I have absolutely no idea what people think when they see my user name. Sure, you could surmise that I like the legend of Beowulf, but I think most people probably wonder what the "DW" stands for.

I just like my name. Well the first three letters of my name anyway.

ThrobbingEgo:

The infamous SCAMola:
That I'm infamous, and I scam people.

To me though, you'll always be that Freud guy who did the Yahtzee thread on WarCry.

I was hoping for a real freakout too. The reaction I got was, one guy tried to have me baned, and everyone else just kind of sat there saying "no, he's talking about the board game, not Yahtzee." And then I came clean.

You guys ditched me. It would have been so much better if a whole bunch of Escapists went to WarCry to talk about "Yahtzee."

I have absolutely no experience playing Yahtzee, so it would have been quite hard to actually get a discussion going, although I do remember posting something in that thread...

But yeah, WarCry is dead now, so I guess that's the end of tht.a

Mine's just my initials, playing it safe ftw.

Apparently not.

Thanks for contributing, you really added a lot to this thread.

Internet rule: always assume you are talking to a dude unless you are presented with unquestionable evidence; chances are its either a 55 year old pedo, or a police officer on a sting operation!

Or both.

Not really sure if that would be better of worse really...just disturbing mostly. Don't know if you are British but they just prosecuted an ex-cop on child porn charges, so your idea rings true!

Canadian, but I figured it would have had to have happened by now.

My names James and my uni mates call me Jimbo thats pretty much it.

If you look closely though, you'll see that everyone posting in the forums is an escapist border jumper. All the WarCry regulars left for new grounds.

Your very welcome little boy.

Thanks Grandpa, now give me a Worther's Original and go back to your game of Bridge.

Never had that problem before, all people bitch about my user name is that its hard to spell.

I think people think 3 things "He's honest about size" "He's seen that Scrubs episode (I haven't by the way)" and that "He really likes small gherkins." The answer is C.

ThrobbingEgo:
Anyway, what do you think that people think of you, because of your username?

I think they think I'm pretty creative, 'cause that's what my handles are. Usually.

curlycrouton:
People have absolutely no idea what mine's about, which is fine by me.

Croutons! Croutons! Crunchy friends in a liquid broth!

I am all out rub papa's feet and you mite get a nice stick of rock.

lol! You should of said 'Rub my head and you might get some cream'!

My username is great because I play with an Irish guy who calls me Lard-O-thepickle. smileyface.

Mine's a name and nickname combined. Not much more to it

No one has ever said anything abot my username. And in my experience, many people comment more on avatars than on usernames.

No one's ever judged me on my name, but no one on Steam seems to realise that it's pronounced "Bel/tom" not "Belt/om". I came up with this username back when I was reading the Belgariad and I couldn't think of a better one than sticking "Bel" in front of my name.

To be honest.
I get banned a lot but I'm a pretty nice person.
The whole evil thing is just a thing of the beer-holder.

But people do kinda expect me to be all... me-alike.

That I'm going to be an incredibly patriotic and Xenophobic Brit. I'm not; my patriotism extends to me liking my accent.

Also, I once used the username as "Bloo_kitteh" once because someone once drew me as a blue cat for some reason and I needed a username. Got a large amount of private messages, some with pictures of throbbing penii (the plural of penis, as it should be).

I dont know, other people would have to tell me that I guess.

Maybe they are surprised about how nice and witty I am, maybe they assume I am bad because of "Evil" and stupid because I didnt use the usual spelling of Jack -> "Jak"

I don't think so.

I have no idea what people think of my username. It's not english, so I guess it makes little sense to people.

My username takes about 20 seconds to explain. It's stupid really.

Though I believe names to be quite useless untill you're given a nick name or call sign, etc, etc.

The Maddest March Hare:
At the OP: Probably that I'm the craziest of everyone! (Which is true)
And that I am a sort of large rabbit (probably less true)

Pedantically at the title: What's in a name? 5 letters and a space.

Actually, just four letters. I asked "What's in a name?" not "What's in "a name?"" I don't think most people would count the article as a part of the subject.

To be even more pedantic, one could argue that, for it to be just four letters, the question would have to be without article (what's in name?), which would not make sense. Therefore, the question, 'What's in a name', refers to "a name" rather than "name".

I never get judged by my username, probably because of the fact that Rayman is awesome!

People tend to shorten mine just to chef, and that pretty much sums me up. ^{Gods, I'm boring.}

I am Gaspachio! Oh! I am a summer soup! Mmm!

Well my live name is AFreedomDuck, and people occasionally mention it online, in a positive or comical manner. Otherwise yeah, I don't really think there's much in a name.

Though I did just forget about RPGs. Then It's all about the name.

Mine was picked randomly when chosing an XBL name cause I wanted 'Weasel' in the name. I can't say I've had any abuse from it, people just laugh at it and think it's a sexual reference. Which I can see how people would think that but it's not, it's just a couple of random words stuck together.

EDIT: However sometimes it is amusing to let people think it's a sexual reference.
