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. ---

**Marconi & Schmeese** - either a yuppie frozen seafood chain (McCormick & Schmick), or a casserole filled with old radio parts. **Sage Rat** - a delicious but thrifty roast meat dish. **rachellelogram** - a woman compressed into a neat geometric shape. **Stoid** - a small fibrous mass in an uncomfortable place. ---

It’s not exactly an image but whenever I see **Siam Sam** I get the song “One Night in Bangkok” stuck in my head ---

Then again, \*\*Skald’\*\*s a pretty unique dude, so it works. For awhile I associated **Skald the Rhymer** with boiling a terrible poet in oil, or possibly steaming one to death. ---

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. ---

**Regallag\_The\_Axe**. I always read it **Regaling\_The\_ Axe** and imagine a barbarian telling stories to his favourite weapon. **WOOKINPANUB**. To me, it’s **WOOKIE IN A PUB** , and I imagine Chewbacca hoisting a pint of Guinness. ---

**Biffy the Elephant Shrew** ’s name reminds me of the _Animal Fair_ song. _Biffy the Elephant Shrew Hung out with a fellah named Drew…_ **Scumpup** : ‘Scumping up, sir!’
