Explain your name...

[Marlon]

This is a great idea

Mine’s a bit complex so bear with me.
I’ve been writing a book for over 4 years, and decided that my pen name would be Marlon C Romnic (which is an anagram of my real name).
Anyway, when I joined the forum I thought I’d use Marlon. And for my avatar I found a quirky pic of Marlon (Brando) from the under-rated 1976 Western ‘The Missouri Breaks’.

Was just reading back this thread a bit - the Marlon pic looks like he's in his delivery stride (cricket -bowling) to me chap!
And I have seen Groundhog Day
My avatar was a pic of the rear wheel and Hofmeister kink after I gave my car its first good detail. Thinking I might change it soon.
Stevo

Hey Stevo - here's the pic expanded.

Brando plays Robert E. Lee Clayton, a regulator, which is a kind of law enforcer who works outside of the law, shooting evil-doers from a safe distance. Aside from his Creedmoor rifle, with which he’s a deadly shot, he uses another, unique weapon, one Brando invented himself, a kind of spiked, iron throwing-star. Sort of. We first see him use it on a rabbit, and later on a man (not exactly cricket )

Fairly simple - mine is my first name, middle initial and last name initial. I've used it for years on forums, emails, etc. Pretty boring actually.
The avatar is one of my dogs, Koko. Her name is more interesting; its because she's chocolate and her KC name is "West Woodside Knock-out."

Oh, and she loves car journeys.

Just like my username, my avatar doesn't exactly need a much explaining. Here's a large of the original:

[M1ghty_m0use]

M1ghty_m0use because I'm only 5'8 and in my late teens / early 20's I used to train/ body build in the gym 6 days a week . People called me " Mighty Mouse"

Now 10 years later , wife and a baby I've got more like a "dad bod"

the numbers mean nothing, just when you tend to open accounts they usually ask at least one number within the user name , so this allowed the name

[mr wilks]

Emmerdale was popular when i was at school hence it became my nickname + its a shortened version of my surname , ,
i left off the "ney ney ney " part that Amos was often found saying to his friend mr wilks .
The avatar when i added it reflected my frustrations whilst commuting for the bulk of my 30 years working life should change that now as i currently work 7 minutes from home

Cheers Perry, but not idiot enough for me.

I can get to that page, it's the getting the picture and downloading or moving it to where, do I goto my pictures and move it from there ??
Like I said, it has to be the real idiots guide

[Zeddicus]

The origin of my name may be obvious to fantasy lit readers, as it is (partially) the name of a main character from Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth. Full version is: Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander, but I was mainly interested in having "Zed" in my name so I kept it short
I recommend the books by the way, although I haven't read them all yet...

As for the avatar, I'm an aerosexual and I'm proud of it

[ChrisN53]

I had an E92 325i (having gone from E36 328i>>E46 328i>>E92 325i>>E86 Z4 over the course of 7 years).

Should probably change my name to ChrisN52 now really!
