My username is a combination of the first few letters of my names, or was until I got married.
My first hamster was called Rommirusina and I love rumraisin icecream.
K.
The Doxa watch, the first ever true dive watch. My wife gave me one for our 25th anniversary, we have now been married 41 years.
Named after the little Star Wars robot, R2-D2.
My username is two-fold. First, I’ve had it for many, many years. My name is Meredith so it’s the first four letters, ‘Mere,’ which is also a nickname many friends call me, and then 5-oh is slang for cop/police officer here. For quite awhile I was really into Law Enforcement, and even got my degree in Criminal Justice. The slang ‘five-oh’ or ‘5-oh’ or ‘5-0’ originated from a TV show in the 1960s called Hawaii 5-0. It was also referenced from the old Ford Mustang’s 5.0 high performance car which some departments used to catch speeders on highways back in the day.
It was a rainy day when I joined and I wanted a different, out-of-box username, so I combined the rainy weather and my major at university (Swedish language), so there you go. Inadvertently, this has led many postcrossers, who I have met, to ask me if my native language is Swedish (no, but such Finns exist too! )
It’s so cute
That’s unusual
Mine is from when I was about 13 years old. It was a Cantonese word that I misheard and wrote out phonetically. It kind of just stuck with me.
Just my real Name
Mine is a combintaion from my own name and the name of my boyfriend.
Mine is from the line, “Et Tu, Brute?” from Julius Caesar. I created it elsewhere after a betrayal by someone close to me, but I liked it enough to continue using on different forums as it’s sort, sweet, and easy to remember.
Suzy Doozy is a childhood nick name given to me by my Uncle. He always called me it right up until he died 3 years ago so seeing it here is a lovely reminder of him.
PJ are my first and middle initials, the Subway (Metro, not sandwich shop) is where I worked for many years. I work at the Airport now, but PJairport doesn’t sound as good.
Sannah is how my little cousin (nine years younger) called me when she was a preschooler. Since that was taken when I signed up, I added my birth year. Or birthday? Let’s keep that a mystery!
my name is jeffry , sometimes jef sounds jep.
One of my postcrossing friend call me ko (for older male in chinese) and he call me kojep.
After that our community friends call me with that nickname too. So i decided change my id with Kojep. Its familiar nickname for me. Before this, my nickname j3ffry
They’re awesome
When I was younger, I made an anagram with my first and last name. I kept the first name Eden that some of my friends use. I couldn’t see myself using another of my nicknames like “Zen”.
“Reliure” comes from my profession and my passion for bookbinding and books. “Reliure” is the French word for bookbinding in english.
So the combination of the two ensured that I had a username available on the site.
Pretty boring. My actual first name and country I am from. My other common nick, literally translated as “Little Mosquito” would be too childlish. And moreover… I tend to avoid that one.
My username is my first name.
