| #1zombie_babiesJul 26, 2011 13:23:10 | Ok, a lot of us have been around for a bit and I think it may be fun (and useful) if we talk about what we'd have used as a name if we had to do it all over again. Kinda make a list of sorts. Like a list of 'might have beens'. Or something. So let's hear it. If you were just starting your account today, what name would you use? For me, ZB would be right out. It came about from a game I ran a long time ago so it wouldn't be fresh in my mind. There's a name I used to use in MMOs but I probably wouldn't use that. So, I think I'd be Fred. Or maybe Bobbert. I dunno. I'm not in a name generatin' state of mind right now. But I'd use either of those. Ok ya'all. Your turn! ;) |
| #2pluisjenJul 26, 2011 13:33:37 | I'd still be Pluisjen. I've been using it for quite a while and still use it to register for new accounts. I might also be Haas if I weren't very serious about participating, at least at first. (It's the Dutch word for Hare. I sometimes use it to register for things. I have no idea why) |
| #3JhariiJul 26, 2011 13:35:14 | My moniker from the time I was 18 or so was Shade Shadowbane (22+ years ago), and it was one of my character's names when I was 15. When Shadowbane, the game, came out, I was promptly assaulted in any gaming forum I joined for not copying my name and/or being a fanboi of one of the biggest disappointments in computer game history... So I got sick of trying to explain that my name was far older than the game. Jharii was a name I used in a Star Trek game I played (Klingon obviously) and eventually for my Tauren druid in WoW. It's pronounced CHAH-ree (CHAH is pronounced VERY heavily). |
| #4LFKJul 26, 2011 13:51:08 | I'd either stick with LFK or go with the long-form Lemonfrosted. It's a monniker that still works quite well on a bunch of levels, and I'm probably going to keep using it for anything that isn't directly related to my show. |
| #5homicidal_squirrelJul 26, 2011 13:53:49 | Smeep. I'd definitely go with Smeep. |
| #6pigknightJul 26, 2011 14:23:18 | PigKnight or ThePigKnight. Maybe PigPaladin, PigDarkKnight, PigNecromancer, PigWarlock, PigWizard, PigSorcerer, PigLordKnight, or PigSpellblade. |
| #7homicidal_squirrelJul 26, 2011 14:25:59 | PigKnight or ThePigKnight. Maybe PigPaladin, PigDarkKnight, PigNecromancer, PigWarlock, PigWizard, PigSorcerer, PigLordKnight, or PigSpellblade. For some reason I want to call you Sir_Oinksalot |
| #8pigknightJul 26, 2011 14:28:48 | PigDragoon. Totes forgot PigDragoon. |
| #9LFKJul 26, 2011 14:37:19 | PigDragoon. Totes forgot PigDragoon. What about PigGrenadier or PigFusilier? |
| #10pigknightJul 26, 2011 14:38:47 | PigDragoon. Totes forgot PigDragoon. I'm more of a mideval fantasy kinda Pig. If I did do a modern pig he'd be PigZombie, PigManifester, SuperPig, or DetectivePig. |
| #11Cpt_MichaJul 26, 2011 15:03:00 | I think I might pick like actually I don't know what I would pick. Micha is almost always the name I default to. |
| #12dirtyfrankJul 26, 2011 15:15:40 | dirtyfrank or dirty8frank. If those aren't a choice when signing up for something I second guess if it's worth signing up for it. Nothing else has really come to mind when picking a name for something online. Maybe "Whoa" or something like that. Or maybe Whoa! |
| #13draco1119Jul 26, 2011 16:07:36 | draco1119, Draco1119 are always my first 2 choices. I also used to have an alt account named Timothy_Leary. ![]() |
| #14EscefJul 26, 2011 16:19:48 | This isn't the only place I've used the name Escef. It's a good name, I like it. The only problems I have with it is that 1) it's an anagram of feces (I probably would have thought twice about it if I'd realized it beforehand), and 2) there is an organization that goes by this name (the Esoteric Sciences & Creative Education Foundation, Inc., a bunch of loonies out in Australia). If I were to use a different name... Possibly Qawamity (I use it on YouTube), 98Charlie (the old designation of my MOS in the Army), or Jeff D. (first name, last initial). |
| #15TimmehJul 26, 2011 18:22:49 | I default to Timmeh because everyone calls me Timmeh in real life. However, I also go by Snuggle Knight in some venues. |
| #16Mad_JackJul 26, 2011 19:46:21 | I've used elhombremalo and Dead_Cat on other forums... I like Dead_Cat because instead of filling out my profile I can just fill in "Curiosity's a , ain't it?", lol. ![]() |
| #17RPJesusJul 26, 2011 22:23:11 | Prolly still RPJesus, since it's my default name. Although I might have gone with reaSkemblington, Strawman, Ceiling_Cat, or Millikin if the fancy struck me. |
| #18dirtyfrankJul 27, 2011 0:08:45 | Oh maybe I could go with this whole internet anonymity thing I could use names like Nobody, Somebody, Anonymous. |
| #19KlirshonJul 27, 2011 1:12:19 | Klirshon is my moniker. I would only choose a different identity were I attempting a covert infiltration. |
| #20IdolisJul 27, 2011 1:42:44 | I use Sandyman and CardsStar on some other sites. If I had too, I'd use them here. Kinda like Sandyman. |
| #21The_SilverswordJul 27, 2011 2:58:29 | I dont want to say, cause then If I do get banned I dont want everybody to be oh its that Sliversword guy. But I will say that ussually I use vark, or try to, appreantly its somewhat common being as anytime I try to use that as a forum screen name or email or whatever it always tells me sorry that name is taken, so Im ussually stuck with xvarkx. Why vark? Well its a long story, but since ive got nothing else better to do, Im going to tell it. Several years ago (20 some) I was hanging out with some friends of mine, Gloop, Wulf, and Twig. Anyway these guys decided that if I was going to hang with them then I needed a nickname too. Unfortunatly for me all the good nicknames like Slash or Snake or Spider were already taken, so I ended up with Aardvark, or Vark for short. Why Aardvark? Well Wulf, who I believe was under the influence of something or another, thought I loooked like an armadillo, but instead of saying armadillo he said Aardvark! and it just stuck. Theres guys that ive known for years who consider me a good friend, but yet have no idea what my actuall name is hahaha. It kinda works out though, if someone calls here and asks for vark then I know theyre "cool", but if they ask for John, then its probably a bill collector tell em im not here. But since this is the D&D forums i decided to use a D&D character's name. Silversword being my longest lived character, surviving 3 editions! Although in the last 2 he was a DMPC. The game started out with us all taking turns DMing, so Silversword got played quite a bit, but as the game went on I got stuck more and more being the DM. I tried to keep Silversword out of it, Ive heard too many horry stories about DMPCs, but the other players would go out of their way to track him down. His main thing as a pc was portals, he loved portals and gate ways and specilizrd in teleportation magics, so anytime the other pcs needed to get somewhere theyd always have to go get Silversword, Id always have him on some other plane or something, and it would of been much easier for them to just walk to where ever they needed to go, but for whatever reason, they just had to have The Silversword! |
| #22ADHadhJul 27, 2011 6:05:55 | Should have made "Silversword Teletransportations Agency" at some time, don't you think? ![]() I usually use this one, but if it's unavailable or I want to sound it more like a character name, I use SmaggTheSmug or a variation. |
| #23bone_nagaJul 27, 2011 10:57:35 | I wouldn't change mine. I've used bone_naga for a while in other forums as well as for one of my email accounts. I pretty much use it for everything game related. I chose it initially because every other name I wanted was taken on the site I was signing up for (I think they were all dragon-related names), then I thought, well what's one of my other favorite D&D monsters (after all, everyone loves dragons)? Nagas. Well what's my favorite naga? The bone naga. |
| #24KeinoJul 27, 2011 16:41:14 | I have been using Keino since I was playing super nintendo as a kid. I am actually getting kind of bored with it now that I'm older. I don't want to change to anything generic like (xXACEXx) or something you might find a 12 year-old using on CoD4. Now I've got to figure something out.... .....maybe something pig related. ;) |
| #25The_SilverswordJul 27, 2011 22:29:24 | Should have made "Silversword Teletransportations Agency" at some time, don't you think? Heh, I like it! Im definitely going to have to use that! |
| #26WebsterJul 27, 2011 22:49:47 | I came close to picking TSRO_Dice. But, at the time with the chat rooms and the game rooms, I just knew people would bother me all night, looking for rolled numbers. Even if they knew I wasn't a dice bot, they'd still ask for a random number. It would be fun for about ten minutes. I ended up picking TSRO_Paradox instead. As for THIS name, it started as a half joke. My typing skills were good even back then. But, being a live chat a few typos would get through. TSRO_Paradox would often blame his "pet typo demon Webster" |
| #27trappedsliderJul 27, 2011 22:53:16 | I came close to picking TSRO_Dice. lol, back when we had Wizo autumn and the old chat room before it died,they deicussed giving me the title of "dog of typos" due to my numerous typos in the chat room |
