Gharv My last name is Harvey. My husband is a coach, and his kids call him Coach Harv. So now, because I am Mrs. Coach Harv, the kids call me G Harv. 8y

tapgurl It's from my email. 16 years ago my 15 yearl old stepdaughter helped me set up my aol account. Naturally Elaine was already taken so I took the name from a dance show playing at a casino in Lake Tahoe. It was Tapgirls but my stepdaughter changed it to gurl. Trying to hip me up I guess! I do love tap dance. And reading of course! 8y

Scurvygirl I worked with a guy who's cat was named Scurvy... I loved the name. Then one day I took the kids ( my daughter and a friend to the zoo) and they let us in free. So we each got a stuffed animal. I got a snow leopard that I named Scurvy. When I opened my IG account I just added the girl. *Scurvy sleeps on my bed and River knows not to eat him! 8y

Violet & Claire

TK421 TK421 is an ill fated storm trooper from the original Star Wars movie. 8y

JoeStalksBeck @TK421 you mean the one that misses every time he shoots? Lol😉 8y

Robothugs I was very bored one day. I started putting words together and realized Robot Hugs also was Robo Thugs. 🤷🏻‍♀️ That is a very anticlimactic story. 😂 8y

Rachbb3 Rachbb3 = RACHel Baker Boys 3 ( I have 3 boys ) 8y

TK421 I want to write a Robo Thugs comic now. @Robothugs 8y

Lola I remember you when changed yours and I didn't realize it was you and was wondering why the heck I'd choose to follow a self-proclaimed stalker 😂😘 8y

Foragingfantasy I'm a big thrifter and I love digging thru piles of books to find my treasures. Instead of foraging for food, I forage for fantasy! 8y

Bklover Mine is completely unoriginal. 8y

Sha0102 Mine is my nickname+day/month of bday. Ordinary combination. 🙄 8y

Jerdencon Mine is first three letters of my husbands, mine, and my sons names. 8y

Robothugs If you do you must tell me immediately. @TK421 8y

CouronneDhiver It's French for "Winter Wreath" - I joined not long before Christmas 8y

MinDea First 3 letters of my first name and first 3 letters of my last name and it sounds like my first name. 8y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I've always loved reading and I thought HEY💡 that sounds good!!! 📚💞 8y

NovelGirl82 My blog & the year I was born 8y

mom2bugnbee Mine is my name across social media/email platforms. My oldest daughter is Katie, & like many Katies, her nickname is Katie Bug. When she learned that her little sibling would be a girl (at age 2.5yo), she said that bugs & bees go together, which means that her sister's nickname should be Ashleigh Bee. My hubby & I call them simply "Bug" & "Bee" often. Therefore, I am mom2bugnbee. ☺ 8y

LauraBrook My first and middle name. #generic 8y

Jhullie It's my full name joined into one. Julie Hull = Jhullie 8y

stargazerblue49 Mine comes from my old room which was filled with glow-in-the-dark stars because I love stars!!! It's also been my email name forever! 💫⭐️🌟✨🌠 8y

DHill First letter of first name and last name. 8y

DarcysBookBlog I'm a huge Jane Austen fan soooo ... #predictable 8y

teebe @Robothugs the first time I saw your username, I spent awhile trying to figure out "is that Robot Hugs or Robo Thugs?" ? 8y

Robothugs Whichever strikes your fancy in the moment 😜 @teebe 8y

Billypar @Robothugs I read it as Robo-thugs at first and only later realized it could be Robot hugs. You should do a Litsy poll- maybe you created an instant personality test? 🤔 8y

carys14 Boringly, my first name, first letter of my last name, and my birthday day. I use it for almost all my social media accounts (except Ravelry where I was able to grab just "cary" which is never possible) 8y

bellasocks I love to knit beautiful socks. 8y

Hollie I just use my first name and called it good! 😀 8y

Meeko93 I got mine by just buying my Meeko raccoon from Pocahontas pop funk figure and I had installed the app the same day 🐾🐾 8y

jfalkens Boring but its the first letter of my first name and first seven of my last name. 8y

Robothugs @Billypar Someone actually made a post two months or so ago about my handle to see which one people saw first. I believe there were a few more Robo thugs than Robot hugs. 8y

eekabook My initials and the phrase "a book." I was very pleased with myself for coming up with it! ? 8y

MamaGina It's what the beautiful young lady who will be marrying my son in November calls me!💕 8y

Quellek Mine is originally from a side character in Galaxy Quest. I thought it sounded like a good name for a video game character a few years ago and now I use it for lots of things. #byGrabtharshammer #youshallbeavenged 8y

BookishBelle I started out with my name and then decided that wasn't fun enough. So I thought I'd go with bookish something. And I'm a Southerner so I thought Southern Belle...BookishBelle. Tah dah! 8y

Billypar @Robothugs If they sell the results to BuzzFeed make sure you get your fair share of the proceeds 😋 I guess it will probably tell me that I'm more likely to see others as threatening. Or A.I.'s as threatening maybe? 8y

Robothugs Or perhaps that one day a gang of Robo thugs will take over and come for you? 🤔 @Billypar 8y

Cupofjo Hubby calls me his cup of joe, and I'm addicted to coffee. And my nickname is jo! It just fits! 8y

Dorianna Mine is my first name. I liked how my name wasn't taken yet when I signed up for Litsy. 8y

Billypar @Robothugs Eek! 😬 In that case I hope some socially awkward hugging will smooth things over with them. Thugs do need hugs 🤖💞 8y

Bookzombie @Quellek I love that movie! 8y

Bookzombie I think mine is also my name on Twitter, but basically I like books and zombie stuff. Then I realized I devour books like a zombie devours brains. 8y

HippieChickHomeschool Mine is from a blog I wrote like 3 times, and then became my IG and Twitter handle. I wish I had been a little more creative! 8y

Bird Mine is my nickname from my grandmother :) 8y

readordierachel Stared at the wall for a long time, then glanced over and saw my Book Riot tote bag that says "Read or Die." 8y

Read4life Sami's (my daughter) gymnastics club motto is Flip4life. I jokingly told her all the time we spend traveling to competitions and practices with me with a book, my nook or audiobook has made my motto Read4life. It stuck. 🤸🏻‍♀️📚🤓 8y

catsuit_mango It's my parasol protectorat name as per Gail Carriger's post on FB : most frivolous piece of clothing and favorite food :) 8y

StrayCat13 When I was really young, my cousins used to call me Straky. It was short for Stray Cat because apparently I was always just hanging around following them like a stray cat. 8y

Zelma I've used the same one since my internet commenting started, maybe 14 years ago. It was a great-aunt's name and I think it's badass. Not having kids and would never use it as a pet name, so this was my only chance at using it. 8y

Birdsong28 Its a combination of my favourite book, Birdsong by Sebastian Faulks, and my birthday which is 28/04. 📖📚 8y

monkeygirlsmama @PrincessLibrarian Hilariously awesome! 8y

monkeygirlsmama Loving these behind the scenes looks at everyone's names. 🙂 Mine I started using probably 8+ years ago across my email, Twitter, etc. I have two daughters, who at the time were very young and always jumping around, so I called them my silly monkeys. 🐒Therefore monkeygirlsmama because I'm the mama. 😁 And who am I kidding? They're 11 and 13 and still jump all over the place like crazy monkeys, but only one likes bananas. 🍌Hehe 😂 (edited) 8y

Texreader Sheer lack of imagination. 😲😂 8y

Texreader @teebe Haha, me too @Robothugs !! 8y

Astroneman From Power Rangers 8y

WeeWeegieBookworm I'm small and from Glasgow - seemed fitting 8y

bobregina Mine it's just a totally weird and random name that I come up with a few years ago, but I really like it! 8y

BookishRedhead I'm a redhead and I read lol not very creative lol 8y

PennyPistol Me and my husband chose the name I use quite often. A few years back I had an assignment in a class I was taking where we had to come up with two names for a boy and a girl baby. We had to decide on these names with a partner. Obviously the girl name we chose was Penny Pistol, but can't recall the boy name. I liked the name so much it stuck and use it a lot now. (edited) 8y

Jenni_Capps It's official, I am the most uncreative/unimaginative person on Litsy..... 🤷🏻‍♀️ at least I'm easy to find on Instagram and Facebook 😂 8y

AmandaL I just (right now) read chapter 1 in You. Now I get your screen name! 😆 8y

JoeStalksBeck @AmandaL 😉 8y

2BR02B Mine is the title of a short story by Vonnegut. It's pronounced "To be or not to be." 8y

alisiakae Mine is also the name of my blog. I happen to live in the 4th house on the left from the roundabout at the end of my street. 😃 8y

haanim @Robothugs I did wonder how your name came about. Now I know 😆 8y

haanim Mine is my first name because I'm lazy like that, also I figured it was uncommon enough to stand on its own ✊🏽 8y

Merethebookgal @Robothugs I've always read your handle as "robot hugs," and it never occurred to me that it could be "robo thugs" until reading these comments ???‍♀️ 8y

Merethebookgal I think mine is pretty self-explanatory and boring, but I wanted a handle I could use for all by bookish accounts, so "mere" (nickname for Meredith) and "thebookgal" bc it was available ?. So I've got that handle for Litsy, IG, Goodreads, and Twitter, which makes life easier! 8y

Robothugs @Merethebookgal you're not alone 😂 (edited) 8y

tournevis Tournevis is the name of Amonbofis's henchman in Astérix and Cléopâtre, the animated movie. I always loved him a lot. 8y

Bookquilter I am a reader ... I am a quilter ... and I have even "sewn" some hand bound journals. I have been using the handle for almost 10 years on differed platforms. This was a great question... so many interesting answers. 8y

CoffeeCatsBooks Just three things I love ☕️🐱📚 8y

charissharpe Great thread! Now yours makes sense! Mine is b/c I like to chat 😜 8y

Sarah1960 I am just a country girl who LOVES to read, and I always appreciate a good play on words! Just seemed fun! 8y

LittleWonder @JoesStalksBeck. It is of my favorite David Bowie songs from his album Earthling. ⚡️👩🏻‍🎤 8y

Purrfectpages Mine is simple. I combined my love of cats with my love of reading. Great question though! 8y

PirateJenny My name is Jenny (well Jennifer) and I am a pirate geek. Have been since I was a wee lass. As with my Robin Hood obsession, it is completely Errol Flynn's fault. And of course the name works because of the song in The Threepenny Opera. It's my default screen name (if taken, I go to Dreadpiratejenny).And now you can find me everywhere. 8y

Robothugs @PirateJenny Have you ever listened to the song by Nina Simone of the same name? It's 'different' but I love it. 8y

Robothugs @Billypar The chosen one. You must save us all from the robo thugs. Choice of weapon: hugs. 8y

Aseleener Mine is my first and middle names backwards: Lesa Renee. Something my dad called me when I was a little kid. I use it for everything online. 8y

LeahBergen I rushed out and bought a new (compatible) phone as soon as I heard about Litsy and was so damned eager to sign up that I didn't give my user name much thought. And there you have it ... my real first and last name. #TooEager 8y

dragondrool Mine is my made-up screen name for a forum wayback when. I decided I wanted a name with dragon in it and I was drooling a bit with a migraine at the time and my wonky brain melded them together. 8y

TheLondonBookworm I'm clearly a very uninspired namer... if I ever leave London it's going to be awkward 😂😂😂 8y

readinginthedark This used to be the name of my blog. I always used to get in trouble for trying to read without the light on when I was a kid, so... 8y

PirateJenny @Robothugs yes! It's wonderful. 8y

Birdsong28 @TheLondonBookworm There is an option to change names as I know a few have mentioned they have changed theirs. So don't worry! 😂 📖📚 7y
