I’m just curious if you have the same occasional problem that I do.
If I’m scanning a list of thread titles, as I usuallly do after clicking on “New Posts” to see if there are some threads I’d like to read or at least to mouseover, my eye will fall on Zsofia and my first thought is “oh, there’s one of mine.” It only lasts a moment and when I look again, I realize my error. But it happens often enough that I thought I’d see if I’m alone with this sort of thing.
There may be othe Z names that cause the same reaction, but it’s Zsofia most of the time.
There is a doper with the user name Crown Prince of Irony. Whenever he posts something and I saw it, I usually do a double-take - “I don’t remember posting that …oh wait!”
I get a small “wha?” when I see a post written by someone with Evil in front of their username. Not very often, but enough that I notice it happens sometimes.
The stupid thing is whoever the person is, whose name I can’t remember (grr!!!), I have no good reason for confusing with myself. I think it’s another three-word name with a capital “O” in the middle, and that’s it. I never confuse **meanoldlman **or **MeanMrMustard **with myself. There’s someone whose name is nothing like mine that trips me up about 75% of the time, which makes me feel like a total dork.
[Resists the urge to go furiously looking through every thread, hoping the name will come up]
Not since Mnementh and even then, it was the short form (mnem) that was more confusing, since my username is all lower-case. There was another poster here briefly who used Mnemnosyne - had she posted more, I would likely have contacted the mods to see what could be done about the situation, given the similarity!
Years ago there was an lno and Ino… I think one ended up changing their names due to confusion. I don’t even know if either still posts here!
Aes…I missed your name change! When did that happen?
