Another thread on Usernames: What in the world does yours mean?

[Applesauce]

We've seen the thread of favorite user names but some folks have names that I just don't get. Brylntrp was one but now "I got it". Here's another I don't get...

Hoopoe? What in the world?

What about everyone else...is there a username out there that someone has that you'd just looooooove to hear the story/meaning behind it?

[Bumpkin]

Bumpkin is a Pony from the Hobbit /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Bumpkin:
One of the ponies belonging to Merry. Bumpkin was named such during the hobbits stay with Tom Bombadil. When the Prancing Pony Inn was raided, the ponies fled to Bombadil, who later sent them to Butterbur.

If You Look At My Profile

You will see me riding the real "BUMPKIN"
Her show name was Pantomine and her racing name was Fallacy's Hope (Pan Man x Miss Fallacy).

I prob should change my name to "Elliot" since he is my replacement for Bumpkin after pining for her for 20 years...but I have been Bumpkin on here forever it seems.

Here is part of the Poem in the Hobbit...

Tom Bombadil's songs

Hey! now! Come hoy now! Whither do you wander?
Up, down, near or far, here, there or yonder?

My horse's showname is Moonlight Serenade, so I just shortened it to serve as my screenname. Lately I've been confusing myself with Serendipity, though...so maybe I should change it.

Cinnabar was horse #1, who I got when I was 12. He was very character building, and I learned a hugenormous amount from him. What wouldn't he do?! I PC'd him, foxhunted, evented, did dressage, hooted around the countryside...we even won a costume class with me dressed as Scarlet O'Hara (hoop and all!) and him in a tux (thanks grandma!) and tophat (little moustache too).

Middle age is a terrible thing. I wanted to use the name "Lucy" (one of my mares) (more gender appropriate), but that name was taken. SO, the next name that popped into my head, was FRED. The barn name of my stallion. He, BTW, is named after Fred Astaire - who makes me happy just to watch him move... they both do! /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif
Of course it's not original or creative, but my mind can only hold so much! /infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif

I guess I could merge all the horsies names together but it would probably turn out to be something like this:

OK so here's what all it means.

Nope.

What it is suppossed to mean: "Cross Country Girl"

Okay I was laughing out loud in the computer lab (hence lack of posting for 1-800, lap top died) and telling people around me who don't even know what a show name is about FIGJAM. I also adore, Pas Petit Detail as well as Bristol, so there you go, I like both personalities. I will always have a place in my heart for both Findeight, Brylntrip, and of course, the ever present in name topics, Lord Helpus. I was also cracking up reading FatLilPony's. Wow, there are a bunch of great ones out there. Thanks guys. Brightened my day. (more discussion of the bad day will ensue after vet trip on Thursday I'm quite certain)

I own a 14.3 hand chestnut Morgan mare (Flower), and lease a 17.2 hand chestnut TB gelding (Half Magic). I started calling them 'Big Red, Little Red' awhile ago and it sort of stuck. Big Red is the mare of course, and Little Red would be the gelding.... joking!

[FlowerPower]

On that same line... sort of... I board at Phyllis Dawson's barn (Windchase) and she has a stallion, Brandenburg's Windstar. She names all the foals something-star or star-somthing. Last year there was a foal born with a white nose with a little white line above it... I swear it looks like a little guitar on his nose. I (faithful Bowie fan) suggested the name Ziggy Stardust - I thought it was PERFECT because of the 'Ziggy played guitar' SHE didn't like it though and named him Star Surprise. I still call him Ziggy though!!!

[1-800-Dial-A-Distance]

Just in the "star" lines, there is a Star Witness in Camden SC, I love that name.

[Snidgie5]

Mine was simply the screen name I chose for AIM. But it came from those little tootsie rolls. They are called midgees. Well when I was younger one of my friends made up her own silly language sort of like pig latin. The way it worked was to drop the first letter from a word and add the letters "S" "n". My real name, Stacie, would have been Snacie. Midgees became Snidgees. Because my name is spelled with an IE at the end I changed it to snidgie. And I am a big fan of tootsie rolls... The five has absolutely no significance. AOL said to have a number in my SN so I picked five. I have no idea why. It just seemed right...

My name is an abbreviated version of an anagram of my last name. It was my nickname in high school. The full anagram - "Shmontop" - sounds perverted to a lot of people. /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif So it was shortened to Shmon.

(don't ask how I got to be called that. Who knows why it caught on. /infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif )

[Miss Perfect]

The name says it all. What can I say?

Just kidding - Miss Perfect is the registered name of an older OTTB broodmare/lesson horse that I almost bought. She was the sweetest thing, and I loved her name.

I bought my current gelding on July 4th, so I named him Patriot (yawn - how common, huh?).

[Pixie Dust]

Bumpkin is such a great name!!!

My name has a rather long story. In the 90's (94-98) I had a group of cyber friends very much like the ones I have here, except it was through a radio station REVOLUTION RADIO Rev 105 in Minneapolis. It was THE coolest radio station...besides Radio K that is. My name was Ivy, because I'm kind of like a plant and I used to like the old garage band the Cramps and their baseplayer is poison ivy..... and anyway, we used to chat on line every day after lunch (while at work of course!) We decided to take the plunge and meet each other in person one night. My husband was VERY busy with school, so I went alone (hey, it was Minnapolis!) This is wierd for me, because I'm kind of shy. SO, I met these folks and we became fast friends. They had a big party and I brought the Mr. He was SO nervous, because he didn't chat with them, didn' know them, etc. etc. but they were all SO cool, we all got along great. At this party, we were having a discussion on the differences between Maryland and Minnesota. One is kitty corner v. catty corner (they say kitty corner LOL) Another was that old kid's game, duck duck GOOSE, well they say duck, duck GREY DUCK, which of course we Marylanders find awfully silly (unlike goose) so the argument went on and on, and next thing you know, the MR. was chatting everyday with the moniker GOOSE. We have always loved geese, so we decided where ever we live would be called GOOSEWOOD, because we like the woods too. So, my name is B-Boosewood as in Betsy in Goosewood. Got it?? /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[SteadyPace]

My name has to do with my lack of a 'Steady Pace' on a hunter course. I seem to start off my courses at a nice pace and then accelerate so that by the last fence I'm breaking speed records for hunters . /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[Kahlua]

Mine is the show name of my trainer's horse that I ride all the time and now show. I'm cursed with horses named after alcohol. The horse I showed before Eddie(Kahlua) was Leah(show name was Bailey's Irish). /infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif

[trae]

My name is Tracy and my nickname - from drunken college friends too lazy to say the whole thing - is Trae 'tho they all spell it differently (t-r-a-y being my least favorite albeit the phonetically easiest version).

[BravAddict]

I suppose /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

BravAddict... BravAdo is this chestnut Arab gelding who taught me how to *really* jump. Thus I am Addicted to him. Take off the 'o' and add "dicted" and there you go, hehe.

I'm a Schoolie and I'm Proud.
I miss Bravado.

[Freebird!]

I guess it has a few meanings...

When I galloped racehorses, everyone called me Katbird, and my hunters show name was Feeling Free, and geez, who does't like the song Freebird by Lynrd Skynrd?? LOL :-)

[stasha]

'Stasha' was the nickname my mom gave me when I was little--she wanted to name me Anastasia. Dad said, "Why saddle a little girl with a name she's gonna hate?" So they shortened and Americanized it to 'Stacy' (which I hated anyway).

I think 'Stasha' is pretty cool. My other nickname in real life is Boomer. That one is a looooooong story...

[Bumpkin]

Bumpkin

Bumpkin is a Pony from the Hobbit
Bumpkin:
One of the ponies belonging to Merry. Bumpkin was named such during the hobbits stay with Tom Bombadil. When the Prancing Pony Inn was raided, the ponies fled to Bombadil, who later sent them to Butterbur.

If You Look At My Profile

You will see me riding the real "BUMPKIN"
Her show name was Pantomine and her racing name was Fallacy's Hope (Pan Man x Miss Fallacy).

I prob should change my name to "Elliot" since he is my replacement for Bumpkin after pining for her for 20 years...but I have been Bumpkin on here forever it seems.

Here is part of the Poem in the Hobbit...

Tom Bombadil's songs

Hey! now! Come hoy now! Whither do you wander?
Up, down, near or far, here, there or yonder?
Sharp-ears, Wise-nose, Swish-tail and Bumpkin,
White-socks my little lad, and old Fatty Lumpkin?

[IdahoBetty]

He was caspar_stephen, or something like that, from name and place of birth (Caspar, Wyoming).

So...with being born in Idaho, plus the given first name of Betty (not Elizabeth or anything else) -

Therefore - IdahoBetty

(NOT I Da Ho Betty, as someone from the Ultimate Dressage BB once guessed! Just about made me pee my pants laughing!)

So, you can call me IdahoBetty, you can call me Betty, you can call me Ray, or you can call me forty-something - because of somewhat dated song reference!

stands for my two favorite Thoroughbred race horses--Exterminator and Man O. War--hence EX O.
My horse is a giant chestnut with much Man O. War on top and bottom and he looks quite a lot like him but he's far more raw-boned like Old Bones (Exterminator) was.
