Need internet name....
 
I am toying with the idea of having a online name (e.g Kronas, Punky, Incog) . This is mainly because I want a online name to make it more internet like and less personal. I cant think of a good one though.

So any ideas?

Detonator
Defiant
Undisputedpants, but the credit for that one goes to someone else ;)

What's wrong with Damien BTW?

I dunno! Seems to me picking an online name is rather a personal matter.It should reflect you and your interests and as I hardly know you.....

What's wrong with Damien anyway.

Oooh I know.How about Trotter? :)

Defiant? Not again, he'd have to learn how to be a complete moron first.

The position of a capital letter at the start of a word indicates two things.A start of a sentence or a proper noun or name.So from the capital at the beginning of the word Trotter should let you know it's a name.So no,not pigs trotter. :p:

Oh all right then. :D

Does he really need to learn how to be a complete moron?Possibly he has a head start? ;)

If you consider anything even remotely related to Star Trek "cool" I guess, that wasn't the gripe with him though, it was more him being a completely ignorant racist .. a nickname to avoid (just in case)

True, but damien was asking for coolish, impersonal names.

BTW: how did you come up with yours. The reason I ask is that I'm reminded of it occasionally when I walk past a dumpster which (almost) has your name written on it ;)

What ever happened to Defiant anyway?

Also continue with the coolish name thing....It would still be good to have a secound name

Wasn't Bifta a big bully in one of the older comics?

Last time I looked there (which is a reeaaally long time ago), someone suggested he should read a book by Naom Chomsky. My feeling was they don't like him much there either.

Maggy 05-12-2004 01:02

Re: Need internet name....
 
Anyway Damien why do you want a new name? :confused:

Is it to go into the chat room?

I was just in there and frankly it's as bad as a Peachey thread. :D

Damien 05-12-2004 01:07

Re: Need internet name....
 
Nah, I just want a alternative internet name for times when I dont want to be 'Damien'. Basically a impersonal, internet ID, i will also set up an email account in that name and so on.

I will keep Damien for CF and stuff

If you want an impersonal name surely you don't need us for that.I mean you can be Smith,Jones,Brown,Black or Red for impersonal use.

Otherwise why not be Daisy Thunderguts or SpongeBob Squarepants?

Refering to the "complete moron" remark a few posts back, i'm surprised, nobody came up with the line "i'm not a complete moron, parts of me are missing"

Raistlin 05-12-2004 07:18

Re: Need internet name....
 
Damien, tell me if you think that this is totally stooooopid but:

I guess the whole idea behind an impersonal internet persona / name is that it should have the following qualities:

1. The name should be distinct enough from everybody elses that it is instantly recognisable.
2. There should be an element of mystery (that whole, "how did you come up with your name?" thing.
3. It should still be something personal to you.

So, here is what I propose....a simple, elegant name which is personal to you whilst still being distinct enough that people will remember that they have seen it before. You should be able to maintain a certain amount of mystery over how you got the name, although it's related to your real name it shouldn't be too obvious as your real name isn't that common.

So, your new name?

Why not use your porn star name?

The name of your first pet, plus the street you were born in?

I present to you: Bobbi Wilmslow :) !

Raistlin 05-12-2004 14:44

Re: Need internet name....
 
Or, to keep with the festive season (and assuming you didn't like my last suggestion :cry: ) you could use your Christmas Name.

Well an internet anem is one of the hardest things you will ever pick, because you want to make it unique.

from damien raistlins idea was good, neimad, mienda, inamed:
or things like devil, eldiablo, beelzebub, lucyfur, looeycipher, auldnik, 6x3, omen, findingomen, sonof beast :devsmoke:

whatever tickles your fancy and you like is what you should go for.

WoW, what a coincidence.

Strangely, I looked it up a couple of days ago when I first suggested it and that was exactly what it said then as well....... Honest.....:erm:
