Not terribly interesting - but I joined the forum just a few days before we received our referral. We did not specify gender but had decided that regardless the baby would be named in honor of our respective maternal grandmothers who are longer with us - Claire and Eva. So, his/her initials would definitely be "CEB". Two days later - along came Curtis Evan!!!

Well....

Both my husband and I love the beach.
We had both of our bio daughters on the beach by 2 months old (not in the blazing sun -- I'm a melanoma survivor, so very aware of sun damage ....), but beachbaby seemed appropriate.

Scary enough, we have 2 other screen names (for yahoo, guatadopt, etc), ocbum207 (which is our condo unit for our Ocean City NJ beach house) and luvthebeach ... self explanatory.

Cute idea for a thread!

Nothing exciting about mine

It is my first and middle name with the number 3. I used it because it is part of my e-mail address...easy to remember!

One of my favorite movies is "The Outlaw Josey Wales," w/Clint Eastwood. But I'm a girl, so I spelled my screen name Josie instead.

Kraf was/is a nickname from my brothers. When the "Craftmatic Adjustable Bed" commercials started airing on TV in the early 80's they created yet another nickname.

Yes, my brothers are weird.
