I know we’ve had threads about about what people mistake usernames as and what they actually mean, but I don’t think there has been a thread about how they make us feel.
I was just reading some threads and seeing the name FuzzyPickles made me crave a big green? hug and earlier today I saw Oakminster and thought about doing some wordworking in the garage. But I also have some obvious ones like picunurse bringing babies to mind, Super Kapowzler reminds of Beevus , and, of course, Opal brings pie (although I don’t actually really know if the two are technically connected).
So does reading any Dopers’ names evoke any automatic imagery to your mind?
Skald the Rhymer calls to mind the image of a Nordic bard. A black Nordic bard. Which is something ya don’t see every day. Then again, **Skald’**s a pretty unique dude, so it works.
I agree with your last three, and will offer another: Beware of Doug: the guy from Nickelodeon/Disney’s Doug turning into a monster. Beware!
I’ll see if I stumble on some more. I tend to forget names very easily. The few people who’s names I do remember don’t really conjure up anything other than what I think of them as a poster.
