Hi all, chrisbar here and I just wanted to let you all know that I decided to change my screen name here at the Dope board. With all the unique names here I was starting to get an inferiority complex 😉 and decided to make mine a little more original. So from this day forth I’m now Tally-Ho. ---

Well **chrisbar** , I don’t think there was anything wrong with your old name. But I do like Tally-Ho. I just like _saying_ Tally-Ho. Welcome. 🙂 ---

Thanks, **Trion**. I just wanted something different. I use chrisbar for just about everything else and wanted something a little more special for the SDMB. Besides, I couldn’t resist the double entendres (sp?) in the name… I’m from Tallahassee, I’m female… :o ---

I like it. And that is NOT to imply that I didn’t like your old username. It was always fun to say–but so is this new one. Do you like it? I really don’t like mine anymore, but I haven’t the slightest what I would ever change to…alas. So good for you! Have fun with it. Tally-Ho…yeah, I like it a lot. ---

Glad you like it, **struuter** , I certainly do. I thought long and hard about changing it though because I wanted to get it right this time and not antagonize TubaDiva by waffling back and forth. I like your current name, **struuter** , so don’t go changing it. (unless you _really_ want to, of course) You’ll still be the Official Strumpet whatever you call yourself. (Come to think of it… strumpet migth make a good change 😉 ) Tally ---

Hi. Stupid question: how do you change your user name and retain your post count? ---

Chrisbar seemed right to us you know, but Tally will work just fine. It’s kind of cute and fun to say… Good morning!! Tally-Ho… ---

You’d better be sure though, I think you only get one freebie. Good morning, **Girlbysea**. I thought Tally was cute too but I’m already getting propostions because of the -Ho. 😉 Just part of the fun. Tally ---

It sounds so proper and, well so British. Tally-Ho! Tally-Ho! Tally-Ho! I like it. ---

Thanks Tally! I love your new name - it’s quite feminine. Mine is old and tired. Time to get creative, I think. ---

You’re scaring all the foxes. You’re welcome, **Black12**. Any ideas what you’ll change to or will you surprise us all like I did? Tally
