Should I change my username? Whaddya think?

I dunno, carol. With yours, I can say, “c_carol run. run, carol, run.”

You know, I’ve been looking at my name. Now it looks to me like damn the man.

Which is kind of a neat name.

Damn the man, I say. Damn the man.

Atomic Badger Racing is still available.

No. No one should ever, ever, EVER change their name.

:stuck_out_tongue:

Though I do have a fondness for your current nick, being that one of my good party friend in high school was always “Dan the Man” (tho it was not self imposed. Everybody just knew him as that. You know, Dan, Dan the Man.) so it has good happy vibes for me.

Maybe you could add punctuation. You know, commas, exclmation points, I’m partial to apostrophes. It does a lot, and it wouldn’t change the over all.

dantheman!

Okay, maybe not.

Atomic Badger Racing?

Mangetoutp, this is the second thread I’ve read today where you’ve suggested this username.

Any particular story behind it?

Oops. I forgot to add…

dantheman, your username is fine. It’s got a nice beat that you can dance to. And it rhymes, which makes it memorable.

Having a username with a literary allusion does not help you be noticed or remembered. Take me for example. I have a literary name and no one notices me.

Maybe not, but I bet you get a lot of flowers!

your last name is Theman?

Might be. You should see the mail I get. And the phone calls! “Is the man of the house in?”

(smile)
That is true. I’ve often been offered flowers here.

I googled it. :wink:

dan, you are the man!!!

The moment I saw the phrase Atomic Badger Racing, I saw it as a quirky, perhaps almost pythonesque username possibility.

Atomic Badger Racing? We don’t need no steeking… oh, never mind.

Nah, don’t change it.

I’ll just come out and admit it–I don’t like it when people change their usernames. Then I have to remember 2 names for them. Or 3. (I’m looking at you, vanillapeachesorangecakes!) I’m good with names, and for some reason, I am compelled to remember people’s names.

If you have some reason you want to change your name, that cool, but changing it on a lark? Not so much.

JMHO, YMMV, IANAL, 90210, etc.

Green bean; I am abjectly sorry for that.
vanilla now, vanilla forever!

At least with vanilla, we can use mnemonics. I just think of 'Nilla wafers.

I had a whole thread on this once: What do Dopers names make you think of? I’m too lazy to look for it, tho. :wink:

You too? :wink:

How about dantheman*? It would leave people guessing just what the additional info (or tainted record) is attached to you. You’re not quite what you seem… :slight_smile:

That sounds kind of neat, gigi! Clever, yet subtle. Ah, if only each person who changed their name would put an asterisk next to it, then put their old name in their sig. That would be most helpful.

Regarding the use of punctuation, you could “drive” BiblioCat “crazy” (Please “stop” doing that. It’s “making” me “crazy” ) by changing your name to “Dantheman”, or better yet (although it would set you up for all sorts of questioning) Danthe"man".

I got it.
