What's in a name?

Post Reply New Topic

I feel that I should have been born in London, I speak with a Cockney accent, I was very rebellious when I joined in 2004 and I still am to a certain extent. I also still rebel against certain things such as the way that Autism Speaks portrays us to be and gender stereotypes. I use images of The Kinks and Mick Avory as avatars, because I'm a Kinks Fan and chubby 1964 - 65 Mick Avory is the member that I'm very similar to in looks, morals and personality...not to mention temperament. Look at the old pictures and most of you will know what I mean. I'll stop here and move on to something else. If anybody tries to attack me, I'll attack them back.

I thought that was Humphrey Bogart! I live and learn.

Aw, there's no need to be defensive, CockneyRebel. If anyone is hurtful, you don't have to engage them. Just be yourself. I'm sure most of us like you just fine as-is.

'Farqy' was the brainchild of a friend. It's a nickname based on an old haircut with which I bore a vague resemblance to Lord Farquaad from Shrek (without the hat or the fringe, anyway).
I imagine that 'the Indolent' speaks for itself.

The avatar, meanwhile, is a photograph of the wonder that is the Treffry Viaduct.

How about Englebert Humperdink?

username: because I was listening to music that made me happy the day I signed up, Mozart.

avatar: um, though I hesitated to set my ninja aside, I just thought that this lady was very beautiful and I'd like to be like her in terms of generosity and humility. I have a lot to learn from just the symbolism.

My username is boring, I know ... my real first name and my city. I have another username that I've used on other sites, but for some reason I didn't use it here. I don't remember why.

But having said that, I like my name ... Carole. I think it sounds nice. I also think the word "Tucson" sounds nice. So it goes.

Zara - From a character I wrote about. It did originate from Zarathustra.

Had I realized it was actual female name I probably would have used something else, but too late now.

Avatar is the Cybuster from Super Robot Wars.

Lace-Bane: in a story I've been thinking of for quite some time, my favorite character Lacey is killed by a katana. Upon rebirth into a new realm she awakens with it. She keeps it as a memento and calls it Lace-Bane. It is a powerful blade, but is her weakness just the same.

So yeah I named myself after a sword that performed a coup de grace on my favorite character, but the symbolism is that I am strong and weak... soft and sometimes harsh.

I really like the name, but I noticed people think I'm a girl sometimes
