Who all changed their screen names?

[ronnykmarshall]

[Hugabear]

1. I did

Like the new name?

[ronnykmarshall]

32. Much nicer!

[mmonk]

64. A tad softer I'd say.

I'm not going to change mine because it's not tied to a political candidate and not enough people are mad at me yet.

[Kitty Herder]

78. Hey, I liked Paint It Black.

It's my favorite Stones song.

[devilgrrl]

2. I'll miss chimpsrsmarter

This is the DU member formerly known as MonkeyFunk.

[uppityperson]

45. omg, you made me laugh out loud.

Your sig line I mean. Right.

Sign me, Still Uppity

[devilgrrl]

47. ...

[uppityperson]

71. Do another! Do another!

[devilgrrl]

80. Okay.

[uppityperson]

110. Beware...

you are going to get those elsewhere all confused.
indeed

[endarkenment]

3. I am the poster formerly known as endarkenment

[Barack_America]

4. Me!

On a bit of a whim.

[stillcool]

11. My but you've changed..

Jeez.. I hardly recognize you!!

[Barack_America]

39. I've still go the old english "D"

For now, at least.

Otherwise I wouldn't recognize myself!

And I do like your new, streamlined name!

[stillcool]

42. I'm trying to look younger!

I'll have to be remember your D.

[Barack_America]

51. It's working!

[merh]

5. not me

This is the DU member always known as merh.

[Sanctified]

6. I did, should have never used my real name when I joined. n/t

[Catshrink]

72. Hm....still looking for this?

[Terran]

81. Yeah, I made that mistake too

Not a good idea. I changed it the last time we did this.

[booksenkatz]

7. Me

I'm in the process of selling my Patsy Cline website, so I'm no longer patsified. I'm just going to go curl up with my booksenkatz, thank you very much.

Don't change your name ronnykmarshall -- I'm a long-time lurker (since the beginning) and you're one of my favs to look for here at DU.

[Libby2]

61. I loved patsified! n/t

[booksenkatz]

67. But it made no sense, LOL

It's a word I created for Patsy Cline fans, among whom it now enjoys broad use, I'm happy to say.

Ah, well. Thanks for noticing!

[Lady Effingbroke]

8. I'm keeping mine. It's perfect, and I don't post much anyways.

Signed,

Chronic Lurker.

[justabob]

89. I have always loved your name

[pacalo]

9. I absolutely must change mine.

[Barack_America]

14. Yeah, you really do.

Because right now you are technically "over".

[11 Bravo]

15. Yeah, get on that!

[billybob537]

37. Maybe you should try

Dream come true

[pacalo]

44. Thanks, billybob.

That's a good one, but I don't want to jinx our good fortune. I'm thinking more about something generic that I won't have to change again.

[appal_jack]

10. Yo!

I'm still 'app,' but wanted a change.

'Applejack' is of course hard cider that has been frozen to gain a higher alcohol percentage.

And the southern Appalachians are my beloved home.

So appal_jack it is.

-app

EDIT to shout a big THANK YOU to the mods!!!

[semillama]

12. Nevers, I say!

I've been online as "Semillama" for about 15 years now. Don't see a reason to change.

[stillcool]

13. I took my age off...

I want to pretend to be much younger. Hopefully I can pull it off for a while.

[BurtWorm]

16. I'm still trying to figure out how to get my name changed to an unpronounceable symbol.

[Bake]

17. .

I did.



Bake

[NRaleighLiberal]

18. Not me - still an accurate description (until we move, of course !).

[Stinky The Clown]

19. Me.

Now we just have to suffer through a month an get our sig lines back.

[annabanana]

62. I like it... I always thought of you as that pissed off clown anyway..

(However I wouldn't have guessed at your relation to Sparkly without the name you've left behind..)

[OneGrassRoot]

20. Change here. :)

[Shardik]

21. Well, I just did...

My old name was too long to type. I named myself after one of my dogs... And a Richard Adams novel.

[OneGrassRoot]

25. Good to know! :) n/t

[Silver Swan]

22. I did

When I joined, I was a blonde, so Amber Waves seemed sort of appropriate and patriotic.

But now, after too many years of GWB, my hair is silver, so I figured a name change was in order!

[timtom]

38. Are you familiar with the Scott Joplin tune of the same name?

Herein lies an intriguing guitar version of same:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_w3hfrkvfcQ

Give it a listen

[Silver Swan]

43. No, I wasn't familar with that tune.

I was thinking of Orlando Gibbons.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jsuyLO-Hcw

[timtom]

66. Now THAT's CLASS!

Thanx for the turn-on.

[Dervill Crow]

23. I did.

I no longer have the blues, and since I actually live in a suburb of Portland it was completely inaccurate.

[Ian David]

24. I did! n/t

[orleans]

112. noooooooooooooooo! n/t

[timtom]

26. Self delete.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

27. Me

[City Lights]

28. Me. nt

[Champion Jack]

29. Just a little clean up

[timtom]

30. I did.

Gahhh. This is weird. It's like having plastic surgery. But this is my nickname other places.

[noiretextatique]

31. i did...no longer black and blue

i'm black and ecstatic now

ronald reagan, to my horror, was elected the year i graduated from college. i had brief respite from republicone rule during the clinton years, then...to my horror again...SCOTUS appointed the failure pResident. for most of my adult life, i've been totally depressed about this country.

i am not a cheerleader by any means, but i am tired of being black and blue, so i am going to embrace optimism. finally, i have a reason to be optimistic about the future, and that's something to be ecstatic about.

[Terran]

83. lol, that's nice

I'm glad you're no longer blue! ('though noiretblue was catchy!)

[TahitiNut]

95. Golly! I hardly recognized you.

[Forkboy]

103. You'll be awesome no matter which name you go by.

[IsItJustMe]

33. I am thinking of changing mine to ItWasntJustMe.

[Lilith Velkor]

49. Do it!

[patrick t. cakes]

34. slightly

ive matured.

[On the Road]

35. Me! Finally ---

Been wanting to do it for ages. I liked the connotations of the term "ribofunk" in the late 80s, but that was almost 20 years ago, and it's gotten a little old.

I love odd handles -- FUBAR, IamJoesEyeball, Ironweed, etc, but in practice they get embarrassing.

"On the Road" is sufficiently ambiguous so that no one has to know it refers to the Kerouac novel. I can use it on stock market boards, too.

[DemoTex]

36. I'm thinking of changing mine to a Kerouac-inspired name, too.

I haven't been a Dem O' Texas in over five years.

[Gemini Cat]

40. I should but I don't know what to change it to.

So I will think about it.

[pleah]

41. I would like to change my name, but, I can't

decide on a new one. Any suggestions would be welcome.

[Barack_America]

46. How about...

...something like "HopeReturns"?

[pleah]

48. That's a good one.

I'll check to see if it is taken. Here are some I have been thinking about:
pleah
flutterby
mockorange
birdfeeder
The first two are not taking right now, haven't checked the rest, yet.

Thanks.

[Barack_America]

52. I like....

birdfeeder.

Don't know why exactly, I just do.

[pleah]

55. Yes, that was my second choice.

My son like the one I chose and one I didn't list. So, I went with my first choice. I appreciate your input, thanks.

ps: I feed the birds year round, because I love to see what kind shows up.

[NNN0LHI]

50. I changed mine to NNNOLHI from NNN0LHI

[Shardik]

53. as it should be, Don.

[Bjorn Against]

54. I did.

[Ediacara]

56. Me

[RayOfHope]

57. Me, but I'm a very sporadic poster, so it ain't no thang--won't mess anyone up. n/t

[tabasco]

58. I'm thinking of changing mine to Pimplebutt.

[EFerrari]

119. I wish you'd consider some other condiment instead.

[KatyaR]

59. Me, me, me!!!!!

There's another DUer with "5thgendem" as their screen name, and I felt bad about that.

Besides, "Katya" sounds subversive--hee!

[Saphire]

60. I did, too. How does it look?

[Barack_America]

106. Looks good!

[Deja Q]

63. Me too

[Catshrink]

73. Man, Toad. How will I remember that change????

It's cute though.

[orleans]

113. noooooooooooooooo n/t

[BuelahWitch]

65. Me!

[bigwillq]

68. I did not.

ronny!

[Lex]

74. Good. Me neither.

[BulletproofLandshark]

69. Me

[Obamanaut]

70. I did. nt

[orleans]

114. nice name. n/t

[Left Is Write]

75. There's a whole bunch of people I don't know now! Ack!

Ronny, do you think I should change my name?

[orleans]

115. no shit. ACK! i'm not gonna reconize anyone by the time this is over.

and here's my opinion: NO! LEAVE YOUR NAME ALONE!

[PBS Poll-435]

76. I did

I needed change.

[meow2u3]

77. I did

I'd rather have had a cat-related handle.

[sandnsea]

79. Well this sucks

I still don't remember all the name changes from 4 years ago.

[Arugula Latte]

82. Yo!

I am embracing the stereotype, 'cuz it totally applies to me!

[Cha]

84. I love it and that will

be easy to remember I'm changing mine tomorrow to my real name in honor of this journey we're going on with Obama and crew.

[Arugula Latte]

85. Hi, Z!

Sorry we never touched base. Did you ever come to Oregon? I had family come into town and I got busy cleaning and prepping and was off of DU for most of the pre-Thanksgiving days. Hope you had a good trip!

Can't wait to see your new name, although I think "zidzi" is zippy!

[Cha]

87. I did go and it was Perfect! I flew all

day Thanksgiving and spent the next 5 days there. They have a house up in Hood River, too, so we went up there for the weekend looking for snow that was hard to find then.

As you know the weather was pretty perfect around that time..but later I hear ya'll got big snow and the city shut down. My daughter kept saying about her kids.."they were housebound for a week".

I figured you were busy..I love Portland..good times with my son and his wife there too from Kaua'i.

[Arugula Latte]

99. Glad you had a good trip!

Yep -- In December we got some 'a that snow! Hooo boy! It was lots of fun, for the most part. (Although Portland is not equipped to deal with it and everything just shuts down for days on end.) My kids loved it. We have a long sloping driveway that runs right by our house and the neighbors made a two-entrance sledrun complete with Xmas lights for nigh sledding. So cool. They will always remember that time.

[Cha]

100. Awesome..I'll have to

tell my daughter about that Portland Snow Day Experience.

[Starry Messenger]

86. I decided to take the plunge.

I'll miss my sig for a month. But some choad who is now on my ignore list used my initials to find stuff out about me and post it here. I'd never planned on being a regular poster, or I wouldn't have used MPK. My new screen name is inspired by the history of science, which is something I use in my artwork. Plus it sounds pretty and I like the way the Obamas use stars in all their graphics. So it has a little of everything.

[Forkboy]

94. Nice post, Newton.

[Starry Messenger]

98. Nice post, Liebniz.

[Forkboy]

102. Nice comeback, Groucho.

[Initech]

88. YO!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Harry Monroe]

90. Right here

Thought the old one a tad too reactionary for this new beginning. But I'll always be on the watch, just the same.

[Oilwellian]

91. I dropped "George"

and it felt so good.

[Gold Metal Flake]

92. I did. Can you blame me?

[notadmblnd]

93. Not I.

for some reason, I"m emotionally attached to this one.

[Lyric]

96. Me and ThinkBlue1966

I'm Lyric, she's Rhythm

[orleans]

117. noooooooooooooooo n/t

[SammyWinstonJack]

97. In honor of my furbabies, I did.

Winston



Jack



Sammy

[merh]

101. my yorkies name is Winston

This is the DU member always known as merh.

[SammyWinstonJack]

107. I know and that is why I named my yorkie Winston! It was in honor of your Yorkie!

How is your boy doing?

[merh]

108. Arrgggghhh - I'll never get used to the name change

I saw the red with your former name and it didn't sink in



I'm doing good, how are you doing?

you know me and my furbaby are honored - have you seen his photo when he was trying to catch a wave?






This is the DU member always known as merh.

[SammyWinstonJack]

109. OMG he looks like my Winston! Love the pic of your Winston catching a wave!

Aren't yorkies just the best dogs ever? Glad to see your Winston doing so well!

[RagAss]

104. I did.

[Irish Girl]

105. just changed mine

I feel like a whole new person

[XemaSab]

111. I did

n/t

[orleans]

118. lol. stop it. it's confusing enuf! n/t

[Manifestor_of_Light]

116. I did.

Time to change. I needed an idea and somebody in the ASAH Group suggested Manifestor of Beauty, and then suggested shortening it to Manifestor. I came up with the "Light" part.




I needed something more positive than my old handle, which if you can figure it out, is not necessarily flattering in Spanish.

On edit:
Thank you, I Have a Dream and Conscious Evolution.

[Hekate]

120. Nah. I'm a mythologist at a certain stage of life, and my name has nothing to do with Chimpy....

Still, I'm really, really glad to see positivity breaking out all over at DU. We deserve it.
