Off Topic: What’s in your screen name and avatar???

[harley2e]

Don’t you often wonder how members select their screen names?

What’s in your screen name? We would all like to know what it means to you.

Avatars are really cool, and a picture is worth a thousand words. We see children, pets, movie stars, mods, Carto's cartoon characters, vehicles, and planes. Some avatars are provocative, many are imaginative, a few are seductive, and a bunch of avatars are cleverly animated.

My avatar shows my dad and his first harley in 1949. At 80 yo he still rides today,
What about your avatar??? Many of us are wondering about it.

Thanks to each of you who decide to share your info!!

 

[FAAmecanic]

Screen name: FAAmecanic - I am a FAA certified airframe and powerplant mechanic. I left the "h" out on purpose as a lot of sites already had a faamechanic.

Avatar speaks for itself...GO BIG BLUE WREAKING CREW!

[VaporDragon]

I like mechanical mods. Hence the name. But, funny thing happened yesterday. My daughter was sitting at the table doing her homework and I'm sitting on the couch watching TV, dripping, and I like to exhale through my nostrils sometimes when dripping to get some more flavor. She looks at me and says "you look like a vape dragon". Instantly my first thought was ecf and why the hell I didn't think of that...

 

[Daryl Glen]

My screen name is my nickname....long story, but my closest friends either call me Daryl or Glen, so I just combined the two. I wouldn't want to bore everyone with the length of time it would take to explain that!

But my avatar is a picture of me and my wife on our wedding day at the beach in FL. One of the best days, and it always makes me happy to see it.

 

[diggyb]

Screen name is part of my stage name.

Avatar is of me in a shoot for said stage name.

I added the Bs' logo, as I do for every avatar I use, every hockey season. When we get closer to Christmas, I'll put a Santa hat on it

As it should - that's a great photo.

 

[Roselie]

I'm a bit of a gamer geek and Roselie has always been my game name. It's absolutely nothing like my real name hehe.

My avatar is of my "babies" I adopted from the humane society about a year ago. My kids are in their mid-late teens now and I realized I missed having something little and cute that didn't talk back to me .

Btw Harley that is an awesome avatar.

 

[TXSundevil]

TXSundevil - Grew up in the valley in AZ (Tempe, Mesa, Chandler) Arizona State University - Sun Devils, Transplanted to Texas. Was born in Wisconsin, but couldn't come up with a clever name that included badgers.

My avatar changes alot with mood, my mom loved to read garfield to me when i was a weee lil one, and I stuck with him, even through the same re done jokes a billion times. I think I picked that particular avatar on a bad monday morning, and he was well recieved, so I kept him around.

 

[Traver]

As for my screen name, I just liked the way it sounds.

My avatar is me engaging in my favorite sport and dropping Ohiopyle Falls in Pennsylvania.

Another view of the falls.

[seahawkin]

Ummmm.... Screen name is my first initial with a bit of my last name. Older sister was JayHawk and I was Seahawk, so C then some sort of tweak on the last name, Hawkins. I usually use Tank Girl in most my icons, was my favorite comic in my teens and I have that tattoo on my left arm.

 

[TexasTanker19kilo20]

OP- great thread topic.

So, I've had this screen name for two other forums(cars) , I'm a Native Texan(ATX) and for 90% of my Army life I was a M1A1 Crewman(Tanker) which is MOS 19kilo the 20 is my rank, which is E5/SGT.

My avatar is a picture of My Bish, a 1998 Topaz Gold Metallic Pontiac Grand Prix GTP. My build thread is over on (GPF) Pontiac Grand Prix Forums : Grandprix

 

[edricketts]

Ed Ricketts was the best friend of John Steinbeck, and showed up in a couple of his books. I picked the screen name a long time ago when I was reading a lot of Steinbeck and have used it since. I really liked that guy.

I guess I need to figure out the avatar thing.

 

[wheezal]

Wheezal....an asthmatic weasel...cuz kids can be cruel and some names just stick.


The avatar? Mooninite yo....the most awsumest creatures EVAR! they look down on our puny 3 dimensions, because they have 5....thousand!

 

[edricketts]

Done! There's old Ed, standing on the steps of Pacific Biological Laboratories in Cannery Row, CA.

 

[edricketts]

Man. My new avatar looks so bland now that I see it got posted right after Mooninite.

 

[1990FOXBODY]

1990foxbody. 1990 is the year, foxbody is Ford lingo for the years 1979-1993 Mustangs. That is my 1990 Mustang GT in the avtar heating up the tires and getting ready to inhale. I kinda love Mustangs.

 

[meanckz]

my nickname just stuchk from the old mIRC days (used to be mInX), but people kept stealing it, and now there's even some stupid fingernail salon (online no less) with that name....so, I just played with the phonetics...and meanckz it has been for years

my Avatar is Arancar #3 from the anime Bleach...she's generally in a little girls form, her second form is of a young woman with big gazoongas and her third is of a female centaur
I like her character...specially in little girls form when she's bawling like grazy...she's hilarious

 

[ohmyidontthinkthisworks]

My name came from a time when they were having problems, and I kept typing in different names, then I was frustrated and randomly typed this in and it ended up working.. so it stuck.

My avatar rotates from pics, to other odd random things depending on the day.

 

[Daryl Glen]

As it should - that's a great photo.

I appreciate it.

 

[Harleybarbie]

HarleyBarbie is from 11 years ago when I was learning to ride. My younger sister said with my long yellow hair on my bike I looked like Harley Barbie, it just stuck.
My pic is from my collection of Innokin Vaping gear I own.
