Why Did You Choose Avatar/Sig/Name That You Did?

[Broken_Doll]

Mine is from Léon: The Professional (1994), it shows Natalie Portman in the role of Mathilda.

I just really love the film.

I didn't choose it...




...it chose me...o.o

From Mad Max : Beyond Thunderdome. I liked the movies, especially The Road Warrior but I couldn't find any suitable images from that.

Yes, there is some lame 'man alone' symbolism there.

I recreated it to make a micro version of you -

 

[Midnight Sky]

Matt Damon as Jason Bourne, after I watched The Bourne Supremacy and Ultimatum. It was made before the Bourne Legacy was in production, making me think they got the name from my avatar, since that's what the words are on it.

And while I personally don't like using male avatars, the atmosphere calls for one so people aren't confused..

 

[TheRealCallie]

My name is because someone took my last one while I was gone. My sig because well, it's true. lol My avatar, because it's a cute little zombie chicken

 

[TheLoadedDog]

I wanted something that other Aussies would recognise ( also I'm related to Henry Lawson) but others would have no clue. Just on the quiet. I didn't want "Crikey that's not a knife.
Kangaroo. Poisonous spiders. G'day."

So The Loaded Dog is taught to Aussie schoolkids everywhere. I used no spaces in the user name,. because back in the 90s, that was sometimes necessary. And I've grown fond of it.

My avatar is an Edward Gorey sketch. A great American.

Hang on. My Avatar is a cat. I'll have to post the one I use on most places...

 

[PurpleStar]

Nothing exciting about mine, lol. Purple is my favourite colour, and I find comfort and peace in the stars.

My avatar sort of reflects the above (and is pretty)

Purple is the colour of womens' rage.   So they say.   

 

[TheRealCallie]

Every color is the color of a woman's rage

[Wintermute]

Anyone here a fan of William Gibson's Neuromancer?

(Interestingly enough I did not know that Wintermute is a legitimate surname in RL)

Well that explains a lot

 

[Wintermute]

I thought purple is a relaxing colour?

Do women have a chill sense of rage?

No, we have an evil, vindictive sense of rage. 

 

[Enpatsu No Shakugan]

I've described the name enough, but the current combo.... I just got done playing Second Son and had a lot of fun with it and the protagonist Delsin is a fun character. I figured, why not? And I found a nice gif of my favorite fire themed attack and there you go.

 

[Xpendable]

I finally decided people should know I was a celebrity, besides, I've been under the radar lately.

 

[ahsatan]

That is so insanely obvious now hearing that, I can't believe I never noticed.
