Cramer's "How old are you?" thread has given me the little push I needed to ask the question I had often thought about.
Cherished clutter - means I'm a pack rat who loves her stuff and likes alliteration. I picked it for my Ebay id when I was just buying.
So what does your screen name mean? - even if you think it's obvious - let us know.

Bunnicula: vampire bunny character created by James Howe. Leaves dried white husks of vegetables laying about. Just tickled me, and so I chose it as a screen name.

I HATE my screen name! It was my husband's buyer name (his hometown in Switzerland) and I used it to list a couple of things for him 2 years ago...well, one thing led to another and before I knew it, it seemed that I would lose customers if I changed my name. Someday I will change to the name I use in my store and have reserved on eBay to use someday: Moody Mommy (I have two teenaged daughters, need I say more?)
I should add that I was on Vendio for almost a year before I knew this place existed so I stupidly signed up with my eBay name so I am stuck both places with a name that sounds like "negs"!

I guess mine's kinda boring too. Just my real first name with Oh and Ms added in front.
Part of it got me kidded a lot. I worked for PG&E (gas/electric utility company in Northern California) and the "ohms" rang a bell with people.
Now I sign in here with upper and lower case. Makes more sense that way, I think...

Peepa in Spanish = belly in English. I got the idea from Lead Belly the old blues guy. Plus my kid started calling me "La Peepa" when I told him he used to fall asleep on my belly when he was a baby. So thats how old "bigpeepa" came about. Ha Ha.

Mine is my old eBay seller name from back when we used it for everything. Merged it into another account so it's pretty much meaningless now. It was my OLD AOL email address.

My birth month which was years and years ago 63 age signed into vendio. Libra means balance and I think I fit right into that or some say the scales of justice. I took it because I like the sound of it. I also have another one septembermom and that was the month my 31 year old daughter was born. I have two eBay id's bracelet which that is what I collect and I imagine why nobody had that all ready and I have another tie_1_on where I sell mens ties and accessories. Soon to sell women's scarfs also. Great thread....

I'm a ham radio operator. I used to construct and repair a lot of communications equipment, some of which involve very high voltages. A few times I've attached the wrong component to the wrong place on a circuit board. On one of those occasions, my screen name suddenly "flashed" before my very eyes.

I guess I'm pretty self explanatory. Been Hawaiian dancing since I was about 6. Tried to get huladancer and hulagirl but they were both taken on ebay at the time (5 years ago). My goal is to develop and sell Hawaiian dance instruction videos for beginner through advanced level. Each video would have about 3 songs including basic instructions and warm-ups, and I know many songs, so the possibilities would be endless. I just haven't gotten around to figuring out how to do it (or hiring a professional to video me and looking into the legalities of using music, etc.).

I made a visit to a wonderful friend in Kentucky a few years back. She took me to a bar where they served a rare and very expensive ($14 per shot) 20-year old Kentucky bourbon called "Pappy Van Winkle." The bourbon -- and the story that goes along with the bourbon -- agreed with me both physically and psychologically. I didn't want to call myself "Pappy" because I am anything but a Pappy -- but I have a lot in common with a rare bourbon.

toasted36 is my husband screen name pretty much obvious lol ummm
My screen name is Friday which was his too but I took it lol... screen name thief ! Well not really ,he gave it but he's never getting it back ! His first name is Jason ,A friend he had at the bowling alley called him Friday cause of the scary movie Friday the 13th (the killers name was Jason)I started playing at flip side under that name and it just moved on to ebay....I even have a tag on the front of the 1957 ford F100 thats says " Friday's 57 " I also answer to Friday or Fri [blush] cause we meet some of the flip side player in real life once in Mississippi (gambling at a casino) that was fun ! It was easier to say there screen names cause thats what you called them everyday.

I was sitting at my computer signing up for Auction Watch, and when I had to come up with a screen name, I drew a blank. I looked at my computer and my cd drive gave me my screen name.

Neglus, your name always reminds me of Star Trek. I kept thinking it must be a word for stars or a galaxy or one of those awesomely cool pictures that the Hubble keeps sending back Something like "The Ferengi are preparing to attack in the Neglus"
My screen name is the name of my webstore and my ebay id. Was originally going to sell the hand-tied fleece blankets and realized there were so many making and selling and they're so easy to do yourself, there really wasn't a market. So, kept the name and found other kinds of blankets which led to quilts which led to bedding which led to.....

Well mine is the first part of my store's name. LOL. Pretty boring but it works.
Now one of my Ebay names is nuke_all_scammers. I picked that name because of my intense dislike for scammers. I hate 'em, I eat them for lunch whenever I can and if that don't work well then just nuke 'em.
Hey! If you can't beat them then nuke them!

My eBay screen name means nothing (beatnikera is a Vendio "handle" only)
"I'm a ham radio operator."
Hey, sparkz!
So is my 71 year old father. His ham
radio call letters are NAOJ (N-A-zero with a slash through it-J). He's got this huge antenna in his backyard that must
reach to the moon it's so high! I think he broke some kind of zoning law it's so
tall.
He loves his ham radio; he even teaches it where he lives in Edina, Minnesota; not
very far from where Neglus lives in Bloomington, MN. Hey Neglus: I hope
my father hasn't ruined your TV reception!
He even has his ham "call letters" on
his license plates. The whole nine yards.

I collect Disney/Minnie Mouse. I always thought since we lived in earthquake country that I had to buy TWO of each of the collectibles I really liked. Storage got a bit full after 20 years and in 1999, I decided to sell off the extra Disney stuff on Ebay and my husband said "you have alot of Minniestuff to sell" and it stuck.
