My younger brother thought of it at the spur of the moment when I joined IMDb in 2006.

I think mine is easy to figure out. Play on my name and fav color. It actually was a real life nickname some guy I worked with called me. I liked it.

I goofed! I was aiming for the Maori word for fire, and missed. I have met people called Awhina, and thought that was it, but Awhina actually means helper/supporter which is a cool thing to be.

juicebox07 is something I've been using for about ten years. I chose juicebox because it reminds me of my childhood. (I went to my first sleepover in elementary school and the girls mom gave us all juice boxes to drink). 07 is the year I graduated high school and also the same year I started using that username.

According to the Hearts of Iron game series (which is about World War 2, and loaded with real photos of historical figures), if the fascists ever take over Australia, someone called JHA Durant becomes the Prime Minister/President. According to Wikipedia, Google, and just about everywhere else, no one called JHA Durant ever existed during that time. My avatar pic is what he supposedly looked like.

We should all have avis to reflect our real gender, and I noticed this board doesn't have the 3rd option. Or 4th. I also noticed some found a way to hide the blue or pink icon. But I've digressed quite a bit! If they say, "It's none of your business," then that's okay but seriously, when they go into a conservation with 'real humans', do they get inside a cardboard box and talk to them through a hole? Do they also alter their voice so it's not distinguishable? I'm not even sure how I turned my gender thing off. I'd have to look at wherever the personal info settings are and try to figure it out.

It was originally a spin on Shaun of the Dead with my real name but I just changed it to living instead of dead.

I think hiding your sex or deliberately making it hard to determine (whether online or in real life) is a pretentious move. It's mostly females who do this anyway. Not like we can't tell 99% of the time.

The gender issue seems to have taken over! I have come across at least one man who claims that there are no women on the internet and we are all men in drag. I like to make a point of proving him wrong.

My name is the company responsible for the construction of a certain object in a certain movie... I first saw the movie on VHS when I was a teenager, and I loved it. I still love it today, I'll admit it has some weaknesses, but it just left such an impression on me. PS - If you know what my avatar is from, you are awesome.

It's a corruption of "T Mac" which was my nickname from a few friends.
With "TMac" unavailable when I first went online, early 2000's? I opted for 'mickeetease', kind of a pun.
Once my AOL mail got hacked (laughably, "I" was sending everyone I knew {including my mother and sister} Viagra ads, yucchh!), I eliminated the account.
Then I just stuck with 'mickeeteeze'. It's admittedly too long, but my vocations have never depended much on an online presence, so I've just kept it.

Nickname given to me by high school friends. At that time Bocephus and Willie Nelson were two of my favorite singers.
