I've never heard the name, outside of the Bible. I did know where it came from though.

Jeysie

Just because I'm too lazy to retype it, I'll copy and paste from an old post. ;)

It all started way back when I first got Net access in November of 1996. I opened an account with AOL (yes, you can all either laugh or radiate sympathy in my general direction, depending on your disposition), and needed a username. I knew I wanted something more unique than just my name or initials, and didn't have lots of random numbers after it, but all of my childhood nicknames were... well... decidedly less-than-flattering. (The only two that weren't horrible were "The Brain", which I feared would set up an incorrect first impression, and "The Walking Computer", which would have been amusing, but was too long.)

Finally I somehow hit upon "Jelsie". J from my middle name Julia, and "Elsie" from my first name, as well as a friend whose middle name was Elizabeth and sometimes liked to go by that nickname. Well, "Jelsie" was taken. And so was "Jelcie" and "Jaycie" and so on, until I finally hit upon "Jeysie". It wasn't taken, it sounded kinda neat, and it meant absolutely nothing. Perfect!  And since I'm a creature of habit (not to mention desiring to keep a consistent online "persona") I've just used the nick for every online thing I've done that needed a username... and it's never been taken so far.

I've been using the same "post signing off" method for all this time now as well, for similarly boring yet quirky reasons.

Peace & Luv, Liz

Awww . . . geez. There's already been a username thread? Well, I feel stupid ;].

And I would never of guessed that you got Jeysie from Elizabeth (even I've never gotten that far ;P). The only nickname I have using my middle name is Lizzy-Annie, which sounds like a Southern christening gone very, very wrong ;B

I didn't recognize where it came from... darn name transcripts :P

I do have other usernames for other places, but giving them here would be kinda missing the whole point of having them ;)

Well, when I signed up in Yahoo, I needed a username...came up with Koko, named after the siamese cat from "The Cat Who..." books by Lilian Jackson Braun.  Eventually, we ended up getting a siamese whom we named Koko...and with my name being abbreviated to Cat...it all fits!  Whoo hoo!

Don't forget Rhett!  Can't forget that one Colin!

And Alex, you're not kidding when you say that you've had the name Drunken Chinchilla forever!  Before I disappeared about April 2003, I seem to remember a guy on the forums named Drunken Chinchilla...and when I reappeared in February(ish), you were a_c_saunders...(sad how I remember this, isn't it?)

Oh yeah, Cat calls me Rhett, and I call her Scarlett. We started our own little version of Gone With the Wind when we found out that we are both from the southern parts of America.
She's back. She's proud. She will overcome!

My first game was King's Quest 6 in 1995, i played it on my Cousin's Computer.

I loved that game so much that i had to have a Computer.

I played many Sierra games after that and other non Sierra games, but KQ was my all time favourite top on the list.

In 1999 when i got Internet, my first Username was Daventry.

So till today no matter what game i play, KQ is my all time favourite. Especially KQ6

So my Username is: Daventry.

You must have a lot of new posts to read, if it takes  you, being a resourcefinder and such, that long. ;)

If your time is limited, you need to prioritize. Like what I did today, I had to check manual payments, an automatic (global) payment (but I still have to check every payment individually), and check and approve entries into the bookkeeping program. The manual stuff had the most priority, so I did that first, and then I did the last option and left the global payment just lying there. 8)
