Just as the title says… If you could create three alternate usernames in addition to the one you have now…what would they be? and why? Mine would be… Raptor Attack!!! (Raptors are awesome, that’s why) Naboo Ashi Tak Tak?? (I will give 1,000 points to anyone who knows why, and just saying “Star Wars” doesn’t count) BSU CHIRP CHIRP!! (An homage to the Alma Mater) ---

I hope I don’t see BANNED under the names of anyone in this thread… 😉 I did sign off as **Voix de l’Empereur** once when I was taking about French music. Not sure about the others; I definitely wouldn’t use the name I used on other sites before I changed to this one. Valete, Vox Imperatotis ---

I’m not terribly witty with the user names. \*\*Diana \*\*was taken, and so was **Artemis**. On other boards I use **wisdomy** , but that just seemed wrong for here. ---

When I named myself eponymously here it was a simpler time, when it was considered OK to do so. If I had to do it over again (in order of increasing outlandishness): **The Third Man**. A handle I do use on other, less reputable, sites. Refers to both one of my favorite movies and a fielding position where I’ve been assigned in too many cricket matches. **Khodi Whydah**. From a character I played in a historical play-by-mail game (remember those?) in high school. Actually “Omokhodi of Whydah” (a town in modern-day Nigeria) in the game. **Fiona de Villers**. From a character in a short story I wrote, in an undergraduate English class I hated immensely. Any relationship to South African cricketer Fanie de Villers is entirely coincidental. It’s possible having to explain why I took on a female pen-name might get tedious after a while. ---

**Boomalakka Wee** –after a character in one of my favorite children’s books. **Eleanor of Aquitaine** --already taken. **WinkyBox** –if you think I’m telling, you’re crazy. **Attitude Problem** –story of my life. Oops, that makes 4. I tend to think of stuff like this at odd times and then promptly forget what I thought of when I could use it. I’m sure there are many other choices I’d love to have, but I can’t think of any right now. ---

_Sower of Discord_ because I feel like the world needs a bit more chaos _Jujube_ It’s been my nom de guerre in Warcraft for years. Captures both the troll aesthetic as well as a certain playfulness. _Resonance_ Has wonderful meaning in chemistry, physics and music. All of which I enjoy.
