I used to be onVGP. For a short few hours I was Lemming. Now I am Retro.

I still am not happy with my name.

I have thought of Wonder Boy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wonder_Boy) named after the Sega series, Strider or Shinobi because they sound cool. Toadstool because he is helpful.

Any other ideas?

i like something from a Final Fantasy game, or something like Mario, so that everyone can relate to it and knows what it is, and what game it is from;)

I've suggested that before but he wanted something game related.

@retro: Haven't you learned your lesson yet? Naming yourself close to the name of the site is just going to cause confusion.

Current conciderations
MacGyver (tv) - you can do lots with very little, not bad.
Tesla (inventor) cool guy, bad name
Feynamn (not a very good username but he is my hero)read above-tesla
INTP (as in the personality type)even if only in my head I prefer easily pronounceable names
Kong (as in my current avatar)not bad
Azrael (Was my crows name)too smurfy/dogma, but otherwise not bad
Groucho (as in Marx)eh...
Howard (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard_the_Duck) (as in the duck or hughs which also was a cool guy) eh...
Bam (as in Spice it up a notch. Bam! also was my hamsters name my possums name was The Sneak but that is not a good user name) not horrible
Wonder Boy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wonder_Boy) (as in the Sega game)you're an SMS guy...I think his is fitting for you.
Strider (game)great game, ok name
Praha - I don't know what this is from
Shinobi (game and ninja sect) not bad
Toad (helpful game character) pretty good
Ziggy (quantum leap) I like this one, and not only because it's my suggestion...very helpful sentient supercomputer, often overlooks the obvious. I'm sure he'd be an INTP if tested
Admin (descriptive) too generic
Error (from Zelda I just always liked that as a computer input field) who'd be your test user?
Bender (futurama) drunken robots are always a good time, I like this
Praha you must really like this one, listing it twice and all...:p

Bender, Shinobi, Azreal, and Kong for me.(In that order)
I thought I would make it shorter since Tenser picked every one of my choices, Except Praha...

Kong

Wonder Boy, Kong, Shinobi, Toad, Bender.

A 28 year old with the forum name of "Wonder Boy" is just kind of creepy.

From your short-list I prefer the last two. Toad or bender.

Also, you a 007 fan? What about "Q"?

If you name yourself "Wonder Boy", then someone needs to change their name to "Nasty Man". I mean, he's arch-nemesis and rival to Wonder Boy with powers comparable to Wonder Boy's.

What powers, you ask? Well, how about the power of Flight? Does that do anything for you? That's levitation, Holmes. How about the power to kill a yak...from 200 yards away...with mind bullets!?! That's telekinesis, Kyle. How about the power...to move you?

Kong

Yeah. :) I actually prefer Kong to Toad. Toad made me think of a green, frog-like creature with a lot of warts. O_o I know it was meant to refer too, but I could just not shake out that mental image! So yeah, I like Kong. :)

Kong sounds better. It makes it seem like you rule the site as opposed to being a helper.

eh...as long as it says "Administrator" under what ever your new, and next new name is, it isn't too confusing. There is only one of you.

I'm gonna call you Koad D it's a mix of Kong Toad and Big D.

jeckel22
01-02-2007, 07:26 AM
Nah. You have helpers (i.e game mods, contest mods, beta testers, etc.). You more or less tell everyone the way it is going to be. Definitely the ruler.

Something I learned long ago is to never go against what people already call you. I tried to change my name to Megaman X but everyone just called me Tails. It's just easier that way, especially considering everyone called you Big D anyways.

However years seeing you as kong would make it weird. Like how tenser is now Kugyince and everyone calls him tenser... occasionally tenser nii chan due to that damn filter!

Kugyince
09-04-2015, 07:31 AM
I changed my name out of convenience. It was irritating signing up for something and seeing that the user name "Tenser" had already been taken. "Kugyince" was always my second choice. Since "Kugyince" is always available I just gave up and decided to change everything to that handle.

I like the name Kong. I think it's nice and simple and it's relevant to the sites interests.

It's a good name, I've just never liked Donkey Kong.
