my hubbys name is Mike, and he calls me his girl, hence MikesGurl. I know it is kinda dumb to use hubby/wife names in ur screename, but he is my soulmate and that will never change.

Well mine isn't as interesting as some of yours (sorry Homer I knew you were just a huge fan of Homer Simpson). All JD stands for is my name.

Thanks, just.. I've been tempted to drop it (like he dropped me) and just use my own name here, but I'm just too sentimental.  Besides, it's original.  :)

My nickname (Tponka) was what Michael (my ex, and the only man I've ever loved) called me.  My real name is Tonya, and I am Russian.  (Well, my family came from Russia around the time of the Revolution..)  I never learned the language well, just enough conversational and phrases to get by when the "elders" came around during holidays.  I'm working on my PhD in mathematics, and one of the requirements is to pass a basic literacy test in Russian, German, or Italian, the three languages (besides English) in which the majority of math journals are originally published.  Obviously, I chose to learn Russian, so my mom got me a set of textbooks to learn the language on my own and gave them to me for Christmas.  When I opened the box, with Michael next to me, he looked at the title and asked what they were.  I said that they were Russian language books.  He read the title out loud, using English pronunciation of the Cyrillic letters as "ta-PONK-uh."  He then asked if that was my name written in Russian.  I explained to him that it was actually the word "troika," which is a common Russian cart pulled by horses. 
The word "troika," written in Cyrillic is spelled T P O backwards N K A.  So from then on, he called me Tponka, as my pet name.  And being a singer/songwriter/performer by hobby, he recorded a version of John Lennon's "Yoko Song," replacing the name Yoko with Tponka.
That is a very sweet story!  Thanks for sharing it with us

I'm humble and lovable like Underdog and when I'm needed I take my "Super Energy Vitamin Pill" (oh baby)  I always help my friends when they need me.
