As some of you may know, a lot of members of the CAA has been sporadically changing their names over the last few months. So basically, me being the curious type, would like to know:

Have you ever changed your name on the CAA?

What was it called?

And why did you change it?

Just asking.

You're right... quite a few members have been changing their names. It tends to confuse me for a bit when it happens. I haven't changed mine, but I'm interested in hearing who has changed theirs, and why, too.

i havent changed mine... or my avatar, or my quote.

I have changed my sig. Mostly because, i am going in a new direction in life.

sometimes i use my real name when i need to put what God told me to put or when i am seriously backing what i put. I take responsibity on my real name ... thats the reason i use my real name sometimes.

This isn't what you were asking for (as I haven't changed my username and at this point probably never will), but it fits under the title. Here are the various monikers I have collected, mostly against my will:
UC
UPC
US
UCP
Clive (Staples) Lewis
UPS

I changed my name from piloswine to Scribs on the date that I achieved 1000 posts. This was a change that I had been thinking about ever since I started posting on the forums and not just in the roleplay section. I had chosen the name Piloswine only because I had been using it on various sites just so I would have a common name that I could easily remember. When I chose it I didnt know that that would be what I would be known as on the site. As Piloswine is a pokemon and I have not played that game for about two years now it doenst seem like a good indication of my personality and interests. Therefor I changed my name to Scribs, a nickname I have in real life. I like my new name better, and hope that the change did not confuse anyone, as I have the same ugly man in my avatar as I have had for a year.

I think my change was for the better. Nobody thinks I'm a drug dealer anymore.

What was your name before I can't quite remember?

Never changed mine. I've had mine for years and I'll probably keep it for a long time.

I used to have some totally lame name like Kaligraphic.

...wait, I still do...

I had contemplated changing my name to Amalgam for a while, but by then I was used to Icky. :shivers:

I've changed my name before.....

What no UPS? :lol:

I could be rather obnoxious here and claim I went from being
Mitsuki SANADA Lover to Mituski RARA lover...but I haven't really
although I do love 'em both.

When I first tried to join the boards it was as "The Melody Maker", but apparently at the time user names could only be 16 characters long so I had to trim the spaces.

I ended up changing it accordingly at Anime Angels and the Guild for the sake of consistency. :lol:

Postby **Myoti** » Mon Oct 24, 2005 4:17 pm

I won't change mine, as it's what I use on everything.

It's also fun to find how many people don't know what it is or how to pronounce it (actually, I don't know how to pronounce it myself ^_^ ).

I like my new name better, and hope that the change did not confuse anyone, as I have the same ugly man in my avatar as I have had for a year.

Who is that ugly guy, anyways? O.o

Well, he is Christopher Wordsworth, William Wordsworth's usually looked over nephew.

Postby **Myoti** » Mon Oct 24, 2005 4:29 pm

Ah, I see. Still don't know who he is though. XP

And he's being hunted by... who is that? Martha Stewart, I believe?

Postby **Scribs** » Mon Oct 24, 2005 4:33 pm

either he is being hunted by her, or he is in kahoots with her, but this is really going off topic.

Postby **bigsleepj** » Mon Oct 24, 2005 10:29 pm

If I ever change my name, I'd be Mediumsized Nap Z....just kidding.

Yes, I can remember. You're one of the few who seemed to change his name for anything besides the sake of novelty.

HAH! I KNEW IT!! ]Therefor I changed my name to Scribs, a nickname I have in real life. [/QUOTE]

Where does the nickname 'Scribs' come from? Is there a story behind it or is just random?

No offence, but why change it? Its a cool name!

Postby **Warrior4Christ** » Tue Oct 25, 2005 1:48 am

I was considering changing mine to starfire2.

Might as well jump in and get a low number before they're all taken.

It is derived from my actual name which is longer.

Ah, yes, I had forgotten about that one.

On that subject, the reason I used the parentheses is because I get called numerous different combinations of the above.

I was originally Chris4150. But I decided I needed something more on the level of awesomeness. So I made something up and....

I shall never change my name. Even though I become "SirThinks2Muc" in the chatroom.

Postby **K. Ayato** » Tue Oct 25, 2005 4:57 pm

I changed mine 'cause I was tired of being mistaken for Mr. Smarty Pants in the CAA chat. Plus, I noticed that (to the best of my knowledge) no one has a RahXephon reference as a username, and I like RahXephon better than Gundam Wing.

Postby **mitsuki lover** » Tue Oct 25, 2005 5:28 pm

The reason why I will never change my username is simple:I also belong to the
Dualfans forum and it's easier to have a username related to Dual!
On the other hand if I ever DID change it would more than likely be to one of the
following:
Yuki Lover(Silent Mobius is my all time favorite anime and Yuki Saiko was the
first anime character I ever loved)
Kagome Lover(obvious reasons)
Qoun or Haruka Lover(two of my favorites on RahXephon)
Flay or Lacus Lover(Flay Lover would be another obvious one)

I never will cahnge mine... or my avatar, except for special occasions (Christmas, halloween, mod appreciation day etc.) and those are usually modifications of my current one.
