What SDMB Name Did You Almost Choose?

I almost chose Canbe, from the novel “The Phantom Tollbooth”.

The name ITR Champion is a reference to a game that some of my friends made up. There are at most 25 people who could understand what it means. However, when I tried to register that name with AOL, it was already taken, but not by anybody that I know.

I’ve thought about changing mine to Jeannie Eats Zucchini. It’s from the Far Side comic where there’s a courtroom. The lawyer calls a witness, “I now call Mr. Pumpkin-Eater’s sister, Jeannie Jeannie Eats-Zucchini.”

That just cracks me up.

Now that I’ve been here for awhile, it seems there’s only one logical choice out there:

Ayesha’s Plaything

Sublight, the new name would sorta go with your masturbation sig. Thanks for the compliment, I think one of the other knights was named Sir Loin.

As far as Elton John goes “The Young Man In The 22nd Row” would be cool as well.

Sir

…is your name meant to be Japanese for “oxygen,” or is that just a coincidence?

Oh my ! How ** do ** I keep missing posts like this ?

Dearest poopah chalupa, you are so good for my ego.
Maybe I should change my name to Poopah&Thesob’s hotbabe.

“Vince the Untouchable”
“Vince the Textureless”
“Vince the Unfeelable”
“Vince the Somewhat-Sticky-But-Nontheless-Shiny-Rubber-Nipple”

And finally, That Guy. Just 'cuz I’ve always wanted to be him.

My name derives from the familiar formula for the area of a circle. Originally, I was going to be closer to the spirit of this formula by using the Greek ‘pi’, rather than ‘pie’. I was a mouse-click away from doing such, when :eek:, I noticed Pis ‘R’ Squared doesn’t read very well. All was well in the end, however, since I like baking and ‘pie’ can refer to that as well.

Sincerely,
Pies ‘R’ Squared

Pies ‘R’ round.
Cornbread ‘R’ square.

Kyomara: It’s a coincidence. Tansu is also a sort of Japanese cabinet, and a Turkish female first name.

I’m not Turkish, either.

I toyed with the name Ella Wendy Owen for a while, but decided it would be too confusing (“it’s not my name; it’s my address!”). I’m still contemplating expanding my name in light of jti’s complaints about people not remembering three-character names.

Thought seriously about Bill Kill. One my friends in college gave me that nickname; my name’s Bill, and I’m such a pacifist that he thought it was funny to call me Bill Kill. It kind of stuck; my wife still calls me that occasionally. I just thought it might either give the wrong impression (it’s ironic! really!) or make me explain it too many times.

I was thinking about LewdMinx, which is my Quake2 handle and my AIM nick, but I was afraid I’d be taken less seriously in GD threads, to which I post alarmingly often…

You came pretty close to ignoring the posts of a West Side. a nickname I somehow managed to aquire in HS. Romeo Elvis was something a lady friend called me after…nah, I’m not going into that story.

However, I’m in an idenity crisis and am weighing whether or not I want to change my alias.

I’ve been thinking of changing to Davenport In A Storm, but I’ve grown comfortable with SterlingN.

I was close to going with Pain in the Ass, but that could be mistaken for soooo many things that I don’t want to relate to me.
