    BeachBrideT    5/09   Florida

    We all see each others' names & avatars, so tell us, why did you pick your name? What does it mean? And what does your avatar stand for?

    My name, BeachBrideT, is pretty straight forward. I live in south Florida and I am getting married at a very beachy location. I am technically getting married in a church, but the whole weekend will be around the beach. And I chose "T" to set me apart a bit, because I have seen a few other beach brides out there.

    Funny, come to think of it, I am NOT having anything beach related IN my wedding. We are not doing seashells or sand or anything like that. I guess its more about the whole weekend, not just the wedding itself.

    As for my avatar, that is a picture I took of a sunset at the location where I am getting married. I thought it was perfect for my name! :)

    missbean    August 23rd, 2008   Canada

    My name, "missbean" should actually be mrsbean. My nickname in real life is Bean, so I thought it would be appropriate! (Plus, it's fun to call my husband Mr. Bean! haha)

    Furelysse is a modification of my favorite classical song Fur Elise.  Elysse is also a modification of my name.  As for the avatar, it's actually the header for my blog.

    bellenga    July 31, 2010   Georgia

    My favorite movie is Gone With the Wind, I am completely southern, having been raised in No. MS and Memphis, and living in GA now.  Thus, my name means belle in georgia! 

    I also loved the movie "Memphis Belle" and am a huge Harry Connick Jr. fan and that plane has been kept/housed in Memphis, which was my home base for most of my life. 

    And no, my name IRL is NOT Belle!

    LatteLove    June 19, 2009   Chicago/San Diego

    I love Lattes!!  I drink one almost every morning, and if I ever hang out with friends, they know my favorite coffee shop where they can find me.  I suggest a coffee date every single time someone asks if I want to hang out!  I even have lattes by season.  Usually chai lattes in the fall and winter, vanilla in the spring and summer and caramel all year round.  I am obsessed.

    Plus, it's a fun little play on words...Lot of Love = LatteLove.  And, as THE Miss Latte would say, I love my fiance...a latte! (and to be honest, when I joined, I didn't know there was still a bee icon "Latte" waiting to be claimed :)

    driftslikesmoke help me find some fun latte art photos to use as my avatar.

    MrsCPT    08-08-09   Texas

    I really should be MrsCPT2b.  My Fi is a captain in the U.S. Army.  Among our group of friends (military and civilian), noone is actually called by his or her given name, so my Fi is merely "the Captain" (despite the fact that he shares that rank with several of the other guys).  I was formerly called "Teach," but at some point, even before the engagement, I was given his "name" and now respond equally to Mrs. Captain (abbreviation: CPT).

    Mine name is a nickname I've had probably for about 10 years...since high school.  The Lil is because I'm a shorty at 5 feet!  And the Lindy is just a nickname I have that stems from my real name.

    ChaiAnkh99    August 12, 2011   Boston

    Mine is a screen name I created in middle school and use for everything: e-mail address, instant messenger, the blog I've had for six years, various message boards.

    Chai, as most everyone knows now, is a kind of tea, but I drank tons of it even when I was younger, before it was all trendy.  Ankh is the Egyptian symbol of life and prosperity; I've always been a fan of it, and it has some different, more personal symbolism to me. I have a tattoo of it.  9 is one of my favorite numbers, but I didn't like the way the name sounded with one 9, so 99 flowed better.

    caitlanc    September 12, 2009   Western Slope of Colorado

    caitlanc is just my first name and maiden initial.  The other one I use (and wish I could switch this one out to) is CaitStClair which is half of my first name and my future middle name.  Oh well. 

    My avatar is just a picture of me on a horsepacking trip in Chile.  Maybe one of these days I'll swap it out for a picture of my dad's farm which is where my FI and I will be getting married. 

    P.S.  Great post!

    My name actually means two different things:  Since I'm kind of a biker chick and ride an "iron horse", I am an Iron Maiden. What does your name mean? :  wedding meaning of name avatar Icon Wink My fiance is a rocker guy whose favorite band is Iron Maiden, so its a tribute to him too.  And my avatar is a pic of my baby - my motorcycle!  (my photog and I can't wait for wedding dress pics on the bike!)

    Liz.smith    May 23, 2009   TN

    Mine's boring! Liz is my name, and Smith will be my married name. I'm rather fond of the fact that we'll be Mr. and Mrs. Smith, even tho he hates having such a common name (there were literally 4 Chris Smith's in the dorms in college, and it wasn't a big dorm building at all). My avatar is a pic of daisies that's been a big part of my inspiration for the whole wedding!

    honeymyheart    9/09   Santa Barbara, CA

    'honey' is my favorite word (my friends and i would say it all the time in college) and 'my heart' is inspired by a pizza place in norcal called 'pizza my heart'. so my name is a play on that :) i got the avatar from a south park website where you could turn yourself into a character.

    it's really cool learning about everyone's names :)

    Piaffette    April 24, 2010   Eldersburg, MD

    Piaffette is a mix of words...  I am a dressage rider (horseback riding) and the piaffe is an advanced movement performed in the Grand Prix tests.  In layman's terms, it looks as though the horse is trotting or prancing in place - a very powerful movement to be able to ride, and I'm very proud to say that I can!  I feminized the word years ago and just keep re-using the name because I like it.  :)

     The avatar is of myself and my current horse, Paeton, before a horse show.  Not very wedding-y; I'll have to figure out a way to get something more bridal!  :)

    Karii    10/10/10   Montreal, Canada

    Karii is a nickname that some of my friends call me (kinda like Carrie but I like this spelling more).

    My avatar is a bit of a longer story. When my fiance proposed, he planned a huge party...my family flew in from all across the country as a surprise. They were all waiting upstairs in the living room and watching out the window why he proposed to me. This shot was about 25 seconds after he proposed and I said yes. My dad snuck a picture in and forgot to take off the flash... hence the kind of spotlight effect in the picture :) It turned out to be an amazing picture!

    Yin    June 2, 2010   Delaware

    I created my user name a long time ago, and I had to actually go back to my emails to figure it out when I started to sign in again.  My user name is my actual name.  I can't tell you why I chose it, other than it's my name and almost impossible to ever get that user name anywhere else.  My picture was taken at Disney World in front of the new Pixar ride, and it shows the silly side of me.

    ggsb    June 13, 2009   Atlanta/North Georgia

    My name is the abbreviated form of the nicknames we had for each other when we started dating.  I once called him the strangest boy I'd ever met, and he in turn called me his goofy girl. So ggsb.  Ours is a strange & goofy kinda love I suppose.... :)

    My avatar is a photo of the smurf bride my MOH gave me when she heard we were engaged.  I collected smurfs as a child (and maybe still do although it's probably not cool to admit it) and she's been saving her for me for YEARS!
