I was very surprised that I could use my real name because on many places I have to change it to use it at all. One place I had to double the last a, one place add numbers after. I don’t use it in real life because the school kids use to sing song it like Pollyanna. Most people know me as Julie and occasionally some call me Jules.
Try always to be kind. If you can do anything for someone kindness is always a good thing, that costs nothing.

Mine pretty much describes the typical person the Cartwrights would come across—just passing through. :thumbup

Nothing special here either! A LONG time ago I made an account on the DeviantART website and used the username "Forstyrraxx" ('Forstyrra' means disturbed in norwegian, the two xx's was just for random decor). People starting calling me Forsty for short and since then I've used Forsty as my online name!

(It often gets mistaken for Frosty :lol )

I don’t put a lot of deep thought into names such as this. I signed up on a superhero discussion board many years ago. I tried a couple things that were already taken, but herofan was open, so I went with that.

At my alma mater we have a statue of Will Rogers and his trusty horse, Soapsuds. The nickname I used to use on the internet was a horribly tacky combination of my initials and numbers, and Soapsuds sounded western enough for a Bonanza forum, so there you have it.

Your nicks are so much more original than mine. Mine is just a combination of my married name and my maiden name.
