Thread: A rose by any other name...

  1. #1

    A rose by any other name...

    All right, I'm tired of it. My screen name, that is. It was totally on impulse back in January. I don't even really care for the song it's the title of that much any more.

    Therefore....

    What should my new name be?

    (I'm being serious here. Nothing ridiculous, please?)

    When it comes to making screennames I think that interests, song titles, nicknames or combinations of your current name or your current name and old names and such help. Maybe a liiiist. :3

    I think your current suits you, but I suppose...

    What other names have you used? Apart from your real one XD?

    I already did all of that though. Twilight Paladin= interests (a Final Fantasyish name I came up with), and then I changed it to Justin, which is my name, and then Poetically Pathetic is a song title by Amber Pacific. D:

    I think that making your screenname from something that your are currently interested in, such as song titles, nicknames, bands, games, etc. to not good because that means that when you lose interest you will again be wanting to get your name changed. It's far better (and more approvable by those who will actually be changing your name ) that you stick with something that you will not get bored with, but reflects who you really are.

    Well, my current one does kind of sort of reflect who I am. I just don't like it much anymore, it was just an impulse switch I made back in January because I thought just using my real name as a user name was kind of boring.

    Yeah, that is true. That was the case with my first screenname. I like mine a lot because it's a nickname that I was called and that I enjoyed. I also liked the sound of it. :3

    Don't you dare change your name. I like it

  13. #13
    I like your name too. Tickle Me Emo is pretty fantastic, though. xD

    Or Poetically Prolific. But I still think you've got a good name, and you should stick with it.
