In Response To: Name change: first stage... (Max Power (pooberry)) Hey, it's not easy, but I felt that it was time to hang up the old high school nickname. El Bastard™ is a name that left its mark on the Myth community - yet from the first time my kids asked why I called myself that (gamertag), I knew the days were numbered. Pratch is an abbreviation of my surname, but it is a nick that never really took hold in my life (besides, my dad already had it as a vanity plate). I wanted a fun nickname that was rooted firmly in Bungielore™ as a nod to my prior 3rd party involvement; yet wanted it to be one that I didn't feel the need to apologize for in polite company. Wayward Spleen, for better or worse, is the name I carefully chose several months ago. I merely waited for my 360 to arrive, so that I could be certain it was available, before re-branding myself. I'm sure I'll be called El B™ by many online friends for years to come - it's their right to call me such, and that abbreviation will hardly require any apologies. *shrug* I feel your pain and agree that there's really no easy way to say "call me something else" and expect others to just fall in line. It's odd in a way, yet for those of us who wish others to continue to feel a quasi-continuity for our online personas, it's perfectly normal. KFC's re-branding was accepted since everyone called it KFC anyway - few care that they changed their name to avoid paying money to the state of Kentucky. ;) |
