    So are there any posters on Boards whos name you'd like to change? Some you dont think are fitting? Some that you just dont know how to pronounce?

    I'd change rb_ie to simple rb as thats how I say it in my head.

    I'd change Thaedydal to Thaed coz thats seems to be what she gets called most (well the most common name that isn't abusive :D).

    So, who would you change and what would you change it to?

    Pighead would change degsy to McSavage and Beruthial to Pigheads Play Thing. Oh and Terry to julep.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,727 ✭✭✭✭Sherifu


    I'd change 6th to Houdini and Pighead to Tarquin.

    Pighead would change Sherifu to Sherry Poo because he's a bit juvenile and childish when it comes to stuff like that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,407 ✭✭✭✭justsomebloke


    someone already has in my case

    Names that you don't know how/ have to be told how to pronounce (sorry r3nu4l!)...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,818 ✭✭✭✭The Hill Billy


    I'd change 'Tom Dunne' to 'Ray Foley'.

    And '6th' to 'Paul Daniels' - more appropriate given his nature of his new modship.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,523 ✭✭✭✭Nerin


    i'd swap Devore's and 6th's names for the laugh dome april fools day.


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 42,362 Mod ✭✭✭✭Beruthiel


    Piggie should be changed to Internet Stalker

    6th to Weirdo

    Thaed changed her name to Thaedydal some time back. Keep up Weirdo.

    Shut up Tarquin. Fintan called. He's ready to play back door raiders with you later on.


    WhiteWashMan to Crocodile Dundee.

    speaking of name changes. i'm gonna get a subscription this weekend and i'm gonna change my name.
    no more jizzlord :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,277 ✭✭✭✭Rb


    The change from 6thsense(iirc) to 6th was a good one, as its definitely what you've always been known as.

    I've considered changing it to Rb alright, it's definitely what people know me as/call me.

    Other changes:

    Always think of Karl Hungus as KH so would probably change that.
    Oresetes to Oreo for obvious reasons

    :confused: Pighead doesn't get it. You seem to be implying that Pighead is a posh fellow from South Dublin, or that he is a member of the homosexual community? But why?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,130 ✭✭✭✭Karl Hungus


    I'd change Pighead to George, as I always imagine him as George Costanza from Seinfeld, but not as witty.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 23,243 Mod ✭✭✭✭godtabh


    I would change 6th's name to Look at Me!Look at Me!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,909 ✭✭✭✭Wertz


    Whatever about changing handles, there should be some sort of rule saying that you need to keep a "formerly known as X" in your sig for a few weeks afterwards...trying to keep up with who's who on these forums is a pain when someone subs, changes sig/av and inserts a user title...all that remains is a postcount and join date which is impossible to ID someone by...

    I would change Pighead's name to Fanny.

    Sure, why not.

    I'd prefer to be just Halo not Irish Halo.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,909 ✭✭✭✭Wertz


    You can only go back 500 posts.
    You've obviously changed handles at some stage, I probably recall your old handle...but I don't know what it was. It doesn't really matter, but I like to know who I'm posting at...
    With any active user, the 500 post limit is only going to take you back a couple of months (mine for instance takes me back as far as 18th Feb)...

    I've changed a few times, it's not that big a deal imo. Usually previous nicks are shown in the profile for a while anyway.

    Enough fo this, back on topic.

    Wertz to User_Tracker.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,216 ✭✭✭✭monkeyfudge


    In a moment of madness I thought about changing my username to Monkeyfudge... luckily I quickly saw the error of that train of thought and stuck with monkeyfudge.

    .

    There's no hope for me. I even had to look up what leet was... :o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,202 ✭✭✭✭Pherekydes


    I'd change 6th to pighead, and pighead to 6th.


    Boards would be utterly confused. :D

    But when pighead was posting would he still refer to himself as pighead? If so, would he still be posting in the third person?

    thats an error you were saved from.

    I fell into it though BlitzKrieg

    I'd assume if someone had the control of changing my name and had met me at a beers, it'll be something along the line of *loud fat drunk with a hat* :D


    Agent Smith to *Right Wing Hat stealing b*sterd*
