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?

..... duh

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.

Donna

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:

2Boys4Me Enthusiast
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 osteopenia and have cracked three vertebrae.  Niacin is connected to osteoporosis! Do talk to your nutritionist and doctor about supplementing with B vitamins.  Blood tests don't reveal the amount of vitamins stored inside cells.  The blood is a transportation system and can reflect vitamins absorbed from food eaten in the previous twenty-four to forty-eight hours.  Those "normal limits" are based on minimum amounts required to prevent disease, not levels for optimal health.   Keep us posted on your progress.   B Vitamins: Functions and Uses in Medicine https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9662251/ Association of dietary niacin intake with osteoporosis in the postmenopausal women in the US: NHANES 2007–2018 https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11835798/ Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/   Nutritional Imbalances in Adult Celiac Patients Following a Gluten-Free Diet https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8398893/ Nutritional Consequences of Celiac Disease and Gluten-Free Diet https://www.mdpi.com/2036-7422/15/4/61 Simplifying the B Complex: How Vitamins B6 and B9 Modulate One Carbon Metabolism in Cancer and Beyond https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9609401/

      Thank you so much for the clarification! Yes to these questions: Have you consulted dietician?  Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Osteoporosis? Thyroid? Anemia?  Do you take any supplements, or vitamins? I’m within healthy range for nutritional tests, thyroid and am not anemic. I do have osteopenia. I don’t take any medications, and the dietician was actually a nutritionist (not sure if that is the same thing) recommended by my physician at the time to better understand gluten free eating.    I almost wish the gluten exposure had triggered something, so at least I’d know what’s going on. So confusing!    Many thanks!

      @JudyLou,  I have dermatitis herpetiformis, too!  And...big drum roll... Niacin improves dermatitis herpetiformis!   Niacin is very important to skin health and intestinal health.   You're correct.  dermatitis herpetiformis usually occurs on extensor muscles, but dermatitis herpetiformis is also pressure sensitive, so blisters can form where clothing puts pressure on the skin. Elastic waist bands, bulky seams on clothing, watch bands, hats.  Rolled up sleeves or my purse hanging on my arm would make me break out on the insides of my elbows.  I have had a blister on my finger where my pen rested as I write.  Foods high in Iodine can cause an outbreak and exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. You've been on the gluten free diet for a long time.  Our gluten free diet can be low in vitamins and minerals, especially if processed gluten free foods are consumed.  Those aren't fortified with vitamins like gluten containing products are.  Have you consulted dietician?  Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Osteoporosis? Thyroid? Anemia?  Do you take any supplements, medicine, or vitamins? Niacin deficiency is connected to anemia.  Anemia can cause false negatives on tTg IgA tests.  A person can be on that borderline where symptoms wax and wane for years, surviving, but not thriving.  We have a higher metabolic need for more nutrients when we're sick or emotionally stressed which can deplete the small amount of vitamins we can store in our bodies and symptoms reappear.   Exposure to gluten (and casein in those sensitive to it) can cause an increased immune response and inflammation for months afterwards. The immune cells that make tTg IgA antibodies which are triggered today are going to live for about two years. During that time, inflammation is heightened.  Those immune cells only replicate when triggered.  If those immune cells don't get triggered again for about two years, they die without leaving any descendents programmed to trigger on gluten and casein.  The immune system forgets gluten and casein need to be attacked.  The Celiac genes turn off.  This is remission.    Some people in remission report being able to consume gluten again without consequence.   However, another triggering event can turn the Celiac genes on again.   Celiac genes are turned on by a triggering event (physical or emotional stress).  There's some evidence that thiamine insufficiency contributes to the turning on of autoimmune genes.  There is an increased biological need for thiamine when we are physically or emotionally stressed.  Thiamine cannot be stored for more than twenty-one days and may be depleted in as little as three during physical and emotional stresses. Mitochondria without sufficient thiamine become damaged and don't function properly.  This gets relayed to the genes and autoimmune disease genes turn on.  Thiamine and other B vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients are needed to replace the dysfunctional mitochondria and repair the damage to the body.   I recommend getting checked for vitamin and mineral deficiencies.  More than just Vitamin D and B12.  A gluten challenge would definitely be a stressor capable of precipitating further vitamin deficiencies and health consequences.   Best wishes!

      And I agree with Wheatwacked. When a physician tells you that you can't have celiac disease because you're not losing weight, you can be certain that doctor is operating on a dated understanding of celiac disease. I assume you are in the UK by the way you spelled "coeliac". So, I'm not sure what your options are when it comes to healthcare, but I might suggest you look for another physician who is more up to date in this area and is willing to work with you to get an accurate diagnosis. If, in fact, you do not have celiac disease but you know that gluten causes you problems, you might have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). There is no test available yet for NCGS. Celiac must first be ruled out. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the lining of the small bowel. NCGS we is not autoimmune and we know less about it's true nature. But we do know it is considerably more common than celiac disease.
