I have chickens and turkeys and thats how most people know me at work etc. So just liked the name and what it stood for.

I am so sure you picked this name for it's sexual connotations!

About five years ago I decided I wanted to change my name at the b-f site. To be honest with you, I don't even remember why...it wasn't for any significant reason.

When I was trying to come up with a name to describe myself, I kept thinking about a good femme friend's descriptor for me, a "dapper butch". I guess she saw it as the best description for my style of dress when going out in the evening with our group of friends.

Since I am not the most imaginative person, I just went with the above for a username.

imperfect_cupcake · 01-13-2010, 10:57 PM

Honeybarbara is a character from the book "bliss"

I was very impressed with the character when i saw the movie (I must have been around 11/12) and wanted to grow up to be her. I then read the book when I was a bit older and fell more in love with who she was.

When I was about 25/26 a few of my friends started calling me honeybarb for a joke, some of them had recently read the book.

I took that as my online name.

It's a nickname that occationally gets used offline as well.

suebee · 01-13-2010, 11:31 PM

Oh how boring am I? I've been using the same screen name for years! Sue is me..... the part is a play on my surname. I'm just Sue. How do you do? Let's just dance!

BornBronson · 02-21-2010, 03:02 PM

Named after a favorite pair of boots,that were named after one of my favorite actors.

Martina · 02-21-2010, 04:27 PM

i named myself after one of my first celebrity crushes -- Martina Navratilova.

Strappie · 02-21-2010, 05:20 PM

Mine came from back in the day of Planet Out. A chat friend kept calling me a "Strappin fine butch" hell I'm not even sure I knew what a butch was at that time. Then as a joke I entered the room as "Strappie" and I kept it. When I started to go to the "other" site 12 yrs ago I used Strappie and then when they made the changes to the upgraded site I couldn't get back in. I wrote to Rhon and he said he would take care of it for me, However he miss spelled my name and put "Strappin"

YEAHHHHHH I have my name back!!!!

bigbutchmistie · 02-21-2010, 05:22 PM

When I first signed up for butch-femme I was just realizing that I was butch. A friend and her daughter looked at me and said big because Im big like a teddy bear and butch cause I am butch and mistie cause its my name

AtLast · 02-21-2010, 05:52 PM

Started out as AtLast in the dist site. Yes, there was a connection to a femme and the song (she is deceased and the first femme I was involved with), but mainly it had to do with being the last born in my family (with a large gap between myself and my siblings) and my coming to the B-F dynamic (as a butch) later in life (although, not to lesbianism).

I added Home for this site because I do feel like I have come home in my identity as a butch and wanted to have my screen name here reflect this.

owen4u1904 · 02-21-2010, 07:19 PM

R is for my first name is Renee....well, tech lol, Renee is my middle name.

And Bentley is my last name. Then 1 9 04 is when my daughter was born-Jan 1 2004.

Hack · 02-21-2010, 07:40 PM

Hack. At the time I became a member on the other site, I was working in politics full-time and considered myself a "political hack." Currently, I do political writing on the side, and refer to myself as a "hack" writer...though, I don't write cheap these days.

My name has never been associated with computer hacking. I barely know how a computer works. lol

A long time ago, a friend from California would compliment me: "You are always so sweet and content...I adore you for that." I was always so flattered to hear such an original, unique, sincere compliment. Made me blush every time.

So I changed my old screen name on the other site to Sweet&Content. When I signed up on BFP, I didn't know if it was acceptable to change screen names? (my Gramma always called me "BlueBird"... wouldn't mind using that.)

Lesson Learned: Do NOT ever use an ampersand in my screen name.

Recently, Medusa and Linus had to help me submit a subscription... I just couldn't get it to work!! Medusa and Linus to the rescue!! They earned their Sugar Cookies!! Apparently, the ampersand messes things up "behind the scenes" and sends various techy things all wonky! Oh! They had fun figuring it out...and were sooooo patient with me. But I bet I gave them big headaches! (Linus, I never did get that PM you spoke about... WONKY, I say...) Well, BLESS Linus and all his help... he logged off before I could get back to him... Medusa and I agreed to just shorten it down to "Sweet" and get it over with... no need to change it back again, 'cause the darn & just isn't worth it!!

That

my story and I'm stickin' to it..
