    I used to be Morsmordre until I decided it was a crap name, so changed to BarmyArmy, which is much better.

    Someone else has the original Sarevok nick, so I have to put a dumb circle thingie after mine, I'm waiting for Tal to remove his account, since he only has 39 posts, and 4 years of inactivity :D
    It's taken me a while to get used to some of the nick and avatar changes here.

    As Felinoid said, my PDN used to be chevalier des Trois-Tours, although my original login name has always been chevalier. I dropped the latter part because it was just asking for typos and it was too hard on people to type when talking to me, as well. ;)

    I just notice how frequently nicks get changed as of late. Maybe there's something in the water? :hmm: Mine's been kuemper on the DnD/BG boards, though my nom de plume for internet writing is Dancer.

    Just for the record, this is what I send to people who change their names more than once:

    "Hello.

    I've noticed that you've changed your publicly displayed named recently. Please note that the ability to change your name is there to be used maybe once after the initial registration (in case you've messed something up there), and at best once again after that. It is NOT there so that you can change it whenever you feel like it.

    Changing your name is an annoyance to everyone around you, because it confuses people when someone changes their name in mid-post, references to their previous name in threads become obsolete and confusing to everyone who's not aware that they've had a different handle previously, and so on.

    So please think carefully, pick a name you'll be happy with and stick with it. Thank you."

    If I was asked to choose a nickname now, I would take something else than Morgoth, something less evilish.
    But I have gotten attached to it now, and I'll never change it :)

    @Tal
    I remember getting one with the stop-using-the-bloody-coffee-smilie-as-signature!! request :D
    Just checked, and I don't have it anymore, too bad (feeling a little bit nostalgic)

    Hmmm...way back in time, when I first joined the BoM, my username was 'buzz142010', which at the time was my preferred nick...I changed it to 'Kitrax' about a week later. Ever since 'Kitrax' has been the only nick I've ever used on any message board. :rolling:

    I changed from Saber the Arsonist to just Saber, mostly because I prefer the single part, and I think when I registered, someone already had Saber. In any case, It's only been once, and it will only ever be once (Saber is my favorite name.)

    I was Dungeon Master for about a year and half and then I changed it to Ofelix, because I was sick of people calling me DM and it was confusoing because Death Mage was also called DM. But I won't change it I love Ofelix Too much...

    @Chevalier; I always though Chevalier des trois tours was a nice name, never had problem with it either ;)

    When I first registered it was Loviatar, but upon my first appearance in the FAI I found out Loviatar is a female goddess, not a male god as I had thought (boy was that embarrassing). I then changed it to Eldular a few hours later, hoping no one had noticed :rolleyes: . Don't plan on changing it for obvious reasons.

    Rastor's nick has been the same since he registered (well before most people around today it seems) although the tagline has changed once.

    I have always thought I should change my nick... It seems sorta pretentious...

    "Thinker"...?

    What the hell does that mean? Who doesn't think? Oh well...

    Not sure what I would change it to...

    Plus, how would people recognize the new nick was me?

    @LNT:
    Not at all. I too used to be a late-night thinker (until I ran out of pleasant subjects), and it's a good way to describe someone who ponders the wonders and blunders of the universe when by all rights you ought to be sleeping. :happy:
