Where did your profile name come from?

[Pam]

And, please forgive me my little knowleadge about America, I thought it was a state to there.

There's a state called Arizona and the biggest city there is Phoenix.  So, it would be Phoenix, Arizona.

[Lisbeth]

Lisbeth is my first name I was quite surprised that it was available at this site. I usually have to add some numbers. Maybe I could've been more creative but the thing is that I'm quite forgetful when it comes to usernames and passwords so I like to keep it simple.

Many great stories in this thread:D I love how creative some of you guys are!

[Pielord]

Wow, been reading some of these really cool aliases derived from such creative and clever ideas. Great stories. Unfortunately, I chose mine simply because I LOVE pie.  

[Happytime]

Pielord,

I suspected you'd chosen your name because you have a fondness for pie!

I have to admit, the first time I saw your name here on the Forum, I had a brief mental image of that guy from Lord of the Dance tap-dancing and high-stepping in circles, with two pies balanced carefully above his head.

Luckily, I didn't hear any Irish-jig music, it was just the brief mental image.

[Bluebonnet]

I live in Texas, and the state flower of Texas is the .. Bluebonnet. I've blue eyes, blue is my favorite color and bluebonnets are among my favorite flowers. I chose Bluebonnet as first name when I joined Second Live over three years ago, and my picture is my "real" SL avatar, looking quite similar. I use this name in some other forums too, and Blue became my nickname ever since.

Yay for Texas!! I live in Texas too. It's so hot down here right now though I kinda wish I was in like Alaska or something. hehe

I'm also in Texas and loudly proclaiming my desire to move to Denver. 

[mtglady]

I was a home mortgage broker and processor for many years both in Colorado and in Arizona, USA.  I am also a female.  Mtglady is short for 'Mortgage Lady'.  I have used this name on many sites for many years but I changed my Sims 3 site login to debsilva3 accidently when the Sims 3 came out and now I can't change it back. 
My avatar is sort of like me except my hair is longer and very curly.  It is still fairly a reddish brown color with a few white hairs (more and more keep showing up so eventually I might look like this - lol!) and I wear glasses.

I'm in South Carolina and loudly proclaiming my desire to move almost any where else.

I got RunAmok from the friend who introduced me to The Sims. She plays in a controlled way and likes to know what her Sims are up to and direct them to their next task. I was going through a phase of putting a lot of unrelated Sims in a house and letting their free will loose to see what they would do. She would ask me how I could just let my Sims run amok.

haha, yeah we might actually move to Denver...or Seattle in a couple of years for pharmacy school because there is no pharmacy school in Dallas (yay!) lol

[TollingBells]

TollingBells, Yep, that's "Kumagoro!"  

Sorry I did not reply, but I was away on vacation. It's cool to meet fellow Anime fans! 

Siwel, I love your name. It's a very pretty name, hehe.  I always think of the giant, fiery birds, not the city.

Hey, guys, I'd love to hear more about the avatars everyone uses. I love the stories behind some of them.

Really?  No pharmacy school in Dallas?  That's pretty bad!

[Esther1981]

Well, my name is Esther and I was born in 1981! Ever since I started playing TS3, I've like Cornelia Goth, so when it came time to put up a pic, I used her! I do not look anything like her, unfortunately!

I know, it's craziness. Texas Tech has a school here with the last 2 years...but you have to do the first two in either Amarillo or Abilene. I'm glad though, I've been looking for a reason to get out of here for a while now. And it's not just because of the heat. hehe

Wow, I must be the only South African here. I feel outnumbered
