Tinkerbell is little-girl cute and a bit twee on a grown woman (and besides, the Disney character Tinkerbell is a vindictive, horrible little person who worried that her bum was getting fat).</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-change-my-forum-name-to-tinkerbell#post-1533089 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 15:23:56 +0000 unfrumped 1533089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe something involving water, which can have strong but calm connotations, movement. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-change-my-forum-name-to-tinkerbell#post-1533077 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 15:10:30 +0000 Mochi 1533077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I much prefer Hummingbird.

It does not seem to fit your "voice". <br />But, is there a related (bird?&nbsp; good fairy-like mythical person?) that has some of those qualities? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-change-my-forum-name-to-tinkerbell#post-1531908 Sun, 02 Aug 2015 15:44:12 +0000 annagybe 1531908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really don't like Tinkerbell, it reminds a bit too much of the Manic Pixie Dream Girl trope. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-change-my-forum-name-to-tinkerbell#post-1531839 Sun, 02 Aug 2015 12:42:35 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1531839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You appear delicate but have strength and to me that is a hummingbird. &nbsp;So tiny and yet so strong. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-change-my-forum-name-to-tinkerbell#post-1531813 Sun, 02 Aug 2015 10:17:22 +0000 Staysfit 1531813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Firecracker, my brother was also born July 4th and gets called "firecracker" by our mother! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-change-my-forum-name-to-tinkerbell#post-1531747 Sun, 02 Aug 2015 04:21:09 +0000 SandyG 1531747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love hummingbird for its delicate/strong dichotomy -- just like you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-change-my-forum-name-to-tinkerbell#post-1531713 Sun, 02 Aug 2015 02:54:42 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1531713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hummingbirds seem magical to me, too. They are amazing, anyway. I'm all for choosing a name that inspires you. <br />I'm not sure how well Firecracker suits me, but it's something people have always said to me-- "Oh, you're a firecracker!"--when they discovered my birthday is July 4. <br />Firecracker, the actual object, is not something I'm fond of at all. In fact I find them pointless. But I do like the idea of sparkiness that the word might convey. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-change-my-forum-name-to-tinkerbell#post-1531669 Sun, 02 Aug 2015 01:14:25 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1531669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I still like Tinkerbell, because I like the idea that you convey magic.

Or something light and feathery. I'm biased, though - my Yiddish name is Faigey (bird) and my Hebrew name is Zipporah (same thing). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-change-my-forum-name-to-tinkerbell#post-1531589 Sat, 01 Aug 2015 22:48:21 +0000 Staysfit 1531589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ummlila and Cheryle (Dianthus) have me thinking about changing my forum name to Tinkerbell. </p> <p>I often get compared to flying or winged creatures by the teenagers I work with. In my recent WIW post, I recounted how an adolescent told me that I looked like a fairy and helped him to feel better. I have also been compared to a wise owl, and a hummingbird. Perhaps I have some bird like qualities? :-)</p> <p>When I first joined the forum, I did a mood board and included a hummingbird as something that I thought represented my style. Interesting that the teenagers can pick up on it right? There is a certain lightness, translucence, and movement that I like in the garments that I wear, and the long cardigan I had on the day I was referred to as a helpful fairy had those qualities.</p> <p>So, perhaps Tinkerbell or even Hummingbird (is that name taken? I think it may be.). would better reflect my style persona on the forum. </p> <p>What do you think? </p>
