Everywhere else on the internet, I am known as Herakles, or some variation of it. On this forum, there is already someone named Herakles (my father, who took the name at my suggestion), so I took the name "Housewares" from a line from one of my favorite movies (Army of Darkness: "Who the hell are you?" "The name's Ash... Housewares").

However, this will confuse anyone that may know me as Herakles from anywhere else on the internet, so I think I need to change my name to something like Herakles. I also don't want to confuse anyone on this forum who may know my father, so I need to make sure it's sufficiently different from just plain Herakles.

How is: Lord Herakles The Great

If there is a mod who would be so kind, I would like my user name changed to that.

All right you primitive screwheads, listen up...

Lol @Brian... Somehow you're always in threads like these (nothing wrong with this one in particular) and somehow make me laugh

@Housewares: I'd try emailing a mod mate, or maybe one will stop by... I've seen Thraxas around here lately

Cheers,
Anayar

I used to be Zotoast until I got a new email address, so I made a new profile under Zotoaster, which will never change. It's a combination of 'Zotos', my Greek surname, 'toast', which is tasty, and kinda looks like 'Zoroaster' who was supposedly some Iranian prophet, though pronounced completely differently.

I've been 'Teh Buddha' and 'Musashi' before, I was 'Seppuku Geijutsu' to begin with as well. I don't use the email address I signed up with, but haven't seen the point of using a new account...though I do have another account I use to buy stuff.

I figure if people already identify you under a particular name, it can get a little confusing if you suddenly change your name (though stating who you were in your sig helps) but it took me ages before I realised Josh Mooney was Moondog and my mind was blown.

Since I'm shutting down my company (xplosys) I may consider a name change at some point. I've always liked "Jessica".






OK, I probably shouldn't have told that one.

INCORRECT!

On the subject of name changing...
...
...
...
I'm perfectly happy with mine. As much as I would love a name like Sweetie Belle or Batman (Taken), I think Cormorant is better.

But maybe I could just do Cormorant? I'm always Cormorant, Cormorant5, or CormorantFive. Everyone always calls me Cormorant anyway... but then again then I can't use my signature slogan: Because I killed the other 4.
