10 choices, I will abide by the vote. If the winning is not available I will take the 2nd and then 3rd choice.  
[The choices are suggestions from this thread.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=6988182#post6988182)

\*\*1. Jersey Poster Child  
2. Reverend Jim  
3. Jim Elf-Friend  
4. Prophet of the FSM  
5. BaseBalrog  
6. What exit?  
7. Global Worming  
8. Jim of the Shire  
9. Joisey Jim  
10. JRFranchi \*\* (a few asked me to retain this, I will just ask for some capitol letters)

If you wish to vote for 3 choices in order I will weight the results with a 1 or only worth 3 points and a 2 worth 2 and a 3 worth 1.

Thank you  
Jim

I started this whole action with permission from **Tuba Diva** , but I didn’t verify the starting of this thread as a second part, hopefully it is okay and in the proper forum as this is basically a poll at this point.

I would vote for “JRFranchi”, maybe with the addition of “The Shire, exit ###” to replace your location?

My gut says stay with what you’re known as if nothing reaches out and grabs you by the throat and says, “THIS ONE!” 😃

Cheers,

**Global Worming** is the least worst.

#4, of course, but I also really liked **MiddleEarthWorm Jim**. (I think **Ponder** suggested that one.)

Even though I’m the guy who suggested it, **Joisey Jim** is just… OK. Color me underwhelmed. If these ten are my only options, I’d say go with **JRFranchi** and have done with it.

I will resist the temptation to try to write in **sans-culottes** and vote for:

**1. What Exit?  
2. jrfranchi  
3. Reverend Jim**

All right, I can see you’re serious. I’ll go with **What Exit?** , for its Jersey/Sartrean flavor.

I say go with number 10. I’m use to your user name. Changing it would only confuse me and then I’d never know if it’s you or not. You wouldn’t want that now would you? 😃

**Swampy** ’s right. Well, he’s right about sticking with your original name, at least – confusing **swampy** is one of the few joys in my bleak existence, so that part’s not a problem.

**11. jrfranchi**

I hate username changes. I’m terrible with names, so if you change it you immediately vanish forever and become a new poster for me.
