Why did you choose the Boardie name you are using on this forum??
Mi Lady had an idea to have a little fun and discover why Boardies are using the moniker that they chose. So, for me, I have been a weather geek since I was a toddler in St. Louis, building home made barometers and anemometers, having my dad go on the roof to mount my wind vane, measuring precipitation and keeping my own weather log books, etc. I checked out a meteorological degree while at the University of Bridgeport, CT. Hence, I chose Weathermon for my Boardie name. My spouse chose Mi Lady because everyone was calling her "Mi Lady" when we first began our Negril odyssey and she liked the sound of it, so Mi Lady she became.
How about you? Why did you choose the name that you are using on this forum?

Back in 2004, I signed on as Brandnewbie...
Rob grouched at me a couple years later that it was too long to type in web chats...
So, I became Bnewb aka Lisa.
Ya...I know...not very creative here either.

Back in the mid 90's when Rob started Beingees.com, my handle was Happy Travellers (I was married at the time). After the divorce it was Happy Traveler. After my first single trip to Negril it became Very Happy Traveler, after my second single trip to Negril it became Very Very Happy Traveler! It was shortened on the Webcasts to VVHT. Has it really been 25 Years since this was started???
Rob, thanks for many many wonderful memories and adventures....
Enjoy,
VVHT

I wanted to use Batman but learned that name was already taken by a not so nice Jamaican gangster. The beach name given to me by my wife and friends is to long to use , ( yourwrongdan ) . That is pronounced in one syllable .

My name is Monty, and when we first traveled to Jamaica in 1993 for our honeymoon our first Jamaican friend started calling my wife, Melissa, Melo. It is pronounced like Mellow, but only has one "L" in it like Melissa. The name totally fits because she is totally Mellow when we are there.
M&M

Many years ago I met a young Rasta guy on the beach early one morning and we proceeded to chat for a while. As we shared his spliff he explained to me how he had inherited his grandfathers' property up on the cliffs and with his chickens, goats, fruit trees, garden plot and ample fishing front he was now a "yardie" and along with his bicycle he had "every ting I need, mon". Since that day my dream has been to become an "old yardie". And now I have the "old" part down but still no yard.

I picked my Boardie name from a very good friend. When we started to travel to Negril in the late 70's we stayed up in Red Ground and the little ones would call him Bigga.
