I wish when people selected a user name

I guess I am one of those with a difficult name. Though it makes perfect sense to me :D Nd (and) Y (why) nt (not).
In all the forums I joined in the past week...I tried all forms of Nona. And gave up. And it was rather my mindset, as I searched through numerous forum sites.
I have no attachment to Ndynt. Can try to change it, if anyone finds it irritating. No problem. :cool:
 
ND, You are fine. Like the other comment, now that I know what it means, it's fine. The post was for folks who haven't joined and are thinking of doing so. I'll call ya ND....

I joined a forum and used my given name, Teresa, and regretted it. It's a very liberal forum and absolutely the nastiest one I've ever been on. I still go there on occasion. It's almost fun to voice another viewpoint since most on the board are constantly in agreement with each other. And I consider myself liberal.

So I used "kitties" here. Because I love kitties. And this is a very nice forum. :)

You read my post? It doesn't say that I thought you were telling people to user their own name. Josiah mentioned (which is who the reply was to) that he wished folks would sign with their real name, after a post??

If you don't see where parts of this thread could discourage or scare folks off, I can't explain it to you. I thought someone would get what I was saying, and agree. But I guess I'm the only one that sees it as a determent to those that may want to join. I know sometimes I forget that these posts, if you google the right word, even show up in a search. Lot's of people see them. I'm done, said what I meant, and meant what I said.

I agree with you...use whatever name you want. If old people can not figure it out, its their problem.

I have used Ken N Tx on the internet since 1998 and have seen a lot of unusual handles.

Another pet peeve I have is people who do not post in the proper Forums light humor,introductions etc....

I have used many nicknames and my first forum was also in 1998. A Yahoo forum for those interested in Ireland.

Oh your acronym is very clever! How cool, but I'm afraid that I'm one of those who needs stuff to be really obvious. I can watch 'whodunits' all the way through to the end and still need it laid out clearly before the credits role. My husband is either more clever or has a devious streak to him and he'll sit there saying, 'I know who did it, would you like me to tell you?' Annoying showing off eh? I'd make a lousy spy I think because I don't read between the lines very well. ;)

Now that I know what your username means I'm no longer scratching my head. Makes perfect sense.

You selected the kind of name we are promoting here. Ken. What could be better, your name and location.
 
My real name is Steve.. When I was born, my parents called me Steve..
My user name is Steve..
On all the forums I am on, I use the name Steve..
I also say that I live in Massey, Ontario which is on top of Lake Huron.. Any more information than that becomes "information overload".......

Funny thing, on one forum, they had a similar topic and NO BODY believed me that Steve was my real name...
 
Hi Steve. My birth certificate says James (Jim). I am Jim. Mom called me Jimmy. Dad called me son and several have had other, less friendly names for me.
 
I love this skit SeaBreeze. I wish members would show their state or country at least. Show their age which is interesting to me. Name used does not matter.

Well, in all fairness Rick, you've been here a year and have 12 posts but many of us post daily and are often puzzled as to what to address some with a member name like I'llWaitForTheNextBus. BTW this is a thread I started.
 
I agree Jim, but I always have been a listener not a talker as stated in my first post. So I listen to what you guys are saying quite frequently and I love the site. It frustrates me that everyone is afraid that they will give to much info and they will be penalized some way. It does happen but a very small percent in the USA not to mention this site. Yeah long names is frustrating also.

Perhaps there needs to be stated guidelines when signing up. As some sites have for passwords. Then the usernames of newcomers would be acceptable. I, for one, am surprised that you can use just a simple name here. None of the forums I signed up with before coming here would. Mine was repeatedly refused, stating that the name had been already used. So, I gave up attempting to used it.
