Let's see now. My Jayhawks won the NCAA basketball championship, in football we won the Orange Bowl, and last week we crushed the dreams of every Missouri Methhead out there by beating them in the final seconds on a fourth and seven 26 yard touchdown pass.

I'd say I'm pretty happy with my username. Very Happy

my username is my baiting name, except im only using the first letter of the first name..i dont know where i got my name from it was just a random name i thought of Rolling Eyes

Posted: Thu Dec 04, 2008 7:23 pm

I like my username, actually. Smile

But if I were to change it, I'd probably go for something like Menolly or Ramoth. (Anne McCaffrey fans will get the idea.)

For a while my user name here was "Incontinentia Buttox" after a fun (read- drunken) night here April 1st, 2 years ago. A Mod, I think Lotta, was kind enough to change it back in the morning. Very Happy

That is one of my all time favourite comedy moments! Where the centaurians are trying not to laugh at the name 'Incontinentia Buttocks' Laughing

I always preferred "We found......a spoon".

No, my username and its cookie eating avatar are perfect for me.

Edit: I did have one problem with it when I first joined. The captcha was defeating me and i forgot to capitalise my name when I asked for a mod to help.

Ive had 3 different ones on 4 separate occasions .... started with a shit one, changed to the cool one I have now, changed it again to protect my ID, then changed it back when the fuss died down.

any increase on 3 usernames ?

I used it in one of my first baits and thought it was appropriate when I signed up here.

Wait a second. I just got it.

YOU WANT FRIES WITH THAT!!!

That's cool. Laughing

A little slow there, NN! Laughing

Then there were my other characters in that old bait, some of whom I still use regularly: Sue P3rcise, Mack Nugh3tte, Pete Sahutt, Jack N.D. Bachs, and of course Harlan Sanders.

I'll regret my choice if I ever read that the actor David Neilson is visiting Nigeria.

Best he doesn't tell everyone he's known around the world as Roy Cr0pper. Shocked

Sorry to drag this back towards the OP's topic a second, but I once worked in an IT department of a company when networking was uncommon but phasing in. It was still the done thing back then to have (upto) 8 character usernames, but naming conventions were still in flux. These would usually become your email alias too, so they would be very commonly known. The sysadmin decided we would use the first 6 characters of the surname, followed by upto 2 initials. He didn't realise the implications until too late. He was Peter Cochran, you pronounced his username 'cockcrap'. Beautiful Smile

ManBitesLion is, surprisingly, unrelated to any of my usernames out in the wild just for extra misdirection, but I do like it Smile

i signed in as me. but some kind mod told me where i was and that i could be traced.

so i changed it to drew.

i`ve always baited safe, as steve bennet, arch stanton... etc.
drew.

@ Titania: If I ever get round to doing a dolla chop, I'm going to name the chopper Fax Very Happy

I plucked my name out of the random words floating around in my head. I've always like the name Meridian, and I have no idea where Alicante came from.

It's radically different from the usual name that I use, which is for the best, though it get confusing sometimes, trying to remember who I'm writing as Razz

I very nearly went with a dragon name as well. The "use a different nickname to what you ususally use" instruction had me stumped so I looked out of the window and the first thing I saw was

So I picked her name. Quite like it actually.

Been here for nearly three years but if I was signing up now I’d probably use the name “Reverend Bondi Cigars”. It’s a name I came up with after I’d been baiting for a while and has evolved into one of my main characters, and might be more appropriate now as a username here. No real regrets, but if there’s anyone out there with the power to make it happen…..

Bondi cigars is a very good reason not to swim at Bondi, I haven't been there in 20 years now but apparently the sewerage outlet is much further out now and the "cigars" are not such a problem now Laughing

^^^ Yeah, back around 1985 if the wind and tide were against you it almost guaranteed a close encounter. A lot of visitors were getting hospitalised after spending too long in the water, and the place was getting such a bad name the state government was eventually shamed into doing something. These days with all the murk being pumped well off-shore the cigars are mainly a problem only if you happen to be a shark or a barracuda.

Posted: Fri Dec 05, 2008 12:06 pm

1985 happens to be the year I was last there, even though I worked at Bondi a few years ago, I still ddin't find the need to go to the beach Laughing

Woohoo

Thanks Juan. Laughing

Posted: Fri Dec 05, 2008 2:29 pm

^I'm waiting for mine to go through

can't wait to get rid of the current one

Thanks Juan - I feel more at home now Very Happy

Apparently this was a timely thread. Very Happy

I've noticed a number of changes in user names since it began. Laughing
