Who changed their screen name?

[bigwillq]

If you wish, tell us why.

[JohnKleeb]

1. I havent decided whether I will or not

[bigwillq]

2. I hope you don't

I just love that name-----KLEEB!

[JohnKleeb]

6. its German if youre curious

and I was gonna keep my last name in it but not my first. I had considered Gypsy Kleeb :), since I probably have some gypsy blood, roma yo :D.

[bigwillq]

10. That's a good idea-to keep Kleeb

I'm not big on "Gypsy" but if it suits you than go for it.

[JohnKleeb]

22. yep compromised as always heh

well ya know I am part Slovak and they have tons of gyspies there.

[NoPasaran]

54. Gypsy Kleeb? Don't do it man!

It sounds like the name of an aging stripper.

[amber dog democrat]

3. Why bother ?

I kind of like mine.

[bigwillq]

11. I like yours too!

:hi:

[amber dog democrat]

53. Thanks

Yours is just fine as well. Unique :)

[ScreamingMeemie]

4. Not me, after much meditation and seemingly endless discussion with

DUers...I decided to keep it, and perhaps work up to mirroring the image it evokes. :hi:

[bigwillq]

12. Glad you kept yours

I think it suits you well. In a good way.:hi:

[TaleWgnDg]

5. Why bother? Tis my other personification, heh.

This is the DU member still known as a DU insomniac. :hi:

[the Princess]

7. Me me me me me

The poster formerly known as Mrs.COLiberal.

[bigwillq]

14. I liked your former screen name better

I thought it was cute.

But now you are able to make yuor own identity here on DU!:hi:

[the Princess]

20. Well I like Princess better! LOL

[bigwillq]

24. Well well well, thePrincess has spoken

EXCUSE ME!!!!:hi:

[amber dog democrat]

55. CoLiberal is better

When I see "princess " I think of a telephone. :)

[CO Liberal]

66. I Had Suggested Her First Name....

...to kinda give my wife a "jump start" here on DU. But it turned out that she didn't need it - she fit in just fine, and came into her own here on DU in a very short time.

I'm proud that she has assumed her own identity. It's one of the things I love about The Princess - she's her own person, and not afraid to speak her mind, and stand up for what she believes.

:loveya:


This is the DU member still known as CO Liberal.

[amber dog democrat]

68. Well good for her

This is someone you want to hang with anyway.
Long live the Princess !
:)

[Bat Boy]

8. I've been waiting for this opportunity for a long time...

Everyone called me Bat Boy anyway.

[bigwillq]

16. Why-

They call you BAT BOY?


I like your name change, btw!

[Bat Boy]

19. I think I was the first person on the board...

To put a picture of Bat Boy in their sig line.

ZombyWoof started calling me Bat Boy, and it stuck.

[bigwillq]

23. OK. You mean Bat Boy

like in relation to Bat Man?

I'm confused.

[Bat Boy]

31. No, I mean...

Bat Boy!

[bigwillq]

33. Oh, don't know who that is

But congrats on your new name!:hi:

[Bat Boy]

34. Check out the Weekly World News....

Next time you're in line at the grocery store, look for copies of The Weekly World News. Bat Boy will show up eventually.

[bigwillq]

35. Thanks for the tip

-Will

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

58. Yeah, Bat Boy has been a regular in that paper for

years now.

[KeepItReal]

9. Thinking about becoming "PerpWalkerBush"...should I??

Either way, I'll stay keepin it real...

[bigwillq]

18. Me personally, wouldn't want my screen name to have

any form of "BUSH" in the title but that's just me.

[KeepItReal]

25. Roger that!

I can still dream about him and his crew being perp-walked, though.

[amber dog democrat]

41. I'd rather be called Cithulu if that was the only other choice.

or Windows NT.... and them's fighting words.

[Skip Intro]

13. Going to

Not really nu anymore.

But to what, I have no idea.

[bigwillq]

30. How about-

Notnu_duer

[Skip Intro]

36. I was pondering un_duer, but I need some personality in my name

thanx for the suggestion

[bigwillq]

38. How bout the old porn name game

You know, name of first pet + name of street you live on.

[Skip Intro]

45. Never heard of that one

First pet...Rambler, I guess. And street I live on - Ives.

Ramber_Ives.

deinitely original

hey, "Buck Naked" isn't taken either....

:evilgrin:

[bigwillq]

47. Both of those are really good!

Mine would be

Fluffy Arlene!

[jdots]

15. too much work.........way too much work

using the same dopey name everywhere is part of the quest for obscurity on both the internets.

[DemoTex]

17. I thought about it, since I no longer live in Texas.

But DemoNC didn't really melt my butter. Besides, I still have my links to Texas. My great-great-great uncle was Sam Houston's vp and the second president of the Republic of Texas, Mirabeau Bonaparte Lamar. Also, I still have a Texas Democrat sticker on my Subaru wagon. I'll stay DemoTex. That has worked for over 42 months now. Besides, Skittles would kick my ass if I changed my DU name.

:scared:

[bikebloke]

21. The new one is more me

I use it most everywhere else. And just in time. Crusader Asscroft is off to bust down doors looking for that caledoni sinner.

[StrongbadTehAwesome]

26. I wasn't going to originally

but I saw a Strongbad joke on the name change thread and thought, "Hey, that suits me a lot better!" My former SN was a name I originally wanted to name a future daughter, but later decided that it wouldn't work with my last name, so I started using it on the internets instead. I wasn't very attached to it, though; my new name is a much better method of showing just how big a dork I am.

Plus, when we get avatars back, I have a dancing StrongBad av!

[bigwillq]

27. Congrats on your new name!

And I always new you were a huge dork!:hi:

[Mr. Brown of MD]

28. I decided to change mine

I'm not gonna be in college forever, and better not to be thought of as a college student upon seeing my SN as long as I post on DU, heh. When I first joined DU it was over three years ago (don't mind the faulty date in my profile) and I couldn't even imagine a time that I would not be in college yet, let alone that I would still be on DU at that time.

Now, well, let's just say that maybe some day the clerk will call the roll and this is what he or she will say. :)

-Mark
Delusions of grandeur

[-..__...]

29. I did.

Now I'll probably be the most recognized poster on DU... even if I didn't post it. :+

Why not, even in real life I got blamed for shit I never did. O8)

[bigwillq]

32. I just noticed your new screen name

and I love it! We need more jokesters around here.:toast:

[Skip Intro]

37. Very good

cheers here too

:toast:

[Kathy in Cambridge]

40. That's great!

:D

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

39. Nope.

:)

[bigwillq]

49. Your name is classic

I'm glad you're keeping it!:hi:

[VOX]

42. I did.

I never cared much for my original username, and would have scrapped it sooner, except that I was racking up a considerable post count.

When Skinner announced the amnesty, I jumped on the chance.

KrazyKat just is more memorable, more expressive, and more reflective of who I am -- I like cats, of course, and I'm an art lover, and I particularly appreciate the work of George Herriman, the creator of Krazy Kat.

:thumbsup:

[bigwillq]

50. I like the name change

Anything with "Krazy" in it always works.:hi:

[bobthedrummer]

43. 4ever I'm bobthedrummer-so I voted No.

:hi:
:smoke:

[bigwillq]

51. Glad you kept yours!

:hi:

[Kathy in Cambridge]

44. I'm changing too

just haven't decided.

RationalKathy?
KathyMasshole?
Kathy_from_MA?
RedSoxBlueNation?

[JohnKleeb]

48. yay you considered mine Kathy

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

56. Noooo

I like yours :(

It will mess up my name association if you change it!

[ralps]

46. My screen name stands for recovering artist + my initials LPS

It's my screen name for all the various websites I go to
:hi:

[On the Road]

52. I Keep Thinking I'll Get Rid of Ribofunk

I'm 50 years old, for God's sake, and I've been using it since the 1980's. But nothing seems inspired, and people know me by it. I like the William-Kennedyesque 'Ironweed,' but it sounda like a hobo, a stoner, or an alcoholic. I could use my real name ('JackNeefus'). That' the real choice here. A week and a half left.

[meow2u3]

57. My new name describes what I stand for better

I'd like to see this country stop going from one extreme to the other--and fast! I think we should see the pendulum stop swinging and have a happy medium for this nation to thrive, both on our own soil and in the eyes of the world. Hence, the name StopThePendulum.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

59. I didn't really like my first user name.

Zing Zing Zingbah is the name of the orange boohbah on the "Boohbah" show on PBS (it's similar to the "Teletubbies"). My two-year-old son watches the show sometimes, and he likes it. So the name is meaningful to me in that it represents something my son enjoys. I also like it because it's a fun, memorable kind of name that's just a little bit over-the-top in terms of silliness.

The other boohbahs' names are Humbah, Jumbah, Zumbah, and Jingbah. I get a kick out of all those names, but Zing Zing Zingbah is definitely the zaniest name of the bunch.

[TOhioLiberal]

60. I did...

...not because it was political, but because I've been thinking about it for a while now.

[Forkboy]

61. I'm tempted to change to Osama McDonald

it has a nice ring to it :)

If I dont use it someone else should!

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

63. I like that one too.

It conjures up visuals of Bin Laden wearing overalls, a straw hat, and carrying a pitch fork. E-i-e-i-o!

[MrSandman]

62. Don't even know why I chose this one...nt

[Lady Sonelle]

64. I Was Unperson 309

and I got kicked off right after the election! Why? *shrug* got no idea!

Lady Sonelle

[American liberal]

65. mine suits me even if I no longer suit 51% of America *pshaw* eom

[terrya]

67. No, I don't see any point in it...at least for me.

terrya is fine with me.
