I Really Need To Change My Name.

[gah!ghost]

It's totally meaningless. It was literally just a random word I typed in. It's hard to come up with something as I have used the same alias on the internet going back to before the web and it's one I can't use here as I'm well known even in my "real life" by the moniker.

This is basically me just digitally rubbing my chin. Need to come up with something that has some sort of meaning.

Also somewhat related but not exactly the forum for it… but do I need to create a whole new account or is there some other way to change my name?

you can ask a mod for a name change, or donate money and then you can do it whenever you want.

When you figure it out PM me, you have earned it from all the work you do here.... doing my best Professor Hand from Fastimes at Ridgemont High...... "Get a good one"

[gah!ghost]

Thanks a lot, I appreciate that quite a bit.

[gah!ghost]

I'm thinking something alliterative and a combination of kinda "cute" sounding and spooky.

Right now I'm looking for something to go with Ghost.

gadgetGhost

gaspGhost… hmm, I rather like that.

can you have non-alphanumeric characters in user names? gah!ghost would be good possibly. Only really works with the exclamation mark.

heh, gramaphoneGhost

[gah!ghost]

I'm really liking gah!ghost and it looks like you can have an exclamation mark in a user name.

but if you change your name, we can't have the daily banter around here anymore!

[Repaid1]

And he saw the name and it was good...and made it so!

p.s. I capitalized it, if you don't want that let me know and I will change it to lower case.

[gah!ghost]

Yeah, as I mentioned in the PM, would prefer all lower case. I like visual balance in names via ascenders and descenders. For example, if it was just Gah! I'd want it capitalized.

banter looks like this |oo|oo, Gah! looks like ||o||, joy is |o|, etc

"gah!ghost" isn't ideal balance wise, but I think it looks better than when capped. Ghost just has too many ascenders and descenders to balance with anything other than itself. Only mention it as I thought some people might find it interesting. All my other names I use other places are comprised of two words that have the same number of letters and balanced ascenders and descenders.

hahha dude its a screen name on a diaper fetish site!!! thats an awful lot of thought for a fetish website screen name

[gah!ghost]

Well I'm a designer and illustrator by trade. It's in my blood to over think anything visual.

Thanks Repaid1! Again, really appreciate it.
