Ok i know it as nothing to do with pole but i'm so curious, especially after running into... Roadkillgerbil 😲 😂 So i'm making this post just to know a little more about you if you agree to share it. Tell us the story behind it! Let's start with me...i'm a big fan of Winnie the Pooh and even more Tigger (got a thing for bad boy 😉 )but it was already taken when i open my hotmail, so i choose tiggertail. I think it goes well with my new pole hobby because i really need energy to ''jump and fly'' all over the place 😀

Hi, well i chose mine because i was born and raised in california that is home to me so i picked cali for short! 😀
ottersocks · 8/9/2010
Cute idea! Mine was stolen from my husband. It was his YT name, and one day I wanted to watch a video (waaaaaay back before I started poling), needed to sign in, and used his. Then I just kinda TOOK it! As for how he came up with it....he has no idea, just thought it was cute. 🙂

I love nickname stories!! 😂 My nickname has a few stories behind it, My names is samantha and eveyone used to always mention Samantha from Bewitched When I would tell them my name. I became a big fan of the re-runs on nick at night for a long time. A few years ago, When I began dancing at a club I had to choose my stage name. I wanted something easy for my real friends to remember when they were coming to pick me up and give me a ride home. I didn't have a car, And they would have to tell the bouncer my stage name when they arrived to pick me up. Since most of my friends knew I was a fan of bewitched, I chose Tabbitha. In the show, Tabbitha was Samantha's daughter...so It was easy for everyone to remember both names....I even had some girls at the club who knew my real name and immediately would be like, "That's funny! You're real name is samantha and your stage name is tabbitha, LIKE BEWITCHED!!!" lol! So Tabbycat is like a nickname for Tabbtiha.... An there it is~! How I chose my new pole sn!! 😀

Meleania · 8/10/2010
When I was 11 and started playing Everquest 1 I made my first wood elf druid, I didnt know what to name her, then I sounded out 'Mel.....ea....ni...a' tada! literally just made it up like that (Mel-lay-nee-uh). Im the only meleania ive come across to date, and if you find someone with that name on another site, chances are its me. my real name is Aubree though =D
minicoopergrl · 8/10/2010
ive been a mini cooper enthusiast since I was a kid. It was the only car I ever wanted. I have so much collectible stuff on it its crazy. So when it was time to create a myspace (yeah im taking it back that far) and you needed a url I chose minicoopergrl. I took out the I to make it look cute. So now everytime I post anything on any board I am minicoopergrl. And yes if your wondering I do drive a mini cooper as well!

Roadkillgerbil · 8/10/2010
Wow. A post in my honour. 😀 I'd better hope my story lives up to it now. 😳 I did say there was alcohol involved, yeah? I was at a club chatting to a lesbian friend of mine and a male friend. The conversation turned (as it does remarkably often) to sex, and specifically the way men frequently claim that they want to watch lesbian sex. I think I said that what they actually mean is that they want to watch bisexual sex, 'cos they always have this vague hope of being invited in. The guy agreed with me in that wonderfully considered way the only utterly inebriated can manage and said, again as if imparting great wisdom, "Yes. I mean, lesbian sex, it's a bit like seeing your ideal gerbil... as roadkill." The other girl and I stopped abruptly and sort of looked at each other. Slightly hesitantly she asked "Do you mean <insert name of breed of small rodent here. I was too drunk/intruiged to pay much attention to specifics>?" His voice was completely shocked as he replied "God, no. That's a hamster!!" 🤔 The very next day I had to find a new username (for LJ, IIRC) and the only thing I could think about was this completely random conversation. So, yes, I am a euphamism for lesbian sex. What can I say? as with so much that I do, it seemed like a good idea at the time. 😂

PennyGirl · 8/10/2010
Well many of my friends have called me penny since High school. When I was in high school, I used to color my hair FIRE red. Of course if you have ever bleached and colored your hair red, you now it never stays red. After a while it would turn brassy copper and everyone started calling me penny because that's what my hair looked like, a shiny copper penny. Penny is always taken so I chose pennygirl cuz it's cute I guess. Although my hair isn't copper anymore, I stuck with the name because I will answer to it lol.
PennyGirl · 8/10/2010

Bex · 8/10/2010
I am a Sign Language Interpreter (Terp) and the 258 is actually a play-on-words in sign meaning "interesting" I use it as my handle for almost everything because I know it is always available and I guess I was feeling uncreative when I joined SV. 🤔 Hindsight, I should have come up with a stripper name of something.
yogabeachbabe · 8/10/2010
This thread is so cute and interesting. I really love hearing everyone's stories! I used to be a Yoga instructor and I used to live on South Beach (FL). I think I had wanted Yogababe for an email account but it was already taken, so I inserted the "beach" part so it could be read as either Yogababe or Beachbabe. But really, my name is Sasha, which actually sounds more like an exotic dancer's name than yogabeachbabe!

Finreah · 8/10/2010
My nickname came from a mmorpg( massive mutiplayer online role playing game) Everquest I created like 7 chars and never liked any of their names and so I said fine this will be the last ,Fin. I added reah so it would sound more feminine and for a long time my name was Finreah Guerriere. literally the last warrior. 🙂
TwistedGripKristy · 8/10/2010
koi for the tattoo I have on my back and kristy for my name 🙂
chemgoddess1 · 8/10/2010
Mine was given to me in college. I was a chem major (yes, I am a chemist) and in our study group there was me and one other girl. I became chemgoddess 1 and she became chemgoddess 2, I don't really remember how the whole silly thing came about. I remember at one point in time she had this really sexy/geeky message on her answering machine.
litlbit · 8/10/2010
My nickname came from Carl Eller, #81 tight end from the Minnesota Vikings....WAY back in 1970! LOL I was dating his cousin that was living with him at the time...he called me that because I was so tiny! (everyone was bigger than me back then!! haha!)
AubFolts · 8/10/2010
