Lets share what our usernames mean here on the ledge

my username

WelcomeChris

I joined the ledge the day christine rejoined, and I was so excited and not paying enough attention I wrote "WelcomeChris" instead of "WelcomeBackChris" oh well.

My name is actually Joe Seerg by the way

Nice thread Joe.Its great to get to share how we came up with our user names.

[moon]

Well, my username has an story...
There's a song of Jamiroquai called "Mr. Moon", and I used that name to write some letters to a girl I really loved. She was my first love, even when then everything went from bad to worse, and nothing happened between us...
After that, I used only "moon" for every username, in forums, msn, twitter...my name is Marcos, in english is Mark, but obviously, you can call me simply "moon".
Nice thread, interesting stories!
Regards!

[chiliD]

the "D" is my last name initial. My last name is Denison.



Since there's no way of knowing spelling when said verbally, back in Jr High (or Middle School as they're known by today) I got the nickname "Chili". Why?

And...the rest is history.

[singertobe]

I got my username because I want to be a famous singer someday. (And it'd be so cool if Stevie were a fan of me)

My real name is Leanna.

[FuzzyPlum]

It came from a discussion about potential band names many years ago when I was still at school. That potential name; The Fuzzy Plums' always stuck in my head for some reason.
Just terrible at coming up with user names so that was all I could think of.

That must be a west coast thing, Steve, because I've never seen that brand.

I HATE my name here. 11 years ago, I watched a lot of The Simpsons. And Christine is my favorite member. She's still my favorite, but I HATE the Homer part of my name.:distress:

That looks good for some supper .

My mom gave me my name of Skip probably because I loved Skippy peanut butter when I was a tot.I do love peanut butter.

[WildHearted]

A rather obvious reference to Stevie's 2nd album/the title track of said album.

[HelloMonster]

At the time, I liked Hello Kitty, and I considered myself one of Lady Gaga's Little Monsters. Combine the two, and you get a pretty unoriginal, uninspired username :laugh:. Couldn't think of anything. I didn't want to use my unique name, for privacy's sake, I am the only person in the US with my first and last name.


Of course I have plenty of username ideas now.

Thank you! I appreciate my name now, but I used to get pretty upset when I was younger, never being able to find things with my name on it. :laugh:

[louielouie2000]

My name is Louie, and everyone has sung that awful Kingston Trio song Louie Louie to me all my life. The 2000 is in reference to the year I graduated high school.

Louie Louie is by The Kingsmen. John Stewart must be rolling over in his grave knowing you think his band sang that song.:xoxo::laugh:

Well now I'll have that song stuck in my head all night. Thank you. :laugh:

[vivfox]

From 1996 until 2012 I had a female crush on Vivica A. Fox. She even exchanged a few twitter posts with me, but over time my infatuation faded.

[saintbernard]

I chose my username because from 1997 through 2011 I raised St. Bernard dogs. My last Saint, Max, passed on December 12, 2011. There isn't a day goes by that I don't think about and miss every single Saint I've ever had the pleasure of welcoming into my life. I hope to have Saint Bernard's again at some point because I sure do miss them!

Right now, I have a German Shepherd Dog, Fifty who is a rescue. He got his name because a soldier at the local army base found him wandering on the fifty caliber firing range. He tried finding his owners and when he couldn't kept him. In September of 2012 his orders were changed and he couldn't keep Fifty anymore so he needed to find a new home for him. I can't imagine not having him as he's brought so much happiness into this house which we all desperately needed as the past couple of years have been disastrous for us.

I also have a Golden Retriever/St. Bernard mix, Lucy. She's been with me for 10 years now and is also a rescue. She had heartworms when I got her and she came through all of that treatment with flying colors. When my house burned in early 2012 I lost four dogs and two cats. Miss Lucy was the only one of my pets I was able to get out of the house with. She's my special baby as we've been through so much together. My dogs are like kids to me. :nod:

I'm Jennifer. Some of the long timers here might know me from back in my trading days and from when I worked on the web site I used to have. I have gone by "saintbernard" pretty much anywhere I registered related to FM/SN and even at a few other sites. :wavey:

She is beautiful.I have to say.

Its like me with Olivia Newton John back in 1975.Stevie hopped in around 1977.
later was the Judds in the 1980's.

The other Louie song that drove my sisters friend which his name is Louie nuts was from the 1970's tune from the Stories - "Brother Louie."

My Dad had a St Bernard named Alfie back in the 1970's.Born in 1971 .He had a very long life for a dog that size.He died in the early 1980's.I remember when I used too walk him.He walked me.LOL..........

That reminds me .I got to take my daily walk......At midnight .:shocked:

1975? I thought Grease came out in '78

[HomerMcvie]

Louie Louie is by The Kingsmen. John Stewart must be rolling over in his grave knowing you think his band sang that song.:xoxo::laugh:

+10!

(10 GD characters)

[Japhry]

I created "Japhry" from the character "Japhy Ryder" in Jack Kerouac's 1960's book "The Dharma Bums". Someone once asked me if it was really my name and I once said yes LOL. My name is actually Justin btw.

[madeline]

My real name is Debbie. I go by the name Madeline after the character in Death becomes her. Madeline Ashton. That is one movie I can say my whole family loves, even my husband. Bruce Willis was priceless in that movie. Oh and I go by Ernest Menville on photobucket.

[louielouie2000]

I knew I was wrong as soon as I hit the submit button. In any event, it's a freaking awful song that I've had sung to me nearly every day of my life. :laugh:

[vivfox]

1975? I thought Grease came out in '78

Your reaction to Skips infatuation with ONJ made me laugh because Olivia was a huge star long before Grease arrived in the theaters.

[lovethemac1]

Great idea for a thread!
When I turned 13, my dad took me shopping for my first album. I knew right away which one I wanted to get......Rumours. It had just come out 9 months before and was everywhere on the radio. We would spend our summers at the lake, and my neighbors (cousins) would put their stereo speakers in the window of their cottage and blast Rumours out onto the front rock. We would dance in the water, on the dock, in the boat, and on the big rocks.....all in the hot sunshine, or in the evening while swatting mosquitos around a bonfire. It was pure summer bliss.
Ever since I got that album, Fleetwood Mac has been my favorite band of all time. I would follow the gossip about the members, and remembering being mortified that Stevie would get together with Mick. Her and Lindsey were meant to be together, so what on earth was happening???????
My love for them just steadily increased over the years, and when The Dance came out, I stood up at yelled at the TV for Stevie and Lindsey to just get it together. That was the year my first child was born, and I was an overtired and emotional mess.
My children have been exposed to lot's of music in our household, but none as much as Fleetwood Mac. About 4 years ago, my son made my contact information on his phone with the title- lovethemac. It's stuck ever since. Even my husband refers to me at times with that name. And my kids still call me it ALL the time. Funny thing is, the abuse I would get from everyone about my love of FM over the years was unending, groans and moans when they would come on the radio in the car, groans and moans when I would have them on the stereo at home, etc., etc. But.............
Guess who's coming to the next FM concert tour with us????????? My son really wanted to come, and my daughter is going with a friend who's father is taking them to the box seats that he has. My daughter groans with the fact that people recognize her as a potential FM lover because of her mother. HAHA.
The 70's live strong and true in our household!!
My name is Kathy, and this is my story.

[chiliD]

That must be a west coast thing, Steve, because I've never seen that brand.

Hmmm...may be kind of spotty, because my East Coast cousins had to put up with the same sh*t as I did.

That looks good for some supper .

Not a big fan of that brand of chili. Prefer Stagg's or in a pinch, even Hormel.

(But, preferably, when I have the time, I like to make my own....which I guess would be "Denison's Chili"...or "Chili's Chili" :) )

Yes .Home made is the best.I miss my moms cooking.

[Macfanforever]

Yes .Ms Olivia been around way before Grease .

She was on Aussie TV around the mid 1960's.TV specials in the mid 1970's. She hit the charts in 1971.

Now it looks like Taylor Swift is ditched country music for pop like Olivia did in the 1980's.

No way Taylor can fill Olivia's shoes or anybody elses shoes from that generation.


Wow .Olivia has 1980's Stevie hair in the photo below.

I wish Olivia toured more like Stevie does.I've first seen her live in 1977 pre-Grease era concert and some shows in the 2000's.

She is still a doll.

[estranged4life]

meaning, but it seems somewhat true to me...

Kinda funny, but Debbie was the one who added the 4life to the username when I first registered to be online in the mid 90's...

[becca]

Nothing wrong with liking OLJ... I think I have everything in some form from the Toomorrow LP circa 1968 to MP3s of Xanadu (with E.L.O.). Great singer! I still like Kylie Minogue a lot too...

Loved your story.

[lovethemac1]

Loved your story.

Thank you very much!

[sorcerer999]

My username "story" is boring.

Sorcerer because I was OBSESSED with the song and accompanying music video when it was released in 2001.

I still like it and appreciate it but it has dwindled as one of my favorites.

999 ~ because from a very early age, I have been fascinated and obsessed by the number 9. It seems to follow me everywhere. Usually my favorite tracks on my favorite albums tend to be the 9th track. September is the 9th month, and I met Stevie on September 9th. I could go on and on about the number 9 appearing in various forms throughout my life.

I suppose I chose 3 "nines" because it's an upside down 666. I'm not particularly religious but I'm no Satan worshiper either.

[Jondalar]

One of my favorite novels is Clan of the Cave Bear. Jondalar is a name of one of the main characters. Always really liked that name.

[nicole21290]

Mine's incredibly detailed and complicated...

Nicole is my name. 21/2/90 is my birthdate. Oh, that's February 21st for the Americans, btw, since you insist on having the wrong dating system. ;)

Nicole, we share the same birthday!!! :D

Except I'm...shall we say...quite a lot OLDER than you! :laugh:

[MoonSister75]

Mine's incredibly detailed and complicated...

Nicole is my name. 21/2/90 is my birthdate. Oh, that's February 21st for the Americans, btw, since you insist on having the wrong dating system. ;)

Yes that difference in dating systems gets very confusing :shrug: You were born in 1990! That makes me feel old...sigh....


My username comes from my favourite FM performance - "Sisters of the Moon" from the Mirage video. It's an incredible piece of footage, and I just love the intensity from the whole band. The song itself is also pretty amazing - powerful, feminine and capable of reaching dark places :nod:. I much prefer this live version to the Tusk album version.

It also seemed an appropriate name as they played SOTM last year on tour. I was so pleased when Stevie turned to the part of the audience where I was sitting, and sang a "Sister!!......" - shivers....

Oh and I love the moon and I was born in 75 :)

[becca]

The number 9 seems to be a very important number in a new tv series called Intruders. It was also a former address of one of the Beatles (Ringo I think) and so was chanted in one of the stranger tracks on The White Album. 1975 was the year FM's own white album came out (and Rhiannon-mania poised to smash into a generation of impressionable girls looking for empowerment).

[nicole21290]

Nicole, we share the same birthday!!! :D

Except I'm...shall we say...quite a lot OLDER than you! :laugh:

Ha, nice. :)

And it's bound to happen since I'm so youthful and all. *flicks hair back* Honestly, though, I go on tumblr and I feel like I'm about ready for the retirement home because I'm so old in comparison to some kids online there. And then I go to school and teach kids born after 2000 who are in high school and that's just... WHAT. :D

[lazy poker]

hi, y'all!
my username story is a quite obvious one and rather short: "mr. wonderful" is the album that got me hooked on fleetwood mac (in general) and peter green (specificly) in the first place. and "lazy poker blues" is one of the key tracks responsible for that.
well . . . that's about it. :shrug:
martin

[nicepace]

I'm a runner, and sometimes when I'm in a road race a spectator will shout out "nice pace"! When I went on line for the first time (in 1996) I needed an AOL screen name and I chose "nicepace." I have been "nicepace" ever since then in any internet setting where a screen name is required. My personal website is even nicepace.net.

[Rod~A~Little]

My name is Rod...shocker! I'm an aspiring artist and have been working on my debut album. In the studio, in between recording, I would blast Stevie's Rock A Little album for my producer any chance I could get. (Which I have now turned him into a fan)
So, when I decided to join The Ledge, he suggested Rod~A~Little.
:D

[PenguinHead]

My user name was inspired by devoted fans of the Grateful Dead, who call themselves Dead Heads. Since penguins have been a recurring image with Fleetwood Mac, I paired the two together. On this forum we are Ledgies, but otherwise, I am a devoted PenguinHead.

My name is Vin (short for Vincent). I was named for a great uncle whose airplane disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle in the 1940s. I only have one picture of him, and I eerily bear a strong resemblance to him.

[mitzo]

My real name is really ordinary, a kind of John Smith type of name. Mitzo was the nickname of my first real boyfriend, in Greece many many many years ago. I kept playing the Tusk album on cassette around that time...

[Frankenstein]

I'm an avid fan of horror films.. the first username I wanted exceeded the character limit, so "Frankenstein" randomly popped into my head and I thought it was appropriate.

[~*BellaDonna*~]

Well, I'm sure you all can tell what mine means. ;)

[redbird]

Well, I like the song "Blue Letter". And it's not written by any of the band's songwriters, so I felt I could abstain from choosing sides this way.

[StillOfTheNight]

My username simply comes from one of my favorite Stevie songs "How Still My Love"

In the still of the night... how still my love haha
