After reading [this post](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=6992709&postcount=24) in the most recent thread about the origin of usernames over in MPSIMS, I have the uncontrollable urge to change my username, which was only something I threw in when my first choice was taken. So, I know what I want, but it’s a choice between the Greek version or the Roman: Peitho (Greek) or Suadela (Roman) Either way, the names are derived from classical mythology: the goddess of persuasion/seduction. Sometimes said to be daughter of Aphrodite and Hermes. Yep, that’s what I want to be known as around here. So - which version? ---

Suadela sounds like the goddess of Naugahyde. Dunno if you consider that a bad thing or not. ---

**Suadela**. It looks feminine whereas \*\*Peitho \*\* seems masculine. ---

I’d go with Suadela, even though it sounds like litigation toward Fred Astaire’s sister. (sue Adela) ---

I think I started something. I like **Suadela** better. Less gender confusion and you could always be nicknamed Sue or Della. So wouldn’t this make you just another aspect of Venus or Cythera or Kythereia? I might be wrong. My 4 years of latin was over 20 years ago. Jim ---

> [@Giraffe](#): > > Dude! I go to all the trouble to rig your username survey so you have to stay **jrfranchi** and then you change it anyway? What kind of democracy is that? I submitted the 3 top choices to **Tuba Diva** , and listed \*\*JRFranchi \*\* first but I said if there is any problems making a change that is only caps please go with the second choice. Thus I am **What Exit?** , I’ll admit to likng it better anyway, so I am thankful to **Tuba**. Jim ---

I like **Peitho** much better than the other. Sounds much more pleasant when you say it. Hey, Jim, congrats on the name change. I like it. ---

Well, I suppose you **could** pay me Tuesday for a hamburger today. It would be so much nicer if you’d just **Peitho.**
