Time for a username change?

You could do something like JejuneButManly. :wink:

Umm…I have a confession to make. I am that very same Sparky…I couldn’t post for a while and by the time I came back I’d forgotten my password and so I started afresh (not like I had trouble making up my old post count!)

sorry!

I generally am opposed to name changes, but I agree that your current one may not project the image you wish. (Though I admit that it is one of my favorites!)

I absolutely love Whuckleberry Finn, or just Whuckleberry. It keeps a lot of the old name while eliminating the “fuck” factor. If a person must change their name, I like it when they change it to something that at least contains a clue to the old one–like the yojimboguy to Boyo Jim switch.

Speaking of which, is there any current thread which lists some of the recent name changes? I keep seeing “new” posters with 700 or 1500 or 4500 posts.

And all this time I thought I was the more experienced Isle Of Man based doper.

WHAT ??? CHANGE YOUR NAME ?!?!?!?!?

:thud:

Actually I might abandon the suggestions in my sig and start promoting Molten Larva

You might want to email TubaDiva, explain the situation, and beg for her mercy. This sort of thing is frowned upon pretty heavily here.
I vote for Crap Nelson.

Happy

Now I want to be Dangerous Beans!

I like your name just the way it is.

Am I in trouble? yikes!

See, this is why I do like these threads. I had no idea Boyo Jim was yojimboguy. None.

I always liked your username, so I’d vote for keeping it as I tend to mix up

a) posters with animal names (Giraffe - Gazelle) anyone?)

b) posters with similar sounding names (all posters with Unclesomething, the yojimbos, the neuro/necro/whatevermancer)

c) pretty much anyone with a number at the end

d) posters who changed their name (I still miss TTT, he was so easily identifiable…yes, I know it was a truck stop, but still)

If you’re still going for a change, whuckleberry seems to present the least amount of trouble and sounds nice, too.

Oh, and I like Lobsang better, too. Has a better ring to it than Vimes. Though I agree Vimes is the cooler character.

What did TTT change his name to?

Ahem. I clean forgot…See?

:: off to do a search ::

Tusculan. Admittedly, rather melodic, but for me, less memorable.

Of those suggested, I like whuckleberry. I’d suggest one, too, but I misplaced my imagination. :frowning:

Although…you could use Misplaced Imagination

Who’d’ve thought my spur-of-the-moment suggestion (“Whuckleberry Finn” shortened to “Whuckleberry”) would be popular? And the advantage is people could still call you “Whuck” for short!

Another possibility might be “FunkleWhucker” … no, no, that’s a step in the wrong direction :smiley:

How about Giant Frickin’ Tiki Head? I posted that in a CS thread a couple days ago and it’s got a nice ring to it.

Name changes are an abomination. I can’t even begin to keep up. So, if you want all your friends/admirers/detractors to lose track of you permanently, just change your name.

Ass Monkey Pugsley!

No… too crass

Cajun Dude

Oh… you’re one of those, a Wisconsoner. Never mind.

Imagine the fun…

Since you seem to be missing an electron or two…

Here and there…

YourNameHere or StateYourName

or others in that flavour.

Hmmm…

Is AtomicDawg taken?

NO! One of my SDMB favorites. Keep it.
