What short version of your username do you prefer?

Inspired by this thread, in which people are generally saying they’re okay with a board nickname, but express a preference for one version over another.

Me: I prefer twicks as making my periodic vanity searches easier. :smiley: twick also works for that, since I search for twick*, but it seems less “me” than twicks.

I don’t like twix, because if I do a vanity search on that I end up either with references to candy bars or in the middle of one of sampiro’s stories (he’s inordinantly fond of the preposition “twixt”).

Dropping the 01 is fine. I’d rather it not be shortened beyond that.

Huh. I like “Twix”–twix is for kids. “PRR” is short and convenient, but “that irritating asshole” will do if you can’t remember the whole latinate construct.

Rebo for me.

Since I probably have the lowest shoutouts-to-postcount ratio of any Doper alive, it barely matters, but FWIW I prefer Knead to KTK, KtK, K2K or other variants. :slight_smile:

Knead
Won’t someone think of the vanity searchers?

Haaaaa!!! Ok, Rebo. I like it. I don’t care what you folks call me, just don’t call me late for a trainwreck. I’m always late for those, come strolling in about page 12.

I like Mossie. My username is actually a nickname for my camp nickname, Mosquito. Some of my friends regularly call me Mossie, so it seems pretty natural to me.

Heh. I actually think of you as “pseud” – it works on so many levels. :wink:

Staud or Staudy rather than Stauder or SH or anything like that.

I don’t mind FCM, except for that 3-letter search issue.

In the MMP, some refer to me as **Moooom **(not sure of the *o *count) which cracks me up.

But I don’t particularly like Fairy. Don’t know why, just don’t like it. And interestingly, searching for* fairy** brings up a lot of religions debate threads. Go figure…

Wile E. Coyote, Super Genius Esq., if you please.

What?
Okay, if you must shorten it, Wile is fine.

No one speaks about me anyway so it doesn’t matter but I prefer Joph. Luckily, on forums where people do occassionally have cause to reference me, that’s what they use.

A few oddballs use Jo but that femininizes the name even worse than usual. I already have enough people assuming I’m a skirt.

Part of the reason I settled on Bosstone as a general internet name is because folks tend to shorten it to Boss. :smiley:

I’m fine with either Unconquered Lord of the Seven Climes OR Lord of the Fortunate Celestial Conjunction ( or some minor variants thereof ).

I can also tolerate Tam. But it’s not optimal ;).

I like 3acres. No offense intended towards the truck…it just kind of feels like a first name to me.

Well, sure you can call me Worm, it’s just so much not like me.

I’ll roll (or squirm) with it though.

I don’t think anyone ever shortens mine! :smiley:

But… are you sure it’s because of the name?

To answer the question, I prefer Valerie or V or even VB. Not a fan of Val IRL or here, but I’m not going to flip out if someone uses it.

Rhiannon or Rhi works for me.
