When you think about your user name...does it fit your gender?

Just out of curiosity.. when you REALLY think of your user name... does it describe a male, female or Doesn't matter?
Do people mistake you for the opposite gender because of your username?
I think for me, ChristianRonin sounds a lot like a guy's UN.. and I have been called a guy numerous times...
but I want to know...about your name! ^_^ Does this happen to you?

John Locke was a guy...
But I guess Locke can go both ways.

I think my name speaks for itself.
...But to be honest, if I'd had more brain power on the day I chose it, I probably would have chosen something else.
You would probably know me now as BBladeKai879 or something equally... numberful... XD. So you can all be glad I just went with my name! ^^

Nope, I don't think mine fits my gender. I haven't been around here very long, but I found kinda quickly that my name must sound like a guy's. And it must sound like a
young guy's ... I got a really funny message or two at the beginning where I was quite obviously mistaken for someone I'm not.
heehee! Not many old female mech-heads around I guess!

I think my username is pretty darn feminine, considering it's just a female japanese name. . . and my avatar supports that notion, I think. . . at least I don't know of many GUYS who would want either. . . ??

Kokoro = feminine
Daisuke = masculine
so I'm a bit of both?

I'm not sure, earlier today I was mistaken for a girl, but I don't think it was because of me screename.

Steeltemplar definitely sounds like a guy name.
And besides.....it's inspired by a song by the metal band Hammerfall. Can you get more masculine?

Mine could be either. I do get mistaken for a guy a lot though.

I think mine can go both ways. Although I don't know many guys that would name themselves "white light" XD; Yet I get mistaken for a guy all the time~ I think it's my avatars, which are almost always male.

Well, since I don't think any guy would want his name to mean cherry blossoms..then yeah I'd say it fits

i highly doubt any guy would call himself Starfire

My name could definitely go both ways. "Me" isn't exactly gender specific.

I have never been called a girl and it will never will happen. My User name fitts my Gender.

I dont think mine implys either gender, but I may be wrong. I want to change it anyway, and plan to do so as soon as I come up with one that I would like to change to (in other words, you will be caling me piloswine for quite a while).

Yes. Go ahead and guess.

Well the easiest way to clear up any gender questions for people is to use the gender symbols.
My name is very masculine means "bodyguard." From the movie and FFX mostly from the movie.

In contrast to my previous statement , I have decided to change my username asap. It will henceforth probably be Scribs I am now waiting for a responce from our wonderful head admin and founder, who has a distinctly feminine name.
I think that the name scribs is pretty masculine.

I have been mistaken for a girl once, but that was by someone who had seen Tenchi Muyo. I'm not sure the name really fits who I am, but it sounded good and I liked the character so I went with it.
The only trouble I've ever had with my screename was on some automotive forums, where people accused me of being a wannabe ricer simply because of my avatar and screename. So moral of the story is.......never mention anything that sounds remotely Japanese around musclecar guys.

Heck I don't know... not sure whether my name sounds feminine or masculine. Maybe a uni-sex type name. *shurgs*
All I know is that it sounds weird.

I believe it is well known that no one really knows what's under the pointy hats of those Black Mages.
