I like chocolate, so I went with chocolate at first. But then I thought putting Mc and the beginning would make it sound cuter and less bland, so it became McChocolatey, and then I didn't like the extra "o" which messes up the pronunciation so I went with McChoclatey. I sorta tried to spell it how it sounds.

My male Sims are...Simulicious!

I hate my screen name, I think it is stupid. I think it was my first screen name anywhere, so I was a noob. lol. I used it here because it was my screen name on the TS2 site and I thought I should keep it. I am seriously thinking of changing it, but then I think of all my uploads with simgrl on them. I don't know what to do....

I used to be Toophish which I picked out of frustration because I dislike having a screen name with numbers tacked on and well, I looked around the room and I had two fish in a tank. Later I changed it because I thought it sounded a little 'fishy' and became Lady Angua which is from a character in the Discworld novels, I use that name everywhere even facebook.

It was during the time between discovering how awesome the bassoon was and starting to play it. Don't get me wrong, though. I love playing it and it was the instrument for me and everything, I just think that having this as a username is a little odd.

But that was six years ago.

My screen name comes from a line from a poem I wrote in high school. I love the phrase and I even have it tattooed on my body.

I just chose a fact about myself. Yes, my name is Ryanhas2dogs because I, in fact, have two miniature poodles.

Robodl95 = Rob (shorted form of first name) + o (because my original screename for things like Nick.com was RobotRobby) + dl (middle, last initials) and 95 (year of birth) so the way you'd pronounce my screename is Robo-d-l-95

I don't even remember why I gave myself this username. I'd like to think that it comes from the uncertainty of rough drafts or at least spontaneous creations, like when you simply start drawing before you even know what it is you want to draw. Will it just be a lame doodle or an accidental masterpiece? It is certainly possible that was somewhere in my head at the time. However there is also a good chance that I simply could not think of something to put into the username box at the time of my registration. It is not too difficult to imagine me sitting there, thinking "Hmmm. A username...Maybe something along the lines of...? Grrr. I just dunno. Meh." .....which somehow became "maybesomethingdunno".

I don't mind if you call me "MSD" or something for short.
Perhaps someday I'll have leisure time back...

I'm of Irish descent (though I was born in America); my friends nicknamed me Grace one summer when I was a teenager because I am exceptionally clumsy. I've always been clumsy, that summer just happened to be one of my clumsiest to date.

This used to be the only name I used anywhere online, though I have branched out in the last couple of years lol

It's more or less how you pronounce my family name (though it's not close to how you actually spell it). My family name is fairly unusual and I happen to like it.

Comes from the protagonist of "Jeepers Creepers", one of my favourite films. It was a monster who ate people's organs in order to survive. Pretty puerile, but I still like it.

Harries is my last name, first sim I ever made was a self sim 'Missy Harries' (my first names not missy I just thought missy sounded cute plus I like being called missy but I suspect missy harries may sound a bit pretentious!)
It's my user name every where, when I was younger though I would use WhiplashPerrywinke.......... Yeah that ones out of commision.

Can't decide if I'm indecisive

Yes, 'haricots' means beans in French, nuts is 'noix'. Sorry haricots, you'll have to either be a bean or change your name to noix!

My Internet handle is a nickname I've had since childhood. When I was little, I was friends with three siblings whose uncle worked as a clown at kids' shows at local movie theaters on Saturday mornings. One Saturday we attended one of the shows, at which the clown uncle was onstage calling out names from a list he had - if there was a child by one of the names in the audience, they would win a prize. The names he was calling out were all goofy and weird ones that there was very little chance of anyone being named. He called out 'Esmeralda', and suddenly my three friends started pushing me onto the stage, shouting out gleefully over and over, 'HER name's Esmeralda!!!' Their uncle looked horrified and quite annoyed with them, but in order to save face in front of the audience, he was obligated to give me a prize. The name stuck with me ever since (and my three pals all got a good hiding when they got home, ha ha!).

As for the 'F' initial, that happened when I registered on MTS and found that Esmeralda was already taken, at which I felt so frustrated that I uttered a rude word starting with F. So I decided to just add the letter F to my name in order to have a username that wasn't taken. Yes, it's rude and sordid and I'm not proud, but, well, it's pretty funny!
