How You Choose Your Login Name

little d Enthusiast

I just thought that this would be fun. How did you choose your login name.

I chose my login name because couldn't think of anything and thought to use my nickname that my coworkers gave me because we have another Donna who is a nurse and is taller 5'8" and maybe 60lbs heavier than me. I am 4'11" and at the time 150lbs so I got little d and she got big D

Guhlia Rising Star

Mine is my last name, modified... Guhl... Changed to Guhlia thanks to the Wedding Singer (Julia Guhlia). Not that my name is Julia... :)

SunnyDyRain Enthusiast

My nickname is an existng one I used on other sites. The first time I used it, I was depressed and felt like I ruined every one's good time. So I tried SunnyDayRain, but that was taken so I took SunnyDyRain. :)

Ursa Major Collaborator

My name is Latin for she-bear, so I chose (or I should say, Fiddle Faddle suggested) the star formation Ursa Major when I changed my login name for safety reasons (which is why I won't mention my real name, even though even people who don't know it should be able to guess). So, please don't mention it, since then this post will pop up in Google when putting in my name along with celiac, because it isn't that common.

aikiducky Apprentice

I do aikido, and I used to kinda follow my first aikido teacher around and kwak like a duckling... :lol: obviously I was a bit enthusiastic in the beginning... that was almost 8 years ago so I've kinda calmed down but then I started collecting duck toys and stuff for a while. I've stopped now because in don't really want a house full of ducks so please don't send me any! :ph34r: I still have one fluffy yellow duck that my sister gave me one Christmas though, she made a little black belt for it and a tiny little wooden sword. :)

Pauliina

wowzer Community Regular

My original name from euchre at Playsite. My stepfather thought up the name.

VegasCeliacBuckeye Collaborator

Growing up I was a HUGE John Elway fan (he played for the Denver Broncos - hence, bronco) - however, I am actually a die hard Bengals and Buckeyes fan

Bux = Bucks = short for Buckeyes

Bronco Bux

:)

I should be Bengalbux or Elwaybux since I am not a Bronco fan, but what do you do?

blueeyedmanda Community Regular

I choose mine because my name is Amanda but when I worked in daycare, my toddlers used to say Manda instead of saying Amanda. I have very blue eyes, and dark hair. So I came up with Blueeyedmanda.

It describes me very well.

Kyalesyin Apprentice

I used my first name. It means 'serenity'.

TinkerbellSwt Collaborator

My name is pretty obvious, at least the first half, Tinkerbell. I am a huge Disney fan and my cats name is Tinkerbell. The Swt is short for Sweetie, my dog that I had to give away, (due to safety issues with my son) My name honors my pets!

Generic Apprentice

I changed mine also due to safety reasons, my ex-b/f was (or still is) stalking me on the internet. Mine used to be my name with my old companies name.

Now it is a generic name-litteraly.

Lisa Mentor

My turn,

When my first was born, she became my "sweet baby goose", with number 2, I had geese. Hubby started to call me Momma Goose. There ya have it.

little-c Contributor

My name is an reference to celiac disease. I went through three months of testing for various issues when they ultimately found celiac. At the same time I was also going through repeat mammograms and a breast cancer biopsy (testing for the 'big C'.) Had no clue they would ultimately find celiac, so I coined it 'little c.' So far, no 'big C' in my list of maladies!

aikiducky Apprentice

We have a "little d" and a "little c", cute. :) I wonder if there's a "little a" and a "little b" lurking as well who just haven't posted anything? :)

Little c, I like the motto in your sig... :)

Pauliina

not going to rename myself little p... :lol: :lol: :lol:

I used my first name. It means 'serenity'.

How do you pronounce it?

I have two boys. That means "lack of serenity".

Piccolo Apprentice

I just had to ad my reply here. I am a musician that plays the flute and piccolo thus the name. :rolleyes:

Lack of Serenity? Hmmm... that might be a good one when we have kids....

Proper pronounciation is kyal-es-yin. The first y is almost silent, heaviest emphasis goes on the es and the yin is short to the point of almost sounding like 'yun'.

There was a point in my life where I really hated that name.

tarnalberry Community Regular

mine is a concatenation of my names, in much the same way that a unix admin would assign a login. :P

Kaycee Collaborator

My name is Catherine and as you can see, it starts with a C. But my mum who is in denial about her ever possibly having any coeliac symptoms, at times can't remember whether my name begins with a C or a K, so in one letter from my mother I get Katherine on the envelope and in the letter itself, I get my name written as Catherine. This supposedly is written on the same day! I don't know what gives, but she did Christian me! So in recognition of this I go with Kaycee. I love my mother dearly and wouldn't have it any different.

Cathy

hathor Contributor

Hathor was the ancient Egyptian goddess of motherhood, alcohol & war (never quite sure of the proper order :lol: ) I always liked that combination. I'm a big Egyptophile. My daughter is actually an Egyptology major, which I now tell myself I should have had!

LoveBeingATwin Enthusiast

being an idential twin is the best thing in the world. :)

psawyer Proficient

Mine is based on the same idea as Tiffany's; I just have a much shorter name than she does. It's my first initial followed by my surname. Obviously, I'm not terribly worried about somebody guessing my complete name. I used it as an ID on computers long before the internet. If you google it, you will get buried by hits about a retired history professor in England. No relation.

      I have had my endoscopy this morning with biopsies. My consultant said that it looked like I did have coeliac disease from what he could see. I now have to wait 3 weeks for the biopsy results. Do I continue eating gluten till my follow appointment in three weeks.

      Hi @emzie and welcome to the forum. Perhaps could be residual inflammation and bloating that is causing sensitivity in that area.  I was diagnosed with coeliac disease in 2013 and I remember some years ago my sister telling me around that time that she had a lady in her church, also a coeliac, who  had real pain when she turned her torso in a certain direction whilst doing exercises, but otherwise was responding well to the gluten-free diet. As far as I know is still the picture of health. I often end up with pain in various parts of my gut if I eat too much rich food or certain types of fibre (for some reasons walnuts make my gut hurt, and rice cakes!) and and as a rule, the pain usually hangs around for a number of days, maybe up to a week.   When I bend over or turn, I can feel it.  I think this is actually due to my other diagnosis of IBS, for years I thought I had a rumbling appendix but I think it must have just been IBS.  Reading the experiences of other sufferers, it seems quite typical.  Sensitized gut, build up of gas - it stands to reason that the extra pressure of turning can increase the pain. When I am glutened I get a burning, gnawing pain in my stomach on and off for some days - it isn't constant, but it can take up a few hours of the day.  I believe this to be gastritis, but it seems to hurt irrespective of movement.   Anyway, you are doing the right thing to seek a professional opinion, though, so do let us know how you get on.   Meanwhile, might I suggest you drink peppermint tea, or try slices of fresh ginger in hot water? A lot of IBS sufferers say the former is very helpful in relieving cramps, etc, and the latter is very soothing on the stomach. Cristiana

      Hi! One of the usual symptoms I have with a gluten flare up has deviated a bit and I thought I'd search for advice/opinions here. Also to see if anyone goes through similar stuff. Monday all of a sudden I got really bad pain in my stomach (centre, right under the chest, where the duodenum would be located). I ended up having to throw up for 2 hours, my body was trying to get rid of something from all sides and it was just horrible. Since then I havent been nauseous anymore at all, but the pain has stayed and it always worsens the moment i start moving. The more I move the more it hurts, and when i rest longer it seems to dissapear (no movement). I've had this before, but years ago I think around when I first got diagnosed with coeliac, where each time I moved, my stomach would hurt, to the point where I went to the ER because doctors got freaked out. That only lasted 1 night though, and Now it's already wednesday, so 3 days since then, but the pain persists and remains leveled. it doesn't get crazy intense, but it's still uncomfortable to the point I cant really go out because Im afraid itll turn into a giant flare up again. I couldn't think of where I could possibly have been glutened at this bad of a level and why it hasn't passed yet. I went to the GP, and as long as I have no fever and the pain isnt insane then its fine which I havent had yet. Tomorrow im also seeing a gastroenterologist specialized in IBS and coeliac for the first time finally in years, but I thought I'd ask on here anyway because it still hasnt dissapeared. It also hurts when someone presses on it. Maybe it's just really inflamed/irritated. I'm just frustrated because I'm missing out on my uni lectures and I do a sports bachelor, so I can't get behind on stuff & next to that i'm also going to go to the beach with my boyfriend's family this weekend: (

      Hi. So sorry to hear about your shingles. There is a lidocaine cream that you can get at Walmart that will help numb the pain.  That's what I used for mine. It can't be put near your eyes or in your ears. I hope your doctor gave you valacyclovir which is an antiviral.  It does lessen the symptoms. If it is in your eyes,  see an ophthalmologist.  They have an antiviral eye drop that can be prescribed.  Shingles in the eye could cause blindness.  I was unsure whether you have celiac or not.  If you do,  follow the diet.  I believe that extra stress on your body does affect everything. Shingles can recur. If you start getting the warning signs of nerves tingling,  see the dr and start taking the valacyclovir to prevent a breakout. If I sound technical,  I am a retired pharmacist.

      You are right to be proactive, as research does indicate that individuals with celiac disease can have a higher predisposition to enamel defects, cavities, and periodontal issues, even with excellent oral hygiene. While many people with celiac successfully undergo orthodontic treatment without complication, your caution is valid. It may be beneficial to seek a consultation with an orthodontist who is familiar with managing patients with autoimmune conditions or who is willing to collaborate with your daughter's gastroenterologist or a periodontist. They can perform a thorough assessment of her current oral health, discuss your specific concerns about recession and decay, and create a tailored hygiene plan. This second opinion could provide a clearer risk-benefit analysis, helping you decide if addressing the cosmetic concern of the lower teeth is worth the potential risks for your daughter, especially if they are not currently affecting function or her confidence.
