I vote for not changing it, too. Partially because I’ll never remember who you used to be, but mostly because I don’t really like any of your other options. ---

> [@Giraffe](#): > > **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. I have to agree with the prehensile-tonged paedophile[sup]\*[/sup] here. If you have to change it, I’ll opt for #10; I think I can still manage to figure out who it is, but some of those other names are going to take you right back to zero, and after we had such a pleasant exchange about good beer, too.

I can’t help myself. May I suggest another batch of Tolkienesque names?

Really is a good one, but I ran this as a bit of a Board Poll and I will abide by it. I will be asking for the thread to be closed and request my name change to **JRFranchi** or **What Exit?** if they cannot for any reason make the first change. Jim ---

I know you’re not looking for new ones, but I’ll still throw **Jim of the Jersey Shire** out here. Of course, “Jersey Shire” could just be used in the location field. But going with what we’ve got, I’ll say: **JRFranchi** , **Reverend Jim** and **What Exit?** ( **Sternvogel** – you’re right, “Which Exit?” _is_ less ambiguous. However, that’s just not the way the question is asked). ---
