If you were to change your screen name, what would it be? Are you happy with what it is now? Ever think of a better one and wish you could change it?
 
Yeah. On almost every other GT board out there I'm known as Tommy
But there already is a Tommy here (not with a capitol T just tommy)
I guess that kind of things happen when you have a common name like me..


Tom. :rolleyes:
 
i always think of better names once i have registered my screen name.....by then its too late, when i registered my name i had like 20 attempts but the names i chose were already in use...so out of frustration i chose TurboSmoke which is a stupid name because i dont think turbos actually produce much smoke....

anyway if i could change my name i would change it to 'Road Kill Recipies'

there was an article in my local MTB mag with what to do with hedgehoggs or chickens that you accidently hit while cycling and i liked the title....

so if i get banned here and you see a new member with that name, you'll know its yours trully...:mischievous:

I'm kinda used to my Screen Name, it works for me in real life too.

I'm always really poor at thinking up witty names, so I woul dprobably default to my nickname at work, which is The Dark Lord.
 
well after so many nicknames regulate kinda has that "damn" ring to it, and it always seems to make someone laugh so its the best one i could come up with at the time, plus its stuck with me now and i cant help to say, yall been regulated...



edit: other names ive used, regulate4ever
regulate4life
vageta_0
kaizer
and others that escape me at the time.
 
i suck at coming up with good nicknames as well so i used my name. if i could change it, it'd be one of these 2:
eMadman or eMad Hatter
 
My previous screen name was probably the worst screen name ever. So when some crazy Australian bloke kept calling me race idiot I had my name changed. Yeah, I really do like this name I wouldn't want it changed again.

Other names I occasionally use Are Hoopy Frood and Idiot Race.
 
Yes William, your screen name is great!

I was actually thinking about this not to long ago and I like my screen name. I like it's shortened version (Boom) as it's only one syllable so quick to say when playing online games that have voice capabilities. I've also used it as a screen name at other boards.

Is this thread a prelude of what's to come milefile?
 
My name is great, same as real life. Except most people just say "Ghost", or refer to me as "The Ghost", but who cares.

Now if AOL didn't have a ban on any name containing "ghost" I'd be set.

But i'm happy with the one i have now.

Mr. Holland is much better. ;)
 
I really can't stand my screenname now... I'd rather see PR, as that's how most people call me over here, and pretty much everywhere else. Or maybe PeeArr... Bah, i don't care, really.
 
Well, I started out as just "Duke", but like others found that was taken at a lot of boards. I never did get the numbers thing so I just added "neon_" in front because I frequented a bunch of car boards. It's not great but it was an easy way to be consistent. I suppose I'll stick with it after I sell the cars, because a lot of people call me "neon" online.
 
I think of new, better-than-milefile names all the time. Curiously, I can't think of a single one at the moment.

My wife actually came up with milefile, before she was my wife. We were setting up a shared email and she suggested the first four setters of my lastname and the first four letters of her maiden name: milefile. I've been using it for years. And it's never already taken.
 
I too hate my screen name. I really suck at thinking up nicknames and screen names, so when I first got the internet when I was in 6th grade I found a message board about these action figures called "Ultimate Soldiers" (like GI-Joes except 10 times better. I used to collect them) and my brother told me you should always put numbers at the end of your screen name (why? I don't know)he was older than me so I believed him. I also loved the movie Jurassic Park at the time and thought that raptors were the coolest thing in the world so the stupid name of "Raptor65" came to be. Ever since then I've never wanted to waste my time racking my brain trying to come up with something cool so I just put Raptor65.
 
I'd get rid of the 101 at the end of my name. The only reason I add it is because it's always available on every site I sign up on. Otherwise I would just use Ethix.
