Your nickname and avatar

[tanuki]

Hello, people!

I don't know if this has been done before, but I did a search on this and couldn't find anything.

Anyway, I'm curious about why some people use the nicknames they use. Some are obvious, like when they use their names, but some leave me wondering. And it would be nice to know why did you choose the avatar you're using, too.

And there are some people who have changed their nicknames, right? It would be nice if you told why as well.

[Takeo Saeki]

I named myself after a Japanese movie character. The guy in Juon (And its American remake, The Grudge) who killed his family and started the Juon curse.

It sounds so much more corny when I put it that way LOL.

And earlier, I named myself baka gaijin just to be funny, but changed it back after recieving some very useful advice on the subject of usernames. Plus, I like Takeo Saeki better anyway.

[keatonatron]

Huge fan of Buster Keaton. If only he were a robot...

"Now introducing the Keatonatron 5000! It'll cook, clean, and lose the girl, all with a stone face!"

[jinksys]

My name is linksys with a J instead of an L. Its unique and lets people call me jinx . As for my avatar, its a left facing swastika, or manji ( 卍 ) .

[Zeo]

"Zeo"

I remember the story when I "made" my name.

I was/am a fan of the Matrix series, and the main character's name is "Neo". I found this name very cool, but I didnt want to use it. Then one day I saw a movie with a person that was named "Zen". So then I mixed the two names and got "Zeo".

The story of my nickname. ^^

And as for my avatar, I just find it quite cute. ^^

[Mariya]

Makes me wish I had a good story behind my name...>.>....

The avatar, I just loved pure and simple. I normally have a habit of changing my avatar every now on then, but I don't do it here. Everyone probably recognises me here by the avatar. ^_^

I'm afraid to guess which country you're from, because I worry that if I guess wrong, you'd be insulted.
