So, my email calls me "beautiful magnifying glass".

I didn't know if he would care for me using his name, so I just use his initials, DD.

Originally Posted By ecdc ecdc was my very first online screen name or username when I first set up an eBay account, many moons ago. I truthfully don't remember what I was thinking when I did it, or if it was really supposed to mean anything. Eric Clapton is my favorite musician, and my dad lives in Washington, DC, and I love it there, so my guess is it's one of those or a combination of both. Ever since then, I've wanted to just use the same screen name when I can. On the one hand, I wish I'd come up with something a little bit cooler or more creative. On the other, I don't want to be some pop culture reference followed by 12 different numbers just to distinguish myself from all the other people who picked that name (i.e., darth_vader16739204).

Originally Posted By Walter Elias What can I say...I stole my name, obviously. But, I have a fascination with Walt Disney and his life. Could you imagine being Walt, looking down Main Street toward your fairytale castle, and watching people from all over the world enjoy what you helped create? Anyway, if you've never read it, I highly recommend the book, "Walt Disney-An American Original" by Bob Thomas. This is the best biography I have ever read.

Originally Posted By Kira Mine is plain and simple...my first name of course! There is cute story that goes along with my name though. My mom named me after the girl gelfling in Jim Henson's "The Dark Crystal". For years she thought it was a Disney movie (I corrected her on this mistake a little over a year ago). 3 years after having me she became pregnant with my younger brother. She wanted him to have a "disney" name as well. His first name comes from my grandfather but his for the middle name she chose "Dale". So Kira is my not-so-disney first name!
Originally Posted By llanatoye Mine is so not original and I wish I had taken the time and thought and put it into a better Disney name. But I was in a hurry to get my point across and do some venting and just used my name which is Llana Toye (insert last name). My Dad named me and he never told why there was two L's in Llana but the Toye was because after 3 boys I was his darling little girl and he wanted a "girlie name". Sadly, I turned out to be a tomboy, well who wouldn't with three older brothers?
