Patsy is an amusing character, I concur.

But it's an awful forum name, IMO!

When I clicked on Patsy, the images conjured up in my head were of a 65yr old, balding farmer from the midlands with a droopy eye. Seriously. But then again that just could have been because I know someone who goes by the name Patsy that fits that description.

LOL

Yeah, it is a strange name all right. It does also remind me of a balding muinteoir from Irish college, who also went of that name. Ah well, the mob hath spoken already and a name change already occured. Quite unique, but you can't please all of the people all of the time

tallaght01

Well, in fairness, the "mob" haven't spoken. 8 people spoke.

The name isn't hugely important I guess. But you're going to struggle to get new members to click on a forum called "patsy". I think that's the only issue. You should definitely change it.

When I first saw a forum called beer guts and receeding hairlines, I knew exactly what it would be about, and I wasn't disappointed

Anyway, that's just my 2 cents. I'll go back to the brothers now for more willy chat.

Maybe more will click it out of intrigue?

I really dont think so

I clicked the lipstick and control pants straight away to see what was going on here
Patsy really is a bad name - COME ON CHANGE IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

pat·sy (păt'sē)
n. Slang., pl. -sies.
A person easily taken advantage of, cheated, blamed, or ridiculed.

Hagar

No need to change it so.

We cannot go on and on about the name of the forum, at the end of the day it is what we make it. To quote....

"What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet"

And i knew the patsy thing would come up as Moonbaby as implied!

course we can

It's pretty dreadful, in fairness

Should be at least in someway informative. Otherwise you may aswell name every forum on boards numerically.

Hmm as much as I love Patsy the character and I did initially think it was a good idea for the forum name that was because I actually knew the forum already existed. I don't think we'll get many new people clicking onto it as a forum name, LSCP was much catchier.

Exactly. Using the name of a character from a 15-year-old sit-com is simply too obscure. It doesn't convey what the forum is about (unless it's something as recognisable as Basil Fawlty or something, but Patsy just isn't in that league!).

There's no point making the 'rose by any other name' argument since that's simply not the case. The names of forums need to be clear and direct so that people know exactly what they're getting in to and can choose to click on it. People won't click on something called 'Patsy' cos they don't know what it is.

It's still the early days of the forum so can we re-open the vote please? It seems crazy to choose a name based on the vote of 8 people, especially when there's been so much criticism of it.

I like Patsy but it does look a little odd in the drop-down menu and I do see people's points. Maybe it could be Patsy and something else. To make the name a bit longer and convey a bit more of what we're about?
