Berean Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 I hope this is not a repeat but I think this is an interesting topic. Mine is a rather obscure Biblical reference...did anyone catch it? The avatar is a drawing I did of my favorite musician Tom Waits...do *not* get me started on him or I will never shut up...:cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Godless Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 (edited) I must admit, I didn't initially put much thought into my screen name. I have another sn that I use on several other websites, including an ex-mormon website. That sn has been rejected on a couple of sites due to the fact that it can be linked (presumably by Google) to an atheist. I didn't want the admins here to think that I was an anti- due to the fact that I used that sn on a website that caters to antis, so I decided to try a new one. In retrospect, I like the sn I use here because it's a blunt representation of my worldview. People hear the term "godless" and generally attach a negative connotation to it. I see no reason for this. I am a godless individual, yes, but I still consider myself to be a good person. As an atheist in a predominantly Christian society, I want to break the negative stigmas attached to my worldview. My avatar is a design I came up with this past summer when I was contemplating a tattoo to get with my best friend. I wanted a red star tat, but I wanted it to be unique since everyone and their mom has a red star tat these days. I recently decided that it'd work nicely as an avatar as well.

LittleWyvern Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Name: obscure F-Zero-GX reference. Reminds me of myself in many ways, so I keep it. Avatar: just some nice picture I found somewhere. I spend a lot of time carving it out of the background, which means the background is transparent, but on a forum like this with only one theme it doesn't make much of a difference. EDIT: I've been thinking of mirroring my avatar left-to-right so I'm not staring into the left edge of everybody's monitor, but I'm too lazy.

rampion Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 On other sites I'm Rapunzel (Rap for short). I probably registered that name here and forgot, and didn't come back for a while, and couldn't even remember that I had registered before. I'm not sure. Anyway, I couldn't register here as Rapunzel, which I am used to being called and feels more like my name than my real name sometimes. So I found something related that has a similar sound. Rampion is the vegetable that Rapunzel's mother just had to have so badly when she was pregnant, that she stole it from the witch. The avatar is a picture of Rapunzel, of course. I had very long hair until I caught it on fire about a year ago and had to cut it. It's just now getting down to my waist again from shoulder-length a year ago. I relate to the Rapunzel story in more ways than just the hair, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pam Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 My username is quite unique...you see..many many years ago, there was this beautiful baby girl born. It was a Sunday morning in eastern Oregon. I just sooooo identified with her that I took her name to use. Oh wait...that was me. haha My avatar is just my absolute favorite character in the Shrek series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berean Posted March 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 OK it sounds like no one caught the reference, but it is pretty obscure. I thought it was spelled Borean but it is with an e...I like the o better but I would rather be correct than have the cooler name I guess. When Paul preached to the Bereans they checked out what he said in the scriptures for themselves and he thought that was cool. As you know the avatar is a drawing I did of my favorite singer Tom Waits that is now hanging in a burrito shop which is fantastic (the restaurant) BTW and if anyone actually visits me which would be *awesome* but unlikely since I live in a pretty but boring state...esecially cold this time of year, we would need to go there. He did not call it Big Mouth Burrito for nothing...the stuff is HUGE and more than just burritos. There is paper on one of the tables to draw on and he will provide the materials. The guy who runs the shop is super nice and has really good taste in music IMO. So voila my screen name and avatar. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cofchristcousin Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 (edited) I'm a moderator on the Community of Christ board, and I know the frustration of a person coming in to "set us straight" and be deceptive about their motives and background. Think Trolls. I didn't want to give that impression here, so I wanted to it to be clear what my affiliations were. The cousin part comes from visiting the Kirtland area. On one Priesthood retreat we visited the LDS village and the sisters greated us their "cousins". At the Temple I have overheard many a parent explaining to their children that our churches are cousins. I thought that was cool, not of the same household, but family at some level. So, I'm cofchristcousin, aka Stacie Edited March 10, 2009 by cofchristcousin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nc31410 Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 I like it! It's a pretty sounding name- does it mean anything?Yeah, after some research my husband did, it means "a gift from god" but we can't remember the origin of the name.

Jamie123 Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 "Jamie" is short for James - my middle name. Some people know me as "Jamie" in real life. My avatar is "Titch and Quackers", an almost-forgotten British kids' TV show from the late 60's and early 70's, which features in some of my earliest childhood memories. This is the only picture of them I have ever been able to find on the web. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarnished Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 My sn comes from a conversation my husband and I had one day. I used the word in reference to something and at the time that I came here I felt that it fit. As for my avatar, I often find myself identifying with the moon, and this is one of my favorite pictures of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenamarie Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 My screen name is my name, and my avatar is a picture of my daughter in her Minnie Mouse costume. I may soon be changing it to a picture of my newest son though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captmoroniRM Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Originally on younglds.com, I was captmoroni. Then I became ElderCaptMoroni when I got my mission call. When I came back, I became captmoroniRM. It's been my sn ever since. With the exception of the occasional use of my superhero name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
