Why did you pick your particular nickname and avatar?

Duke of Tudor

I like British history. I choose 'Duke' since it is the highest rank in British nobility. 'Tudor' came from House of Tudor, the most intriguing British royal dynasty, from my point of view. I am considering to change my nickname with a new one. Any suggestions?

As for avatar, I will change it when I get bored. Since, I am taking Christmas and New Year leave, I pick a Christmas - related avatar. I guess I have worn a kippa for too long. LOL.

Actually, a tan color hijab is available in extra > accessories > scarves in Yahoo!Avatars. Check it out. You have to wait longer for a niqab to be available.

EDIT: You know a Santa hat has nothing to do with Christian faith. It's just a cultural product. Actually, many Non-Christians also celebrate Christmas but as a secular holiday, e.g., Japanese people who are mostly Non-Christians. If you visit Japan during in December, you will see many Christmas attributes everywhere.

I am thinking to change my nickname with something related with history and nobility :)

MikeInRI

The avatar pick because looks like me when I was like 18 and the id becase its my name and where I am located. There are probably 30-40 thousand Mike's In RI so I figure I am relatively safe. Especially considering I spend much of my time in MA.

Good Luck!!!

Janice

I am constantly having to change my name because I have a stalker that thumbs me down for no reason at all. This name just popped into my head. The look was cute.

Juggling Frogs

My sister started a blog last Spring. I wanted to be able to comment on her blog, so created a blog account, too.

The web address was too long and hard to remember, so I decided to spring for a domain name for it. I wanted something with a .com in it, so I could just type "ctrl-enter" and save keystrokes.

After about twenty minutes of frustration, I still couldn't find an available domain I liked. I called out to my husband, "this is about as easy as juggling frogs!"

I typed in http://www.JugglingFrogs.com and it was available!

I drew up a cartoon frog juggling five froglettes for the blog, and have used it as my avatar here, too.

That little juggling frog has become my personal logo!

I like how it has no obvious gender, age, or ethnicity, and can be interpreted as a frog who juggles, or one who juggles frogs. And (I hope) it looks happy and friendly and light-hearted.

My name incorporates a few letters of my real name, as well as a few letters of the name I was almost given (I frequently use it, or parts of it, as a pen name.

My avatar varies in its resemblance to me. It is usually similar, but I enjoy variety; once in a while, I spice things up. It keeps things interesting, and reminds people that I am actually not one small cartoon character.

The nickname? The first part is because I am a fan of the novel "Darkly Dreaming Dexter"...but of course my name isn't Dexter, its Scarlett, hence the screen name "Darkly Dreaming Scarlett".

Vagabond

Anna

Well, I thought the image was suiting.

"Bruno S." comes from a line in an Elliott Smith song called "Color Bars". He's a real person and had a horrible childhood and life, so Elliott uses him as the example of a "real man" when he sings, "Bruno S. is a man to me. You're just some dude with a stilted attitude."

Joe Cool

To reflect my personality

With my avatar, I want to show people that I am a cool, outgoing, and a handsome man.
