Usernames

[aggienaut]

(1:08:29 PM) snail of DEATH: So. On facebook you can now have a username. It obv should be simple so you can tell people "go find X" to find you. So my name is out because I'd have to explain how to spell it. So I need like. One word, or something otherwise memorable, that is not already taken
(1:08:47 PM) calinocoto: why not just emosnail?
(1:09:13 PM) snail of DEATH: ugh no I'd change that too if emosnail wasn't already so well known

(1:02:44 PM) snail of DEATH: I want to go for like a random word like
(1:02:46 PM) snail of DEATH: Possums
(1:02:48 PM) snail of DEATH: or Devious
(1:02:52 PM) snail of DEATH: so I can just be like
(1:02:55 PM) snail of DEATH: look up possums
(1:03:05 PM) Papa Smurf: heh
(1:03:11 PM) snail of DEATH: but not possums because I don't want to be known as possums for the rest of my life
(1:03:12 PM) snail of DEATH: hahahah

(1:14:47 PM) snail of DEATH: EVERYTHING is taken
(1:14:56 PM) Papa Smurf: yeah, it's been 15 hrs or something
(1:15:00 PM) snail of DEATH: I should have jumped on that thing the moment the option became available
(1:15:09 PM) Papa Smurf: you should have, now you are a failure, possum
(1:15:16 PM) snail of DEATH: hmmm any other famous villians that aren't too nerdy a ref?
(1:15:28 PM) Papa Smurf: possums

(1:17:00 PM) snail of DEATH: Werepossum
(1:17:02 PM) snail of DEATH: too ridic?
(1:17:11 PM) calinocoto: yes
(1:17:16 PM) calinocoto: and no one will know how to spell it
...
(1:19:04 PM) snail of DEATH: well what's another line I can go down in thesaurus to find something apt? I looked up all the entries under deviousness and all the entries under shenanigans so far
(1:19:52 PM) calinocoto: why not just shenanigans?
(1:21:10 PM) snail of DEATH: shenanigans I would have been all about, but its def taken
(1:21:24 PM) calinocoto: poop
(1:21:37 PM) snail of DEATH: hmm I could do sometihng like 321shenanigans
(1:21:40 PM) snail of DEATH: lets see if its taken
(1:22:01 PM) calinocoto: oh no, numbers are stupid
(1:22:06 PM) calinocoto: i dont' like numbers in a url
(1:22:38 PM) snail of DEATH: yeah I think it's dumb if you have to stick like 1 on the end or esp if you put a totally random number at the end
(1:22:45 PM) snail of DEATH: but 321shenanigans is like, a countdown
(1:23:02 PM) calinocoto: oh, that's true

***EDIT TO ADD:
(1:54:07 PM) calinocoto: i was thinking of just putting mine puppy
(1:54:12 PM) calinocoto: the problem is that i like kittens, too
(1:54:16 PM) snail of DEATH: hahahaha
(1:54:25 PM) calinocoto: it's a real dilemma!
(1:54:27 PM) snail of DEATH: I'm gonna have to edit to add that to my entry
(1:54:28 PM) snail of DEATH: :D
(1:54:31 PM) calinocoto: lol
(1:54:35 PM) calinocoto: my crises on display for the world


And so, before I commit to an apparently unchangeable username, anyone have any ideas??? (am currently leaning towards 321shenanigans, but figure I'll give it an hour or two to see if I can come up with something better -- if you steal it in the mean time I will killorize you!)

I ended up using my first and middle initials with my last name. My name is super common, so I had no interest in claiming it for its own sake, but this way, people can find me and it's still my name.

I like 321shenanigans, though. That's fun.

Yeah, I was thinking it needs to be sometihng easy to explain and rememeber. I noticed in Spain that all the people I was meeting, by now there's so many people on FB that a name alone isn't very good at all for finding them, and was actually thinking FB is gonna need to do something about that. Now the problem with my name is I can't just tell it to people, I have to spell it out, because Kris is not the standard spelling obv, and no one is going to know how to spell Fricke either... (though on the plus side once they got that down they should be able to narrow down their search results to either me or my name-twin Kristen Fricke, who is a lot more attractive, and female, than I)...
