YES, this has been done before, but with lots of new folks, there is always room for the explanation of FLACATACA IMO!
Plus, I do not know about bunnymonkey, ronkoonkomonga, pickles, Mrs-K (who is not marrying her cousin ;) and lots of others of you and I am always intrigued by these answers -- so off to it.
To start, I am cursed with such incredible creativity that I really worked on this one. I worked really really (NOT) hard on it.

Mine is just my sign on to my computer at work because I belong to so many diffrent websites and I am always signing on to something I felt it would be easier if it was all the same. Mcaula is a short version of my last name and the letter A at the end is for the first letter of my first name.

I know I am too lazy to memorize some passwords huh

Eogara:
I must tell you, the ideas I had of what it might be -- an old gaelic prayer, a freudian term I don't know...were so remarkable!

All of those would have been a much better explanation...

I was actually curious about bunnymonkey. This was a great thread. I'll be joining the 'creativity club' too. I live in NYC, getting married on LI so the Oh-so-creative ny li bride

You girls are pretty funny. I lurk a lot, but I love reading what everyone writes on here...

NYLIbride hi! What is in your avatar, she says, just slightly hijacking the thread (with intent to return to source ASAP)

Re: QOTH (question of the holiday) -- explain you screen name?

My cousin (with whom I used to work with) called me doodles one day in 1988 and it kinda stuck. Her husband passed away just before I signed on the board so I became doodles again at his memorial service. I kinda like it.
Donna Doodles. (of course I somehow added an 'o' while signing on)

FI calls me sweetpea and we started dating on 1/30/00. I somehow got an extra zero in there.

I miss freestyle too!!!

Re: QOTH (question of the holiday) -- explain you screen name?

i had a phsyics teacher in hs that could never get my name right yet used to always pick on me...boy i loved that man

anyways, he used to call me azood, azeed just about anything except my name.

the class clown next to me in class used to always mimic him and make up names and he starting calling me azoodie and the blowfish (cause hootie and the blowfish was big at the )time)

so 'and the blowfish' was dropped and azoodie kinda stuck and that's what everyone's nickname is for me since hs.

boring i know...wow i wrote too much for this simple answer

I used the date we got engaged and the way I was feeling when I was at my old job while I was trying to plan my wedding ....

Re: QOTH (question of the holiday) -- explain you screen name?

....mine is pretty obvious...it's sick but the most exciting and one of the most important parts of the wedding for me is the cake. I am obsessed with looking at pictures of all different cakes. I might go as far as doing cake centerpieces. It's scary.

Re: QOTH (question of the holiday) -- explain you screen name?

oh, what a story behind my name!

About 22 years ago... my mom decided to name me Debra. Which, my friends have often shortened to Debs....

And, here's the kicker, I'm from NY!

I know, what a shocker!

Now THAT's creativity at work my friends...

Re: QOTH (question of the holiday) -- explain you screen name?

I used to be prncssrachel on here, but then to protect my identity I changed it to 121502 which is the date we got engaged. It's stupidly sterile and now that the drama of me being on here is over, I'm thinking of asking LIW to change me back to prncssrachel.

If we have kids, we'll use FH's last name.

In a weird way though, I will really miss my long, hyphenated last name. Me, my sister, and brother are the only 3 in the world with it, and once people learn it, they never forget it. Odd how something you hate growing up you get attached to when you get older!

i hear you... i have had to spell my last name EACH and EVERY time i say it for my entire life (well, except when i made dinner reservations in the italian town where everyone has my name ). i used to resent it so much and wish for a simpler last name. now that i have the opportunity to take a much shorter, easier name, i am reluctant to do so...

oh, and my screen name is my nickname (alex) and my (awful in my opiinon) middle name lynn. and 7 is my favorite number

Re: QOTH (question of the holiday) -- explain you screen name?

my parents gave me the nick name Beans when i was little. It stuck. (i still think to this day that my dad doesnt know how to spell my name correctly, so everything is addressed 'To Beans''.
and then it led to variations of janiney-bean, jelly bean, neenie bean. so neeniebean just stuck.
and i love the way the #86 looks in block numbers (like on football jerseys)..

oh.. and i like it better than janiner-weiner
