[quote="Will 2.0"]I changed my name to Will 2.0 due to the fact that I got in this huge fight a couple months ago in 48 Hours and eventually made up with them and from then on I said I'd be a new me, an upgrade. Will 2.0! And my avatar is from my trip up to my soon to be college where I saw a giant teddy bear made out of colored tires and hay.[/quote]

Dominic1978
Nothing all too special about my nick.
Dominic is my real name, 1978 is my year of birth.
The avatar is my own eye edited in Photoshop and was used as a morse puzzle in TSO. (After which I started using it as an avatar).

Geppetto
Well, while I'd browsed the forums before, I'd never actually participated until I decided to try my hand as a PM. I thought, "what would be a good name for a puppetmaster?", and then was surprised to learn that Geppetto wasn't already taken!

parth2024
I've been using 'parth2024' since ages, ever since my first e-mail account. Parth is my first name, and I just seem to havea fancy for the number 8, so I broke it to pieces and came up with 2024 (2+0+2+4=8 ).
My avatar is due to my obsession with the ARG, 39 Clues.

swish
I've used
swish
as a nickname on the internet for ages, first came up with it for the first email account I ever created. Has to do with comic book sound effects, something heard but not seen, something fast - that is what I thought email was, I guess. There were no SMS or chats back then, not that I knew of. And also I'm born in very 'airy' astrological circumstances. I believe
change
is the true nature of things (of Dao) so it had to be moving air, wind...
My avatar is a picture of me in the hairstyle I was inspired to get from
V for Vendetta
and
Fight Club
. (I've always used to have really long hair, my mother almost had an heart attack when she found me in bed that morning with a shaven head.) Now it has all grown back out, so this was some years ago. It works as an avatar because it represents me well (since it
is
me) but at the same time I don't think anyone would recognize me IRL from that photo. Also it reminds me of a time when I tried to live out my dreams in my actual life instead of just in a alternate reality. ...Ahh, to be young and reckless again...
My signature is something Evey says to V in
V for Vendetta
, something true to my father too.

umbrellakraken
My name, uninterestingly enough, is from the character The Kraken in the comic book Umbrella Academy. I kind of wanted a different username for this site, because I have a main username that I use for everything, and I felt that I should be more unique.
And my avatar is a not-so-subtle reference to my obsession with Lost.

Pie-ro
Name: Was my characters name in City of Heroes, a super hero mmo.
Avatar: Sylar from Heroes. It's from where he kills his first victim. Very sweet. He's all, "Your broken." Then bashes the guys head in with a rock.

M13A77
Pretty basic here.
My first name is Mike and my last name starts with Batt...
Anyway 13a77 looks like Batt when pushed together (and squinting and a bit slooshed) soooo...
M=Mike
13a77=batt
or
MBatt
The avatar is one of the Aquabats a music group. No real reason and for some reason i didnt see the bat conection before writing this (which may explain why I suck at ARG solves).

StapledPuppet
Hmm... Cheese with dragon powers, wow.
Anyway, I got my name off the top of my head, like a year ago, it is completely random, and my avatr at the moment, well, I made to go with the name, oh Photoshop CS3.
There you go

Vecheeso
Many people have asked me where i got my name and avvy from.
Back in 1997/1998 Half-Life 1 was popular, and my brother sucked at the multiplayer part of the game, so he picked the online handle Swiss_Cheese, cause he was riddled full of holes.
A year later I had a copy and wanted my own handle. But it needed to stick with the 'cheese' format. Well I was huge into Dragon Ball Z at the time and my brother had just gotten in the Japanese imported actual movies of DBZ, including the first one showing fusions.
Anyway, I loved Vegito (Goku and Vegita fused together) and i wanted to keep to the cheese name. So Vecheeso is Vegito fused with a piece of cheese. Which explains why my avatar is a piece of cheese with anime eyes. The sharp teeth are for effect.

Nighthawk
It's a trailhead, I tell you! Let's move it to N&R!

Euchre
In that case they might have thought to check context first...
"I chose my name because my real name is Gerard Uest, and my avatar is temporarily unavailable, so none is shown."
