Henceforth, I will be known as **Kent Clark** formerly\*\* kunilou\*\*. A little background. Kunilou was the very first email address I had. Even when I joined here 20 years ago, I was changing over to a different address. As you can see from my avatar, I’ve always been a Superman fan. When I was young I had dark hair and horn-rim glasses and always hoped I looked more like[this than [URL=“https://www.slantmagazine.com/film/the-nutty-professor/”]this.](http://www.coverbrowser.com/image/new-adventures-of-superboy/24-1.jpg) We’re all friends here. Call me Kent, or even better, Mr. Kent. ---

Kent… Kent… Kent Clark… I like it. Kunilou always had a sort of mixed “mind feel” to me, sort of Hawaiian, and sort of dirty jokeish at the same time, always wondered at the origin of that name. Greetings Kent Clark, sweet parting salutations kunilou ---

> [@snfaulkner](#): > > Comics? No. I have seen movie 1 and 2…and maybe 3? But those were long ago. So I admit I could be being wooshed. In ye olden days cub reporter Jimmy Olsen always called Clark, “Mr. Kent,” as in, “Jeepers Mr Kent!” > [@Darren\_Garrison](#): > > Goodbye kunilou hello Clark. > > (Would have worked much better in the other direction.) I had several conversations with TubaDiva over which usernames would be kindest to our already stressed database. This was the one that seemed to be the best for everyone. I’m very fond of **kunilou** myself, but his (and some people still think it’s hers) time has come and gone. I’m much happier with a hip name based on a comic book character from 1938. 🙂 ---

I’m not understanding why Kent Clark and not Clark Kent. Do you find the lack of phone booths to be a problem? [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/announcing-my-brand-new-user-name/834138.md?page=2)
