What does your screen name mean?

A friend of mine on the Guatemala board said they did this and that it was fun. Some names are self explanatory, but there are some that I am sure have some meaning....

Mine is Kenzseth. My dd is Makenzie and my ds is Seth. Hope people don't read it and think that I am a Nascar far...not that there is anything wrong with Nascar .

Emmaline Lola

I have a 5 pound toy Yorkshire Terrier named Emmaline, and a 5 pound toy Chihuahua named Lola! They each have their own baby playpens that they sleep in and are in when we are out of the house!

Well, of course my name is Marsha so thats the basics of it. No one in real life has ever called me Marshie but it seems like most of the time when I make friends online they end up calling me that. Also, I don't know if any of you have ever seen the homestar runner cartoons but there is a Marshmellow on there named Marshie and he cracks me up. I'm puffety! In fact, i think I have a marshie icon I can maybe use on here

Fun idea - I have had people ask me if I'm a Jet fan... I'm not! Not really much into sports at all. Actually, this nickname came about after my best friend in high school saw an episode of "The Wonder Years" in which I think the older brother kept calling the main character Kevin "Kev-Bo." The next day in school, my friend started calling me Jenny Bo, and it stuck. Then we started abbreviating it "Jen-E-Bo" in the notes we'd pass in class. So "E" sort of became my middle name (I don't really have one) and my last name starts with T, and therefore my initials become JET! So there you have it! Weird, I know!

Our last name Cappello translates to "HAT" in Italian. I have always loved the name Brynn which translates to "COAT". So i told my husband we should name the baby Brynn Ann Cappello, which translates to Coat Ann Hat, Coat AND Hat..
