Being renamed Helsinki by @konacoconutz made me think about why we use our chosen user names on here.
Is it something you use elsewhere? is it one that relates to your listing? to you personally ?
Anyone care to share?

Maggie is my middle name and I’m Italian American on my mom’s side from Formia Italy, so the roni for the pasta reference! It only relates to our listing as Maggie is one of our cats 
I love you as Helsinki!

Barns is short for Pissbarns! I was an avid fan of Weebl and Bob, an internet cartoon, and once, when cross, Weebl said pissbarns.
Stuck in my head, and makes me easy to find on Facebook.

I had recently given up traditional paid employment and have been finding freelance work from home. Haven’t replaced my old salary but having a lot more fun!
Besides AirBnb, I give historical lectures, assist in estate sales, and am on call with a tour company to do wine and history tours. On the volunteer side, I am on a committee that produces a yearly music festival, do outreach events for a local museum, and participate in various non-profit fundraising activities. Life is good at home!

I’ve come to the conclusion that I must be so unimaginative, if not downright boring. My given name, pure and simple.

Coconuts are a humorous icon and are alllll over my property. I have a tree that can’t stop dropping coconuts so I use them as decor around the garden borders.

Oh, hi I was a guest at your lovely place and I forgot my coconuts, can you please ship them to me asap? There were about 50.

You can mail a coconut postcard! It’s very funny!
Recently in a rare trip away, I received this rather worrisome text from my guests:
How can we open these coconuts?
Well the answer is with a machete, but I was not going to direct my guests to my machete and it was a good thing because, my neighbors reported these little punks started having loud abusive arguments at my place.
I just responded that they were too old to be edible and also that also they were part of my decor. (thought but didn’t say, isn’t that obvious?)

Now don’t all laugh, I actually fell of a wall and that’s why I was stuck inside on the computer and found this forum. All better now and would change it if I could.

Mine is a mispronunciation of my actual name by na old friend which stuck. My name is always mispronounced but I liked his version. So I am not from Shanghai

My moniker is pretty unimaginative and literal. But she is SUCH a beautiful dog

This is so interesting!
Mine has no relevance to anything at all. I always struggle with usernames and usually go for my real name with a few numbers on the end. Boring. This time I was looking out my window at my garden and that word just stuck, and I knew it was rubbish but then I couldn’t think of nothing else… so there we are. My boring story!! My first listing doesn’t even have a view of the garden, just the neighbours washing line
