Re: Where did your profile name come from?

I had to create a secret email address when I was planning to leave my abusive ex, so he couldn't check it... I was still in the "think big" stage of pre-leaving, where you have to start telling yourself you are wonderful and CAN do this... Ivy is my first name, and I was feeling like I could do just about anything, if I could start over on my own at 22 with a 3yo and a newborn.. so IVYALMIGHTY it was.
 
Since then, I've always gotten lots of giggles when I tell people my email address, esp considering I'm only 5ft and not quite a 3-digit weight yet. So, it's stuck.
 
And I still feel pretty almighty, four years later Smiley Happy

Re: Where did your profile name come from?

I'm so not original when it comes to making up screen names. My real name is Stefanie and for the next month at least, I am 37.
 
I guess I got sick of all the nicknames I had growing up. I still wonder what my mom was thinking when she thought "Taffy" was cute. Maybe it was for a time, but I grew up, lol. I knocked a customer out of his chair at work one night for something horribly foul he said regarding my child. I just knew my boss was going to fire me, but he actually understood after I told him what he said. I then got tagged with "Buffy"  and was warned to stop slaying the customer's. So, Stef will do me just fine these days, needless to say. I'm getting old...

Well mine says it all! I was in debt last year and was scrambling to pay my bills hence the name scrambling in 2007! But I am not scrambling anymore! 2008 has been a great year!

Gee I hope my name says it all..
 
But it really started with the "visualize whirled peas" bumper sticker many years ago.

OMG.  Smiley Very Happy  ROFL at myself!
 
I've looked at your screen name over and over since joining, wondering what on earth it meant and where you came up with it , all the time reading it LITERALLY, visualizing peas in a blender and thinking to myself "Whirled Peas?  Some kind of favorite mashed peas recipe?  Whaaaaat?!"
 
Never once picked up on the alternative phonetic translation, 'til reading your post!
 
I think the blonde highlights I've been getting the last several years have actually penetrated waaaay past the scalp and bleached my brain...sheesh.

Re: Where did your profile name come from?

This has been a nickname that has been with me off and on throughout life. More recently though, it has stuck through a client of mine. Never calls me by my first name, it's always Byrdman. Even when introducing me to someone Smiley Sad

Obviously Byrd is my last name.

Re: Where did your profile name come from?

My screen name comes from my obsession to have a little girl. I had her name picked out in the seventh grade. I knew then that my first daughter's name would be Miah Marie. (Miah meaning mine, and Marie in Hebrew meaning wished for child) However, I never had a daughter. So I have always used Miahmarie as a screen name. I only later learnned of the significance of the name.

I am no longer wishing for a little girl. I have two wonderful boys, and they are awesome!
