Username Change - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered people coming out

Miaplacidus · 19th Jun 2008, 09:46 PM

I don't know, I think it might be good to change my username to "Frederick Xavier"... not very creative, just first and middle name. The trend seems to be using one's name as the username so...

Should I?

davo-man · 19th Jun 2008, 10:02 PM

How about you just got for "Fred" or "Frederick. People are going to shorten it to that anyway. Regardless, I would vote for the second one, because I prefer it when I can call someone by their real name.

Hoppip · 19th Jun 2008, 10:04 PM

Really? I like Miaplacidus. It's a really cool... wordname. And I think that knowing your name should be more of a privilege, since you're cool.

...

And I like knowing cool people's names. xD

LOVEjames · 19th Jun 2008, 10:13 PM

I have to agree with Davo... I like Frederick by itself. ^_^

Paralyzer · 19th Jun 2008, 10:21 PM

I agree with davo-man that it should be shorter (not include Xavier)
BUT
I also agree with seanathon on his whole post.

It wouldn't really matter to me if you changed you name based on those options because I think of you as both Fred and Miaplacidus so I think you should really only change it if you want to.

TyraBanksIsFierce · 19th Jun 2008, 10:22 PM

Keep Miaplacidus.

Samii · 19th Jun 2008, 10:28 PM

I like Mia-san~ Hehe.

cc6log · 19th Jun 2008, 10:38 PM

Real names are better "if you don't mind them being public" Big fan of the first and middle name together here.

Daniel · 19th Jun 2008, 11:03 PM

Frederick! I like the name.

Tim · 20th Jun 2008, 12:01 AM

I personally like Fred, as that's what I'm used to calling you, but Frederick Xavier would be good =P I never really understood miaplacidus, and it's hard to type lol.

And on that trend thing, I requested a name change back to myzou, as tim is bugging me as I get my posts mixed up with Toms, and that's never good o.o; But Paul is busy w/ the EC changes atm =P

James · 20th Jun 2008, 04:31 AM

Keep your current username.

panda · 20th Jun 2008, 07:58 AM

Miaplacidus is one of the brightest stars in the night sky. It also means "Placid Waters"
So that seems to fit you perfectly.
Also you have your name Frederick Xavier below so that covers everything.

Andrew · 20th Jun 2008, 08:29 AM

Keep it :]

or get Fred ^.^

interstella · 20th Jun 2008, 09:50 AM

^^ exactly what I was going to say!

Nodnarb · 20th Jun 2008, 09:54 AM

Hmmm....I like Miaplacidus. I think you should keep it.

Keep it. It's quite a cool name!

MeskElil · 20th Jun 2008, 10:59 AM

I like it, but if you really want to change it I would suggest Xavier all by itself...because it's just a cool name!
