Sounds silly I know, but often when I look at different compers usernames or profile pics on here and I build up this picture of the what I think the person behind it looks like or is like! Not wishing to offend anyone whatsoever but here are some examples (to give you an idea what I am twittering on about!):

One-Eye - I always imagine this person to have one eye :rotfl:

Tea Pea Dee - a little indian with feathers and lives in a teepee! :D

Elver Man - a little elf like comper with pointy ears! (like a lucky charm though!);)

Lakshimi7 - because of the pic - I always imagine this lady to be a friendly and cuddly but lazy cat:o

Tink tinktinkerbell - a little fairy with wings and a wand! :A

Cornishpasty1 - a big Yorkshire whopper with a fingerprinted crust and full of meat and veg! Yummy! :j

Soooo I was just wondering if anyone chose their name for a reason? I chose Bluebella simply because I adore bluebells and the colour blue. I also love the name Bella and I am a Twilight fan! Someone once contacted me and asked if I worked for the lingerie company, Bluebella, but at the time I hadn't really heard of them!

Whilst on the subject of profile names and pics, did you choose you pic because it is lucky for you (ie I see lots of four leaf clovers used as profile pics on Facebook - obviously chosen in the hope the pic would bring luck).

    I choose tweaky(uk), because In one of my previous jobs, whenever I got a bit stressed/angry my mate used to say "look, he's getting all tweaky" so I thought its as good a name as any to use as a login :)
    Good things come to those who comp:D

    Mine's easy, it's just a shortened / nicknamed version of my name, and the initial of my surname! I've never been very imaginitive when it come to picking usernames! ;)
