Aw, come on, guys! Be creative! Corny, even, if that’s your thing. **Boscibo** : How about **Bosciboytoy**? **bdgr** : Maybe **b** a **dg** i **r** l? **Montfort** : Possibly **Montfemale**? I’m sure you all are more creative than I! Now go forth and use your brain powers to come up with something original! 🙂 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by FireUnderpantsBoobs \* > **Montfort** : Possibly **Montfemale**? Umm, she had her own perfectly fine identity on the board before we got together. **Anniz** has and will suffice as her appellation. I do have a creative name for her, but it’s for her ears only. 😉 ---

I call mine LoverGirl. Of course, in real life I’m more likely to call her “crazy girl”. 🙂 - Rob ---

The future Mrs. Six (6). When we are married and have a child, it will be little six [sub]6[/sub]. Thus, the three of us will be the 666 family. Future Mrs. Six is a devout Catholic, and does not think the above is the least bit funny. So I have decided to refer to her as Mrs. Peel, which will coincide with the theme of my current screen name. Or she could be Number 2, which would also go with the theme. Hmmmmmm. ---

I ain’t got a SIGO. But if I did, and if she wasn’t a Doper, I’d call her **Triplette**. If she was a Doper, I’d either call her who she was, or what she asked me to caller her (but by default, **Triplette** ). Tripler But I’m sure she’d ask . . . ---

My kids are Jr. Ranger I (my daughter) and Jr. Ranger II (my son). I refer to the Boy Toy as the S[sub]ignificantly[/sub] Y[sub]ounger[/sub] L[sub]over[/sub], my SO, or by his name, Richard. We’re not married so Mr. Ranger is not an option, nor will it ever be. When he’s gotten on my last nerve, he’s “That man that shares my house”. ---

My hubby is registered but he doesn’t post much even though he reads here everyday. So I call him the LIONsob here on the board and the Lyinsob at home. 😃 (Now honey you know I don’t really call you that IRL, at least not when you can hear me. Oops was that my out loud voice ?) ---

If I had a SO, then he would be **dlboy** , most likely. Not very imaginative, huh? Well, if he were a Doper too, then we wouldn’t have to worry about that. I would just call him whatever his name was. ---

“Roommate” became (former)Roommate after a very intense break and separation. [We’re not married but we do share laundry facilities.] Things are a bit more civil and more receptive now. We’ll see what happens. ---

Well, I call mine **lurker** , but then again, he was here first, so maybe I’m the one that should have the cutsey Doper-nick related name… then again, we weren’t officially dating at the time I joined the boards either, so that would screw my own sense of identity and feelings of self-worth… Heck, I guess I’ll just keep calling him **lurker** for board purposes, and **smartass** the rest of the time. 😛 ---
