    Howdy everyone, I was just "flutterin'" through again. I'm getting myself into trouble by loadin' up on all of these fine recipes!! Anyway I really do enjoy reading some of these log on names. It would appear that, with all these interesting names that there are some interesting stories behind them.
    I got my name(The Butterfly Man) from a lot of the people in my town, starting with the civic garden club. I've studied butterflies quite intenisively since I tried starting a butterfly garden for my wife many years ago by planting a butterfly mix packet of seeds.LOL!
    Now I help people around town to attract butterflies to their yards and gardens. I also make butterfly crafts and paint detailed butterflies. I know it's not exactly a "macho" name but SOMEBODY has to do it! So I'd like to hear your stories!

    When my nephew was little, he couldn't say my first name. So I became Neen. First I was Neenabeaners but had puter probs so now I am Neenerbeaners. Nothing too exciting or original!

    I love horses(used to own them before I became disabled) & I have long blonde hair so I am the PalominofillyinMS. Palomino Filly was my "handle" back in the CB radio days of the late 70's.

    Hello ButterflyMan,

    I like butterflies (although I don't know them by name like all you folks over to the butterfly board). When I was 24 I decided that I was ready to leave behind a bad situtation, I was ready to fly free, so to speak. So I got my first butterfly tattoo, and the rest is history. When I first started chatting online I came up with the nickname. The maiden I added on there because I wasn't married. The nickname has stuck with me ever since then. So when I joined here 2 years ago, I just used my nickname. lol.

    Hello all. Nothing too exciting about my name either. I actually tried signing on as Indiana Grandma, since that is what I am to the 4 grandkids in California. Alas, the name had been taken!!!!! Tried a few others & they had been taken also. Since we live on a farm, I finally tried downonthefarm & it was accepted. So here I am down on the farm in Southern Indiana.

    Hi downonthefarm and bud from a fellow Hoosier. I'm at the other end of the state though!

    My nickname is real exciting. It's my initials. Lots of thought went into that nickname. LOL!!!!

    Well, mine is really easy--at the time I chose it (2001) I had one wonderful GKid--now I have 2!

    I used to think I didn't ever want to be called "Granny", but when I heard my little GSon say it for the first time, it was the most beautiful word in the world. ;)

    And now little GDaughter has added a new version: she calls me "Ganny". :)

    But I think I'll leave it as "Grannyfay" because she'll learn to say her "r's" before long. ;)

    I have pretty much the same story as GrannyFay. When I started coming here, I had one grandson who was not quite one year old. He'll be 5 in Sept. and I have 4 more grandchildren. So I'm GrandmaK because my last name starts with K.
