Unfortunately mine was just a dummy name for facebook that was easy to remember. I hate facebook but I could only get timely support from a couple of companies via facebook chat. I wanted a throw away email for ringplus too so just used the same.

The avatar - well you all know where that came from!

But I do remember that I had to come up with a name for my Youtube channel that I created to privately share videos a with family and friends, and after I was informed that the first few names I chose had already been taken, I just created a username that I was pretty certain had not been taken. Thus-- "I is a morph" it was, which was, I think, vaguely derived from something I was reading at the time. Since then, I have used this name on this forum, the R+ forum, and a Linux forum.

The morph character was the sidekick / star on an art show for kids when I was growing up. Used to love watching him and he was quite an institution on the BBC.

Back then, he was made out of plasticine and animated through still photos.

I thought I saw a ghost, once. And after browsing through this forum, I'm usually pretty hungry.

Ente is enter without the r at the end. I like that it's short and has a good chance of being available at most sites. The avatar is the view from behind a sector of a Sprint cell tower.

Many thanks to all who replied! (Still waiting for D_vs_T's epic username tale, but no doubt it will be worth the wait.

)

Speaking of D_vs_T, if you don't mind my asking, which 3 avatars were your favorites? Inquiring minds want to know...
