When I first signed up to the Dope, my head was in a bad place (as was my life), and as an admitted agarophobic shut-in, I picked hermette as my female hermit identity for this place. Two and half years later, life’s a lot better, and my username sucks 🙂 Any suggestions for a new name for a Scottish feminist, mildly alcoholic, sarcastic, short-arsed, full time mum? I quite like “Cinnamon Imp” (although I’m not really a celtic red-head as that implies. But I’d \*like \*to be, and used to be with the aid of modern hair dye technology if that counts) 😉 Oooh, and also which of our many talented good-looking mods should I appraoch once I’ve made the carefully thought out decision? ATMB? [1]Yes, I know name changes are limited, and not to be done on a whim. That’s why I’ve stuck with this irritating lower-case one for so long 🙂 ---

I rather like Cinnamon Imp! But that may be that I started getting my cinnamon from a bottle too, once I realized that my mom’s cinnamon wasn’t going to pass down to me. All I come up with at the moment, though, is Scotia. Sounds…umm…short and scottish and female 😃 ---

ATMB? I totally read that as “Cinnamon Limps” for some reason. It sounded painful. But Cinnamon Imp has a nice ring to it. I believe the admins handle name changes.. **Marley23** or **TubvaDiva** should be able to hook you up. But be careful. They may make you wash their coffee mug first. -D/a ---

How about **Scotitude**? Or **scotitudeRed**? (I’m trying to play on “attitude”, if you didn’t get it.) If you want it more gender-identifiable, then perhaps **scotitudeFemme**? Welcome to Out-Of-Your-Shell, by the way! It’s a better place to be. I found your post about what your ex did to you 2 yrs ago. What’s his user name, is it **assHole**? 😃 ---

But, I think I’m missing a reference there…? > [@Taomist](#): > > All I come up with at the moment, though, is Scotia. Sounds…umm…short and scottish and female 😃 Ohhh, I quite like. Wonder if I can use it as a punny name though, and build on Nova Scotia somehow. Noble Scotia? 🙂 Nova-va-voom Scotia? 😉 > [@Indian](#): > > Squisher Mm, thanks, just makes me picture a ten year old boy for some reason though 🙂 > [@Digital\_is\_the\_new\_Analog](#): > > I totally read that as “Cinnamon Limps” for some reason.

They may make you wash their coffee mug first. I’m sadly fond of washing up, so that’s fine with me! 😃 > [@echo7tango](#): > > How about **Scotitude**?

I’m trying not to badmouth him around her, but it’s hard to avoid sometimes!) ---

I think Dram Queen is pretty good. I like Hagarse but can see the downside. I’m trying to think of something working alcohol and Scots into it but may need to find a book. I don’t think Betrothed Woad or Lush Mither work. Wait until after coffee 🙂 ---
