First Impressions of User names


If you didn't know what a Dovetail was... I remember my mom telling my brother his hair had a dovetail in the back, thats what I always thought about with that name.


I had a friend named Jimmy Riggs in school so I always pictured him as Riggs.


Jazz Doctor, I remember someone saying he looked like Bud Bundy so I always associated him with Bud.


Confuzzed, At first I was always thinking about the movie Dazed and Confused.


Woo Hoo, before the Buffy pictures it was the song.


I have always associated Ruby with OZ


Ray, other than a dirty ol man the track


Ultimo, I still see his first avatar as the goofy super hero.


LS A quiet headbanging rocker chick .


I'll have to add more later....

When I first saw "Sparky" and the dog avatar you used at first, I thought that was your dog and his name was probably "Sparky". (We had a dog named Sparky once)

I thought that until you told the story about your little run in with the electricity stuff.

That's what I thought about Sparky too!

I knew about dovetails from antique shopping, so I always figured that's what it was about. Then he used the avatar of some of his actual dovtails, so I knew I was on the right track.

I figured Confuzzed had a problem signing up for the forum, and that's how she ended up with the name.

I always thought Asisson was the name of some fantasy character from a book or something.

I thought jstdve, before he explained, was a swimmer and it mean Just Dive.

I always thought Ultimo was a wrestler-type name, so I guess I wasn't far off there.

I remember we all thought WFTR was a radio station...

I think that's the only people I really had impressions of based on name alone. The rest I formed more due to the avatar.

I really didn't have much thought I guess. I was so new to this whole thing I was in shock.


I thought that all the "regular" sounding names were real names including Ruby because I had worked with a Ruby.


WebGuy- thought well pretty self-explanatory.


Confuzzed- I just thought was funny. But I originally kept reading it wrong.

I pictured MZ as EMZEE, and for some reason I thought you were Spanish, and I snooped into your graphic designer page too.

The names really never meant much to me, but that might be because I'd been on enough forums that I knew they didn't really necessarily mean much.

The avatars people used the first time are the ones that really formed an image in my mind. I've said before that Mz is Molly Ringwald in my head forever now.

Ultimo I definately thought of as the wrestler.

My first Avatar on the forum was Homer Simpson

I just went with Homer because my favorite thing to say is "D'oh!"

I actually have an uncle who I always thought was funny because he said "D'oh" long before the Simpsons ever came along.

Except he says it slow and drawn out, "D'oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooough"

Yeah, a lot of people thought of Mz as M.Z. instead of Ms. with a play on the Z from Hartz.

And yeah, her graphic design page rocks! If she'd only update it...

Mz really needs to get in the habit of adding new stuff to her portfolio as she gets it. But then, she's also talked about making that part of her website Flash, so maybe that's why she hasn't done anything with it. And she REALLY needs to update her resume. And maybe even have a hobbies page to show off some other stuff, like her sewing projects and Weird Newz. And she's been talking about putting her business card pricing up. And I'm sure there's even more that she wants to do to it that I don;t know about.

I'm like Mz's evil twin. She's the good side, I'm the dark side. She's off diligently working while I'm wasting time on the forum. I think my avatar looks like a spunky teenager too.

I gave up cigars in '97 once they said it contributed to oral cancer. but by then, the trend was getting passe' anyhow too. but every once in awhile, a snifter of Corveiseir is divine!
