What displays in your mind when you see other people's nicknames?

For example, whenever I see "Meowrik" I think of Meowth from Pokémon, and when I see "TEM" I think "Tehm" (the sound of saying TEM in my head). Oh, and "frostbite" used to trigger memories of Flurries from Mario 2. Can you tell I play video games too much?

When I see Hope(N Forever) I think of Mallow from SMRPG for some reason.

Friends? Heh, these are my only friends- grown-up nerds like Gore Vidal; and even he''s kissed more boys than I ever will.

That's funny, when think of Meowrik I think of Meowth from Poke'mon too. What do you think of when you hear "MarlieMoo14"? I got that nickname from my friend Aaron. My cousins would call me Marlie short for Marlana. And Aaron would call me MarlieMoo a couple times.

Whenever I read "Chupperson" it is pronounced "Cupperson" in my mind.

Most of the time I don't think anything different. For MarlieMoo14 I think "MarlieMoo14."

Before he became staff I always said "Choopperson" in my mind. One day I realized Chupper rhymed with supper. Actually, I probably asked him how he pronounced it.

When I see Deezer, I think "Weezer" for some reason.
When I see Sapphira, I think Sapphire, that blue jewel thing.

When I see Meowrik, I don't think of Meowth from Pokémon, but something else....."Meow, Erik".

I say "T-E~hm" when I see TEM, and "blackmaj" when I see BlackMage.

The "maj" is with the 'soft' or 'short' a sound, BTW.

"Meowrik" can be tricky to pronounce if going fast. I just see the letters and know it's him rather than try and prnounce and making the sound in my head "MEE~erhk" or something. I used to kind of prnouncing them in my head, but seriously, trying to say them aloud can prove quite difficult at times.

Chooperson... heh. I guess it should be Orange County Choppersons. I've known how to pronounce Chup, but then I asked the question of where he got the name "Chupperson," so I guess we're even.***

***- Chup responded to my question: "'Chupperson = "Chup person."

(Actually, once I think about it, I think he thought that I was aksing how to pronounce it, not where he got it.
SO... I will ask again. Where in the world did you come up with the name "Chupperson Weird," Chupperson Weird?

Uh... my nickname is pronounced MYOW-rick. Not hard at all.

When I see Marliemoo, I think of those cows from Moo Moo Farm in Mario Kart 64.

When I picture the mods, I usually think of their Mailbag caricatures.
MarlieMoo14 makes me think of this cartoon cow I see on my schools Strawberry Milk bottles.
Meowrik also makes me picture Meowth.
koopaslaya makes me think of one of the Koopa Bros.

Whenever I see ¥tterbiJúm I think Yen-terbug, I know not why.
When I see Watoad, I think of a frog-type eyeless groaning cannibal thing I read about in a book.
Luigison reminds me of Luigisan.

Let me away from this boulder!

Most of the time I don't picture anything. With staff or the few people's pictures I've seen, I picture that. I didn't have a Weezer impression with Deezer (or Deez nuts for that matter) since I knew him first (but it works the opposite way). With Chupperson, I always thought of Chu (Japanese for rat) and so always thought of things like Chu Chu Rocket or or Bombchu (LoZ). Sapphira sometimes makes me think of Pokemon Sapphire. Popple makes me think of Popple the game. Watoad occasionally makes me think of Hypnotoad from Futurama though I usually just remember his fanart drawing. If somebody has a distinct avatar (not really applicable here) then I may associate it with that. Most of the time, it's not an image I get, but a feeling. Example: Using poor grammar, spelling, and punctuation constantly will give me the impression of some stupid little kid.

I used to think of a cartoon cat when I read Meowrik's name. Like, Garfield or Heathcliff or something.
Now I think of his picture.

Deezer makes me think of his mailbag picture.

MEGAß¥TE makes me think of Chewbacca from Star Wars. Absolutely no idea why.

Sapphira makes me think of a really pretty girl with long black hair.

MarlieMoo- a little girl. Like Lilo from Lilo and Stitch.

Lizard Dude-a lizard dude.

Chupperson weird- Einstein, then a big monster made of slimy gunk, then his mailbag picture.

Blackmage- his awesom paint picture. I used to think of a black mage from Final Fantasy.

Frostbite- big icy monster. Or a really thin guy with glasses.

I might be Sadib...
