I think it's such a negative sounding username! hee hee just kidding. I actually like it, regardless of what it may mean to you. I think it just sort of rolls off the tongue really well. When I first saw it, it made me think of the south.....

What Do You Think Of My Username?

I like it!!!! It definitely didn't give me any negative vibes at all - I was certainly curious about the name and knew there'd be an interesting story behind it.
It's definitely more memorable than a lot of other usernames on here. Not that I see ANYONE'S username as "bad", look how plain mine is!! But I get confused about who's who sometimes if there's a bunch of similar people.

I love it, its very creative and you avatar of Kodaju gives it real edge.
P.S the U is dropped off in the subtitle for some reason. Japanese is always vowel-syllable or syllable- vowel.

No negative .. just unique
When I first noticed you, I checked your location to find out what swamp you were living in.
Canada? Must be a chilly one!
Then I noticed that your avatar was always changing, yet always remaining the same -- understated grey images of a very serious-looking woman in a bleak and isolated place that bore no resemblance whatsoever to a swamp. Hmmmm.
I soon realized that your taglines changed, as well -- usually vivid yet impenetrable phrases. I suspected that if I were to save them all, they would read in sequence as poetry, but I never got around to starting that project.
I wondered whether the "witch" part was meant to be taken literally, and if so, whether you were (in the immortal words of Billie Burke) "a Good Witch or a Bad Witch." I thought that over a bit and reasoned, Since she lives in the West, she must be a Wicked Witch.
No, I didn't! Nonono.
No, I just figured, "With a name like SwampWitch, she has to be good."
Anyway, now that I know you, I can see that you're very different from the initial impression I got from your username! And I've always been curious about its origin... any chance you'll tell?

I was noticing all the same sort of things, except I envisioned the pictures zooming out to a foggy swampy sort of area, still in black and white. I like the name it's intriguing. It definitely sparks my imagination, especially combined with your ever-changing avitars.Originally Posted by CarolPetunia

Perhaps your name would repel the same crowd who would shun Harry Potter cause it supposedly promotes witchcraft...
If someone is immediately repelled by it then you probably don't want to be talking to that person anyway!Originally Posted by SwampWitch
Thanks for the comments and votes, everyone! I just don't want to immediately repel because of my username. I want to have time to do that on my own.
I really didn't have any opinion when I first saw it. It just reminded me of my best friend in high school. She was into the fantasy type stuff and that is the image I had of SwampWitch.
I do see where it can cause a stronger reaction than something like "HelloKitty". But then you are a strong person and "HelloKitty" just wouldn't do you justice.

When I first saw it, it brought to mind spanish moss, mist and mystery. I was intrigued. And, it's definitely memorable! I like it!
i love it! i wish i had been cretive enuf to come up with a name like that b/c, lets face it, there are prolly like 5000 members here named 'catgirl' this or 'kitties' that, lol.

I happen to think it's great - and I love why you chose it. (You told me at one point.)
I think that the most important thing, though, is how YOU feel about it.

Hi ya!
I voted for the firts item!...
I think you have a great nick!, is creative and prettie Dark
maybe this goes with your Respectable personality my friend, and we should to respect the own personality of everyone!
So you don´t
feel bad is someone tell you that is scary of else, feel free to express as you are of course respecting at each others!
Have a nice day!
No matter how we call us, the important is what you have in your heart and how you share it with all people!....I believe that!...

I totally agree with those that said it is a memorable and original name, although I will admit I thought you lived in the Everglades or something
My very first thought was that you were a Wicca. Which isn't an issue for me, afterall my mother-in-law is a Wicca. Yep, my mother-in-law is a witch! I always laugh at that joke! My husband never laughes at my jokes, especially when they involve his mother!
It's a perfectly fine name. If it stops representing who you are, then stop using it. Otherwise, as many others have said "be who you are"
I have chosen a name that commemorates my cat's soft squishy tummy, I hope no one holds that against me, but I get a warm fuzzy when I think about her belly

I didn't think anything positive or negative about it. I did wonder if you lived in a swamp though.
I don't usually think too much about user names on boards. It would have to be pretty offensive for me to be bothered by it.

My entire family is pagan, so I just assumed you were Wiccan. I'd have felt a bit silly if that had turned out to be wrong!
I think the 'Swamp' part of it must have eclipsed (in my mind at least!) the information that you were in Canada though, I was imagining you somewhere a bit more southerly!
