Seriously, though, I do. Loneraven is all very well, but when I first signed up, I was a message board virgin and didn’t realise that I could use (gasp) spaces and even (gasp gasp) punctuation!
Someone already had “Raven” which is what I usually go by, and “Loneraven” was (and still is) my livejournal user name, so I just typed it in the box.
But I’ve been here nearly a year now, and I don’t like the name, especially as everyone else seems to have cool names. I’ve lurked for most of my stay, but I’ve been posting more lately. I figured I might as well change it now while not many people know who I am. Could I have some suggestions, please?
Any variation on “Raven” would be nice, but I’m also asking for anything you think is cool. The only name I had seriously considered so far is Aziraphael, which is a name I’ve used on other message boards.
A slight ‘in-joke’ (maybe too much so). Mangetout (he who silently let his 10.000 post pass without notice) is notorious for suggesting Atomic Badger Racing as a user name, and actively pushing for it whenever a poster is considering a name change. But hey, Loneraven, if you find that name cool, don’t let me stop you.
A fiery cursor with a speed of light, a cloud of electrons, and a hearty ‘Hi-Yo, Silver!’.
The Loneraven.
“Hi Yo Silver, away!” With her faithful Indian companion Chintu, the daring and resourceful masked writer of the plains, led the fight for text and footnotes in the early classroom. Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear. The Loneraven writes again!
Sorry. I was over exposed to Clayton Moore in my youth.
Ah. Got it. Filing it away for future reference. Much thanked. Although, I do have to admit, Atomic Badger (sans Racing) is actually kinda interesting.
And yeah, I too thought along the Lone Ranger track when I see the name. Except I read
as
I’m listening to the A Shoggoth on the Roof soundtrack, and well, it just clouded my brain cell banks fer a mo.
It means I cheated. I checked your LJ just to see whether you were male or female (when I was going to end with the first “Hi Yo, Silver”) and noticed the sub-continent connection and your reference to Chintu, so I included the whole Lone Ranger opening with modifications.
