Old_Joe Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 So, I've always wondered what's the story behind some of your screen names. In my case, and others I'm sure, I got it from my Confirmation Saint, Joseph of Cupertino. It was his nickname towards the end of his life. I think it denotes affection, wisdom, that sort of thing. What about everyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noel's angel Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 I was good friends with a priest called Noel and he used to call me his angel and then he died and I joined the phorum a few months later and I thought it would be a good tribute/reminder of us.

IcePrincessKRS Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 haha Hasn't there been a thread about this before? My SN is a nickname I got when I was in college, after 3 different people called me Ice Princess (in relation to different things), unaware that someone else had already called me that, it just kind of stuck, particularly since the last person who gave me the name is my husband. lol KRS are my initials.
