Poll question: Should I change my name?
Edited on Tue Apr-20-04 11:49 AM by ChavezSpeakstheTruth
I got to thinking that when I started my DU career I hastily picked a name based on one of the many political topics that I am greatly interested in. However my interest in Venezuelan politics is only one facet of my thinking.

My love for Coltrane holds a more prominent place in who I am in my heart.

So what do you think, should I change my name to: ALoveSupreme?

BTW - not intending to start a pro/anti-Chavez debate

4. I would certainly make it plain who I am - I'm not into shadiness
Got accused once of having two names and being dishonest (Skinner exonerated me) and I don't want that crap to go down again.

14. Nah,
I hated the old name, it was meaningless. No one missed it - I had no rep. YMMV.

13. I suggest.... Elvis.
Short. Direct. And to the point.

Then be sure to point out you are the older, porkchop-sideburned, jumpsuit-wearin' Elvis, and not the younger, bad-movie, GI-type Elvis.

Or maybe not.:7

16. Not so much - I'd prefer to be known as "the Cunning Linguist" than Elvis
Just sayin'

19. ALoveSupreme sounds good.
Awesome music, and a positive tone. You'll have to remind us in your sig line, so we don't freak out wondering who the FNG is.

22. Why not "Blue Train"?
Unless I've confused Davis and Coletrain again... but I don't think I have.

23. You're right - Blue Train=Coltrane / Kind of Blue=Miles
I adore Blue Train but A Love Supreme was his spiritual masterpiece.

25. There is more to Coltrane to consider for your name
He was born in Hamlet and grew up in High Point, NC.

So call yourself

HamletsColtrane

or


TheHighPointofJazz

That's all I can say

Good suggestions, though
