I didn't come up with the name The Egg. That is sooo stupid and I hate it now. :doh:

Does anyone else have stories of usernames they regret?

I'd like to change it someday (can I?). I can't think of anything better though. Nothing appropriate anyway... :confuse:

I've only ever had screen names that one way or another tied in with my real name and I probably always will. That said I have registered on a couple of forums using only my initials as my screen name, but even there I used an e-mail addy that contains my full name so the admins know who I am

Same as Goy. Only ever used screen names tied to my own name and always include my name in profiles and posts. Username here a bit abreviated although, no secret who I am.

Easiest way to go.

You should get a new username. Call yourself newegg.

Maybe it's because I started in a totally different era of computers ( Commodore 64 ) and NO ONE used their real names, but I've had several aliases in my time.. Ever since coming to the PC and getting into sim-racing though, I've always used my real name for the most part, unless it pertains to my music creation or former C=64 activities..

Maybe it's that ego-trip of seeing my name in lights and whatnot on the leaderboards or things such as that.. Or perhaps it was just laziness.. I typically carry the FBR tag in my username in reference to FBR Motorsports, the sim-racing outfit I created back in 1997 or so.. But I always sign my posts, as many others do, with my real name..

Ti 2ble=Double Gr R is the nickname my kids game me one day along time ago. Other then that I also use some form of my real name.

Dan,

Everytime I see one of your posts that goes through my head and I get a kick out of it everytime. :bg:

That would fit.

That's a good yolk, Ryan...

Frankly, Egg, I think you'd be cracked to get a new name. I mean, what else could beat "the egg"? Now if you shell out some cash, I'm sure someone would be glad to hatch one out or take a crack at it. Might have one nested in a good location. However, if you got a bad one, you'd just have yolk on your face...

:nutcase:

Cheers!
