Morning Funsters... I love to follow all these interesting (mostly) topics.
I am sure it is not just me but some threads can be really difficult to follow especially if halfway through the thread one,or more, of the posters name changes.
I.E. following a thread with someone with a Funster handle of Bobcar (apologies if there is actually a Bobcar out there) is suddenly referred to as Brian.
Now I appreciate that there is a lot of friendships out there and it is easy to use a person's given Christian name but for ease of use, not to mention my sanity could I please appeal to you all to use Funsters Names when on the forum and save the Christian names for the rally field.
Regards

Nice one Tom
 
I have never understood the need for 'nicknames' when registering on any forum.

I have always used my name if possible, what's the reason? some user names are simply ridiculous, and appear to be some weird Internet persona..

’.....weird internet persona’ just about sums it up!!!

How do I tell Shirly Smith she is nuts
Without offending the other 44 Shirly Smiths.
Before Shirly Smith comes on having a go at me, I wasn't talking to you.

There is sometimes a good reason for that. Some employers very aggressively search the internerd for their existing and future employee's social exploits "for HR purposes". One previous employer has a zero tolerance of anything to do with having a good time, so it sometimes helps.

And anyway my real name of Darth Vader draws a little too much publicity and unwelcome light sabres
 
Mine's a nickname of 55 years usage by family and friends (and it's also my pen name in biking magazines). It's also part of my simple email address (spriddler@..... .com) to save needing to create a long-winded one, e.g. Richard-smith.family_45@yahoo.co.uk........ if there are already many Richard Smiths who have had to register with a multitude of creative variations.

P.S.
I'll only go so far as to say that mine's a contraction of my two kids' nicknames: daughter 'Sprinkler' and son Widdler'. :rolleyes: How they laughed.

You haven’t asked, bit I’ll tell you.
Using my user name is a long drawn out sort of invalid protest 🤔
When I joined a company early in my career when usernames became necessary, the IT dept named me kevenh 😳. I was a little put out to be rechristened but allegedly it was unreversible

I assume kevinh was already taken. I’ve no idea why he/she didn’t think kevinh2 would work but hey ho.
I’ve ended up with a pretty unique user name I can take to most forums & find unused.
& it’s pretty close to my real name 😛
