Your Username Choice over time...

This is a question mainly for the longterm BB contributers.

I've been going through a LOT of threads, seeing how people are responding to peoples posts.

And I've noticed a lot of great advice coming from members who I can see from their "number of posts" (like in the 1000-3000 range) that they have been dedicated contributers to the website for quite some time (which is awesome).

But I've noticed that some of them have some usernames that while they when they were "newbies" fresh on the block were created for a specific reason back then... are quite amusing now that they are obviously BB veterans.

So my question is...

Do any of you "oldschool" members (regret is not the right word)... wish that they had chosen a different username back then in hindsight? Or wish you could change it to something else now?

I'm just curious.

Hi Unbeliever,

Good pick up, I do like basketball. Not good at playing however.

Your username origin sounds cool.

My best,

I only joined up a few weeks back.

My username pretty much speaks for itself. Going through a very hard time & the depression is hard to escape.

The funny thing through, is I’m a massive football & A-League fan & I signed up around the derby between Melbourne Victory & Sydney FC played. That match is called the big blue & is marketed for raising awareness for mental health.

I’m a Sydney FC fan

Hello Unbeliever,

I thought about this for couple of minutes and realized why I choose this name.

I'm a mature lady with hair that can be called silver.

I rather like it.

Hi UB,

Just have to say have read both series of "Thomas Covenant" & enjoyed them.

My user name is because I believe that our pets leave their paw prints on our heart as a reminder to love as generously as they do & that if we look hard enough we can find a piece of everyone we have ever loved tucked away inside us.

Ha, ha! My name is a beautiful representation of my inner chaos.

PARADOXICAL: Referring to my ability to have a completely contradictory mindset based solely on my mood at the time!

Hi everyone.

My username is just short for Matchbox Twenty lover, they're my favourite band. I love a lot of rock and metal bands but they're my all time favourite, aswell as Rob Thomas, the singer and a solo singer, and Tabitha's Secret, the band before Matchbox Twenty.

It's pretty basic I know but that's all I could think of since I'm stupid.

Interesting thread though.

Hi Tayla never say that your stupid.I think your very smart and user name is clever.

Thanks for the kind words Mark. I am though, but thank you. You're smart too and your username is clever also.

Mine's pretty basic and boring, it was all I could think of.
