Ever chosen a forum name you regret?

[Lord Flashheart]

Hello all,
Does anyone know if it's possible to change your forum name without having to re register? I joined this magnificent forum a couple of months ago and had to choose a forum name under pressure hence the plummy sounding title.
"Lord Flashheart" does not really sound like a 42 year old Scotsman who grew up in Sunny Leith (if you knew Leith 25 years ago you would know what I mean) and lives in country Victoria so it's time to fess up to who I am and get a name which reflects who I am.

Denial is in Egypt as far as I'm concerned.

Any advice will be appreciated.

Have you PM'd a bartender? I think they should be able to straighten things out for you.

 

[Bad Co]

Yep mine I got that name while hiking the Appalachian Trail and couldn't think of anything else when I registered

 

[Two Types]

I don't regret mine, but it gets shortened to 'TT'. For me, that is immediately associated with the old British comedy actor Terry-Thomas. Now, whilst i like him and his films, his plummy voice and archetypal English cad image are not really my thing (partly due to the preponderance of 'chappish' types on the 'vintage scene' in the UK that think that style is 'such jolly fun' - but don't really get it).

 

[V.C. Brunswick]

I wanted to use Victor Brunswick, the name I use on other forums, but for some reason when I joined the Lounge it was too many letters so I had to settle for V.C. Brunswick.

Yes, you can get it changed. Mine was different and I changed it to match several accounts elsewhere. I PMd a bartender and asked about it. This might be in the FAQ.

 

[Gin&Tonics]

I chose mine under pressure in the spur of the moment too; I happened to be drinking it at the time! I figured it seemed to work so I haven't tried to change it. Maybe if I come up with something better. Best of luck to you!

 

[V.C. Brunswick]

Strangely ehough, another name that I had briefly considered was Go 1949 because my keys happened to be sitting on my desk and one of them has the number G01949 on it.

 

[Lord Flashheart]

I took mine as I love the UK comedy series Blackadder and Flashheart is one of the characters in it. I love the "Blackadder goes forth" series for its dark humour. The episode "Private Plane" still has me in tears of laughter after 25 years. The series finale is also one of the most poinient endings too.

So a new forum name is required. Any suggestions for a 42 year old 6'3 Scotsman living in the goldfields of Australia? When I was learning to fly, one of the fellas at work came up with "Emelia Braveheart" but I think that might cause some confusion.

If I ever become a naughty girl I'll have to have mine changed for sure.

 

[Shangas]

My username is the one I use on most other places. It was my nickname at school. Everyone called me that.

I never expected to become so addicted, so I just used my email address at the time. About as much personality as . . . an email address. I wish I had used Jazznocracy, a name I use in a couple other venues. It's the most well known song of my favorite big band, Jimmie Lunceford.

 

[Miss Stella]

I had to think just a little bit for my forum name....I stole my grandmothers name
"She was a classy dame, Miss Stella", my grandfather would tell me after she died. I didn't appreciate her as much as I should have. I think she would have loved the Lounge

And all this time I figured it was meant to throw us off...You know, the innocent librarian? :eeek:

 

[Smithy]

Like Shangas, mine was easy, the nickname which has stuck with me since school.

 

[AtomicEraTom]

I wish I would have picked something less wordy, that's for sure.

 

[Lord Flashheart]

Smithy, you weren't the chap on Chapel St wearing an Irvin the other week were you? I has my ALC Irvin on and we chatted for a wee bit?

Shhhhhhhhhhh!

Pardon me while I remove this pencil holding my hair up in a bun...

 

[AntonAAK]

Mine is my name, plus initials. Keeps things simple. Plus I wouldn't want to write anything on the internet or elsewhere that I'm not prepared to put my name to.

[William Stratford]

Whilst mine is a bit stuffy sounding, it is the first name of my grandfather and great grandfather (Stratford is an incredible christian name, and I'm even tempted to deed poll it in to my own as an additional middle name! ) so I'm happy with it (although I do respond to "Will" as well ).
