Tell the Story of Your Handle/Avatar

[rilte4]

The other name I considered was Billy Rubin, but I was worried people would think I was yellow.

I'd like to introduce you to Frank Hemoptysis

Sounds like a hack to me, but some would say that he exudes humour.

It's an issue how much I'm enjoying these.

I've just always wondered what the backstory is behind people's avatar or SDN handle. Like how did LizzyM choose that name? Is that really mimelim in his picture? What does Ismet mean? Is WedgeDogg's name a golf reference?

So here is your chance for anyone who's ever wanted to explain their SDN handle!


Personally, I chose "Not A Troll" because I've been lurking this site for years, seen many trolls, and wanted to assure the good people of SDN that I do not partake in such frivolous activities.

I wonder what @NotASerialKiller @NotaCop @Notanorange and @NotABrony have to say

As for as my name goes, it's a combination of two characters in a manga/anime series i watch. I'll give a hint to anyone curious: it's about pirates and the characters are both doctors.

My avatar is a Penrose triangle, which is basically an optical illusion. I just added it to show that I am basically stuck in an infinite and imaginary loop, so i'm just rolling along

 

[619959]

Well, I am scared of Cats and I am scared of Med School apps- so yeah, it kinda made sense when I was picking my name LOL

if there is only a way to form groups on SDN, it will be one of the largest and most popular

I just wish my avatar was my pet.

[Avicenna]

I'm actually an undead pirate that has gone by Mad Jack since about 1685 or so. Spent the years since my untimely death studying for the MCAT in Davey Jones' locker.

Really though, Mad Jack is a historical name that has been carried by a lot of the most interesting and insane men in history. I'm kind of crazy, and my alias under which I cause trouble has been Jack (redacted) since I was about 18 or so, named after a the I Am Jack's poems in Fight Club because we were fresh out of the 90s and it seemed like a good idea. Every username I've ever had has "Jack" in it somewhere, so for this iteration I picked Mad Jack as a nod to the best Jacks in history.

The avatar? Total accident. Found it one day and just decided I liked it, have never changed it since. Every time I have changed it for WW games or whatever I get a lot of "WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH MJ?!" so I think it's just best to leave it be.

I always see u on sdn for years now, what u doing as a nonstudent? Are u trying to get into med school, or what

I lived in Wisconsin for awhile growing up and am still a big Packers fan.

My name is a Breaking Bad reference.

 

[Lannister]

I'm a huge fan of The Sopranos and when I googled photos of Tony Soprano, this one was the perfect fit.

I've been meaning to tell you this for a while now but I love your avatar. I started watching the Sopranos a month or so ago. I just started season 6 today. So much emotion

[bee17]

Bee is a family nickname. 17 was my jersey number in high school and club sports. I thought the avatar was cute.

 

[Theafoni]

My dad was a trauma surgeon at a big county hospital in the NYC in the 1980's. His team used to refer to themselves as "The Knife and Gun Club" because basically all they did was treat stab wounds and gunshot victims. Some of the guys even have these badass tattoos of a knife and switchblade on their bicep, which is where I got the idea.

That is awesome.

 

[VegasPreMed]

I live in Las Vegas. I like Orangutans and Rambutan (Google it. Then go buy it and try it.) . Although, I may have to donate to change it from PreMed soon...

There's Irish blood in my family, and O' Grady was the family name before my grandfather changed it.

My avatar is Michael De Santa from GTA 5, a very imperfect yet relatable protagonist

Eat some at the top of one of the strip casino's while you check out the view. I may or may not have done this with my wife and it may or may not have been amazing.

My avi is aussi comedian Alex Williamson, that's the face you make after you run out of drugs.

Tbh I never even knew you could get it in the states, the only place I had it was in southeast asia.

And I celebrated my med school acceptance with the SO on the strip in Vegas. I can't wait to have that attending salary so I can go back and do it again

So you're not trying to get into medical school then is all I heard.

Jk jk ily.

My name is a reference to a poet from my home country and a character from Chrono Trigger, an awesome game. This was actually my original avatar and I recently went back to it (it was Lucca from Chrono Trigger before). The picture is of Johan Liebert, the main villain from the "Monster" anime and manga. One of my personal favorite manga/anime villains; if I was going to be a bad guy, I would want to be Johan. I was originally looking for a good picture of Dr. Tenma, the good guy from the series, who is a neurosurgeon and therefore (I thought) more apropos for SDN. However, I'm definitely more Johan than Tenma lets be honest.

 

[whatever5]

It's whatever.

 

[Lucca]

If the OP is truly interested, he should look for @Jalby's legendary, decade spanning thread on the story behind his avatar.

 

[The Knife & Gun Club]

Maybe your dad knew the author of this book:
Amazon product

Whoa I've never seen this one before, I always assumed it was a reference to the book I have as my avatar. For $0.01 can't think of a reason not to order it!

 

[pageantry]

The leaf is because I'm always a leaf online, thanks to Yeats' /The Two Trees/. Here, it happens to be a leaf of a young Psychotria viridis plant.

Pageantry, because being from the 90s I am meta AF. \m/

I wrote out my plan to get into medical school and followed it religiously so I guess you would call it conscious and calculated lol plus it played off on Pre-med. - handle

[catmario]

I just like having a laugh.
It really has nothing to do with Tom Cruise, or the sausage costume he's stuffed in as he relives his famous Oprah couch moment. I don't think I've ever
even seen a single Mission Impossible movie.
That being said, I hope I get to have my Tom Cruise couch moment sometime before May. Because that's exactly how I'm going to celebrate.

 

[AlfonsTheGuru]

I'm a huge fan of Dr. John Thackery.

Your sig points me in the direction of your affection for all Pokemon... that, or you're a big fan of Yale

Haha did u have to look up the Unowns or was it transcribable without it ?
Long time love. for both ! Who doesnt like a no-grades system ? And come on. Who doesnt like a childhood remake of their game ?

I have seen so many images of Celebi. that one is unique. and lovely
This avatar could not suit me more.Its the face I have flying around on these forums learning everything about the process.

No googling necessary! You could say that deciphering is just one of my... hidden powers I can't wait for the day the release some old time classics! Crystal version in ultra-high def, revamped modern layout, and the Oculus cherry on top? mmmmm, I can dream, right?

Oh God I can only dream! And how about....this time release the GS ball within the US so we can grab a celebi the traditional way. If I won the lottery not gonna lie would spend the thousands of dollars on getting it the traditional way lol. Did you see how much a crystal version sells for now if its unused ? Its like a couple hundred even thousands of bucks....
Crystal is a must. Someone calculated or analyzed the pace of remake + inserting new games, and I believe crystal is not too far out. So its just a matter of time. Maybe even on the WiU and we get to ride Suicune across the frozen tundra

 

[NotaCop]

I wonder what @NotASerialKiller @NotaCop @Notanorange and @NotABrony have to say

Can't speak for the others, but I'm just your typical 20 year old premed who happens to look like a creepy 40 year old man. My avatar is 100% me
