Changing user names - Page 4

Scott, if you ever wanted anonymity, stay with Sage. We've talked before about looking up your user name on Google - no one will ever find you with the name of Sage - there are 43 zillion listings for that. Look up Fairygdmther - a fairly unique name and there are two pages - and all refer to me.

Anonymity is great, but I think I may have overshot the mark with "Sage". Also, it sounds a bit pretentious to me now that I've lived with it for a while.

"ScottMate" on the other hand tells who I am and conjures a friendly, approachable image.

I'm just wondering how many pins Tabacco will stick in that voodoo doll of me if I ask him to change my username again.

Sorry, but to me it conjures up a cross between Scott paper towels and a Papermate pen. Can you at least separate the words?

Scott Mate or
Scott-Mate or
Scott, Mate (as if someone asks your name, this is what you'd reply)

I think it sounds more like a some sort of tool..

Love DIY? Then you can't live without a ScottMate (TM)

I think Sage suits you to be perfectly honest. You're actually quite a bright and thoughtful chap. Your posts have made me think on more than one ocassion.

Godfather impression needs a little work though.

I agree that Sage suits you. You are very wise and you flourish in the desert.

I'm gonna echo Sage and say I'm thinking of changing mine again.

I'll do it if someone asks me, but personally I find it a little jarring. I have a hard enough time keeping track of people without their names switching around.

Okay, new rule - you only get ONE switch. Choose wisely.

I frequent another forum where the rules are as follows: A year has to pass since the previous name change, and when you change the name, you gotta have the old one in your sig for a month. Any chance of a standardized policy that applies to everyone (I'm looking at you Kingz,

) ?
