> [@Tikki](#): > > I’ve always used **Tikki** in my user name. Lately, I’ve been using **TikkiFinn** on a few other sites. So if I had to, I’d switch to that, which I think would be cool since there’s already a **Denny\_Finn** here. I feel as if we’re related in a cousins-umpteen-times-removed sort of way. There is also a Finn and a FinnAgain on the board as active posters. > [@Speaker for the Dead](#): > > I’d probably call myself **Jacky Paper**. He’s the little boy from _Puff the Magic Dragon_ who grows up, and I like how the name sounds. I love that, it was probably my favorite song as a kid and it is both my kids favorite song. On road trips they could be fighting the way only a 5 & 8 years can be fighting and I play Puff and the fight ends and they both start singing and when it ends “Again, again” Jim ---

If I ever change my user name it will become **Atomic Toast Museum**. I wonder if anyone likes my current name. I don’t post here very often, so I imagine I’m not too familiar to most of you. ---

**The God whose mention of his name means death** Might wreak havoc on the board though. Besides…it’s to long. ---

Since **“Husbandofshewhomustbeobeyed”** is probably too long and my wife probably wouldn’t get, I’d probably use it’s **simplydavid** for my username. Peace - DESK ---

I have often thought about chanign it to John Jacob Jingle Heimer Schmidt. Whenever someone asks “What should I name my \_\_\_\_\_\_\_” (let us say dog for instance) I always make the same lame joke: Just don’t name him John Jacob Jingle Heimer Schmidt. That’s my name. And I’m rediculously disappointed if someone else doesn’t stop by the thread to say: Hey, that’s my name too. So I would change it to John Jacob Jingle Heimer Schmidt, just to entertain me.
