What's in a screen name?

Be nice to me, I'm cute, and it's my first post. batting eyes

I've been lurking about for a few weeks now. lurking I've noticed that screen names are Prince related, real names, hobby and/or interest, and just plain weird.

I have a feeling that this may have been done before, and I say, "so what?" Let's do it again. shrug

Anyway, the question is: How did you choose your screen name? And to take it even further, explain your avatar.

I'll start with mine: well, I'm a social worker! That's it. Haven't decided on an avatar yet.
hmmm

My name refers to a time in the not too distant future where all present human governments will be crushed and be replaced with one government referred to as God's Kingdom. (Daniel 2:44; Matthew 6:10) In other words this present system will be replace with a 'new system' ruled by the king of kings Jesus Christ on a paradise earth. (Luke 23:43) My avatar shows people dancing round the earth united as one happy human family. smile

my screen name is an abbreviation of 1 of my (many) Yahoo! email accounts,
& my avatar is the logo for my name, which is nicely representative of me.


social work seems to be very challenging. is there a certain type that you do?

I think you should go for a very "cerebral" or "abstract" avatar..
I'll see you tonight..

AzureStarr

My name comes from my husky that I used to have, which I named Alexander Azure Star. I named him that because his eyes were an azure blue and he had a patch that was shaped like a star on him. I took the name because I am a Leo and in the heart of the Leo constellation is a blue star. So, it's sort of fitting, in a way, for me anyway.

SupaFunkyOrgan
grinderSexy

avatar

I used to go by OrgangrinderTheMagnificent on the old Prince.org and then when this new org was unveiled my new name would not fit (too many letters) and there were 3 or 4 people using the Organgrinder moniker so I wanted something creative and distinct.

Was sitting there listening to the black ablum at the time reveling in the song SuperFunkyCaliFragiSexy and it dawned on me...

I'm Super
I'm Funky
I'm Sexy

Who the hell knows that CaliFragi means so I replaced it with my old screen handle and *viola* a star was born...SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy! woot! I actually had to change the word Super to Supa because it wouldn't have fit otherwise but Prince prounounces it "Supa" throughout the song. Many people simply call me Supa smile

And my avatar, well that is me pointing to a little golden statues wiener. Cute idn't it? biggrin

GAPeach

Women from Georgia are sometimes referred to as 'Georgia Peaches.' Georgia, of course being known for its peaches. However, I remember a teacher of mine saying that GA actually grows more pecans. hmm

Anyway, I back on topic. When Prince was here in ATL, he sang Peach and added Georgia and all the women went crazy.

BTW, I don't like the song, but it works. nuts

The avatar is an animated me.
Our past has made us into who we will be in the future.

Peaches are sweet! nod
