Do you judge people by their username?

Pittabre, 23 September, 2010 at 13:58 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 38

This may sound a bit random but I have realsied I make assumptions about people based on their usernames! FIONA is the one I was thinking of in particular because I always imagien her to be shouting and people that shout scare me slightly so I am nervous about reading her posts (sorry FIONA I am slightly mental!)

AlmostMrsP automatically makes me smile because on BT people occasionally refer to me as MrsP so when I see ehr username I think bless shes nearly like mt he poor sod!

crafty em makes me think of crafty as in has a glint in her eye like some sort of Artful Dodger.

RaeF sounds like it Ralph said the posh way and makes me think of that actor I like and imagine her to be charming like him.

I'll stop now before I embarrass myself anymore.

    Lol, that's very sweet of you! I frequently don't pay much attention to usernames because I've got such a pants one (I've not got round to changing it yet) and also because if I'm on my phone the screen is too small to display both the post and the username so I frequently don't even know who's posted what.

    ☹️ sorry if I come over that way but its just me and I am actually a shy person honest. H does shout at me for how I type to him on skype so sorry

    The only time I scare people or wish to scare people is the people I do as I chase money for a living

    Sorry again if I come across that way

    x

    Ps: it has tickled me though as you are right you do get pictures in your head of people ?

    I am afraid you will always make me crave chips in pittabread ?

    I am sure there was a thread on WP a while back and people said they read my username as WTF

    I don't think I judge on usernames though

    Not sure I've ever been called charming before, I like it!

    I don't really look at usernames - I 'recognise' people from their avatars mainly.

    I do this too.

    There were some right corkers a few years ago, and a fair few who got slated for their username choice on the old OT.

    You used to be able to change it really easily, just by going on your profile, at christmas we used to change it to xmas themed names

    One I can really remember was a gal called "kiansmummy". She got slated because of lack of an apostrophe.

    Just Fi will be fine ?

    Its surprising though how your eye scans something and how your brain registers it. Tahdah makes me think of magic ?

    I work off peoples pics too, but in my head I always say Tah-Dah (as in jumping out of a giant cake) when I read it!

    Tahdah - pleeeeeeeeease don't change your avatar. I love it! It makes me laugh every time.?

    I'm also PMSL at crafty em being a pickpocket.?

    My username is crappy, but pretty self explanatory tbh. I'd love to change it to something witty, but I have no idea what.?

    Pittabre - I love your profile pic. I want one of those.

    I don't think I judge people by usernames but I do get confused by MrsXYZ or XYZ1982 or XYZ83 but that says more about my pregnancy brain than anything. I do think you shoul dbe able to easily change your username though and not sure why they took the facility away. I'd like to be able to amend mine as shortly I will not be HavanaBaby, they will all be had!

    Haha!! My Mum hates Rachel being shortened to Rach so always been called Rae but, strangely enough, the username Rae went one week before I joined here so added the F of my surname and didn't realise you could have spaces! Not so exotic really!!
