Weekend Music (FNM): Names

last year

I got a big chuckle recently when someone said they thought I was Australian because they read my screen name as "letters at oz" instead of "letters a to z". So.....this week's theme will be names -- post songs either having the word "name" in the title or a person's actual name in the title.

Bonus points if you tell us where your screen name comes from, if not obvious. In my case, there was a Garden Web glitch years ago, similar to the recent one, and following it, I was no longer able to use my then screen name (which was par3) and had to pick a new one. More glitches made that very difficult as I kept getting the same error message - please use only letters a to z - even though I WAS! In a moment of frustration, I quickly typed in "lettersatoz" and it stuck. So now, like it or not, I will forever be ('til the next glitch) letters....

"Larry" was my nickname as a child, when this song came out.

My name is Roxanne and my last name starts with Sol. Roxsol sounded way better than Rsol. 🤭

Ha - count me as one who also read your username as 'letters at oz'😄

Mine is very boring, no other reason than Carol B was what I was called in first grade to differentiate me and my friend Carol H. It's been my username here since I first signed on back in the 90s.

Carol/ Chuck Berry

(and thanks again letters - I think you're better at this than I am)

@ roxsol - I always think of your name as short for 'rock solid' 🙂

My husband has this song on his wake up alarm on his phone. We don’t wake up to an alarm very often any more but when we do, this is the song. He lets it play right through and sings every word. It’s a pretty cute little song.

Tommy Roe- Sheila

My screen name comes from when I made a fake yahoo account maybe 20 years ago- SAL are my initials. I was making the account to check emails on vacation. My boss suggested I use SALONVA cation. I know so many people assume it has to do with a salon and or that I am in Virginia. Neither is true. :)
