I only use "Keffria" on webcomic-related forums, and then only because I started out with that nickname way back when we were still Keenspace and everyone knows me by it. On other forums, art sites, etc., I go by "Ancret" or "Amaryllis".

But I'm happy with my name the way it is.

I started out with a nick that was a combo of my hair color and name - Redabeth. Reda for short. Pronouced red dah, not re duh. Might have stuck to it if it wasn't for stalkers from my past :-?

The mrs_rkolter came about cause everyone knows me via rkolter. Those who know me well enough just call me by my first name :)

Change? I would go by BethK, as I sometimes do on chat.

Well. The first name I had ever used was HOLADER. I had made it up for a west wood account, so I could play RED ALERT online. That actually stuck with me for a bit. Not to to long ago, I was calling myself FRANTIC in some chatrooms. Then damn Metallica, came out with there St. Anger cd, and everyone was all like, Frantic, thats the name of a Metallica song. So I killed that name, cause I got tired of the connection. So I went back to holader for a bit. Then I got hooked onto MUDs. And needed to think up a good name for I. I had thout of of, KLONDARK, But I was forced to change that coause it was to close to some importand dude, can't remember what it was. So I thought for a bit, and I came up with EVANGIAR. I still use that name one like multiplayer games, like when we play big games of HALO. Then, I joined CG. First I was gonna make my name, BACKROADS. But I was like nah. At the time I was listening to RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE. So I thought, I know! I shall be, DAVE AGAINST THE MACHINE! I wouldn't change it if I could. Heh, Rock. My little bro was like kool_kid on hotmail also. thats hilarious.

EDIT: I bet you wern't wanting a long paragraph like that.

I used to be a bit troubled by "mcDuffies" because I like my real name and real-life nick and prefere going by it. But neither of those caught up so I separated: mcDuff for most of comic-related forums, Achim for other.

Now, I'd never change mcDuffies. At least in this community, "mcDuffies" has became related to me in people's mind. You might say that, instead of trying to make my name something that would describe me, in the end my name started describing me by association with me.

I'd probably just change it to Nate_Birch or Nathan_Birch.

JackHass doesn't always give off the right vibe. I'm a nice fella, honest.

I am Sheep! Hear me RAWR!

I'd change it to Sheep, my nick outside of the internet. But, since all of my online accounts anywhere are registered with Kilre, I might as well keep up tradition and stay the course.

Not if I take it first! I change my answer!

If I could change it here, I'd likely change it to LZorro, the nick I use on chat and everywhere else on the Internet. If only for consistancy. And "Tim" is somewhat generic and bland, Internet-ally speaking.

I'd pull a Grace Slick and start calling myself "god". With a lower-case "g", out of respect. :shifty:

I've started calling myself Dick Kittenheart elsewhere on the Internet, but I wouldn't want to change my nick here.

I have a few random little names. Not a big presence on the internet so I'm not too nitpicky about it. But I really like "Tellurider" because, I guess, I've got a lot of hometown pride. And I just like the way it sounds. :P

So THAT'S who LZorro is.

I went for the longest time wondering who the hell LZorro was.

No, I wouldn't change my name. Prettydragoon was inspired by Sailor Moon, and I think it describes me rather well in a graphical arts context.

I just assumed it was someone important.

I wouldn't change my name. I like Joel Fagin. However, it was nearly Daniel Phermous but I did something wrong there and it didn't work.

If I had to change, I'd go for Mordecai. I just like the sound of it.*

- Joel Fagin

* And, like Daniel, he's a character from one of my stories.

by Dr Legostar
yeah it's the name of my comic, but I like going by Legostar, or "Legs" is probably the most appropriate nickname I've ever had (both in the sense of it's fitting and it's not an insult) due to both it being a shortening of Legostar and what with my dancing and all.

I usually just go by Kat. When I joined here, though, that was already taken, so I stole the last name Jim uses, and became Kat_North. On other forums, I've also gone by Eilonwy.
