How did you come up with your user name? I see some very interesting ones and always wonder.

My story is not amazing. I use my name but add the A, since most sites tell me, "Sorry, Cyndi is taken." I figure life around here is hectic enough without trying to remember my other names (-:

Boring as it may be Jo is my name. My full name is Joanne but my family and some friends who have known me a long time call me Jo. My dad and mom do. My dad used to call me Joey.

My screen name is unique to this site and has a bittersweet meaning.  And no AnnaBanana, I'm not a conjoined twin. 

I didn't use my aol screenname because I thought that my college friends from Tennessee might locate me easier thru this name because they knew both names.

Gigi has been my nickname since my freshman year in college.  I was a cheerleader, gymnast, and dancer.  The girls always had cute names that would fit into a rhyme-scheme for cheers and mine didn't.  They were trying to decide on a nickname and I said, "Oh, gee, I'll never have a cute nickname."  When I said that one of the girls said, "That's it--we'll call her Gigi!" 

Adonai means "my secret or my confidante."  I was madly in love with the star of our college soccer team.  I was also on again, off again with my highschool sweetheart who was now attending Liberty University in VA.  Well, the soccer player and I established a very close friendship and we were falling in love.  We vowed that if neither of us was married by the time we graduated college that we would marry.  We didn't want to go public so our love for each other became a secret, thus the nickname. 

Adonai, me and three other cheerleaders were in a car accident.  A dump truck hit our car and Adonai was killed on impact.  I was holding his hand when he took his last breath.  In the blink of an eye he was taken into eternity. 

When I joined Viewpoints in August it was exactly one week before what would have been his birthday.  I had that on my mind so when I had to choose a screen name I chose GigiandAdonai.  I have no regrets because now I feel as if I have him with me always and just seeing his name makes me feel good.

How did I come up with this name Vixen View Treasures?  Take a seat and sit a while, LOL.

When I first signed-up for eBay I wasn't sure what to have for an ID (LOL).  I tried to come up with something new that would be a unit thing and yet could be sort of personal.  Never really did come up with much there, LOL.  However, we live in a development called Vixen View (there were a lot of foxes in the area).  I originally thought since the items are coming from our home, it was a nice way to make a connection between home and cleaning up the home to make money; at least temporarily. Well, as things would have it, while I was learning more and more about eBay and therefore using the ID more and more in the eBay groups, I came to be identified with the nickname, Vixen, that is a part of the ID (people tend to shorten the longs names because it's easier when you are chatting in groups); so it just stuck.  I became very active making name tags and had people make me gift tags all with the name Vixen which further locked me to that identity. So now I either use the whole name or parts of it for most of my on-line activity.

Greeneyedlady, kinda says it all. My eyes are green, not hazel, but they do have some interesting gold flecks in them. I had to to add the 929 (my b-day) because AOL said there were others with the same screen name.
The screen name I used a long time ago, was given to me by my grandkids, who call me Nana. They always say "Nana, you're nuts" and so I used NutzyNana. I had to stop using that one because of all the "porn" spam I got.
