Man, reading all y'all's posts made me giggle.

Anybody think anything weird when they saw my screen name?

Dome. That's all I see when I read your name, is DOME.

Because of the 'iel' ending, I figured it was something to do with angels. Or biblical.

But I also pictured a domo-monster. Maybe a domo-angel?

Not "weird" exactly, but I though it said "Daniel" at first.

Runaway 'j's make me picture big, hairy, brawny men running around with big axes. Or sometimes big hairy bears running around with axes.

You know me so well -tear-

Let's not forget the attraction of a runaway 'j!'

I am guilty of this, but my excuse is that the iPad sucks. I also loathe poor grammar and spelling, and love being taught when I'm wrong on things, but it's the iPad I swear!

Re: What assumptions did you have when you read usernames of other members?

when I see peeps that don't caps anything, I wonder if they are rebellious, an e e cummings fan, or trying to make a statement about grammar

or all three

My first thought? Remember my cynicism. My first thought is pure laziness. Closely related to any "txt spk" kind of name. I'm so judgemental!

*puts hand up*

Though I'm pretty much in the same boat as you. Once upon a time, when I was younger and stupider, this was my 'craft name'. I actually no longer really use a 'craft name' but at the time it seemed like a good idea given that my first forum was a pagan one and I was trying to connect with a pagan community.

Of course... one day you realise that it's now six years later and you've used it on eight different forums, three blogs, an email address and your DA account... and that you really can't be bothered changing it. lol

As far as assumptions go... I actually don't make assumptions based on username or avatar. Sometimes I think... now how the hell did they come up with THAT? But that's not an assumption lol

I feel ya! haha

What first impressions do people get from my name, anyways.

I just sing your name. Can't help it... bobby bobby nine-ty-niiiiiiiine!
