Is it normal to wonder what would be our new names?

For some reason, we're told we all have to pick new usernames that bear no resemblance to our old ones. Is it normal to wonder what we'd all pick and whether any of us would recognise each other in our new guises?

Apologies to dom180, by the way, as the inspiration for this question was blatantly thieved from his profile.

    I'd like to change mine to Mom so people would listen to me.
    I said, I'd like to... Oh forget it! Arseholes, just shutup. I'm right and you're wrong and that's it, end of story!

  • NeuroNeptunian

    I have a few that I have gone by on forums in the past...

    Skyling
    Spectriss/Spectre
    58Fury
    Or quite possibly... Batman.

    I'd probably go with Skyling. I'm more accustomed to it (by virtue of years of useage on a now defunct community forum) than NeuroNeptunian, but I like NeuroNeptunian better.

    I kind of miss being Skyling.

    Mata.Hari is too commonplace, yet I'd still consider it.

    MollyBloom is fantastic. Couldn't read Joyce's Ulysses in its entirety, but I have played (errrm, for the sake of veracity, so to speak) her monologue. Definitely an option.

    Madeleine. It's so many things, yet it's just a name. Meaningful and meaningless. If I were to go by one name, no last name, this would be it.

    Morelliana. Very specific reference to a whole universe: Hopscotch. Which is another one I'd like to go by.

    For me, ShreddedWheat. I'd be the tough guy of IIN and also I could travel around on the heads of bald men as a fashionable, edible toupee.

      It's so unfair that you get the Cereal name:O! Now I sound creepy for saying my new name would be Cheerios! I'm being completely serious as well. In fact, on quite a lot of sites my username is Cheerios!

      Grrrrrrrrrr! First fruit and now cereal!D:

        Scary! We're in some kind of cosmic synchronicity. What could it mean? Is the cosmos telling us that we need to market our own brand of fruity cereal bars? Are we the new Nutri Grain? Is it at all relevant that it starts with Nut? :O

        • bananaface

          We had this conversation: No nuts!:P

          Seriously though, I don't like this! I feel like a copy cat, even though I came up with both names by myself. -_-

          I'm going to have a good think about this. I like this question a lot. I'm starting to think sofort is more and more fitting. It's German for immediately. I love German, and I often consider myself to be too impatient. Especially when I come up with names.:P

            Something about the sight of you wagging your finger sternly and saying "No nuts!" almost made me choke (especially as I am actually eating nuts right now. Well, just finished, but I still have nutbits in my mouth). :P

            Aww, you're not a copy cat. I've only been cereal for a few months. You were probably cereal first. And my fruitness wasn't discovered for a while. It's not copying. We just have brains that think the same. God. Poor you! >:D

              Pfft, there is no way on earth my brain thinks like yours does! I don't think I like sharing so many similarities with someone, though. Makes me feel like everything I say is me being a copycat, even though it isn't.-_-

              But I do apologise for almost making you choke!:O Who would I be evil to if you went and choked?!>:P I still stand by what I said though: NO NUTS!

  • dappled

    Well, umm, Frosties, maybe? :P

    I told someone once that I'd come back as "puddled" but I guess it's too much like dappled. It'd have to be something different from what I've used elsewhere or worlds might collide. I could get away with aasvogel because it's something that's not Google-able. Having said that, while everyone started out being very nice and calling me vogel or vogs, it wasn't long before I became aaswipe.

    Off, the top of my head, I'd want something with imagery. dappled is all very well but you can't do much with it (apart from apple, dappy juice, and Dapoeira).

    In my mind, it's a toss-up between C3PO, cheesesandwich, and Gengar.

    Trilobite
    Petrichor
    Sans Pépins
    Enigma (I have actually used this or something similar to it on what was a forum. I didn't use it that much because the forum was quite lifeless and I got weirded out by its draconian terms, some of which I'm pretty certain are illegal. O_O)
    Blitzkrieg
    LePhantome

    This is surprisingly a little hard.I tend to keep words and names in the back of my mind often so, I may have have to come back to this. :)
