Well, it's pretty simple, my last name is Alen and I'm a girl. . .
I've used this for couple of years on various emails & sites.
I added the girl back when I first came up with it b/c I didn't
want people thinking I was a "guy" 
(no offense to the guys out there!) hee,hee, hee!
As for the atvar, I couldn't decide what I wanted and then I stumbled on to this one . . . hoping that I'll get a wedding cake order soon . . . 
Great Thread. . . 
PS: I created a thread earlier about what are everyone's favorite cake links other than Cakecentral of course! No replies yet 
Have to say I always love these threads!
My name "pooker" is from my dad. When I was a baby, my parents used to watch "Laugh-In". Somebody on there used to wave their hands and go "pookie-pookie-pookie". My dad would do that to me, and I'd laugh, so pookie became my nickname. Over time it evolved into Pooker. I am 32 and my dad STILL calls me Pooker. (Imagine that as a teenager when a boy comes over! 
)
My avatar....? I LOVE smiley faces, and thought this one was a little cute!
i am "dacaken8tr" (the cakenater) because there was an e-mail going around a couple years ago about how to keep a healthy level of insanity and i printed it off and took it to the bakery i worked in to amuse us. my best friend was having a really bad day so, at random, i read a few off to her until i got to the one that said "have everyone refer to you by your wrestling name" and she decided that would be a "good" idea. after a few minutes of thought i was dubbed the cakenater and it just stuck ... of course she was later dubbed cupcake and we became the "tag team duo the cakenater and cupcake" as for the avatar i just love the peanut m-n-m and couldn't find a baking tigger so peanut became my guy.
This is a great thread! I'm so glad I know how to say ntertaynme. I was really confused by that one.
Well, mine is Chefgirl because I am a girl and I went to chef school. I'm not chefing now, I have been somewhat confused in the last few years about what I want to do with my life. I work at a graphic design company as an office asst. now and try to do cakes and desserts for friends on the weekends. I'd like to be able to just do cakes and desserts from home when we have kids. We'll see, I'm not so confused anymore, at least.
And the oranges b/c I'm from Florida and miss the orange groves, and my homestate in general. These oranges in particular were on our wedding invitation, done by the illustrator at work.
FUN! FUN!
Momsandraven breaks down like this: 1) MOM- well, yes, that one's easy, I'm a mom of 2 little ones. 2) SAND - the meaning of our last name (Costa) is coast. Coast lines are typically sand beaches. 3) RAVEN - the meaning of my maiden name (Corbett) is Raven in Irish. If you are ever on a forum and see SandRaven, Momsandraven. or Sandraven4, that is either DH or me!
For the longest time, I used the avatar my DH and I use on other forums, a little flying black bird. But I wanted something more baking related! So, Lisa and m0use set me up with these "4-and-twenty blackbirds baked in a pie" avatars! (I have two that I switch back and forth with.) Aren't they perfect??
Fun! Just wanted to add that it was m0use that found melodyscakes the musical cake avatar. m0use, flayv and I went on an avatar gifting spree a while back that was a lot of fun.
Lisa is my name and when I joined it wasn't taken which is probably the first time that has ever happened on any site where I've registered a username. The animated cake was one I found and really liked.
I love this topic. My name was chosen for me. I took the Wilton Cake Decorating Courses to learn to decorate cakes for my grandson. I could always bake, but couldn't decorate. I would try to decorate cakes for my grandson and he would always say, that is not a boxing ring, that is not spider man. After taking the courses, I realized how much I enjoyed it. One day I was talking about starting a business when I retire. I asked him, who at the time was 4years old, what should I call my business. He said, why not call it Grandma Sweetie Pie. The rest is history. I loved this name. So, I am Grandma Sweetie Pie
So far, I have not come up with an avatar, still working on that. I have a Boyd's bear, "Grammy with Babykins:, that my sister gave me. If I see anything like that I will probably use it.
I would also like to let all of you know what a pleasure it is to have people to talk to who has the same passion. Thank you all so much.
Grandma Sweetie Pie
This is great! I am thecakemaker because at work whenever anyone needed a cake they were directed to me - the cake maker. . .
My avitar was a gift from m0use, flayv and lisa's "avitar gift giving spree". It was made from two of the cakes in my gallery.

Debbie, The Cake Maker
I noticed you are from Maryland. I live in Severna Park, about 10 miles from Annapolis.
Grandma Sweetie Pie
Wow - some of you are very creative! I was having issues w/ ntertaynme too! 
Mine is very boring - I live by the beach!
Great! Another Marylander! I'm in Harford County in the Joppa/Fallston area. We may get enough for a DOS yet!

My name came from my first name, Cindy, and "cakes" because I love to decorate cakes. I guess there was already a Cindycakes registered somewhere and the system wouldn't accept that, so I became a "Cindycakes" TOO! (2) Lisa was so nice to make my avatar, using a book because I am addicted to reading and putting a couple of my wedding cake pics in it. I love what she came up with !!!!
Yeah... A really good topic. I really couldn't think of a name. I think I took it from some other site (hehe) - and then I just happened to see a picture that fit the name. But I do love Caramel, and ice-cream makes you think of CAKE!!
Me and my husband love to entertain.
And always our friends asked me did you make that from scratch
One day they asked me again and my husband said, it's from ashianadotkom(they don't ask that question anymore, it's the same answer))My first name is ashiana.
From there one any i make is or you can get from ashianadotkom(not a real website)
I spelled com ....kom because in dutch that mean a bowl
And since i love to bake
Didn't find the perfect avatar yet.
AShiana
Mine is from my name. My first name is Misty , hence Mis, and my middle name is Dawn. So ...MisDawn.) It wouldnt let me use MistyDawn. My avatar is 1) microscopic, and 2) my logo that I use on all my cake boxes, business cards, etc. It 's purple cloud that says "Mistycal Sweets" in case anyone should try to read it without a magnifying glass.
great topic!!
My screen name came from my aunt who gave me a pink rabbit foot before I left MO for FLA to go to college. She told me pink bunnies are good luck!! 
Figure I can use a little luck and thought it was a perfect screen name....use it for everything!!
just uploaded my avatar....an awesome shadow pic of my son holding his FAV. frog toy!! one of my fav. pictures!!
Christine
THANK YOU for posting this topic because I finally know how to pronounce Ntertayneme's name! LOL I could not figure that out for the life of me. Duh.
Too funny...I couldn't figure it out for the longest time! In my mind I just saw netanyahu...as in Benjamin Netanyahu!
Sorry Cheryl! It's a cute name...I'm just a little dense sometimes!!
Ha Ha!!! I already told Cheryl this, but for the life of me I couldn't figure her screen name out so my brain adapted the pronunciation of "NEE-TER-MAIN"...I knew it didn't spell that way, but your brain finally just gives up and sees what it sees!! I was sitting at work one day a few weeks back when it just clicked - Entertain Me!! I almost fell out of my chair laughing when I PM'd her to tell her this story!!
My real name is Bettina and my dad called me Tucki-Tina when I was young. Me cousin than wrote it Tuggy. So it´s still my family´s nickname for me. My avatar is my"official" photo on my business cards, exhibition stands etc. It´s me with the "frog prince cake" and I really like the picture because it´s not so typical for businesses.
Cool topic!
Mine is also self-explanatory, I am the momma of three 27 month old girls, hence 'tripletmom'.
Lisa (aka The Avatar Queen) came up with my cute little kangaroo with 3 babes. I used to be able to carry all 3 but not now! You should my biceps though!
It's nice to get the history behind everyone's names!
My husband used to call me "sweet potato" when we first started dating. It eventually got shortened to "potato" and that's his sweet nickname for me now! I've always said I'll know the marriage is over if he stops calling me "potato"! The "cakes" part is just to relate it to the website! Right now, I don't have an avatar. I did have a pic of my three boys (ages 7, 3 and 8 months) up, but I took it down because I'm just not comfortable having their pic on the internet. I'm hoping to find something cake-related when I get a chance to look around a bit!
Nice to "meet" everyone!
This is a great topic!
I am always greatful for the chance to explain my name. I am not creative. Hence, the first part of my first name, Cyndi, and the first part of my last name, Bourgault.
As for the avatar, I couldn't upload the one picture that I had so I picked this out of what was available.
While laying in bed unable to sleep one night I came up with JP Desserts. My initals are J.P. My solgan is "Just Perfect" It's amazing how everyone comes up with their names!
I'm sitting here reading all the responses and laughing in between trying to get some things off my desk at work before the weekend... LOL ... what a great topic this has been .. and let me say this, I had to do some creative phonics to get my name.. I bet I tried spelling it about 10 different ways before I came up with this one ... and my daughter did the same thing and asked me what the heck is meant .. she started laughing when I told her and said "only you would think of something like that mother"
My name is Rhiannon and in high school my friends would call me Ren for short. I am also a girl, so I added that in there and I was born in 1978.
I am so glad you started this topic !! It has been great reading everything!! Well, my name is Charlotte and my dad used to call me Charlie (which in school was also sometimes changed to Chuck!) and I live in Missouri. Now I pretty much will answer to anything My avatar is because my daughter LOVES volleyball and we spend a lot of time doing volleyball "things". And thanks to Lisa for helping find it!!
