The Look!I changed my name!, the official thread

[Caius]

Hey guys,

I think this would be a good idea...
I was Caius Flaminius, now Im Garcilaso de la Vega el Inca

Did you changed your original nickname?

Cheers

Garcilaso/Caius

[Csargo]

You're still CF to me

Russiancsar-Csar-Ichigo

[Stig]

[Caius]

Aye, your name is to difficult, I'll keep calling you Caius

You are very lazy.

Why God invented the copy and paste function?!

[Mikeus Caesar]

You're currently looking at a former Mikeus Caesar.

[CountArach]

You'll always be Caius.

[FactionHeir]

Can someone else change their name to Caius Flaminus then? :D

[John86]

I hate when people do this. Its bad enough Disco changes his chatname every 5 minutes.

[scotchedpommes]

Caius, as the only person to still refer to me by my old name, [and even dare to
do so almost correctly] I feel it would only be right for me to persist in calling
you by your original nym.

[GeneralHankerchief]

Name changing is a sign of weakness.

So what is your original name anyhow?

[Csargo]

Name changing is a sign of weakness.

It's a sign that you've moved on, which clearly you haven't :P

You haven't been here long enough to understand it ;)

Correct (without the second capital, though)

[Andres]

AndresTheCunning = Andres

Name changes should only be allowed if it makes our lives easier.

Sorry Caius, your name change cannot be accepted. You'll just stay Caius instead of Garcilosa de la, eh, mmm..., Las Vegas? Garcia Las Vegas? Bwah, whatever. Caius.

[doc_bean]

If you're going for such a radical name change and such a difficult name, don't expect people to remember who you were.

[Rodion Romanovich]

Hey guys,

Did you changed your original nickname?

Garcilaso/Caius

Damn, you could have chosen an easier name This one will take months to learn

[Husar]

I've been going with this name since I registered in long ago.
Someday I'll probably forget who you once were and think you're some random noob, it's entirely your own fault.

[Bijo]

Caius, Caius. What is the exact reason for the name change? As said before it should be made easier or more clear (but that is arguable). From Caius Flaminius to Caius would be the most logical and effective doing.

I will give you another reason for making it into Caius. Observe the language beauty when you regard the three vowel-ish letters in-between whereof one sounds not as a vowel if I'm correct.

Now in general:
Let us compare the two names:
* Caius
* Garcilaso de la Vega el Inca

The name Caius is clear, short, effective, and arguably a language beauty (to me), while the other is unclear, long, and ineffective as it possesses juxtaposition of too many elements.

I know I know: it is difficult to counter these arguments, or those already made before me. But as you now notice, the only only only only effective name is Caius. I vote it to be

[The Spartan (Returns)]

Aye, the frontroomers will just call you Caius.

You are lookin at the former Spartan of legendary ORG myth.

[Warmaster Horus]

Not just the frontroomers, anyone who's had dealings with Caius before.

[Kralizec]

In a very distant past (about 2 years ago) I registered as Germaanse Strijder. It was inspired by a running gag from my real life, but it practicly begs to be associated with very, very bad stuff

I first changed it to Krazilec, but that was a misspelling- so I changed it to Kralizec. Then to Fenring because I got bored with it. Later I decided that Kralizec was better afterall, so I changed it back. Both names I got from the Dune universe of Frank Herbert.

As for the future, who knows...

[Lorenzo_H]

I used to be diablodelmar. But I changed it. End of story.

I remember 'germaanse strijder' never made the connection with you though

Stick to your names people !

[Caius]

Just call me Inca.

[Motep]

I went from motep the great, to motep dra uha dnia mazzat, to Lord motep of kendermore, to just Motep. Makes it all a lot easier now, doesnt it?

I will not call you inca, Caius.
