Just looking around for [Max Carnage](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/member.php?find=lastposter&t=267494)’s thread about 24, and I found this thread. Well, time to get it off the slab and see if I can make it dance. Ahem: Someone named Scott posts here. I recall saying thing funny at the time, when we met. According to the [search engine](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/search.php?searchid=783621) however, there is one heck of a lot of posters I have never met, all with variations on the name “Scott” **Behold** : Posts Made By: ChiefScott or scott529 or Scott E. or scottym or MrSCOTT or Scotty or AtlantaScott or Scott123 or Scott Murphy or Scott M or ScottyMo or scottsimon or Scott the Deviant or Scotticher or Remus or Scott C.

I got curious, so I looked up **harmless**. Apparently there’s a poster out there going by **Mostly Harmless**. Maybe I should change my sig to avoid confusion. Of course, **Mostly Harmless** has all of 9 posts, 8 of them in Great Debates, and hasn’t been on the boards since 06-05-2003 so that might not be such a big risk. 😃 ---

I’m sure people have me and dangermom confused. Sometimes I get confused. Both moms, both readers (I think she’s more literary than I am - former librarian), I think we are approximately the same age, both are married to people who post here, we even have similar posting dates and post counts. Then I remember I’m not LDS. ---

> [@Shayna](#): > > [Not anymore](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/member.php?username=kaitlyn). Yeah, I briefly considered changing my name after that happened. But I _like_ my completely unoriginal, uninteresting user name, and I think I’d quickly grow dissatistifed with anything else. ---

> [@](#): > > 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. Yeah, I do. I used to follow **Kal’s** posts a lot, and sometimes I see your name and get confused. **Roland Orzabal** – I figured your name was some kind of reference, but didn’t know what, until yesterday I heard it on VH1 in an “I love the [something’s] show.” I had an “Aha!” moment (no, not the poster **aha** , just a general “Aha!”) when I realized that that had to be the source of your name. There used to be a **Vinnie Virginslayer** around (kind of scared me :dubious: ) but I’m pretty sure I’m the only **Spoiler** here. ---

There’s not much chance of anybody having **Nunavut** in their name. Seeing as I’m the only one up here with an internet connection. Just kidding. I’m probably the only one up here with a computer! Just kidding again. But it is hard to keep the damn thing dry when my igloo is dripping all over it… Ok, I’m done. 😃 ---

> [@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”! > > Does anybody else on this board have a member name that closely resembles another member’s? If so, has it caused any complications or problems for you on the SDMB? Sorry for the bump, but I can’t believe I missed this thread. I had no idea I had co-opted someone’s username. How sorta cool but mostly kinda embarrassing. It was completely unintentional, though; for simplicity’s (read: unoriginality’s) sake, I used my [juno.com](http://juno.com) (worst email provider ever) username - guy\_incognito - which I’ve had since 1996, as my SDMB ID. Of course, it’s a Simpsons reference. ---
