I'm just curious about the significance of everyone's usernames and avatars, if you have an avatar. For me, my username is orange because orange is my favorite color and also my favorite fruit. :) My avatar is a painting I did for a friend, of her cat that died a while back.
My user name is crankiebabie. When my 5 yearold starts in with her sulking I tickle her so she will cheer up and tell her "dont be such a cranky baby" or when she pouts I say "there goes that cranky baby." My avatar I like to dress up and change her hair and all that. Im trying to find a new one that is a little different from that one.
I go the simple route on username: My first name and last initial.
My avatars change occasionally, but represent things I'm into.
Hi,
My ID name is my first name and last initial also.
Don't have an avatar, but thinking about it.
Hi, my name is mrs. pennell because I just got engaged three weeks ago, and I am still super excited! My avatar is one of my cats, Caesar.
P.S. I love your avatar, Orange. It's beautiful!
Welcome back, I missed you! :)
Hey, I just got engaged too! Like 3 days ago, haha! Do you have a date yet? We are getting married after the holidays.
Congratulations on your engagement! And thanks for the compliment on my avatar. It's one of my favorite paintings. :)
Congrats, mrs.pennell!
And lol, I like that you're practicing your new "Mrs." title! :p
My username is a construction of my first name and a play on my last name.
I use an avatar on other sites, but not here. For a variety of reasons.
I have used Fr Chuck (my name ) since the early days of Askme.com so many years ago. It was and is also my email address from the very early days of hotmail [email protected]
I am fairly well known around the question and answer sites using this name. Although I became a Bishop some years ago, most people stll callme either Fr Chuck or Brother Chuck since that is what I have went by for 30 years
What does FR stands for? I've always wondered about that. :confused:
rkim291968 = my initial login name given to me by early days of AOL. Since then, I've canceled the subscription to AOL but kept the user name.
Talani-another name for earth,man:cool: :)The picture is earth in good hands
I assumed Friar or FrereQuote:

Or it could be Father too. Priests are called Father.
Very nice avatar, talaniman! You too crankiebabie! :)
It would stand for Father Chuck, I was a religious brother for about 5 years and then a priest for over 20 years. ( a worker priest according to the rules of my order)
I am now a Bishop, but after all these years, most everone in real life still calls me Brother anyway, so I see no reason to change.
Although for official emails I do have the Bishop title used
[email protected]
And
[email protected]
Father Chuck,
Perhaps you can answer my question about Christian vs Catholics in another forum...
Mine is so easy to get what it means is not even fair, when I hand out my email address which is [email protected] and I am proud to say I have had for like 5 years, which for teens is a big feat, but if you can't figure it out, wizzkid is not a nickname, but rather something that developed when I was figuring out my email address, at around that time after I got home from playing sports I would go on our new computer and mess around with it, and I eventually became a wizz at computers and I added kid because that was what I was at a the time, and 89 is for my birth year 1989.
OK I'll play.
So Curlyben, something to do with hair and my name ;)
My Avatar changes with my mood :o
I really like your avatars Curlyben... did you make them yourself?
I wish ;)Quote:

My avatar,installed (pre xmas),is symbolic of my activities over the festive period.Like Ben,my previous two avatars,reflected my mood.My forum name is taken from "Neil",my real christian name.My niece,and nephew always call me Nez.Uncle is a no-no! Yes,Neil would be easier,but I don't mind.Kids today.So there you have it :eek:
Nice one Nez..
Surprisingly enough I don't like being called Uncle for the obvious reason ;)
My name is shortened from my actual name which is Cheryon, my avatar is a picture of my main man, Larry, who is more of a lapdog than a cat - which I will change now and then. Nothing exciting, but I like it. Orange, I love the painting! Have a great one!
My user name came from my best friend. I was venting to her one day about how much stuff I had to get done before the weekend. And she said: "you are one bizygirl". Actually she sais it at (biz-ae-gurl) and it kind of stuck. My last user name for this sight had been "hanabelle" because my name is Hannah and instead of "Annabelle" my dad always called me "Hannahbelle" I miss that user name actually.
Oh haha I like the story of your username, bizygirl! Very original. :)
And thanks Chery about the painting. Like I said before it's one of my favorites and I enjoy looking at it when I come here. I don't own the genuine article anymore, since it was a gift to a friend, and she lives in another province.
Thanks Orange, I love your painting also. Its very beautiful. Did it take you along time to do it? Hey I have a question, since we are talking about avatars, I tried to use an animated avatar for this site and it said I wasn't allowed (by animated I mean a moving one) but then I see people using moving graphics on their posts! What's the deal-y-o!:confused:
The painting took about 6 hours... but that included waiting for various layers of paint to dry. It's a mixed media of acrylic and watercolour and its actual size is 11 x 14 in or 27.9 x 35.5 cm. Actually I did it quite quickly... I was on a roll that day I guess LOL.
Re: your avatar, maybe the animation you uploaded was bigger than 19.5 K ? Because I think that's the maximum size allowed for an avatar on this site. Maybe try again using an animation that you know is less than 19.5k in size.
Thanks a bunch Orange, that makes sense. Hopefully it will work.
Guess I should add this to.
I like to be different so instead of my forename followed by the first letter of my surname, I went for the first letter of my forename by my surname. A contraversal move I know.
As for the avatar, I didn't know what to put so it ended up as a picture of Link as I love the Zelda series of games (new one out in a few months)
You are a rebel, Lee! :pQuote:

Hope ya-all had a great holiday. Tom
You know what I did? My avatar is a picture of the lead singer from evanescence that I found on my launch music thing. All you have to do is right click on the picture and then click on save picture as when it pops up. If you log in to the forum you go to your profile and click on edit photo. If you click on browse it will bring up the pictures you have saved and you can click on that picture to use in the forum. When I get a recent picture of myself in here you will see it. Not all of the sites will allow you to get their pics. Some make it impossible. If you right click and don't see a save pic as then id choose another pic.
You do seem to have a little one there, now you just have to keep on finding some pictures on your hard-drive you like, reduce them to the allowed size and keep on trying, as I did. You notice that mine is smaller - I don't know why either, but it took five tries to even get it there. So, I guess practice makes perfect here. Go to your profile again and see if there are instructions on how to change the avatar and how big it's allowed to be. Good Luck.Quote:

Well now its Trent Reznor hanging from the ceiling. Very hot! :p
I agree with D'JH, I like people seeing me for who I am. Sometimes id like to think that whoever Im giving advice to can see the person who is helping in some way, and feel more connected.
I know "deep stuff, bizygurl" But I'm just being honest.:p
I'm afraid though if people see me for who I really am, they will be horrified and run away! LOL. Seriously though, very true, bizygurl! I use my artwork as avatars all the time, and I hope that through my drawings and paintings people will see who I am... or at least have an insight into my personality and what's important to me. I'm a bit nervous about posting an actual picture, since this is the internet and I live in a small city and therefore could be easily traced.
