[lennon-mccartney]

Mine's Lennon - McCartney because my web-site is based on these two sisters of soul.
Also because they fascinate me, even whilst drinking tea.

Hmmm, where do I begin? Well, my mother and father met, blah blah blah. Really the name is their doing, not mine.http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/images/icons/grin.gif

I AM an Original Fan of the Fab Four. I go waaaaay back to the days of Beatlemania, so, my Username was an obvious choice! It really didn't take much "originality" to come up with it!!!!!

I have stayed true to my alma mater. Our school mascot is a Bearkat and I got paroled http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/images/icons/wink.gif in '77.

[SleepyHead]

Ummm, well, a whole year ago, when we left the dark ages of the Commodore 128 behind, I had to get my Mom (STOP LAUGHING, COL!!) to come show me how to get on the internet, and all that other stuff I kinda take for granted now. Anyhow, she insisted I needed ICQ, downloaded it, and asked me what nickname I wanted...I said, "Whaat? what's wrong with MY name?" Being a true mother, she said no way, and since I worked nights and have always been hard to wake up, assigned me the handle "SleepyHead"...and I've been sleepy ever since,...
And as Paul Harvey says, "And NOW you know the REST of the story!" http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/images/icons/smile.gif

[PennyLane]

Hi.

I was just wondering about the significance of user names. Jerry's is self explainitory (I am guessing Jerry is his name.) But what about everyone else? I think I have explained mine before, but Penny Lane is my favorite song, and I am Penny Lane in a story my friend wrote. (Long, long, story.) Any one else have a story about how their user name came to be?

I just like the sound of Elementary Penguin. I had never considered using it a handle, though, until I started visiting Beatles web boards.

[SleepyHead]

We've experienced a funny swap in the familial roles over the years...

In university, I was the first of the family to learn programming...this was in the dark ages of Basic A, Fortran, Cobol, and Pascal. Just a year later, my sister acquired a Mac and we were off, me teaching Mom how to do simple programming, editing some of her work, simplifying some programs and making others do more complicated things. Boy, Mom took after the computer like a duck to water, and in no time flat every word out of her mouth was Greek to me! She passed me up like a freight train racing a skateboard, LOL!

We spent almost a month last year hollering at my mom for "Help!" everytime we wanted to do something like download or install a game. Then I found out about homepages, and was determined to have one...lo, and behold, Mom had no clue what I was talking about! All of a sudden, I was in uncharted territory again...and I don't feel anywhere so inferior now http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/images/icons/smile.gif

[Marz]

Well, my real name is Maral and my last name starts with a "Z" (That's zed for you Col.) Since I was young my brothers always called me Marz. It's only used occasionally as a term of endearment now. Excpet by you guys!

[PennyLane]

So, is it pronounced Marzie or Mahrz or Mairz or how?

[Elementary Penguin]

I'm pretty sure that it is not pronounced "how"! http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/images/icons/wink.gif

[SleepyHead]

LOL, Penguin, I'm almost sure you're right! Thanks for the laugh!

[jtal909]

When I applied for an aol address with jtal, they offered me that with 6 numbers following. The first 3 numbers after jtal (first initial and partial last name) were 909 and I thought, " Cool, One After The 909!" I eliminated the last 3 and they accepted.

[DIGIT]

Having always known that there was more than the short intro to "Let It Be" on the Lp,I was pleased to find the long version of 'Dig It'.Since I'm a male,that other bootleg song 'Mary Jane',could not do for me.SO I am DIGIT.

------------------

[PennyLane]

Dig it? I always thought it was Digit, like a number.

[lennon-mccartney]

Or a finger!
I thought that too, penny.

------------------
http://www.angelfire.com/stars/LennonMcCartney/lennonmccartneylink.gif (http://www.angelfire.com/stars/LennonMcCartney)

[lennon-mccartney]

Oh, there's a Beatles song called digit is there? Don't think so!
Dig It, maybe!

------------------
http://www.angelfire.com/stars/LennonMcCartney/lennonmccartneylink.gif (http://www.angelfire.com/stars/LennonMcCartney)

[Harbidge]

LenMc. Let's take the song title, Dig It'. This is how it becomes digit...

It is rare for people to use capital letters in a username (I use one because it's second nature as it's my surname) becausr it's just easier.

Spaces are either not allowed in usernames or are just too irritating to use, so not many people use them. Look in this forum. I don't think there's a single person with a space in their user name. A dash maybe, but no space.

So, using these guidelines, 'Dig It' becomes 'digit'.

Get out of that one LenMc. Ha, you can't can you? I win again!

[Marz]

Very creative len-mac. Penny for your info. it's pronounced "mars" as in the candy bar or the planet. And Penguin, that was really funny! I got a laugh out of that one.

As for Digit, I'm going to have to agree with len-mac and penny, I too thought it was a finger! But then again, I'm not the Beatle buffs you all are, so I don't even know that song. You learn something new everyday.

[bearkat77]

Don't worry Digit, I knew you used a Beatle song for your user name.

------------------
Bearkat77's Beatlemaniac Page (http://www9.50megs.com/bearkat77)

[Harbidge]

What! So you both thought that someone would come on calling themselves the proper English name for a finger or a number??? The nearest the Beatles got to fingers was when Ringo almost had his chopped off in Help! to get the ring! Silly people. (You run around, and never win, and wonder why you don't get through my door!)

Don't worry Digit. I knew that you were named after a Beatles song on the Let It Be album.

[SleepyHead]

I, too, knew it was Dig It... but I'd never heard of the song until Bearkat and I were compiling info for his site.

As a matter of fact, it didn't dawn on me until Penny and Col posted that those letters could be taken as a single word (oh, Lordy, I'm coming down with a hard case of OBD!!!) http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/images/icons/smile.gif

------------------
Bearkat77's Beatlemaniac Page (http://www9.50megs.com/bearkat77)

[PennyLane]

As you all know, I used a song for my user name too. I use caps, so it is PennyLane. I could have used pennylane and it would be understood, as pennylane is not a real word, and we all know it solely as a song. However, 'digit' is a word, and so it can only be concluded that if he had meant the song, he would have used a capital, space, dash, or other such mark of puncuation. Because he did not, LenMc and I only came to the obvious conclusion that the user name was intended as the word, not the song title.

[pat]

just shows ta go ya, ya can never take anything for granted.
i'm Pat, 'cos I am. and its Irish, and I have a really bad memory, so never remember things like user names, i get confused!!

http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/images/icons/confused.gif

[Elementary Penguin]

I, too, read digit as meaning either a numeral or finger. Even now, despite knowing the correct pronounciation, I still misread it as digit and not dig it.

[DIGIT]

I surely did not realise my user name would mean different things to different people.As some have figured,the name is taken from the short intro from "Let It Be',not a number or single limb or anything like that,just a simple song title or part of one.If I may change it forevermore to DIG IT,it will be understood by more people.Thank You.

The name "Eppy" comes from the late Brian Epstein. The genius we all know as "Paperbackwriter" bestowed it upon me when we met. You see, my real name is Brian, and Pbkwtr quickly made the corrolation and that has been my most popular nickname ever since (except for maybe "God" ((don't ask)) ).

My first name is Lucy and that is why I use it. It just so happens I was named after "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" because my mother thought it was a nice sounding name when she first heard the song.

I must say this is the first time that I have actually been able to use my given name in a Beatles-related site - of course I can understand why it is usually taken but please know that it is actually my name and it is just convenient that it is also part of a Beatles song title!!

That and "It's a cold place" everytime it's cold and " they all look alike in their similitude and language" ...for the heck of it.. but those two weren't as appealing for screen names.

"Strawberry Fields Forever" is my favorite song, and I'm also a science fiction/fantasy writer in my spare time (when I'm not on the Internet, that is!) I write Beatles SF fanfic, and I'm also in the middle of a fantasy trilogy which I hope to sell someday. Abbreviating the song title the way I do allows me to combine two interests in one nickname.
