
<p>“EN JAY REZZ” I have an alternate favorite: Following closer inspection (and wearing of glasses) I have determined that user Ellen Mope is actually,
L-M-N-O-P !!! 
(Ellemenope)</p>
<p>Garland is Mom?!? I’m behind, do we have proof?;).</p>
<p>Sorry, “Kangel” and “misty” were firmly embedded in my mind… I will try to replace them with correct ones! </p>
<p>Fendergirl, I somehow knew it was a guitar not a car.</p>
<p>I had “mini” as a woman (thinking miniskirt) but have been corrected on earlier thread.</p>
<p>Susie-vermont is how I read that one, but NJRes I mentally got right.</p>
<p>Digimedia: actually, I pronounce it “mangrove throat-warbler.” “Thee” would be much too formal.</p>
<p>In terms of reading others, I’d been of the “Can-jel” persuasion.</p>
<p>I will have been on CC for two years tomorrow (just last night I went back and found my first post) and if I had realized I were going to be on this site for this amount of time, I would have put more thought into and picked something like CaptJackSparrow except that I don’t think “PotC” had been released yet. Or InigioMontoya. Or TheCheesemaker. Or <em>something</em> with a more dramatic flair.</p>
<p>Well, I know my user name is tough to pronounce but I like to give you all a challenge.
:)</p>
<p>For the longest time, Digmedia, I thought of you as “DIGI Media” because of your son’s interest in computers.</p>
<p>Fendergirl, glad you cleared that up because I was imagining something to do with cars.</p>
<p>I say SoozieVeet and I also picture Jamimom in her jammies. </p>
<p>Sea-Angel reminds me of the houses at Seaside in Florida.</p>
<p>Cheers always brings up an image of clinking champagne glasses. </p>
<p>Fundingfather is one of my favorites since I found out his son is at UPenn.</p>
<p>And Interresteddad is the most difficult to type so it gets shortened to ID, and then I think of Freud.</p>
<p>My name is straightforward : Lizshoop</p>
<p>Thedad,</p>
<p>Who is InigioMontoya?</p>
<p>I would like to have taken “Cheers” but it suits her more than it does me. And I have been calling our OP DigImedia all along. My eyes saw an “i” that was not there.</p>
<p>It’s definitely Can-gel in my mind, and Sea-Angel, I definitely couldn’t be any Mommier if I tried!</p>
<p>Garland was my Great grandmother’s maiden name. (Her first name was May–isn’t that cute?)</p>
<p>Great thread digimedia :)</p>
<p>Heh. I always thought of “soozievt” as “soozie-vet”.
“lderochi” is an amazing name.</p>
<p>Mine’s: gee-UH-knee-ev</p>
<p>[Thumps self in forehead] I just understood why you guys keep talking about Digi-media!!Duh!! Dig-media, as in Do you dig? or I really dig… I’m another soozie-vet person.</p>
<p>Lizschup - it is a small world, cangel has to do with my real name, but we spend 2 weeks a year at the real Seaside, we love the place - I may adopt that for my screen name. I’ll let TheDad tell you about the dashing Inigo and the 6-fingered man.</p>
<p>Right! Soozie-vet.</p>
<p>And I also alway read it as Digimedia, until one day recentlhy, I looked and thought, “oh, I get it; it’s Dig-media!”</p>
<p>“One day I will find this six-fingered man. And when I do, I will say, ‘I am Inigio Montoya. You killed my father. Now prepare to die.’”</p>
<p>lizchup - all this time, I was pronouncing your user name like it rhymed with “ketchup.”</p>
<p>gianievve - yours was like one of those names in a Russian novel that you see, you read, but your mind skips the pronunciation of.</p>
<p>Hi from Peru. I mean Ca. </p>
<p>I always say digi-media, cain-gle, suzie-viet (like viet nam, for some reason). I thought jamimom was Jami’s mom, and never got elemenope’s name but do now (l,m,n,o,p). Cool.</p>
<p>But what about marite (I mean, I know how to pronounce it, but is it your name or does it have a meaning to you?)</p>
<p>and lizchup… I pronounced it liz-chup. sorry</p>
<p>Mah-ree-tay?</p>
<p>This thread is giving me such a kick. Especially the momof2inca name. How could I have missed that??</p>
<p>My screen name is one I’ve used for about 15 years, referring to my tendency to act as den mother and hostess to a group of rowdy cruciverbalists and etymologists who met monthly in what were called “moots”, in honor of the EntMoots described in Lord of the Rings. It has nothing at all to do with the fact that I am a parent, nor any moot points. (It would have been “mootmother” but that wouldn’t fit in 8-character limits prevalent at the time.)</p>
<p>Had I any idea when I signed in here that so many people put “mom” or “dad” in their screen names, I might have cast about for something less predictable. But hey, at least you know if you see “mootmom” somewhere online or elsewhere (like on a car license plate), it almost certainly refers to me.</p>
<p>klooj, not kludj. Referring to the fine art of pounding a round peg into a square hole until it “fits.”</p>
