Subject: Name Changes Abound!
I was one who did this very thing....waay back before the crash..I was BostonFan76....mine changed for the simple fact that I was being thought of as a fan of everything in Boston. I had intended to use it for a great rock band of the same name. I wanted no association with red aurbach and the celtics. red hated the old American Basketball Association and was very cruel during merger talks with my favorite league....hence the name change. I do however still love the Red Sox, Aerosmith, The Cars, The Patriots and yes, even the Bruins (Of course from the Ray Borque/Avalanche connection) but my new name covers all the genre of music that I care passionately about. So I will just say to ALL of you that have changed names in the past and may change in the future...you will ALL be the same to me, good people who have brought me from the depths of depression back when I first joined, into a wonderful community, although sometimes a bit crazy (Hey that's half the fun right?) This will always make me smile thinking of all the great times here ;)
I did have a hand in suggesting one of the changed names....you know who you are, and I'm happy you made the choice ;)

I've been thinking about a few name changes myself, but not sure what to pick. Here are my choices, maybe yous can help me out:
DaS - yes there is a meaning behind this name, just look closer ;) used on the hiphop boards. am also gonna cange my sig and avatar with this name.
Rebel With A Cause - this maybe too long. the meaning behind this is UNLV nickname are the Rebels. one of my favorite albums is Kid Rock "Devil Without A Cause". well you can pretty much see how I got this name. used on the U of M forum.
MakGonz - I use this name at the NGC forums. planning on switching my avatar on this one.
Mateo - spanish name

Well, I did change my screen name, not once, but twice, on April 1st. For most of that day I became "WV Redneck" and then changed it to "Mystery Guy" to honor some Canadian-American woman (yes, Mystery Woman) and even had the avatar of Papa Smurf! On April 2nd, crazydon returned…

Well, I just changed my name (NatMC78 ). I'm bored with that username since I use it for everything. Of course, Natalie isn't a very unique username, but it'll do for now until I can think of something better. Any suggestions?
Subject: Re: Name Changes Abound!
I was going to change my username to my nickname, but I don't think anyone would appreciate it! My nickname is Jessi$lut! :D
Subject: Re: Name Changes Abound!
How about being like your sister and change it to Jessica22 or something? ;)

Nah. :)
Subject: Re: Name Changes Abound!
Some of us won't recognize the new names (like me, I don't know who the hell y'all are ! LOL !) because we'll just think you're new people....or it may come to light that I don't really care what name I'm typing... ::)
So change it forty-seven times...whatever blows your skirt up. ;)
Subject: Re: Name Changes Abound!
the only reason I changed my name was due to my divorce....I did not jump on a bandwagon...I guess it just seems that way.
My married name was Young....hence why I dropped that off my name in May to just cricket....then to stop getting harrassing emails and such...I got rid of the cricket too....so I thought if I am gonna change it in some places I will change it here too.
But it is still the same ol me....and I have no intentions of changing it again!! ;)

Subject: Re: Name Changes Abound!
Hey ! Thats ex-Shannon !
Shannon is gone I heard
She's drifting out to sea
She always loved to swim away
Maybe she'll find an island
With a shaded tree
Just like the one in our backyard
Shannon - Henry Gross
Song matches the avatar matches the ex-name....
FB ;)

Wow. I admit it seems like there is a domino effect going with all the recent name changes. But I seem to remember the last time someone changed his/her screen name it triggered a couple of other changes, too.
I'm guessing that when a bunch of people change names in a short period of time it's just a coincidence. We are not planning a group name change.
And BadAngel, I used to be "Kat". ;D

As a guest poster and as a screen name change? I've seen Tarzan_Boy so often on here it'll be weird seeing a Guest screen name change...
that is, if you ever forget to log in.
Subject: Re: Name Changes Abound!
I am going to stick with mine...just a variation of my last name-easy to remember.
On a different note, I find that I give some nicknames to some of the posters...and that is how I see them in my mind's eye...ie: Tarzan Boy being Teezee to me, and southernspitfire conjures up either Scarlett O'Hara spitting on the Atlanta fire to put it out (no offense) or Rebel Belle. I have a lot of others, and I have a vivid imagination! ;D

The moral is to always ask Auntie Banasy before you do anything drastic. That name does SO fit you! ;D

I did find an Island...unfortunately, I need to drift out to sea just a little bit longer. Maybe I will hit Hawaii instead or Australia. ;) ;D
