Our trail names and stamps have nothing to do with each other. My trail name is pjynx because that's what I've used for years as my login for various messageboards (my first initial is P and our last name is jenks, which sometimes sounds like jynx). My stamp is a wine bottle and wine glass, because, well....i like wine ;o)
My daughter's trail name is Lulu because that's what we used to call her when she was little. Her stamp is a the happy/sad pair of drama masks with a crown above them because she's a drama queen ;o)
When we first started out, we just used a couple of store-bought stamps that I had in my scrapbooking supplies, only because we weren't sure yet what we wanted our stamps to be and because I wasn't daring enough yet to carve one myself.
