I just thought it would be nice to make a little announcement. Thanks to the supreme kindness of TubaDiva, I have now had my name changed. But I’m not a stranger.
Hi everybody!
Ya know, you can change your username all you want, your secret santa will still find you!! (Just ignore the now obsolete tag on the gift. 
) Merry Christmas. Your gift is on it’s way!
So what’s the background on this new name?
Yeah, I like the Elenia tag myself. Details, woman! (Please?)
I changed the Elenia tag because I’ve been using the name Elenia online since I was 17. I am now 29! I thought it was about time for a change, at least on this board.
I think I will wait a while before I tell what Anaamika means; some people may already know though. 
I think you did it just to meet the welcoming comittee again.
At least you know to bring your own calamari.
So, you’re a fan of a White Sox fan?
Welcome, Anaamika – we still get to do disgusting things with the goat and take photos, right?
Eew. Sports + weird Indian man, just the right combination.
And I didn’t just bring the calamari, I brought drinks! A keg of some (checks label) yup, some unidentified beer for the beer drinkers, and some fine honey mead for the rest of us.
Come on in!
Welcome to the SDMB, again.
Anaamika, you lovely sweet thing, I believe I will.
also brings pie. and chocolate, and nice desserts
Umm, that’s not a denial…
Sorry, you did not pick a name from the LURKERS and Poorly Named Dopers thread.
Unless your user name is some kind of Indian Goddess of Vengeful destruction is there any other kind? it will fade away into the corners of my mind.
won’t someone think of the short attention span dop…ooooh …shiny penny!
Gesundheit.
Absolutely not. You do that, everyone will be changing their names all the time and we’ll have chaos! CHAOS, I tell you! It will not be countenanced!!
Ok, let’s make it a little clearer.
EEEEEWWWWWWW gross nasty Indian man who’s into SPORTS of all the horrid things in the world!*
*the reason why, see, is my downstairs neighbor, who is Indian and somewhat F.O.B., seems to be STALKING me - only slightly, but still.
Hey now. Do I go making fun of your username?
Methinks the lady doth vent too much…
As I recall, you are not Indian, yes?
Aren’t you the cute one? Beard or no beard?
(just making sure I’m not offending the very person I’m talking to…that would be just my luck).
I missed this the first time, but of course there are! My legal name is the name of a river goddess, and I don’t think she exacts vengeful destruction.
Well, then again, I love sushi and shellfish, so I uess I’d better stay away from rivers for a while. Might be tough, seeing as how I live practically on the Hudson.
