So is mine! More specifically, a house we built on a whim which is what capriccio means in Italian.

Mine is the nickname my college roommate gave me. People usually assume Benny is my DH, but it's not his name 🙂 

I chuckled when I first saw your handle on here, because that is what DH calls me.  Over the decades, it's been shortened to just 'JB'.  😊

[cristine]

Brain freeze...I used my name😔

[Justprettynpink]

My favorite movie 🙂

[Cruise Raider]

I always helped several friends and family book cruises, finding them the best deal I could.  While at work one day, one of the IT guys said I should start a monthly newsletter about cruising.  He asked about my DH's loves and I told him it was all about football.  He just loves those Raiders and was a season ticket holder for many years before they headed to Vegas. 

Anyway, the IT guy came up for a name for my newsletter, Cruise Raider, which I never did start.  No way did I want to turn my passion into a responsibility.    

 

BTW, I love this post ... so much better than all the negativity we've seen over the last year.  And, BTW, I am a Packer fan ... so there you have it!!

I had just retired and was not being too creative.  The avatar was my work ride, I couldn't be a school teacher...

[CruisinCouple2010]

After seeing so many people with great creativity I wish I had put more time into our handle. My DH and I love to cruise so thus CruisinCouple and 2010 was the year we joined cruise critic.

It's all good but I have read that CC will consider a handle change if you write them.

Mine came from a dive master in Cozumel.  We used to dive four times a year there, and all my dive gear is yellow.  My husband had stayed on shore for one dive, and I was buddied up with a dive master. When we finally surfaced and returned to shore, he walked up to my husband and said, “Tu espoza es un Pescado Amarillo.” And it just stuck.

[ICANDIGIT]

From my younger days playin volleyball. Now I play pickleball.

[gotta cruise again]

Mine is self explanatory.

 

However, my DH says if he was on CC, his handle would be Gotta Pay For Another Cruise Again !!!

I left Nellis in 1980.  Was there on the ranges from 75 - 80.  Mostly up at TTR (Tonopah Test Range)

 

Very interesting to see what was involved in putting one of those exercises together.  I assume the aggressor squadron was still flying F-5's then?

 

What did you think of the exercise?  The concept seems to have accomplished what it was intended to do post Vietnam.

This was a long time ago. I had just bought plants for spring planting, so Plant came to me.  

[PurpleHays]

We were planning our honeymoon cruise (10 years in June!) My favorite color is purple and my new last name was going to be Hays. Thus, PurpleHays. I've used it in a couple of other places, including PurpleHaze.

[AZ Ocean Lover]

While I find beauty in the desert (have lived in Arizona for 40 years) all of our vacations are at a beach or ocean somewhere.  Seemed fitting for a name.

[Thrak]

Too convoluted to explain how the name came about. I originally used it when playing Dark Age of Camelot and then used it for Geocaching when I quit gaming and went outside into the real world. When I made an account here after our first cruise I just transitioned the name again. I will say that it has absolutely nothing to do with King Crimson.

[Luvtennis6060]

Pretty self explanatory.  I love playing tennis and cruising .

[highloyo]

A term/bet on the craps table. Over 30 years ago I was winning quite a bit  one evening on the craps table to the extent I put money on High, Low, and Yo for fun. It hit 5 times in a row. Pressing and 2 parlays it shot my winnings way over the top. It was about that time I established a personal email account and have kept this moniker ever since. By the way, never again have I won that much or even gotten close. 

[Host CJSKIDS]

Must say that I’m loving this thread!  Love learning why everyone picked their names and having a very upbeat thread. 
 

We moved from LI to Naples, Fl in 1999 with our 3 young kids and were in the DMV registering the cars. We were both doing a personalized license plate when the kids said “what about us”?!  So we did our initials plus kids....CJSKIDS!

 CArla; SOnia; FIona; LInda; IAin   The last two were twins so we didn't use a double "ii".   Four daughters and a son which almost translated it as "House of Girls"

[NoWhiners]

My favorite beer, which I can't buy in our state anymore, had this as their motto. Plus, it suited me!
