What's behind your GCID?

[dilldog]

GCID Dilldog 1 Dil the Dog a character from a 70's children's programme called The Herbs. When I got married my hair looked exactly like the dogs hair (it was 80's hair). The name stuck!

[Pixie]

Not familiar with that program, perhaps an image of the namesake is in order.

If you google 'the herbs' there is a wikipaedia article with links, and some youtube clips.

[Pixie]

Thanks, will do just that!

That has to be one of the most complicated reason behind someones gcid/username that I've seen. Very interesting.

Sorry to complicate things, but I was once told I was too "trackable". And I served as a moderator on another forum, so I've been a bit wary of the stalkers I sometimes had to monitor People get kind of funny over the internet.

Didn't mean it in a bad way...

I love cats. ALL cats. In a previous life I really must have been a cat (well, except for that whole graceful thing they have going on.) Many years ago I was naming two beloved seal point Birman kittens joining our family. One name possibility was "Seeley". Though neither of the kittens got that name, I did. And it has stuck.

I've really enjoyed reading these posts--will be back!

My GCID is now defunct since I had to switch from an iPhone to an Android however I use the same ID on both OS's (OSes?! Myke, which is correct!). As many of you I had no idea that I was creating a "handle" that would follow me indefinitely into the future! But it's turned out to be a pretty good one for me--at least an accurate description.

so here's the rather dull explanation:

I am a master/teacher of reiki (hands on healing/energy work)--it's a significant part of my life and of my path on this tiny backwater planet. And I am quite passionate about quilting--the colors, playing with fabric, creating new designs, yadda, yadda, yadda...One day it occurred to me that I could combine these two things into something sellable (well sorta) along with my love of color and rocks (any rocks--crystals, gems, raw stones, all of 'em). So I created 'healing quilts' infused with reiki, embellished with crystals and stones, and full of color and of course in quilt form. (most are based on a medicine wheel design)...thus, 'reiki' + 'quilter' = "reikiquilter" end of story...

(yeah, I'm weird, so what ;p)

I didn't make the game enter account, 'twas the one most of my family used to play games and such. I started DV on this GCOD and do not have the patients to start another one on a different account without a new device (which I can't afford anyway).

Now the reason for the actual name is simple 7 j's because there are 7 people in my family me my 4 younger sibling and my parents, and all of our names start with J. And the number is there probably because it had to be idk.

And since I know you will ask, names are (oldest to youngest):
Jeff Judy Justin Jessica Jacqueline Jenna Jacob (also our dog Jackpot) so I guess that's technically 8 (but I think the dog came after the GCID)

Pluralizing abbreviations is simple - you merely add an S; no apostrophe needed: "OSs". (Adding an apostrophe would imply ownership/possessive.) Even when the abbreviation ends with an S, as does "OS", you still just tag an S on at the end. Piece of cake, eh?

[reikiquilter]

Thanks Myke! Its actually what I thought... ; p

[Kiyoji21]

I'll take a crack at this. Kiyoji is my middle name and since only a handful of people know it (okay well maybe more than a handful now ) I didn't think it was too personal. And since "Kiyoji" was already taken (I hate you whoever you are), I had to add my birth month and day.

[janiera]

I guess I'll tell this one...  Janiera is a character I created for a story while in my early 20s and on Prodigy BBs...  The story was never completed, but the name got taken by me as my nickname almost everywhere...  Strangely enough, it was taken on GC, so I added the 99 to signify the year I married the hubby...

And thinking about it, she was a good sorceress, which normally would be a wizard, which matches the theme of the game...

My full name is Mark Gerard Paul Cramer, so I've been using Magpac or Mharkram for years.

[Coronis]

Well my username is Coronis, and the main site I visit is Smogon. One of my nicknames became Coonis. Natural progression to Cascoonis on a Pokemon site.

Huh, I never put it together, but now that I think about it I've seen you around. Either at Smogon or Serebii or something! (I'm pretty much lurk only over in those areas...)

The serebii user is actually a different guy! I do get random people thanking me for his work heh.

That's an interesting one! Kind of like mine (David Avellan -> Davellan) + ia when Davellan is taken.

Also, sorry for 20 day late reply 

[EuroKnuter]

My GCID is used all over the web as my personal ID (Facebook, almost all message boards, Twitter, et. al.), as this username is never taken. My last name is Knutson (for you non-Scandinavians, pronounced Ka-NOOT-son).

I have 4 younger brothers. When #2 was in high school he picked up the nick name Knuter (pronounced NEW-ter). When #3 showed up, he looked so much like #2 he was called 'Little Knuter'.

By the time #4 showed up, he became Little Knuter, #3 became Knuter, #2 became Big Knuter, and me, living in France at the time, became Euro Knuter.

To fill out the story, #5 became 'sporto.' =)

Welcome aboard euroknuter! And thanks for the pronunciation instructions; I would've been pronouncing it wrong in my head otherwise! Love the story. I guess Euro Knuter sounds better than Old Knuter.
