Hey mods! Can I change my name to “S”? Or perhaps to “SSSSogre”? By the way, speaking of lemurs, what’s a word for “Asiatic lemur,” beginning with “LOR”? Don’t remember how many letters, but that crossword puzzle clue is a real thorn in my side. ---

sred\_dragon60 has a nice ring to it. But what happens if sled\_dragon60 registers? ---

And how many other "k"s do you people know, hmm? If we’re talking confusion, let us not forget: [**MsRobyn** and **msmith**](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?postid=1385977#post1385977) **MC** , **MGibson** and **MEBuckner** (“M” off!) **FireUnderpantsBoobs** and **🙂** Alright, I made that last confusion up. pan ---

Are they both pronounced “maudlin”? Maybe that’s the problem. (And, no, I don’t propose to become **teve Wright** merely to gratify an arboreal primate.) ---

Nobody ever objects to _my_ name. But, then, I **am** a Universally Beloved Figure, second only to Unca Cecil in all of your affections. I’d say **Opal** was second in affection, but **Opal** is always mentioned third. [sub]Hi **Opal**![/sub] 😃 ---

Well, I am not about to become Tella\*Fantaia (or could I keep the second S?) Vladimir Nabokov made up my name, & I don’t have the hubris to suggest that I could improve upon the master’s work. You can tell me apart because I have a big old asterisk. Nobody else has an asterisk quite like mine. 😃 ---

That’s it: I’d like to change my name to **SnowThinker**. As for Dopers with similar names, I’m always getting confused by **SPOOFE** and **SPOOFE BO Diddly** and don’t even get me started on **Spritle** and **spritle**! ---

You can email TubaDiva: [tubadiva@aol.com](mailto:tubadiva@aol.com) . The name will change on all of your old posts and you will keep your post count. I should note that it is a Bad Idea to just register with a new name.
