Best Name on ABCTales

Heh, pepsoid reminds me of the bilious attacks I had as a kid! Hitchhaiku is class ... blimey, am searching some distant part of my brain that stores 'shit-like-this" ... micro-christ (I cheated, saw that on another post and remembered he used to post here) mykle (sorry, that's me taking the piss) mandy_lifeboats or was it lifebelts? Can't remember. (old puns are the best puns. But where is she now?) Tim_Smillie that always cracked me up Ooops! There's loads more but since the search facility is kaput I can't dig up the half-remembered names that are on the tip of some-one else's thong.

OK - so I've got an advantage and can scroll through the names on here. Here's some I really like that have popped up in the past month: anonymouszebra like_a_dasiy_girl SkankyPanky ivoryfishbone musemaiden shamslidy carrotcabbagewinter animalsoul words on skin tripewriter They seem to tell us something more about the writers concerned.

Well personally I can't stand my username and am always toying with changing it. Pepsoid reminds me of indigestion and/or hemorroids. (sorry peps) Enzo how about just changing yours to Ben, as you always sign after your posts anyway? Oh and whilst clicking the random story button today I came across a poem by Dogpoo..fancy having that for your username! I tend to like the made up names rather than 'real' ones such as Rachelouisebrown, I think they show a bit of thought and imagination in their choice. My favs include Narcissa Purplehaze Barely Black Francis..(although it had to be explained to me) Pesnikinja..(or Pesky) Spack Ivoryfishbone

Yeah, I could change mine to my name but it's a little dull. I need more silly-bells, I think. That's my problem with Enzo - four letters, two syllables is all wrong. Bad feng-shui of the word aesthetic. Or something. I need a holiday. Anonymouszebra is great, by the way. Ben.. www.thedevilbetweenus.com

I like the names gingeresque and sheepshank. Any other stories behind names. maddan was just something a computer game called me once.

I suddenly feel so boring. Maybe it's time for a change? Lisa

Let's all try & think of a new name for Lisa! :-) * P * :-)

Sayin Is Hell Ermmmm, this could be Lisa’s new name, It’s a thingy - minds gone blank - you know all the letters jumbled up making a new word. And thus being a writing site - sayin = writing, which is hell, well frustrating sometimes, ha ha, nuts am I, I think so! Ps. I’ve copyrighted that name so don’t even think about using it Lisa lol Em.

I like Flash

Lisa can't call herself Flash, Flash. It would be too confusing.

How about ginjubbly? I'm ginger and a cup is full person. (not gin for the drink, I'm more of a Baileys kind of gal) I like pixie, but I bet that's gone already. *potters off to go and look* Lisa

just discovered BaronVonBonBon which is by far my favourite name, does a nice line in rude poetry too

No

funky seagull fergal cos it reminds me of fergal sharkey

I liked my old one - Fatalky - but Miss Pippi got cross with me; said that I was condemning myself to a life of obesity and alcoholism. I did wonder what his point was. I had thought of Aye Bin Phatalque but styxbroox is o.k. My surname is Brooks and I'm a drummer. Jageddit?

I'm thinking about adding a stop filter on any forum post or comment which contains more than one question mark or exclamation mark in succession. Not for any legitimate reason, just because it annoys the crap out of me. ---- John H

Eep, just found this thread, thanks Enzo and camus :) I've been relieved to have no Harry Potter references directed at me since I joined (and I've been here a looong time!) My faves would have to be.... chant donignacio purplehaze Ach, I can't remember any of them now, there are some really original names that I love when I see them (I point and go "oooh") but just when I want to remember them... Well, anyway, I'll post if I remember some. Am pathetic.

Fingers. If you can make the multiple !!!??? ban happen my life will be made so much better. I don't want to admit it because I get the feeling that Ritaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaeeeeeeeeeee knows (and loves the fact) that it it winds people up but surely she must be getting repititive strain injury from all those eeeeeees? I'd rather she spoke in txt spk. Which is bad enough. Oh yeah, and I've often considered changing Spack because, really, it is a little bit offensive. I chose it thinking I would probably never use this website and now its four years later. It's a nice sounding word though, I think: spack. As for my favourite name: D. Beswetherick has the most satisfying texture. Joe

Hmm, I don't actually remember saying you were condemning yourself to anything. I just couldn't make up my mind whether you were saying you are a 'fat alky' or whether you were saying the use of KY is fatal. Neither seem very tasteful, but then it's your prerogative to call yourself whatever you wish. I'd hate to think you really changed your name on my account. Live with it John, if you install a filter it will only result in ever more ingenious ways to circumvent it.

John, how soon can you activate it?
