What's in a name?

[Mongodyr]

I have no idea what people think of my username. It's not english, so I guess it makes little sense to people.

 

[Aur0ra145]

My username takes about 20 seconds to explain. It's stupid really.

Though I believe names to be quite useless untill you're given a nick name or call sign, etc, etc.

 

[Lexodus]

At the OP: Probably that I'm the craziest of everyone! [small](Which is true)[/small]
And that I am a sort of large rabbit [small](probably less true)[/small]

Pedantically at the title: What's in a name? 5 letters and a space.

Actually, just four letters. I asked "What's in a name?" not "What's in "a name?"" I don't think most people would count the article as a part of the subject.

To be even more pedantic, one could argue that, for it to be just four letters, the question would have to be without article (what's in name?), which would not make sense. Therefore, the question, 'What's in a name', refers to "a name" rather than "name".

I never get judged by my username, probably because of the fact that Rayman is awesome!

 

[chefassassin2]

People tend to shorten mine just to chef, and that pretty much sums me up. [sup]Gods, I'm boring.[/sup]

 

[Lexodus]

People have absolutely no idea what mine's about, which is fine by me.

Croutons! Croutons! Crunchy friends in a liquid broth!

I am Gaspachio! Oh! I am a summer soup! Mmm!

 

[TheAwkwardSnail]

Well my live name is AFreedomDuck, and people occasionally mention it online, in a positive or comical manner. Otherwise yeah, I don't really think there's much in a name.

Though I did just forget about RPGs. Then It's all about the name.

 

[ThePocketWeasel]

Mine was picked randomly when chosing an XBL name cause I wanted 'Weasel' in the name. I can't say I've had any abuse from it, people just laugh at it and think it's a sexual reference. Which I can see how people would think that but it's not, it's just a couple of random words stuck together.

EDIT: However sometimes it is amusing to let people think it's a sexual reference.

Does anyone else notice that they get treated differentedly because of their usernames? I mean, I catch a lot of flack for mine. If my name was fuzzykittenshark231 and I had an avatar of a fluffy bunny [http://images.google.ca/images?rlz=1C1GGLS_enCA301CA303&hl=en&q=fluffy+bunny], I'm sure I could get away with a lot more instead of being called out for having a "throbbingego, hurr hurr."

Anyway, what do you think that people think of you, because of your username?

I'm not far off what you described, and I think intially people think I'm sweet and innocent. Then they get chatting to me or see more of my posts and I really surprise them...

 

[HotShooter]

That I am overcompensating for something. That's what the people I actually know say atleast. Can't say they are wrong though.

 

[Goldeneye103X2]

I thought that i'd get some abuse because my username sounded a bit gay and childish.

 

[Mackinator]

My name is with -ator because it just is good. OK?

 

[War Penguin]

They probably think I'm some militaristic, antarctic bird who hates flying monkeys.
Actually, that would be kind of cool if they did think of me like that.

 

[EvilMaggot]

i havent noticed anything...

 

[Merteg]

I don't think people really think anything of my name. It's just a name.

I usually just read the posts and tell who's-who just with the avatars.

 

[Spirultima]

Mine is simply there, not to reflect my skills, but to show you first hand .

Without its secondary usage its original and mine, not to mention how easy it is to sign up online "Spirultima" is never taken.

 

[Xorghul]

I have no idea...what do you think when you see my name?
