Dopers you get confused

How many of you can’t keep your fellow dopers straight in your head? I’ll be the first to admit it’s my fault, for not paying enough attention, but for some reason, there are some I just always confuse with others, even tho they can be very, very different. For instance, I’m always getting Fenris confused with Esprix. or kellibelli with Andygirl. Again, I don’t mean to cast aspersions on the dopers I’ve named, it’s my bad, I have a hardware short circuit in my head that makes me mix them up. Perhaps I’d remember them better as individuals if they had interesting diseases.

Anyone else have this trouble?

I don’t really mix the names up, I just tend to read them wrong. For example, Qadgop the Mercotan, to me, is pronounced something like “Quagdop the Mercotian”. Don’t ask me why. Oh, and for the past few months, I read “CrankyAsAnOldMan” as “CrankyAssOldMan”.
[sub]Ah well, at least it’ll pad my post count

For some reason, I confuse javaman with myself and I always get confused when I see his name, and I think, “I didn’t post to this…”

I used to get Demo and Doob confused a LOT. Could never keep them straight. Then someone pointed out that Demo was gay and it’s been ok since then.

:wink:

Well, there’s this guy Hiryuu, and…

Oh. Wait.
This isn’t the “Dopers you get confused by” thread.

I won’t even begin with the names I get confused, because there are just way too many of them. Suffice it to say that if two dopers have names that begin with the same two or three letters, chances are that I will confuse them at one time or another.

Hey, Qadgop the Mercotan, looks like you’re pretty safe there! (Now I’m waiting for tons of people who have usernames beginning with “Qa” to come and post here :slight_smile: )

lel, who often confuses herself with ell.

spoofe and spooje.

i thought they were the same person for the longest time…

I’ve been confused for both matt_mcl and SqrlCub. Being confused for Fenris honors me.

Esprix

Fenris is taller

I’m always confusing Fenris with Ferrous.

And like JavaMaven1, I can confuse myself–I’ve been known to read Spoonbender’s posts, and think, “I don’t remember posting this…”

Great! Now we have spoons, spooje and spoof.
Who’s next, spook?

I used to get jarbabyj and uh, that other j person confused.

jarbabyj and jayjay - I’ve gotten them confused too.

I am flattered, albeit somewhat puzzled, by the association. :wink:

Andy and andyman are both posters here, but I think we might be a bit hard to confuse.

I often get mixed up between Fenris and fenrir and FairyChatMom and FairyPrincessKitty.

My turn to be flattered.

…Though I guess you just mean the similarity of our names, rather than our posting styles. Oh well, I’ll work on it.

UncleBeer, Ukelele Ike, and UncleBill. Damn alliteration!

For some reason I always think Zenster is Jester. Weird, because I’ve met Jester IRL once. And I agree with the UncleBeer/UncleBill connection.

[grumpy old man]
All you posters look alike, dag-nabbit!

We do have MFS and the S stands for “Spork”.

Just a little trivia about a fellow doper, you’ve probably never heard of.

I always get Searching for Truth and Speaker for the Dead mixed up. And I agree with TheOtherOne - to me, your name is pronounced Quagdop the Mercodian.

Don’t forget spoke-.

Well, I’m puzzled by it too, andygirl. It just shows my neuronal circuitry is tied neither to linearity or onomatopoeia.
