What made you pick your avatar/ username?!

[SPowers]

Hi... my name is Sharron Powers so it's not a stretch with my name. One of my other hobbies/obsessions is poker - I play No Limit Holdem both live and online and my online screen name is QueenOfHearts - since I love to cook and bake, I chose this avatar. I would change my poker name to that but it's not allowed so I'm stuck with it.

 

[Garden Gives Me Joy]

Hi there. my legal name does not represent who I am. ... Excuse the tangent but I really love the idea that some cultures have of naming and even re-naming according to personal characteristics and significant experience.

So in keeping with that culture and if you want insight into what uplifts me most, my username gives a clue. I am forever mindful of the symbiosis of my relationship with my garden : I care for her and she gives me food, medicine, entertainment, calm. ... I am so in love.

 

[gloopygloop]

Well as I mostly make HP soap I thought that what I am putting into a mould each time is a Gloopy Gloop ! of hot gelled soap mass....hence!

 

[PixellVixen]

PixellVixen just sounded cool, to be honest. And I like video games (hence the pixel portion). Okami is my favorite game, and Doge is my favorite meme. Okamidoge is the best.

 

[Darkhawk]

Well I have recently discovered silicon molds for bars which are a blessing because the soap in my bar molds came out too hard to cut. I found this forum because I was looking for advice as to how to remedy that and already learned that I am waiting too long to cut it.
My handle is a name given me by a Pagan high priestess many years ago as part of my love for nature and protective role in my family. The horse in the pic isn't mine but I worked for his owner. His name is sunny and he likes to step on my foot

 

[Chach]

Hello. Brand new here. My username is a version of my daughter's nickname since my own name was already taken as a username here.
My avatar is Anne of Cleves because I have a particular fascination with her history.

 

[Sparks]

Hi. Kind of new here. My user name is because I was a radar technician in my Navy past. Avatar is just me being silly with some shades.

 

[Zany_in_CO]

My user name is because I was a radar technician in my Navy past.

Oh my goodness, "Sparks" -- as in "let the sparks fly?" I bet there's a story about how you acquired that nickname...

 

[Devivi]

Hello! I just joined a little while ago my avatar is a photo from a few months ago when i dyed my hair blue i was about to take a lovely drive with the windows down (its also the auto picked photo since i joined via Facebook)
My name is a combo of my real name Devin and Vivian which is a name i went by when i was younger because people kept thinking i was a boy someone merged the two names together back in high school and it stuck

 

[gardengeek]

Hello! My name is because I am one (garden geek)
My avatar is just a photo of a Desert Rose plant in my garden that was recently blooming.

 

[sarahmarah]

My name is based on a childhood nickname--one of those stupid ones that sticks in your family and then your friends start using it...its weird and corny when your 35 but I go with it out of habit sometimes.

My avatar is my ginormous derpy Maine Coon kitty 'Chief Brody'. He's my buddy. I made this epic portrait of him in Photoshop to give some humor to quarantine life. I do have another cat 'Hooper' he kind of sucks but my three daughters are obsessed with him. Such is life LOL

 

[RyloKen]

We're Star Wars fans in our house and it's a family joke, my husband kept getting Kylo Ren's name wrong. The joke is he is the Scottish sith - we come from Scotland.

 

[goat soap rulz!]

I picked my username, because its true! LOL! No, just kidding, I wanted to find a way to put goats and soap in my user name, and this is what I came up with.

My profile is a picture of one of my goats, baby

Love your goat Avatar, I'm a huge fan of Weed 'em and Reap. (on youtube) I don't miss an episode, it's my weekly goat fix. You must check them out.

 

[The_Phoenix]

A phoenix is a mythological bird that regenerates itself, emerging from a heap of ashes. Lye is traditionally obtained from leaching wood ashes. I married the mythology with the science of soap making. Hence, my soap company's name, The Phoenix Soapery.

 

[WonderfulSoaps]

Wonderful Soaps is what I would like to call my soap shop if I decide to open one! I have always loved the word 'Wonder' since I was kid and I felt Wonderful soaps would be a good name

 

[AlexanderMakesSoap]

Google picked out my avatar for me and pure laziness decided my username

 

[Cheeky Goat]

I was lazy. It’s my company name. The photo is of one of my most favorite soaps I’ve made to date

 

[Fireside]

When I first signed up for the Forum I was sitting by my fireplace (gas, but still pretty nice). I'm not very creative so when I was asked to give a username, I stared at the fire for a while and just chose Fireside.

 

[KimW]

My name is...my name. Avatar: Daddy called me "monkey" because I tripped over my own feet, but would grab something or bounce off something and just keep loping forward. Fast forward 20 years and hubby finds me up in a tree removing ivy. He calls out, "Hey there, my monkey!", having no knowledge of what my Daddy called me. Hubby was so touched that he bought me a monkey soap mold and started calling me "Monkey".
