    Idk, if I hadn't done my own name, it would probably be some strange philosophical phrase or something associated with James Joyce. Most likely I would've just used some word that I really liked the sound of like "awake" or "disquietude" or "touch".

    I know, I'm weird.


    Off-topic: In regards to your signature papayahead; I do and I do but I always do not.

    I've used Erendis before. She's another Tolkien character, one who had a miserable marriage and become incredibly bitter so it fits but I think it would be fun to move beyond Tolkien. I would go with Sif, from Norse mythology. I would give some serious thought to Freya but I don't think I could really pull that off.

    I cannot think of anything. I have had this nickname for so many years (both off and online), I cannot imagine using any other name. Hard to change after almost 20 years.

    Maybe that is a reason in itself to consider different names.

    Hey, this has "a new forum game" written all over it!

    I know. I've been papayahed for quite a while now, would I be the same if my screen name was "pustule"??? And how long would it take for everybody to get used to the change??

    I would certainly not think the same of you if you were named pustule! I would gag a little every time I saw your name and then slowly but surely completely avoid you to stop the constant gagging.

    Grand ruler of the universe has a nice ring to it, but I consider Aimus Sage to be the best name ever!! Plus, I'm already the king of Mars, the infinite universe and what's left of the turnip nation after the great famine. (It's not so glorious anymore) Blast you guinea pigs! Blast you all to hell!

    I always wanted to be a great archer, so I would very likely go with something like "Legolas" , "William Tell" or "Aster of Amphipolis"

    However, archery is not my only interest, for which reason I'm very likely to come back to this thread

    Hmmm... I go by 'Archetype' (big fan of Jung!) on some of the less literary forums I visit, but I chose this name because its a brilliant poem, and I always smile to see it on my posts!

    well seeing as i did end up with my own name... my other alias is Blackannis. Fairy lore and all that.
    Not sure what else i'd choose... something mythical i imagine.

    Can't say that I know what I would change too... Something to do with the sea, but I guess I would have to think long an hard. Changing has crossed my mind a time or two, but I guess I'm just me, so no point in changing my name

    As I have always been a fan of the red rose, then I would change mine to "Red Rose" (thornless - of course)

    I've always thought that "Magic Power Ring" would be a cool name screen name.
