Suggest a new user name for me?

I am tired of this name. It doesn’t reflect who I am anymore, other than the fact that I still am a Stephen King fan. I originally chose it because I was in an extremely unhappy marriage.

My life has changed dramatically. My husband passed away, and I am seeing a wonderful man who treats me with tenderness and love. My dark and dreary house is being transformed into a haven of light! Aggh—that sounds so hokey. But we are remodeling my kitchen, and painting. I’m really the happiest I have ever been in my life!

Tom just asked me to marry him on October 25th. :slight_smile: He will be moving in in December.

Anyway, after 1400 posts maybe y’all know me a little bit to help me pick out a new name.

I still like to bowl, and ride my motorcycle (a Honda Rebel 250cc,) and cook. I have a 19 year old who seems to be getting his life back on track. He has a job finally, and is going back to school in January. He got into a little trouble last Spring Break and is now on probation. He and Tom like each other, too.

I love the beach, and mornings with my coffee, and garage sales…and The Straight Dope of course!

Rebowl Yell?

I think you need another ‘literary’ name (King or otherwise) that reflects your new situation.

As to what that would be… I have no idea.

Spanky. No reason, I just like the name.

Rose Madder

Catamaran Detergent

Or something else like that.

miscellaneous usernames:

I Said Bacon!
I’m Happy and Angry
Scabby Monkey
Stumpy!
Carefree Maniac
Undiagnosed Fish
Shave it all off!

None of them mean anything (except the Ralph Wiggum quote) and probably don’t apply to you. Most of them I just made up right now, except Scabby Monkey which I’ve been promoting (without luck) for nigh unto two years now. No one ever wants to be Scabby Monkey… :frowning:

I kinda like Honda Rebel.

Firebird Spirit (Isn’t it a firebird that rises from the ashes – or is that a phoenix?)

Sea Glass (Since time and stormy waters have smoothed your rough edges, perhaps?)

I’m so glad that you are changing you name, but even happier that you have good reason to! My best wishes to all of you.

Christine

She, like you, has nice headlights…

Be a Pepper!
What, me worry?

I would really miss your username.

I would like Rose Madder; she got out and went forward.

To reflect the dramatic change: Dolores Reborn

Positive: pun off old username affords transition to new

Negative: since dolores is Spanish for “pains” or “sorrows”, maybe that word’s better off shed

To play off the Rebel theme: ReBelle Yell, Rebel Arouser, She’s A Rebel

Kathy Bates.

That’'s what I kept thinking of when I saw your ID, Dolores Claiborne. Bates seems pretty happy. Especially in “About Schmidt.” :wink:

& congrats on all your good happenings!

Lots to think about…I particularly like Phoenix. I have been reborn of sorts! I like the mental image.

I like Rose Madder…she also got out of a bad marriage and found true love.

I like Dolores Reborn!

AND GETTING MARRIED!! Woo hoo! That’s excellent news.

Mulva?
Aretha?

Or how about Mulva Reborn

Sorry but the Seinfeld I saw last night had the character Delores on (AKA Mulva) so its stuck in my head.

This is just the sweetest post! It literally had me all choked up. Congratulations and Very Best Wishes to you and your future groom! Here’s wishing you a lifetime filled with love and happiness!

As for a new username, there have been several good ones suggested already, but I’ll just throw in the pot for consideration, Rebel with a Cause, since your life has found a renewed and invigorating purpose. Or, in keeping with the Stephen King allusions, Dreamcatcher.
