Changing my user name? Vote!

[Bombadil]

Because I'm feeling a bit insecure about people in RL finding me here I am thinking of changing my name to something else. I posted my options in "What Are You Thinking" and Marcellow suggested I make a poll. So here it is. Feel free to vote or suggest something else.

And now the small print

The creator of this poll reserves the right to use any name listed on the poll or off the poll regardless of vote count. The creator of this poll is not responsible for any mayhem this poll creates but will take all the credit for any frivolity that occurs. All proceeds from this poll will go to the imaginary hamster fund.

I voted Tofu, Dufous and Nature Guy. Definitely one of those.

[littleredrobinhood]

Metamorph is the best, IMO.

I posted a reply in what are you thinking. But dufous or tofu are my picks. Mmm tofu now me hungry

It's not even possible to change your username here anymore

Yes, it is. It's just that now you have to ask a moderator to change it, whereas before you could change it yourself.

whew. this scared me.

I don't care that people know that I'm trans. But I've been talking some about my past and mental health issues and that made me want to be a bit harder to find. And then I find out my freaky family found out about my transition/name and I do NOT want them finding me here and I could see them doing a search. I know, there are no guarantees since it's a public forum but I don't want to make it easy. I won't be leaving up pictures anymore and I never name where I live, work or refer to my animals by name. So, I try to be careful.

I'm rambling

I should do a 2nd poll. In how many hours will I lose my power. heh.

[Bombadil]

It's looking like Tofu.

But you guys are disappointing me. I was hoping for some rampant silliness. I was hoping for some amazingly ridiculous write-ins.

[immortal gypsy]

Be careful what you wish for my dear friend.....

He who shall not be named

The person formally known as

Mynameis?

We are wolverines!!!!

Im a wolverine (I like this one)

Silly enough for you

[Bombadil]

yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mynameis is pretty awesome

and you mentioned wolverines

have you heard my wolverine line? I have been telling people for years that I am fierce like a wolverine. Because I am! I'm fierce! And I'm small so wolverine is perfect. Really, I'm fierce.

maybe you I should be the Jester. oooo... can I be Susan's Place official jester?

[immortal gypsy]

That's why I mentioned wolverines.

What about Ismabob? It's always been kind of a favorite of mine...

[Bombadil]

dang it, Gyspy, I don't get the 100 points

Ismabob??? you guys are cracking me up.

[immortal gypsy]

dang it, Gyspy, I don't get the 100 points

Ismabob??? you guys are cracking me up.

As I'm an ardent fan of Moby-Dick, I vote for CallmeIsmabob :-P

Tofu seems to be leading, but I voted for the last three on the list as they are furthest from the one you don't want found.  The user name I use here is different from the girl name I use IRL for the simple reason I don't want anyone finding me.  You may want to do a search on "Personally Identifiable Information" and studiously avoid including any of it.  First off would be your real name or any other name you use IRL.  Then you need to avoid reference to where you live, your birthdate, and names of close family members, and the list goes on...

Ismabob is random enough to serve all of these ends, so I add my +++ for this one.

oh!!! well, I got that reference. I was singing it after you posted it. Somehow I thought it was a movie reference you were after.

Then you need to avoid reference to where you live, your birthdate, and names of close family members, and the list goes on...

yep, this is why I never use my pets real names. Since I talk about them a lot and am deeply associated with them.

But you are probably right about Tofu. I was thinking no one in real life calls me that. But my adopted family talked about calling me that so that's probably something to stay away from. I wouldn't care if they found me here but it's still probably too close. Let me see if I can add Ismabob

Although if we are doing novel references, I'd rather be Bombabil

[immortal gypsy]

Well if you want a movie reference.  How about "verbal klint"

I didn't say I wanted a movie reference. I don't know movies. The other one was just so obvious and everyone talks about movies so I assumed there was some movie reference I was missing

A-Tom Bombadil.

yay! now that everyone has pretty much voted I think I'm going to be difficult and do my own thing and go for Tom Bombadil
