Your Nom de Plume...

The discussion in Skeeters post "Published Today" made me think of something interesting.

We all pick various screennames/nom de plumes on sites like Eons. Everyone has a reason why they picked the name they use here.

I picked Rcajun because I am a cajun, and my name is Renee... Also, it could mean "Ragin' Cajun" which also describes me fairly well, I would say... I would have used my favorite nom de plume, cajun_firecracker, but it was unavailable here.

cajun_firecracker is kind of a double entendre as it describes not only my culture, but my somewhat colorful personality, and also eludes to my birthday.

Why did you pick YOUR nom de plume? What does it say about YOU?

"Ragin Cajun" is a term used for the fun-loving Cajun people... (I won't go into how fun-loving I am... a southern belle is entitled to retain a little mystery, Skeeter... ;0))))...)... One of our local universities (UL, formerly USL) uses the "Ragin' Cajun" as their mascot.

We consider it a term of endearment.

As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. I took the name datsunlvr because of this car. This Datsun 280ZX was the sweetest ride I've ever owned. My brother built it from parts of three different cars, putting a lot of himself into that car. He originally had the idea of giving it to his daughter who was graduating school that year, but she took one look at it before it was finished and said she wouldn't be caught dead in it. Needless to say, he was crushed. He drove it for a while and then I bought it from him about two months before he died of cancer. He felt better that it would be in the hands of someone who would definitely appreciate it. I drove it for about ten years until we took it off the road so my son could restore it for me. Before he could completely finish, I was forced to sell it in order to pay bills because my husband was out of work for almost a year before going on disability. I may not own it anymore, but it still owns me...
