User name
 

I'm contemplating having the powers that be change my user name. Someone has chosen one that is remarkably close to mine and has even fooled me on a couple occasions. I just don't want to be confused with this other Pelican or him with me.

Am I being a bit neurotic about this? Should I just let it be and carry on as usual or is changing a not crazy thing?

Thanks for any opinions.

I posted a thread about this a couple of weeks ago. Changing it is your call. I vote for "yes".

BTW-what is the meaning of the name?

Fooled him too apparently...

Pick one, syzygy - definition and meaning

I see why 2 fellas might pick such a unique name now. Thanks for the link, JJ.

I vote that one of them changes to "Starman". :)

sorry syzygy...I meant no harm. Purely a coincidence. This szyzygy name is one of my names on my actuary chat room. I have about 50 ids over there.

The mods can change my name to Hugh Jass instead if you want to keep the syzygy name.

Wayne: too funny. I never saw that thread. It was pure coincidence. And it was a coincidence that you started that one only a week or so ago. Very Twilight Zone... :)

Hugh: don't worry about it. Scott already said he would change it. I just have to come up with something interesting and unique. And something I can remember. Maybe I'll also add something to let people know who I was.

Dude, you are going to fit in well around here. That made me laugh out loud.:D





btw-ignore the ones that out you down for not knowing your 911. These cars are very different than most others on the road. My feeling is that you just have to take in everything that you can from every source that you can.

I completely missed the Hugh Jass thing. After Wayne's comment, I took another look and the light bulb went on. Feel kinda dumb now. Have another drink, I guess. The thing is, I actually know someone with Jass as a last name...

or Mike Hunt :D

:)

Yeah, it's the internet. Thankfully there are more helpful people than flamers/haterz. Not a big deal.

srsly?

That's awesome! Please tell me they have someone in their family named Hugh....

It's actually from the Simpsons "Flaming Moe" episode. He's the dude in my avatar.

haha, I had that ID on the actuary message board but the Mods perma-banned it.

They also won't let me have Terry Hesticles or Mike Hawk.

No sir, it's pronounced asweepay... :)

(reference noted)

A friend of ours has refused to take her new husband's name Tkal, as her first name is Tess...

Dead-set true.

Try Buster Hyman. :D

what kind of last name is tkal? I mean what ethnic/cultural background?

Dumb question : how do you change a user name ?

you probably need to get a moderator to do it.

What about Bjørn? :)

Yes, a Mod or Admin needs to change a name.

I have client named Anita Ho :D

When I was with the DOE, there was a secretary with that same name. What about a Polynesian name? Mapu Sisoa

I had 'Biggus Dickus' on a 914 list....but I was an admin.....

He thinks it's mid European, but he's not sure. Maybe Czec or Prussian, and he's sure the spelling has been changed a bit. The "Tk" throws most of us off, but you pronounce both the t and k.

"He has a wife you know; Incontinentious Buttox"

FTFY "Intercontinentia Buttocks"

Pontius Pilate: So, yaw fatha was a Woman? Who was he?
Brian: He was a Centurion, in the Jerusalem Garrisons.
Pontius Pilate: Weally? What was his name?
Brian: 'Naughtius Maximus'.
[the Centurion laughs]
Pontius Pilate: Centuwion, do we have anyone of that name in the gawwison?
Centurion: Well, no, sir.
Pontius Pilate: Well, you sound vewy sure. Have you checked?
Centurion: Well, no, sir. Umm, I think it's a joke, sir... like, uh, 'Sillius Soddus' or... 'Biggus Dickus', sir.
Pontius Pilate: [guard chuckles] What's so funny about "Biggus Dickus? "
Centurion: Well, it's a joke name, sir.
Pontius Pilate: I have a vewy gweat fwiend in Wome called 'Biggus Dickus'.
[guard chuckles]
Pontius Pilate: Silence! What is all this insolence? You will find yourself in gladiator school vewy quickly with wotten behaviour like that.
Brian: Can I go now, sir?
[slap]
Brian: Aaah! Eh.
Pontius Pilate: Wait till Biggus Dickus hears of this!
[guard chuckles]
Pontius Pilate: Wight! Take him away!
Centurion: Oh, sir, he - he only...
Pontius Pilate: No, no. I want him fighting wabid, wild animals within a week.
Centurion: Yes, sir. Come on, you.
[takes the guard away as continues laughing histerically]
Pontius Pilate: I will not have my fwiends widiculed by the common soldiewy. - - Anybody else feel like a little... giggle... when I mention my fwiend... Biggus...
[another guard chuckles]
Pontius Pilate: ... Dickus?
[more chuckling]
Pontius Pilate: What about you? Do you find it... wisible... when I say the name... 'Biggus'...
[chuckle]
Pontius Pilate: ... Dickus?
[both guards chuckle]
Pontius Pilate: He has a wife, you know. You know what she's called? She's called... 'Incontinentia'... Incontinentia Buttocks
Pontius Pilate: [Guards are laughing] Stop! What is all this?
Pontius Pilate: [laughing continues] I've had enough of this wowdy webel sniggewing behaviour. Silence! Call yourselves Pwaetowian guards? You're not - Seize him! Seize him! Blow your noses and seize him!

Oh! you can have your named changed?! Maybe I will exchange combatic for Seymor......Seymor Butz. :D This thread is cracking me up...or maybe I am high on Por-15 fumes and it is 3am?

OK, my user name is changed. I am no longer Syzygy. I now dub me... Canada Kev.

Oh, I thought you would go with Starman.:p

Oh well.

All hail Canada Kev.SmileWavy

Sorry Wayne. To me, Starman seemed a little, uh, gay... :)

Not that there's anything wrong with that. But thanks anyway for the suggestion.

For me the meaning of Syzygy was more about the universe being in alignment than specifically planets and stars. When I got my 911, everything just fell into place (except for the speeding ticket I got leaving Vancouver on the way home...) with no effort, like it was meant to be. I even got temporary insurance from ICBC with no charge. FREE! And for those who live in BC know that's nearly a miracle in and of itself.

You could have changed it to: Dixie Wrecked

Cool story on buying your 911.

I WAS just kidding about the STARMAN thing. I think there was a cheesy 70's film of the same name and that's all that I could think of.

I wanted to use Hugh Jardon.

I once had a client whose name was Harry Johnson. I had a very difficult time keeping a straight face when we met. I barely succeeded. My wife has a colleague by the name of Richard Johnson. He goes by the nickname "Dick". And introduces himself as "Dick Johnson". I've always wanted to ask him if he finds his name redundant. I resist, for my wife's sake. :)

Wayne, that movie is the only thing I could think of whenever it came up. I never watched it, but it was undoubtedly cheesy...
