    Mine is a bit of a no brainer. Was pregnant and DUE in AUGust. Could have been duemay the following year and then tubestied or legscrossed after that;)


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,537 ✭✭✭joseph brand


    Mine's supposed to be shortened to Jo Brand, like yer one. But I don't think anyone gets it. They call me Joseph or Joe. But I get by. I think of all the good things in the world and just take each day as it comes. :rolleyes:

    I love mine :D
    I made it up when I was drunk one night, it doesn't mean anything. It seems to confuse people, but mostly plants the vague idea of hobbit porn in their dirty little minds.

    I love mine.

    In hindsight, I may have went just a tad a bit overboard with the a's.

    nice assssss:D

    The worst is if you hate your username and change it, then nobody knows who the hell you are so you have to go back to the old name or just be that dude nobody knows with 20,000 posts.

    feels good having my username changed without having to subscribe :cool:

    I regret that mine is too good!

    I want to close my account for the year while at college and maybe come back, but I don't wanna lose my username.


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    At. Every. Beers.

    There's something odd about saying mine out loud.

    If only there was a boards.ie patch you could have to help you cut down!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,207 ✭✭✭jaffacakesyum


    I don't really regret mine even though it's a bit stupid.

    I'm just glad I was eating something interesting when I created my account :pac:


  • Registered Users Posts: 49 Paddysboys


    Some day I'll have my own account that I don't have to share with my 9 brothers


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 587 ✭✭✭Planemo


    having the name of a not-funny-anymore (if ever) viral video from over 5 years ago?
    nope, no regrets

    If you're, as I suspect you are, a young Frank McCourt, then don't worry. Consumption and forced emigration will help free up some time on the computer.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,389 ✭✭✭FTGFOP


    I'm far too good for ordinary problems.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,438 ✭✭✭✭El Guapo!


    Yep.
    It's no longer 2009
    :(

    I wanna subscribe and change mine soon but I've no idea what to change it to!

    Dean12? Or you could be ahead of the times and be Dean25


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,349 ✭✭✭✭super_furry


    I would have like to at least have been aware of the yiffing Furries before creating this account. The Super Furry Animals are still a great band, but not what everyone thinks of when they see Furry.

    Pixie-Rapist perhaps? :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,028 ✭✭✭✭--LOS--


    I used not like mine coz it was a lazy choice but I like it now, sounds like a real name when people address me. Does always seem like everyone's shouting at me though on boards :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,872 ✭✭✭strobe


    The lack of a capital letter at the start of mine causes me untold pain. I've considered subscribing many times for no other reason than to change that one thing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,731 ✭✭✭GreenWolfe


    The reaction to my username is mostly "I knew he'd pick something almost unpronounceable!".

    No regrets. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,202 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    No,but it is somewhat hard to convince people to do a trade through the post.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,238 ✭✭✭humbert


    Happy with mine. Actually there are a few people I've met through boards who still use it in lieu of my real name.


  • Registered Users Posts: 98 ✭✭Mickey Lover


    I think I'm happy enough with mine :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,229 ✭✭✭✭J. Marston


    No regrets but annoyed that it couldn't be just ''Marston'' because someone has an 8 year old account with 3 posts that took that name. Up yours, Marston!

    (You'll never read this....)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,676 ✭✭✭✭herisson


    Pixie-Rapist perhaps? :pac:

    bahahaha...sounds kinky! ;)

    knowing me it probably will have rapist in there hahaha


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,272 ✭✭✭Captain Graphite


    I'm the only one who really gets mine. Should probably change it to something that isn't just an in-joke between me and me. :(

    (I'm named after the pet pencil I had on Bebo. Clearly I was, and still am, the epitome of cool.....)


  • Registered Users Posts: 79 ✭✭Thoms Yorkie Bars


    None. Dedicated to the greatest lead singer in a band called Radiohead alive.

    Although I have another account which uses my real name, which I regret :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 262 ✭✭narfsnonsense


    Happy enough with mine. Even the small n doesn't bother me which is unusual!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 287 ✭✭pushki


    People presume i'm polish :-/


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,406 ✭✭✭✭Vicxas

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,762 ✭✭✭✭stupidusername


    i started to regret mine a while back, was going to change it after subscribing, but then so many people said oh no don't change it, it's great etc, so I felt like I couldn't.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 445 ✭✭LostCorkGuy


    I'm happy with mine , if anything i want to highlight the CORK bit with capitals bold and italics , maybe even underline it , you know just so everyone see cork :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 16,500 ✭✭✭✭DEFTLEFTHAND


    Ya mine wasn't to be permanent, I didn't realise at the time that you had to subscribe to change it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,195 ✭✭✭✭Michellenman


    I get fairly tyred of mine from time to time.

    :p


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,808 ✭✭✭FatherLen


    i am still fairly happy with mine. its my user name for nearly everything and so far i am the only fictional fatherlen on the net. i say fictional because there is probably a priest called len with a facebook page somewhere. feckin priests.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,425 ✭✭✭guitarzero


    I dislike my username. But it could be worse, I could have called myself 'Logical Fallacy', imagine that! Ha!

    Uggh!!!!
