    Valhalla    June 26, 2010   Vancouver, British Columbia

    Wedding Bee is full of neat usernames! The Bee Bloggers always give a little rationale for why they picked their Bee Name in their first post as a Bee. But what made the rest of us pick our usernames?

    I'll start - Valhalla is a Viking term for heaven or the afterlife. There is a hiking store in the city where I live called Valhalla Pure. So I chose Valhalla because when I am spending time in the mountains hiking, its like my own personal form of heaven.

    What's the story behind your username, if there is one? If it is too personal or would reveal too much information, you don't have to share.

    luli29    October 9, 2010   Massachusetts

    Well, my name is Judy..and as a little girl... my family would always call me Luli...hehe. That's it. I just added a 29 because that's my number!

    However, I was not aware of the whole Miss/Mrs. XXX when I first joined WB. If I did know about it, I would have used Miss something as a screen name. Oh wellz!

    He calls me honeybunny, but that was already taken. So I went with honeybun!

    I, like luli, was totally unaware of the Miss/Ms. stuff. I hadn't been a lurker when I found Weddingbee - I just jumped right in with a poll, not knowing if I'd ever even come to this site again! LOL. Wish I had known though - I would def. like to at least be Ms. Honeybun!!!

    Kittyachi    August 2010   New York

    Kittyachi is a nickname FI has for me. It comes from a SNL episode Tracy Morgan hosted where he did a Brian Fellow skit and there was a competitive mice-eating champion cat dressed in a kimono named "Kittyachi" and I would do the impression of it for my FI and crack him up so he started calling me Kittyachi.

    Bamboo    June 2010   Midwest

    Um...I totally didn't understand the concept at first that the bloggers were different than us peeps so I picked bamboo because its going to figure prominantly in our decor and invites and we love lucky bamboo. haha. Although its funny now because my guy likes to call me all these random names that include boo in it. Think Seinfeld "Shmoopy" style.

    Mine isn't so unique.  Just my maiden initials.  Not sure I like still being a "Miss" bee when I'm not but would have felt weird to have a "Mrs" before I was married!

    It's a portmanteau of two other names I use.  I figure it's easy for me to remember, but hopefully not obvious to anyone who may come across it.  I'm weird like that.

    IrishbyMarriage    March 20, 2010   Boston, MA

    Mine is actually pretty funny.  I come from a VERY Italian family *We are Infantinos and Pagliucas* and he comes from a VERY Irish family *O'Donnell anyone?* So we always kind of tease and harp on eachother about our heritages as we are both strongly tied to them. 

    He hangs up a picture of the castle that is dated back to his tribe or whatever and I put up an arial map of my families little Italian villages and the farm they once owned... we painted our stepping stone front rock half the irish flag half the italian.

    I always tease him and call him little names *some would find them offensive "Potato eater" and "Hillbilly - the original origin of the name is Irish* and he calls me *Wop - Without papers* and *Guinea*...

    sooooo here I am... Irish by Marriage

    mrsawesome09    June 5, 2011   Madison, WI

    FI and I are obsessed with How I Met Your Mother....we're really similar to Lily and Marshall.  In their wedding episode they have a conversation during their first dance about Lily not taking Marshall's last name and how they should make up a new last name just for them.  One suggestion is Mr. and Mrs. Awesome (and that their kid's names are Totally and Friggen!)

    FI and I are considering changing both his and my last name to something different once we're married.  Therefore, Mrs.Awesome.  Even though I'm not a Mrs. yet, I suppose that'll make it better once I am and I don't have a sn that says 'miss'.  =D

    oracle    October 23, 2010   Los Angeles

    I have this thing with a handful of my friends - I told them they would marry their now husbands before or shortly after their first date.  So far, I'm 6 for 6 (started over 10 years ago) in predicted marriages - didn't keep count of the ones I knew wouldn't end up in marriage.  So, that's how 'the oracle' nickname was coined for me.  

    The classic thing is the ONLY person it doesn't work for - MYSELF! Ha!

    kjpugs    March 20, 2010   Indianapolis, IN

    I love these stories!

    KJ are my first and middle initials, and a common nickname (my first/middle rhyme with Jelly Bean... oh joy.) Then Pugs for obvious reasons.

    I didn't get WB and when I started my blog, I got the lovely idea that you had to do the Miss ____ thing to even get ACCEPTED to blog. So I blog as Miss Pug. Which will make for an awkward post if/when someone gets their app accepted and picks PUG!

    Well, unfortunately my username has NO significance whatsoever!  I typed in a couple of names but they were all taken so I just typed in hellohellohello cause I was frustrated and felt like "Hello?  Any free names out there?  Helloooo?" and it was free so I took it.

    Unfortunately it's kind of long.  Is it possible to change your username?

    I desperately wanted to be Miss Cupcake -- not realizing there was already a Bee by that name :)  But I love Sprinkles Cupcakes -- I'm so lucky to have one in Dallas -- and sorta ran with it.  In retrospect, I should have been Kate Monster (if ... possible?) since that's what the boy calls me, after the Avenue Q character.  Also, my name is Kate, haha.
