    Usernames and avatars
    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.

    Don't have an avatar, but thinking about it.

    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.

    Fr Chuck
    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

    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.

    That's a pretty avatar, Talaniman. Friar chuck. Now that is cool.

    Or it could be Father too. Priests are called Father.

    Very nice avatar, talaniman! You too crankiebabie! :)

    Fr_Chuck
    Fr
    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

    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.
