Mine is from the poem of the same name by Paul Gallico. I don’t remember all of it, but it starts:

There is a hole in Misery’s fence…

I hope you’re not in any misery? 😃 I know Jesus brings joy the world doesn’t understand and can’t take away.

TY for sharing. God bless you.
 
Trishie said:
Mine is what my siblings called me when I was a child, and some still occasionally call me.

“Trishie” was the last word my brother David said to me over the phone some hours before he died in a car accident in 2002.
David always said “I love you, Trishie”, with warmth, at the end of every phone-call.

It’s got loving family ties and sad wonderful memories. Real special. Thanks for sharing and may God comfort you always.
 
“Masuwerte” (or “maswerte”) is Pilipino for “lucky.” My dear wife is Filipina, and I’m lucky.🙂

Very sweet and romantic. Who says us guys can’t be romantic? May I use you as an example of a real romantic male?
 
Mine is a reference to a hero of mine, Quintus Fabius Maximus Cunctator, a Roman consul and general who led the fight against Hannibal’s army in Italy through a strategy that is now dubbed as “Fabian tactics.”
 
‘‘Guy’’ (the French Guy not the American guy lol) was my declared identity when I first volunteered for la Légion étrangère.

Guyonthestreet is a reference to the fact I am no longer a serving soldier after a very long and happy career.
 
Just my initials, last name, establishing some measure of personal branding.
 
Mine is just a shortened form of my first name (and my family nickname when I was younger - although it was also sometimes Jay-Jay.) The numbers signify 5 total members of my family and 3 children.

BTW, this is a cool thread. Thank you for starting it! 👍

Very interesting; thank you. I wish I knew history better.

Let me show my ignorance: What’s the difference a French Guy and an American guy?​

Is that the Foreign Legion?​

You’ve got some very interesting stories to tell, I’m sure. Thanks for sharing a bit about yourself.

God bless.

You’re very welcome; and thank you for sharing.​

I call my oldest Jay; I used to call her JW or JDub (think about it it’s short for JW)​

I love things that remind us of our families. God bless.
 
Mine is after the cartoon tweety bird. I liked tweety and everone at work called me mom. Hence I am tweetymom on everything.

The way it’s pronunced.

Yep … that’s the one 👍
 
“Highwayhound” is a moniker to describe where my dog and I spend most of our time. I bicycle to parts far and wide. My dog, Star, either runs along or rides on the trailer. I look for chances to help people as I pedal along the way. Soup kitchens, thrift stores, giving food to hitchhikers I meet, etc. are some of the ways I use my time. I only work to support my bicycling habit 👍
 
The way St. Therese the Little Flower advised us all to live: by offering every little sacrifice for our love of Jesus. And loving Him with a child-like love and trust. My long user name would be, “Little Flower’s Way to Love.” 🙂

I look at all your nicks and most have me scratching my head.

Anyone care to share what their nicks mean and why you chose it?

I’ll share mine in another post.

Well I was named after Joan of Arc (Jeanne D’Arc).
My first name is Jeannette, but I found out rather early in my life that my name is misspelled pretty frequently.
So I started using a shorter version that eliminated all the issues.
Online I only use the correct spelling for my blog.
1983 was the Holy Year of the Redemption (#27 on the list of known Jubilee Years) and the year I was born.
