List of people here who changed their names

Post by LSOF »

This is to be a list of people who were on the old NOM who changed their names for new NOM, posted at AllieOop's request.

- LSOF (formerly lsof)
- Korihor (formerly Kishkumen)
- Silver Girl (formerly Scared)

If you changed your name from old NOM, or know of someone who did, you may post your (their) old name here.

IF you want your current "identity" linked to your past "identity".

Indeed; that's why I said "you may". As far as I know, none of the persons I listed changed their names for the sake of anonymity. If any did, they may notify me, and I shall remove them.

Thanks LSOF for starting this thread. I agree with you that if someone wants anonymity, we'll all respect that, of course.

Previously "The Beast." Now, still "The Beast," but it is pronounced differently. Please pm for for the pronunciation guide. ;)

Actually, yes, but you must trill while you say it.

I was formerly known as "Jelph" on the other NOM.

Excellent point. If some feared their old names may have given away their "in real-life identity", they might seek to avoid the pitchforks and torches of their fellow ward members when speaking their mind on this forum.
Good faith does not require evidence, but it also does not turn a blind eye to that evidence. Otherwise, it becomes misplaced faith.

I noticed I have to look closely at the names, because I was so used to looking at Avatars. I guess I'm guilty of that, too. :)

Especially when your avatar was some anthropomorphized rodents in choir garb, with a backstory, to boot!

Yup, I will need to log into Facebook (blocked at work) to get that image back. I forgot about my little choir squirrels.

They've changed a bit, they are still wearing their robes (they are reformed) but have been given the names "Cletus" (after a horrible impression I gave of our director from Oklahoma where I whistled my S sounds) and "Dorcas", a failed amateur organist who was attempting to secure a position. It wasn't so much a poke at her, but we all thought the name Dorcas (a biblical name) was hilarious.

I changed from InsideLookingOut.

Had wanted to change for a long time and this gave me the opportunity. I actually lifted Vlad from another, completely unrelated, board, but I'm a huge fan of Dracula/Halloween so I decided to steal it. :D

That's how I felt about it - I would have kept using my original name had the old board continued, but once I was no longer scared of the fact the church was a complete fraud (and had been through the whole outrage and acceptance stages, etc.) I wanted a new name that showed strength, a future and happiness.

That is me too, I upgraded from apprentice of the anti-christ to the anti-christ. I just don't care as much anymore, as evidenced by my apathy to change back my avatar.
