Babelfish from Douglas Adams triollogy of the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.

Unlike the babelfish however I do not speak other languages very well if at all. Picked it cause I noticed a few others had hitchhikers quotes as their sigs and thought fish worked well on a fish site ....and cause I couldnt figure anything else out that would be cool. I could have gone with my real name too ...but didnt ....obviously .

Pookie was a collge roommates cat, and I am just not quite a cat person.

Don't worry though, pookie is still alive and a danger to anything that looks like, smells like, sounds like cheese(his favorite).

12 was my number for high school and college soccer.

fishymama because when I first had my tank I would go up my newly acquired fishes and after my hellos, hows your day been, I would ask 'who's ya mama?'. This answer being me! So when I stumbled upon FP it was an easy choice! :%)

Are ya'll ready for this?

Tiga- Because when I was little, the family would ask me my name, and I would shout, "Monica TIGA! YAY!!!" and then EVERYONE had to clap for me.

Mo- Because those are My initials.

Butterfly- Because Justin always called me his Beautiful Butterfly

MoJo- My friends who watch too many cartoons coined this one for me

Red- Because I'm often wearing red, or my hair is red

Dragon- Because nearly everything I own is covered in Dragons

Moni- Because the Mexican Cooks couldn't say Mo

Sweety Mo- Because some friends found it extremely ironic

MoMo- Coworkers thought they were being cute

Mariposa- Spanish speaking co workers called me this because of a fake tattoo I sported at work once or twice

And I think that's all the big ones. There are a few more, but these will do ^_^

My Mum names me Guddi when I was born. Its means a doll in Hindi which is my mother tongue. She called me that because she thought I was going to grow up to be mischevious like a famouse character called Guddi in a movie.

Luckily for me, I was more tomboyish so they modified my name to Guddu, which is more like a Boy Doll, so like Ken in Barbie and Ken

Eversince, I have been called various versions:

Gudda
Gudda Gundi (Gundi means rascal)
Gudds
Gudds Carrier (which is a modified version of Goods Carrier or large trucks, tho I have never been large )

And a few others...

To me it's pretty straightforward, but some people look at it and see "now herman", and others see "now her man", so it can't hurt to clarify

NowherMan6 = short form for "Nowhere Man" from the album Rubber Soul which came out in 1965. Many many years ago I tried entering NowhereMan65 as an AOL name and it was taken, so I used the abbreviated short form, and what can I say, it stuck
