Why You Chose Your Username and Avitar

Post Reply New Topic

Name + avatar: Dana has been my nickname forever, because of Scully. I somewhat look like her, esp. eyes hair and skin, but the nickname stayed because of my personality, and character ... so there I'll use the 5th amendment. She helped me know better what I felt via observation and analysis. So I guess thanks Chris, thanks Gillian. I think I nailed the verbalization process here.

Mattoid means: 1)A person who displays erratic behaviour; a person of congenitally abnormal mind bordering on insanity or degeneracy.

2) Compound of genius and fool.

I can relate to both, having Schizoaffective Disorder and an average intelligence that sometimes manifests as good insights, sometimes as foolishness.

My avatar was the first picture I could find that was compatible with the measurements for avatars. I also like Mario a lot.

My username is Ishi because my younger sisters couldn't pronounce my name when they were little, and Ishi was the best they could do. My actual name is Alisha. The 2 comes from the fact that there was already an account here under the Username Ishi.
My avatar used to be my picture but I decided I wanted to be a little less personal, so now it is an awareness ribbon for SOD/ONH which I have.

I was obsessed with London when I joined.

I identify with Schultz because I'm large and slower than many WP members. He also reminds me of Sid from Flushed Away, except he's fully clothed. :O)

Feyfolken + Tolkien = Feyokien

The Feyfolken was a daedric enchanted quill in the Elder Scrolls Series. It made its user write foreboding messages about suicide, which compromised the users ability to be scribe. Devoid of his only purpose in life, the user than commited suicide and their soul was claimed by the Daedric prince Clavicus the Vile. I didn't know this at the time, it was just the cool name of a book I didn't take the time to read in Skyrim XD

Obvious is obvious on Tolkien

I chose my username because Riley is my real name, 2000 is my birth year and "daboss" was something that I thought about to go with my username. And I chose my avatar because I am a huge Batman fan, in which I have batman books, games and more. Gotta love being cool

They go together.

My son used to be obsessed with Futurama and I had fun watching it with him

Username: a roleplay character of mine based heavily off my own personality. Eventually, became my online nickname and the character become a persona.

Avatar: Same character as mentioned above. I commissioned an artist in deviantart to draw the lineart and then coloured it myself.

My name is Chris and I live in on the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains. I wanted to distinguish myself from any others here named Chris and decided to do it geographically. My avatar is actually me in a "Rocky" pose when I did a promo shot last summer for a movie that was coming out. As my username starts out with Rocky, I decided to use it here.
FWIW, I've also posted here under other derivatives like Rockymtnchris and Rockymtchris.

Sparky comes from the name of one of my dogs, and the name I typically use when something asks for one. And Cosmos comes from my love for astronomy.

My avatar is Colin from Advance Wars 2, who has massive stacks of money and is somewhat inexperienced as a CO.

Username: For some reason I always thought that Mike was a cool name, and so I decided to use it when I started creating internet profiles and it stuck. The 7918 is just a random string of numbers, formerly 333 and 359 and I changed it whenever I found an instance of it being taken. Fortionately it seems that I am the only mikeman7918 on the internet so it's unlikely to ever change again.

Avatar: It's a logo that I made which represents my interest in space and engineering. It's actually the second iteration of the logo, the first one just having a blank blueprint in the background in stead of Earth.

Signature: I love puns, and I laughed so hard when I figured out that the 3 body probelem applies to conversations too.

Gooseman happens to be the *coolest* (at least in my opinion) Cartoon Character, ever... that is if you can call the Galaxy Rangers a cartoon?

Same goes with The Joker... coolest.Character.ever.

'Mama' is how I bill myself before my cat. 'Frankie' is in tribute to the late actress Carol Burns in honour of her best loved character 'Frankie Doyle' from 'Prisoner Cell Block H'. Frankie was a tough lesbian biker who, in her short tenure in the series, became a cult figure and legend. The 5259 is the birth year of my celebrity crush and my own birth year.

I did upload an avatar but it was deemed too big to put up. It is on my profile and is a record sleeve of singer Tomas Ledin at the age of 28.

User name. I've been into laughter for decades.
First as a mask
Then as a study
Then as a career
Then as a part time thing

I'm a fan of mixing and connecting things
Been a fan of The Batman since comics were 12 cents
Roomed with artist way back in college and still love the creative arts in 2 dimension and on stage.

I chose my Username by mistake and chance. I love movies and I was reading reviews on Aintitcool when they mentioned something about the classic movie "The Bride of Frankenstein." That same day I decided to start posting on ForteanTimes, so I made the mistake/choice of one of the characters from that movie.

Avatar is a picture of W.C. Fields i copied off Ebay the day I started posting here.

My signature is a quote from "Slaughterhouse Five" by Kurt Vonnegut.

My username is my first name/nickname (Ana), followed by hitori, which is Japanese for "one person, single, alone, on one's own, by one's self" etc.

The avatar is cute and comes from my favorite manga. I like cuteness. ♥ Also that character is also named Ana.
