I think there are a couple of other queens, and I’ve seen 2 users with variations of hillbilly where it was abreviated. ---

After discovering that there was another poster with a name similar to yours, I’m glad none of you decided to stalk and harass that poster with rude comments? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Dragon Phoenix \* > \*\*Moreover (from my point of view) there is also a Phoenix Dragon… \*\* Eep 🙂 Yeah, I’d been here about a week, maybe three posts under my belt, when I saw your username. A little embarasing, taking a name so close to someone who was already here, hope it hasn’t caused any confusion. I would have taken just _Phoenix_, but everywhere I go it’s already taken. ---

I have noticed a few similar usernames- Tygre and Tygr Nicklz and Nickrz Spoofe and Spooje (as already mentioned) Yojimbo and Yojimboguy There was a couple more doper couplets like that that I noted but I have now forgotten them! (how goshdurned inconvenient!) And for about 2 weeks before the board crash I went by the name Silver Raven (name change was wiped out by said crash) which I supposed could have been confusing with Silver Fire, if I wasn’t such a semilurking very occasional very-post-twice-a month poster! 😉 ---
