If only I could have come up with "Stifle Tower" before you did... LOL....

Fifth time's a charm!
I've never had an alt but one of the running jokes is how often I've changed names. Between this incarnation of the board and the one that crashed, I think I'm now up to 5. Oh wait...I did sort of have an alt. I once created a name and planned to start "fresh" with the different name and e-mail address. Then I changed my mind and never used it.
 
I gave you some really EXCELLENT suggestions

and Free Bird does NOT sound loopy, it sounds dignified yet a bit on the wild side


OK, how 'bout Wild Thing

(you make my heart sing)

I love Free Bird. A few years back, there were several of us being "abused" by the company we worked for. A few brave souls quit before I finally decided I had had enough. So about 6:30, after yet another near 12-hour day, I blasted Free Bird from my computer (and yes, I was singing along too). My colleagues who were still slaving away knew EXACTLY what it meant and congratulated me for finally coming to my senses. Wasn't long after that almost all of our close group had given notice and left.

I love this one. Reminds me of the movie "Where the Wild Things Are". I liked that movie even though it got some low ratings.
 
Wild Thing gets my vote, especially since we've heard Hottty is a playa.

Haha... I'm trying to get away from a name that says "Look at ME!!"



Trying to go with something a bit more #humble, but not something that's too 'happy' or 'gay' ... so far the ones I like the most have been:


Forever Young

Free Bird

Humble Soul

One Love

Peaceful Soul

Fearless
 
You're never going to change your name, are you?

I am, I am. But I do want it to be a participatory process - hence the thread. I've gathered up a list of good suggestions (that I also like) above and is trying to get some feedback on them. Hopefully we can get a consensus pick and we an move on from there.
 
Two more ideas:
how about "Open to Suggestions" or whatever it was that those two robbers called themselves in Home Alone

or Dr Venkman
or Mr Stay Puft

(that last one has such a nice cozy sound to it. and brings up wonderful childhood memories of sitting around a campfire and all those other fun, wholesome traditions - and it doesn't sound lame or gay)
 
Dear Strangers who might be reading this and contemplating signing up for a Jazzfanz account:

If you're hesitating because you can't think of a good user name, there are plenty of suggestions here. I, for one, would be very flattered if you chose one of my suggestions for your user name. I promise I will give you rep. If you're not sure what that is, I think it's explained somewhere in the "Site Suggestions" forum.
 
Ok guys - first of all thank you very much for your suggestions! I have thought long and hard and I think I'm going with: ONE LOVE


Some of you may know this to be the name of a famous song by Bob Marley calling for everyone to put all their differences aside and unite. Regardless of what colour, race or religion we belong to, it is after all 'love' that will ultimately bring all of us together and end all hate and wars.


In my life, I have been subjected to various forms of discrimination and hatred, sometimes I feel like if we're all human and all struggling together in this world to make a better life for ourselves - why spend our time hating one another? I think it is also a timely message given all the fighting that's occurring in the world today...


Why not through come together with 'Love' for one another and 'feel alright' as the song goes...


What are your thoughts????


Peace and God bless ^__^

Kinky
 
Hmmm.. could we please have some constructive criticisms instead if its at all possible??


Many thanks in advance.

Of the choices you provided, One Love is my second choice after Free Bird. Musically I'd probably take One Love over Free Bird but as a user name it sounds as though you're trying a little too hard.

Peaceful Soul, Humble Soul and Fearless sound like you're trying way too hard.

Forever Young makes me think of a young person who dies and thus they're always remembered as "forever young"
