What's the story behind your bb name?

I worked for an online gaming company that was text-based RPG. One of the characters I used had a back history that tied into “rising from the ashes” as in a Phoenix. Her last name was also Flameborne.

I’ve kept it since it is somewhat apropos to an over-haul of my own life not so very long ago.

Not horsey

Tzegdi - my mother’s nickname her African nannies gave her when she was young (she’s now 60 and I am and adult!). Mum was standing in my office when I joined and she saw me straining to think of a goodie, and just blurted it out. It actually has no meaning to me!:lol:

Its my mum’s fault, she couldn’t think of anything more original, so named me after my grandfather! :smiley: But I had to put a 1 after it because the forum wouldn’t let me use just Thomas - seemed that had already been taken :wink:

My son Thomas, who is known exclusively as the very simple “Tom,” is also named after his grandfather Thomas. In today’s world full of Brock’s, and Jaden’s and Sawyer’s and Cooper’s and Declan’s and Spencer’s and assorted other oddites, I personally think the name “Thomas” has become original again. :smiley:

My first dog is Chyna and I’m her mom!

She’s 65lbs of fun-loving pit bull, and we suspect that her first family named her for the lady wrestler with WWE - she’s a tough girl!

Wee boni lass

I’m a fairly short female that loves Scotland.

Well my horse’s registered name is It’s Mr. Winston Sir, and I found it kind of long and odd so I changed it to Never Surrender, a line froma famous speech made by Sir Winston Chruchill in WWII.

I own a mare and her racing name was Whiplash Wanda:smiley:

Your imported? :slight_smile:

My horse’s barn name is Kicky, my first name starts w/ a “J”, my last a “Z” (that’s Zed, not Zee - to me, anyway).

And I’m trying really hard to stop being a lurker/invisible (though it has nothing to do with my SN)

I am a Thoroughbred lover. Tory Relic was the JC name of the first one I ever rode.

I feel for you Thomas, I’m afraid my Mum wasn’t anymore helpful, though I could have been more creative than my name and last name initial. :lol:

I used most of my horse’s names for other things so I didn’t use it here as my user name too. If I just had more time I’m sure I could have come up with something cute, geez. Or maybe not! :winkgrin: I sure do like these icons though. :yes:

I think you’re right, everything old becomes new again. :wink:

I have an uncle, cousins and nephew named Thomas.

Nothing clever here…

My horse’s nickname is Pete and I’m his person. Since he’s a registered paint (breeding stock) and the APHA doesn’t allow punctuation in registered names (Pete’s registered name is Tramps Dude), I thought I’d be lazy and drop the possessive apostrophe… then I stayed lazy and dispensed with the caps and the space. I find it humorous when other posters refer to me as Pete’s Person… as I try to squash my inner editor, they let theirs loose… hee hee…

I was reading about arias on the web, and we overlook a ridge, hence “ariaridge”. I wanted something short and nice sounding. I may even name our farm that too! :yes:

Not really creative: I have 2 horses. D (short for Dedric) and L (for Leonaro).

Of course both of them have other names depending on the situation :wink:

Mine’s pretty obvious, too. In the last decade, I’ve owned 4 Andalusians–still own 3. Totally love the breed! :yes:

Mines really easy…

I own a paint named Grace! Thus…mypaintgrace.

mine is pretty boring. Just answering the question I hear when I bring my babies to show … my friends and trainers are always asking what are you doing with so and so here today A: Hackinaround

DocHF derives from Dr. Horsefeathers, the original title when I started on the old USDF BB around 1996.

Horsefeathers is self explanatory. Anything I say should be liberally salted. And I earned the title Dr. after too many years in university. Who knew I just had to send $22.95 to an internet diploma school to get that title?
