How did you come up with your INTERCOT name?

[illBEyouPRINCEcharming]

Ive always read posts, even before i became a memebr of intercot and noticed how creative everyone was with their intercot names.... How did you come up with it? Is there a story behind it?

I suppose ill start. My Best Friend Mandee and i have been going to disney every year now for about 4 years and introduced me to Intercot. Her INTERCOT name was "IwannaBEaPRINCESS" so, of course, i came up with "illBEyourPRINCEcharming".......notice the "R" in the word "your".....well, foolish me forgot the R when i was typing it in when registering so now i am what i am..... but yes, thats the story behind my INTERCOT name...:party:

[Boojum]

I'm a literature buff, and one of my favorite poems is by Lewis Carroll--it's called "The Hunting of the Snark."

One of the characters in the poem is called a boojum, and I've always loved the way that word sounds.

[MickeyandTink]

Mine was pretty simple. DW's favorite character is Tinkerbell :tink: and she had bought me a Mickey T-shirt in anticipation of our trip :mickey2: . We even bought a Tinkerbell baseball hat for her and a Mickey hat for me yesterday while out at the Disney Outlet store.

When I discovered Intercot :rocks: while researching information for our trip, it just seemed to make sense to put the two together.

[Disneytrotters]

Our story is a little odd. But then, so are we!!!:blush: One day we were discussing that the shoes we had purchased in Downtown Disney were starting to wear out and needed to be replaced. So, we planned to go on a shopping trip to see if we could find any even half as comfortable. As we were leaving, my partner said, 'are you ready to find some new Disney Trotters?' I thought that was a great name for our new shoes, so when I registered here :rocks: I used that as a name!!!

I even have a namebadge (won in a trivia contest) that says Disneytrotters!!!:cool:

[SBETigg]

My husband has called me Tigger since one of our first few dates, long before he knew I was so hooked on Disney. Tiggers are apparently common around here (I'm not the only one?) so I added my initials.

[baby minnie's mommy]

My DD(2) is a big fan of Minnie, and when she saw Minnie at AK for the first time she was on :cloud9: The joy I saw in her eyes that day is something I want to remember! She has a tiny plush Minnie she loves and calls "Baby Minnie." I wanted a name that honored my little "baby minnie" so that's why I picked mine. :)

[just2mickey]

My classroom has a pair of ears painted on the wall the size of two elephants. I have the Mickey theme everywhere. I put decals on trash cans, folders, mousepads, bulletin boards, front and back doors, you name it. So...everyone knows that I love Disney (especially the mouse). A friend of mine once said, "My Lord, you are just too much of a Mickey freak for me." It stuck. I then became just2mickey. I really wanted dolewhip but some fine person already had it and I totally get why! Way to go dolewhip!

[GenieOfPA]

my fav disney character is the genie from aladdin, and he is the "genie of the lamp" so i am the "genie of pennsylvania". every place needs a genie!

[pook@wdw]

My DH gave me the nickname "Pookie Buns" soon after we were married (28 yrs ago), ergo Pook, for short, and that's what all my family calls me now. And I want to be @ WDW every waking moment. Hence, the name Pook @WDW. :D

[2Epcot]

The license plate on my car used to be 2Epcot, before I moved to CA.

[tinksmom02]

Tink is my and my DD's favorite character*, DD was Tink for Halloween when she was 3, and she was born in '02. She's my little Pixie! :tink:

*Tink has recently lost a little luster, since DD became aquainted with one Captain Jack Sparrow.

[Natazu]

INTERCOT name? Nâhtazû is actually my name.

[pogo]

I picked mine because it was quick and easy to type.:blush:

It was also a comic strip character which gives away my age. I'm 56 years :old:

I also got tired of trying all the disney characters names a thousand times without any luck.:whew: :D

[jennbunn]

my co-workers started calling me jennbunn after i got married. so when i needed a screen name it was the first thing that came to mind. :)

[grumpyguy]

i am a grumpy guy............except at wdw.:thumbsup:

[Diznee4Me]

The DW purchased a license plate a few years ago at EPCOT that read "DIZNEE4ME." I also tried a lot of different Disney names, all of which were taken, and then I thought about that plate, the rest is Intercot history. :D

[Marker]

my story is not so creative...

My name is Mark, there was already a member named "mark" ( who apparently joined a month before I did, and posted 3 times), so I went with Marker.

I know, it's not very creative, but it was easy to remember my own name. (actually, I have used Marker as a user name in other places too because "Mark" is usually already taken).

[Frank Bullitt]

I drive a green 'Bullitt" edition mustang & steve mcqueen is one of my heroes.

[January-2007]

When I signed up here we were just starting to plan our wedding/ honeymoon and had picked the date. When? January 2007! :mickey:

[DVC2004]

Mine's a no-brainer sadly! I am a DVC member and I joined DVC in 2004. Now that I think about it there's probabaly several more interesting names I could have come up with.

[Figgyluv03]

I love Figment and whenever I go to the parks I always end of missing him, so I'm hoping this is good luck for my next trip and 03 came about because that's the year DB and I started dating.

[Mousefever]

When I discovered Intercot I had just gotten back from our first family trip to Disney World and couldn't wait to go back. Or to put it another way, I was in a fever to get back to the mouse!


:dory:

[c&d]

Chip and Dale are my favorite characters. Most of the Chip and Dale name combinations were already being used so I just went with their initials.

[kakn7294]

Mine is the same as my Ebay name which came about by mistake. I'm a nurse and at work we have a computerized machine to store the narcotics. It requires a user name and password. My user name is the first 2 initials of my first and last name - kakn. The password is a 4 number combo but it's not the same as the one here - it's my wedding anniversary date at work. When I signed onto Ebay, I messed up when I typed it in and I've been stuck with it ever since - and it's so far off that I've yet to figure out how I messed it up in the first place. It has absolutely no meaning to me but now I kinda like it. When I signed on here, I lacked creativity and just used the same name.

[TheMartellFamily]

This one is easy, DH was thinking outside the box on this one. Ha ha ha ha

[CandleontheWater]

Candle on the Water was DH and I's first dance song at our wedding and Pete's Dragon has always been my favorite live action Disney movie.

[Sean Riley Taylor's Mom]

No brainer here..I wanted something that would not be easy to forget. ;)

Sean is my 9 (almost 10) year old son, Riley is my 7 year old son and Taylor is my 3 year old Princess. I'm their Mom. :cloud9:

[SgtTigger]

I was a Sergeant in my Sheriff's office and I love Tigger.... so Sgttigger



Now I am a Lieutenant ..... but I still love tigger......



:cop: :tigger:

[Kate In Wonderland]

Well, my name is Kate and I'm an Alice fan, and I wish I was with her in Wonderland! (hey that rhymed! :thumbsup: )

[Donald Duck 224]

Took my favorite character and put my 2 favorite numbers together. I no very creative.

[BriarRose0708]

one of my all time favorite movies is Sleeping Beauty so that's where BriarRose comes from, and 0708 is my birthday, July 8th.:mickey:

[drummerboy]

I started playing drums at the tender age of 47 and now I'm a volunteer drummer for a 50-piece concert band and a 20-piece fest band, as well as occasional pickup bands and pit bands for musicals. Looks like I might be doing the occasional contemporary worship service soon, too.

Thus and therefore--Drummerboy.

[Dsnygirl]

:mickey: Mine's pretty self-explanatory... I've always been known as an "ocean girl" since I love going to Maine every summer. Well, when I needed to come up with a name for this site, "Disney girl" naturally came to mind, and then I just shortened it! My DH says it describes me perfectly... :blush:

[vizsla]

My name is pretty easy. It is named after my favorite breed of dog in which I have 4 of.

[CrazyStitch]

I usually go by the name DarkProwler on most every other messageboard I post on, but I wanted something different here. So I picked my favorite character's name. I tried StitchFan at first, but it was already taken. So I started thinking of words to described Stitch, and "crazy" was the first thing that came to mind. :stitch2: :stitch:

[DisneyNeckCoolers]

I always love reading these types of threads!

Just as many of you have experienced, my first choices were already taken. But, then I thought that since I make Disney neck coolers, why not try that. Voila! DisneyNeckCoolers is my name!

[LizLovesDiz]

I thought this was kinda catchy !!:mickey:

[Mickey91]

I have loved Mickey since I was 2 and my wedding was in 91!:mickey:

[MR SANDERS]

My favorite character lives under the name of Sanders.
"It means he had the name over the door in gold letters and Pooh lived under it.":pooh:

[mm59]

Just Mickey Mouse and My age:thumbsup: :mickey:

[Grace]

:mickey:
My soon-to-be husband gave me my knickname when he watched me trip down some stairs, then turn my ankle at the curb and lose my shoe. I have been Grace- ful ever since!

[Wolf]

My mom (who I mention so often on here) started calling me "Wolf" a few years ago, I got the japanese kanji for wolf tattoed on me last year.

[sleepingbooty]

I always love this thread, it comes up every once in a while. At the time I was planning our first trip, our daughters were younger and their speech wasn't as clear yet. I asked them who their favorite princesses were, and they announced, "Cindewella and Sweepingbooty". So I went with Sleepingbooty - it was just too cute. I'm sure some people think I just have a lazy rear end:confused:

[dumbo ears]

Well I got my name from the fact that I have bigears and the one disney character with huge ears that I remembered is Dumbo. So that is how Dumbo ears was created.

[TikiGoddess]

I have always been a fan of the Tiki Room -- both incarnations. When my DH and I went to WDW together in 2002, we saw the new Tiki Room for the first time, and loved the animatronic Tiki Goddess, Uh-Oha.

And of course, I am a Goddess. :D

TikiG

[ihavealipfreckle]

My name is Emily... and I have a lip freckle. That's the whole story. I have many other freckles on my face, but I have one dark one right on my bottom lip. A little off to the left. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

[snifflesmcg]

Ok, I'm a bit generic. This is just the name I use for EVERYTHING. My email is this and it's just easier to use this than find new names.

[Kate In Wonderland]

Candle on the Water was DH and I's first dance song at our wedding and Pete's Dragon has always been my favorite live action Disney movie.

I love that song! I cry everytime I hear it! That's so great that you used it for your first dance. :)

[aurora, ariel, and bell]

It's interesting to see how the names were chosen. I have 3 granddaughters, aurora (sleeping beauty), ariel and bell. Three disney princesses. thus my name. i can hardly wait to take them to see mickey!

[SpecJoe Magic]

My first name is Joe, and I'm a big fan of Spectro Magic. I replaced "tro" with my first name to create SpecJoe Magic. It has a nice ring to it because Joe rhymes with "tro.":)

[mrsgaribaldi]

Contrary to what people may think, Garibaldi is not my name. I used to have a great cat named Mr Michael Garibaldi. My boyfriend at the time was a big Babylon 5 fan and named him after the security chief on that show. Unfortunately, Mr Garibaldi died suddenly 3 years ago of a heart problem at the tender age of 3. If you look at my avatar, there's a tiny pic of a black and white cat on the bottom left side, right under Al, that's Mr Garibaldi. I started using the name Mrs Garibaldi for various things when he was alive and I just used it for here.

[Not2Loud]

My last name is Loud.

People always feel the need to ask me if I am loud.

I am a fairly laid back person, thus the name of

Not2Loud.

[mdricks]

Boy do i feel un-creative.
