Actually I think that’s kinda lame. If I were choosing my name and found “Max Carnage” was already taken, I wouldn’t throw a \_ or . in there to make it work. Someone apparently has already thought of that clever name. Leave it be and pick again. It’s a wonder I don’t yell at more people on City Of Heroes. ---

BTW, excellent use of a \*Princess Bride \* quote to point out my mistake regarding the previous quote! You’re a crafty one, I’ll give you that… 🙂 ---

> [@Scarlett67](#): > > A little while back we had a **Scarlet** and a **Dr. Scarlett** posting. Haven’t seen them lately, though. You might have seen **Dr. Scarlett** – she changed her username to **Red Stilettos**. I remember posting in a limerick thread that featured contributions from **Spider Woman** and **Spyder\_Woman** (not sure if I got either name punctuationally correct). Neither could ever be confused with **Sanguine Spider** , who apparently hasn’t posted in a while… ☹ ---

There’s a Katt and a Kal that I confused with myself sometimes, but I don’t know if other people confuse them with me or me with them. ---

Just to add to the list, we had a **Truth Seeker** and a **Truth\_Seeker**. I’m not sure which came first, but I think the newcomer changed his/her name after the original posted a thread about it. ---

There is **Mangetout** and **Mangeorge**. One eats peas, the other eats…barley. Yes, I know the etymoligies are different. ---

You folks are all so patient! There was a **jackalope** who registered a couple years ago, and I foresaw confusion\* and wrote to the mods. They contacted her and she agreed to change her username. \*Well, actually another Doper, who has herself had a change of username in the last few years and who sends totally cool postcards, noticed the similar names and e-mailed me about it. ---

I remember seeing a **Hugh Manatee** a while back, but they seem to have disappeared, and I don’t post too much, so I doubt that there was any confusion. ---

[QUOTE=jackelope] You folks are all so patient! There was a **jackalope** who registered a couple years ago, and I foresaw confusion\* and wrote to the mods.

I guess things will be okay as long as my twin and I don’t post anything that might cause embarrassment to the other. It’s funny that it took me this long to notice the other “Guy”.

**Gundy** doesn’t seem to post here anymore, but I still see her (her, right?) name around every once in a while and think someone’s being familiar with me. And then I realize they’re not, and that’s kind of sad, really.
