There at least used to be a **Erika** which drove me bonkers. (At the time I recall seeing her, I didn’t post much so I doubt that others confused us.) But not only do Erika and Eureka look much too much alike, the similarity of the words is where I got my nickname (and screen name). ---

There’s a **Dag Otto** and I think there’s an **OttoErotic** as well. ---

> [@rolandgunslinger](#): > > Glad I’m the only rolandgunslinger here 😃 But not the only **Roland**. You and I both have a reasonable claim on that particular moniker, but that accursed **Deschain** outdoes both of us combined. To that end, I believe a conspiracy is in order. With your gunslinging, and my…um…impersonation of a musician nobody likes anymore, together we can surely defeat Mssr. Deschain and force him, at gun- or guitar-point (hey, I sharpen _mine_; doesn’t everybody?) into a name change. After that, of course, we’ll have to turn upon each other. 'Tis a battle I’m sure our fellow Dopers will await with bated breath. ---

Sorry, **Zebra** - I have used this name for many years before coming here and have felt bad since I first saw your name. Took so long to apologize for the coincidence because I am, in fact, avoiding you… As for my choices, the all-caps S kids confuse me to no end. In my mind atleast, SHAKES and START are mutually exclusive posters. ---

> [@Guy Incognito](#): > > I was just glancing through the General Questions threads when I noticed a posting that appeared to be created under my member name. On closer examination I noticed that the user’s name was actually “Guy\_Incognito” instead of “Guy Incognito”. Apparently this other “Guy” has been on the board since last June, so I must have missed his prior postings. Anyway, greetings “brother”! Oh my God! Those two posters have similar user names! _ **OH MY GOD!!!** _ That dog has a puffy tail! Here, puff! Here, puff… ---

I lurked for a long time (over a year) before I finally registered, and I didn’t remember seeing any users with names too similar to mine, so I thought it was safe. Then later I startred noticing posts by [url=http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/member.php?userid=22316]Wearia[/ur]. Apparently I joined only five days after him/her. But they’re a more prolific poster (1,154 posts to my 348). ---

Hell, I used to confuse myself with **jarbabyj**. I’d see a posting by her and think, “That doesn’t look familiar…when did I post that?” Of course, she was on here long before I was. ---

I don’t know if people confuse me with **JayElle** , I hope not. She’s very lovely but we’re very different. ---
