What's in a (user) Name?

[DiverDownD3]

Like UNCFNP mine is a reference to my alma mater. I went to NC State (hmm, just 20 miles from UNC) whose mascot is the red wolf. Since I'm living in SC I'm the red wolf from South Carolina = SCRedWolf. Nothing fancy or creative.

My avatar is a picture of me taken during a wall dive at Isla Catalina in the Dominican Republic. If my behavior remains consistent I'll change avatars every once in a while just for something different.

Go Pack! NCSU grad here. I think that's why I took up diving. Being a State fan is just too depressing at times, I needed an activity that would lift my spirits

Mine's pretty self-explanatory the D3 is my initials DDD

First two letters are start of my family name, third is first of my name, rest is our word for Icarus, since I was and still am crazy about flying

I am a doctor, which gives the "dr". My initials are "mwc". I am also not very imaginative.

You can guess my plain vanilla username.

As for my avatar, that was the first Oceanic Mola Mola I saw in Crystal Bay, Nusa Penida, Bali, Indonesia. It's tail was being cleaned by a foot-long Emperor Anglefish. So, I let you guys estimate how big that Mola Mola is. It was a chilly water for me (22C or 72F) for me & at deepest depth I was ever dare to get down to (43 m or 140') with 27% Nitrox, so I was over the 1.4 PO2 MOD. My DM & dive buddy were few feet above me & watching me closely if I start to act strange & ready to grab me to safety. But, I was down there for only few seconds, just to get that picture & slowly ascend. The rest of the dive was pretty mundane.

As for an avatar, I dunno, maybe I'll come up with one someday. I don't really get the purpose.

Consider it a miniature personality test...

What Does My Avatar Say About Me? Inferring Personality From Avatars

So what meaning can be inferred by the refusal to select an avatar.

So true I had to laugh.

Obviously, that I'd rather have people infer my personality from what I write in my posts rather than a "customized cartoon representation of the self."

Obviously they can also be an indication of one's sense of humor.

In my other life I was a huge State fan and still have the t-shirt from the 1983 NCAA basketball championship.

My sister was going to Carolina at the exact same time I as going to State. We somewhat shared a car so it had to have decals for both schools on it, lol.
