When I met my RW husband he was and is a professional clown by the name of Squirlly. I decided to become a clown as well and since my name is Catherine and I like cats I decided to be Kitti the Clown, When we joined DS I tried to use the name Kitti however, it was already in use so I had to come up with something else. Since I had also was considering specialized license plates Kitti was taken there as well but K1TT1 was not so I changed the i's to 1's and became K1tt1.

Very Clever K1TT1.. U have some imagination... Now we wanna know how Squirlly got his clown name LOL <3

Mine is my RW Clown name, yes this clown is a real clown! Now How did the clown get HIS name?

As a youngin' serving in the United States Navy was a Data Processing Technician assigned to the "Bat Cave" one of the few rooms in the building with no windows. Well I am not the kind of person who can sit still very long so every so often I would get to a good stopping/saving point in my code and the saving process would take a few minuets so instead of just sitting there watching the computer save I would get up and take a few laps around the office. One day our division Chief was in chatting with my lead petty officer during one of these lap sessions and he said I looked like a caged squirrel, and it STUCK like glue. From that point forward I don't think a single person ever called me by my real name I was Seaman Squirrel.

Once I was discharged from the Navy I met a man who taught me the ins and outs of being a clown... well what I hadn't already learned serving in the Navy... Anyway very early in my training he asked me what name I wanted to use. The only thing that came to my mind was Seaman Squrrel but that didn't quite work so I thought of Squirrelly (See I can spell it RIGHT) but that's an adjective not a name so wanting to be a little more unique I changed the spelling to Squirlly, that was 1993 and most of the world has known me by Squirlly ever since.

-Tim (My actual name LOL)

I Love it Squirlly ... My Mav was in the Navy too.. I don't know if he had a nickname there tho ... I'm so glad ur our Squirlly now and so much fun to be around

Buddy and I were just talking about this too!

My real name is Heidi. In the late 90's at work I would listen to television with headphones. So I'd listed to the soaps or the talk shows. There was a little girl on one of them and her name was Heidia. MY close friend started calling me Heidia then others started (some still call me that 20 years later!)

When WRIF invaded Dreamscape, I shortened it to Dia and have been Dia inworlds ever since.

Cute story Dia.. So U went from Heidi to Heidia to Dia.. Maybe I'll call ya D? hehehe <3

In the early 90's, as a member of Q-Link ("the original AOL for the Commodore-64" and thus Club Caribe) , I ran through a host of screennames. One of them was "OBabyOBaby," eventually shortened to "OBOB." A fitting word which begins with "Ob" is, well, "oblique." Among other definitions "In figurative use, oblique means indirect or purposely misleading." I can be very indirect in conversation at times. In the course of building the brand, I have dropped the "o."

When I was growing up, during part of my junior year of High School, I kept getting called JUNIOR, after my dad's name. (We have the same middle initial, but different middle names)...I didn't like being called junior, because at that time my dad was a barely recovering alcoholic. He's been clean and sober now for about 29 years!

My stepmother started calling me JJ as a change to being called junior, and the nickname stuck.

Sifu is the Chinese term for "older uncle" or "teacher". I've been teaching Martial Arts in some capacity since 1990, and received my Black Belt in 1992...Thus SifuJJ was born...have had the same email address since 1997.
