Everyone who had a name change, can you please put your regular handle and your new handle here? I'll start. I'm usually Firebird  |

I'm the same!  (also, if you hover your mouse over someone's name, their original '@' name will pop up.) |

Figuring it out ourselves is pretty simple for those posters with avatars. If you don't have one, or have removed it (sneaky, sneaky!) then it is a bit tougher. But, that is a better way to test the original experiment (reference to the other thread where the name change started).

Why the changes anyway, did I miss a thing?  (no reason necessary, just curious!) |

No, we don't walk away. But when we're holding on to something precious, we run.

There was a brief discussion about happy names vs sad/depressing nics and their impact on how you act and are perceived around page 4-5 of Nutty's thread. Dark and Angel are the leaders as far as I know.  Me, it's Fall so we're at the start of people putting on Holiday names for the next 3 months or so anyway. |

Me, it's Fall so we're at the start of people putting on Holiday names for the next 3 months or so anyway.Usually they're somewhat identifiable back to the original person though. That's why I always pick a "Bird" themed Halloween costume. I was Big Bird for 2-3 years, then this year I switched it up and became an Angry Bird until Bonny suggested I switch to Lucky Bird. I couldn't think of a costume for that so I just went with what she said

I am the poster formerly known as Waffle. Let's see if my new happy nic makes me happy. (I'm in a lousy mood today)

I am a sleepy MidJD.
I chose my name in the hopes that my new alert persona would reverse-psych my kid to sleep more than 3 hours at a time.

I wonder if my name change will mean that I continue having good luck for the rest of the month.
Uh oh.... what if I have BAD luck now?
*goes to clarify new name*

Dark and Angel are the leaders as far as I know. Me, it's Fall so we're at the start of people putting on Holiday names for the next 3 months or so anyway. I actually do something like this IRL but never with my screen name. At this point it would feel like changing my name and I don't think that would feel right unless I was running from the law or something. And if I ever did need to run from the law wouldn't this be the group I went to for help? Somebody here would have to have freezer space right?  |

I have about 4 cubic inches of freezer space that all yours beach. |
