    Middle name?????????? What are its other names. Cant wait to find


    her whole name (it's an AKC thing, you register your dog with the oddest name possible, as there's probably a million dogs called Fluffy, Rocky, etc) is made up of some very silly stuff. Her whole name is Peetle Littlepaws O' Poohheart, as she was so small when we got her we called her "Beetle puppy, beetle puppy" then slipped verbally into 'Peetle puppy, Peetle puppy" and it stuck, as she did seem pretty Peetlish. teh middle name ought to be obvious, she was only about 2 pounds and a couple ounces when I got her, and the last name is from my ex's native language, Urdu, he said one day while looking at her in total adoration," Oh she is the pooh of my heart!" (This is the same guy who wanted a wolf-hybrid for a dog, or a rottweiler.) In His language, pooh is 'kiss'. The O part is because I love Ireland. So the name stuck, no other dog could have that combination of names and she got registered. Oh yeah, she's a small little five pound , seven year old Maltese that will kick you ass if you make fun of her name. Don't think she won't, the last person that did got a sockful of padlocks upside the ankle.

    Oh google is fcuking funny; I ran Peetle through it and there is a drink named for her, evidently.

    Who knew, lol,my baby dog likes to drink..a "Lady Peetle".



    Jesus, I have way too much time on my hands today...her photo also comes up as well as atiny image of a painting I did of her. Sh*t, my website with her on it is nowhere on the first page...dang.

    Quite simple and boring, as it is my nickname, but on other sites i have diff names.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,123 ✭✭✭stepbar


    a mix of my name and my brothers, once upon a time we shared an email address (back in the day :D) and I kept the name.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,672 ✭✭✭deman


    I've been using Deman for some years now but it all started when I first started playing online games such as Fall of Nations, Imperium Rising and Torn City. Originally I was using d_mac to indicate my first initial and as I'm a Mc, I used mac. It evolved through time to become deman with the stress on the second syllable, sounding like "the man". And as I was always a Ric Flair (wrestler) fan, he always was "the man" and "to be deman, you gotta beat deman" which was my motto in the online games.

    Hope I didn't bore you :D

    There are people who would cringe at the thought of being from Muff :D

    Sorry, but no connection to the little village (well it used to be once upon a time)

    Now then geekGirl we are all very anxious to know how you invented your user name. Lets hope that its got nothing to do with geek :eek:
