mine came about because it stands for Marge in charge from Pa. Seems like over the years when I was involved in any organization I tended to end up being in charge of certain things. So my son stuck that name on me. So I shortened it on my web pages to MIC-Pa.

my name is judith but am called judy. when i meet people who remember movies form the 1940's, they often smile and quote what they think is a cary grant line from the movie, "only angels have wings," with rita hayworth playing a character who went by both judith and judy. truth is -- cary grant never said, "judy judy judy", in that film or any other. he only said the name once when used in the film, but the way he said the name was comical, "juday." impersonators are the ones that started judy judy judy. so --- i chose judyjudyjudy as my id to bring a smile and a memory of cary grant (one of my favorite actors) to the other board members.

I was born a week before Christmas so instead of calling me "Christmas Carol", as they planned, they went with the Noel part of Christmas and added an "ly". At least with Christmas Carol, I could have been called Chris. I've always hated my name which is why my four daughters have very common names.

Oh so many years ago when I was in high school, there were several of us girls named Linda that were pretty good friends. It got so complicated, that we started referring to each other as Linda B or Linda T or Linda H - using the first letter of the last name. At the time I was a Linda T and my best friend was Linda B. After getting married I became a Linda B and she became a Linda C!!!!!
