The Official "I Changed My Name & Now Nobody Knows Who I Am Anymore" Thread

I always leave Coyote in my name somewhere, but some name changes have me thrown because I know I should know who they are (*cough* Tony *cough* Dennis), but I don't know if they are who I think they are.

Translations, please? Sort of a rosetta stone for deciphering names?

Nine times out of ten, I have Fett or my real name in there, but you can always tell by my location.

If I had any other names, I don't remember them. For some reason, the name Leonard Shelby comes to mind. If I ever change my id, I will become Alan Smithee, noted director.

Post of the day wink

I need to photoshop a tortise shell kitten, in old-style red PJs, with a button-down bum-flap for the tail to stick out.

(You know, the tail? Cats have....nevermind....)

I always try and fit my name in there somewhere. My recent string of names is inspired by Warren Zevon songs, which I will change once a week until he passes, and then maybe longer...

I toyed with the idea of going back to an old nick-name of mine, but I think I'll just stay with cart00n, or, at least, with something that continues to feature cart00n in it. However, I'm pretty new around here anyway, so you might not even have noticed me...

I did the name change thing for a while, but I got bored of it around the time the whole "Oooo! I'm going to put a Star Wars reference in my name/sig!" virus spread itself around. What a nasty little bastard that thing was.

Although I'm slightly excused from that being that I've always had a Star Wars name/sig from day one.

Ok, spill the story of where the name came FROM. Even if it's "I got a card one day with a kitten in PJs, liked it, and used that."

Heh, you'd think it would be mysterious and exciting, huh? Wrong.

My daddy always called me kitty, even though my given name is Michelle. It stuck. My siblings hardly ever call me by my given name. I don't think my little sister even knew my name until she was around nine.

The jammies part is because for a span of a year, I worked from home, and the running joke was that every time someone talked to me on the computer, I was in jammies (pajamas).

There you have it. kittyinjammies.

Do you not have the option to nix the name changing or are you not decided on it?

I think if you gave people a 2 week period to finalize their names, that would be cool...I've changed my name twice thus far and it's already getting old to me...

Back to flyers I go...

Don't, it's fun....I think it's cool to change names based on movies/things we like.

But hey, you're the boss....

I used to be Adam Warren. Ending the name change business can't hurt. Not being very creative with names, I feel like the guy who always wears different novelty ties when I fuck with my moniker.

He is quite right. I own the copyright to the number '86'. Thank you for the royalties. I also own the uppercase letter 'B'.

I don't like all of the name-changing either.

Unless you keep some aspect of your screenname intact, when you change it all the time it becomes tedious to try and figure out who everybody is.

I really don't like this fad. It's not funny, in fact most of the time it's embarassing. I gave my opinion on this before, <a href="http://chud.nexcess.net/board/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=6&t=000153" target="_blank">here</a>.

If you extend your name to something long, like say yaddle_the_unstoppable_sex_machine, it very often stretches out the margins of all the posts in the thread, and makes reading them more irritating. Everyone else has to suffer while you pat yourself on the back for being so smart and witty.

It'd be nice to kill off "Darth Algar", especially since I discovered that Wayne's World 2 really isn't that good a movie. I could just register a new and better username, but in doing so would lose any (if any) reputation/respect my name and opinions have gained on this board.

The only time I gave in to the name changing craze was when I saw Dog Soldiers. I changed my signature to "Dog Soldier, formerly Darth Algar".

And don't get me started on the ones who clog up threads with "picture posts"...
