Question what does your username and avatar mean ?

I see some ppl that have their real name as their username, but I see more that use some strange word or letters/numbers for their username


my avatar is my pic, my username my name


What does your username and avatar mean ?

Re: what does your username and avatar mean ?

I go by 1 of 3 names around the boards. Either Danny Boy, Deejay Dan, or Big Dan. If you didn't guess my name is Dan. :P

I've never been good making up names, most of my nicknames would probably get me preemptively banned from most forums. So I stick with my name.

My avatar is just my (scary) mug

Re: what does your username and avatar mean ?

I use my real name, have no need to hide my name.

My avatar is a picture I took some months back from a little statue we have. I like it, nothing more. I like photography and spend more and more time at it. Got me a nice camera a few weeks back, am going true the learning curve again. Guess the avatar will change one of these for another favorite pic ;-)

ah, so the truth comes out

I've checked out one of your photo pages, yours and your wife's maybe ???

I'd like to get a nice new camera but we have other things to buy first.
We have a nice 6 mega pixel digital camera now, but I'd like a nice analog one. Or one of the digital ones that looks like the old style with the zoom and stuff.

Re: what does your username and avatar mean ?

Do I really need to explain my user name?

My avatar is the real me.......

My user name is either Redneck, or ARealRedneck on most forums....:biggrin:


I kinda look at the forums as like using a CB Radio....You use a " handle " while using the CB Radio usually not your real name....

But on my forum most user's call me by my name anyway..........:rolleyes:

Using my real name, my avatar changes a lot so, there is no special meaning.

Re: what does your username and avatar mean ?

I'm sure you can work out what "Paul M" means ...

As for the avatar - I'm a big Garfield fan, and settled on this one as my standard.

Re: what does your username and avatar mean ?

Username:
Rocket 442

Rocket - Slogan used by Oldsmobile Ad's that the Oldsmobile V8 Engines were "Rockets", aka, Rocket 350, Rocket 455, etc...

442
- Well its the Model of the Car I own, while many people thing a Olds 442 is the engine size, they are completely wrong and I argue with them till I'm blue in the face over it.
442 first meant:
4 Barrel
4 on the Floor (4 speed)
Dual (2) Exhaust.

So when I get Chevy 454 guys saying they have a "bigger" engine, i just chuckle and let them think they do now.

Avatar is pretty self explanatory, you can't piss on my car, because you can't catch it.

Re: what does your username and avatar mean ?

My screen name is my last name.

I used it on my forums first and a couple others.

I stuck with it to avoid confusion.

That's awesome :bowdown:

I tried playing the baritone when I was in grade school, that's about as far as my musical abilities go..lol

I have some friends that are great tho, a few different groups have bands. :smiley_:
one is The Dewayn Brothers

They don't have much time to work on their site, I think I read they did 250 shows in 2006

Wow 250 shows in a year, that is an accomplishment!

I've been comissioned to write for orchestras and at the moment I'm scoring a film which is eating alot of my time. I try to split my time 50/50 with music and web development.

Re: what does your username and avatar mean ?

My name means nothing really. I think Fox is a cool name but 1. that is take on most forums. 2. Foxx with two x's looks more badass.

My avatar is a sketch of a Wold off Google, lol.
