I knew someone who legally changed her name from Cindy to Cinnamon Twist. So hey, Miracleman? Not a big deal at all.
Dawn ,'Sleeper'
Natter 58: Let's call Venezuela!
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Hmmmmm....
Thanks Sparky! Believe it or not, I had been to that page a couple of times, but without reading the subtitles, I couldn't lazily at a glance find what I wanted.
You ROCK!
If I actually have to change my name, any suggestions? I usually am castvic on most sites,but it seemed like most people were using what I assume is their real first name.
Hi, Victor! A lot of people do use their real names here, but not everyone. Renaming or nicknaming people who have similar posting names is a long-running joke -- which I believe started when we had three Davids posting at the same time. There's no need to change your username unless you want to!
Heh. You don't actually have to change your name, Victor. Though you can if you want. We were mostly just warning you that we may (a) mix you up on a quick skimming through posts or (b) start nicknaming you ourselves. Which can be dangerous. :) And also serve as a warning that although someone's name in a post may be William, they might be referred to as SparklypantsSteve, and permutations thereof, and never as William. Or, y'know, whatever.
What meara said. Also, your new nickname may become realer than your real name. Just ask meara.
or shrift.
So what has SparklypantsSteve been up to these days?
Also, this may look like my real name, but it is just a clever disguise!
And I tend to not only mix up people with the same name, but people with similar capital letters when I am skimming (Nora Dierdre and NoiseDesign, TypoBoy and Trudy Booth, I am looking at you!)
ETA: I just remembered shrift's real name, and it makes me giggle a little. i can't imagine calling her that!
I always think of shrift and meara as shrift and meara. Alibelle too, try as I might it's hard to use her real name when I see her.
