Would you swap your name for your handle

Zaph

Wouldn't mind too much, it's not the sort of nickname that would sound totally ridiculous if someone shouted to me in the street.

Zaph is an insult where I'm from. Normally spelled Sap, but would be pronounced the same.

heyjude

Yes why not, it would be pretty cool really.

So would you swap your boring name paul...

Paul isn't so bad of a name ;_;

People with more regular usernames would be better equipped to adopt their handle as a real name... but still i wouldn't change. Boards.ie meet-ups have enough of it.

Red Hand

This prophet wouldn't change his name for love nor money. Think I may be the only Jeremiah on boards...

Stephen

<-- hmm.

Hagar

But, but I am Hagar.

Pigman II

This wasn't the origin of my handle ...

... but after subsequently watching it and hearing it spoken aloud with such gusto, disguist and general hilarity I would DEFINETLY like to have it as a name.

GhostInTheRuins

Although I regret choosing the handle I've got I really wouldn't mind people calling me Jesus. I would probably be egged by bible bashing Jesus freaks for blasphemy though

Schism

I'd do it cos it wouldnt make any difference, it'd be shortened to Jim anyway!

Oman

would be kind of useless i mean Oman Owen whats the difference. not much

AlmightyCushion

I like my name but it would make things a lot more hilarious if I had my boards name especially my days working in tesco. "staff call, almighty cushion spillage aisle 3"

Steve_o

My Name is Steve....friends call me Steveo so its not a problem for me!!!

Robert ninja

I'd swap Robert D for Robert Ninja any day.

Acid_Violet

My bitrh name was uncommon, until I went to a Gaelscoil and there were two other Cliodhna/Cliona's in my class! If I dropped the bit that turns litmus blue I'd like it, acid violet is a bit of a mouthful........but I like it still!

johnp

There's not a hope in hell I'd change my name for my handle.

connundrum

No, everyone would spell my name wrong.

Actually everyone spells my surname wrong as it is, so much of a muchness tbh

DarkJager

Yeah I would, but I'd have to buy a long flowing cape first for dramatic effect.

Just as well Zaph rhymes with "safe" then, isn't it?

It's shortened from Zaphod Beeblebrox (Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy, for those unfamiliar with the name), and I definitely wouldn't change it to that as it's too much of a mouthful.

Slow Motion

I could live with using my boards name, but people would probably be surprised to find out that it doesn't relate to my mental alacrity !

Yeah, we'd have to call you Very Slow Motion instead.;)

As for Jimoslimos, nah, I'd get fed up of skangers requesting stretch pink Hummers for hen parties.
