No more surname. Done for practical reasons, spurred/inspired by

Neil's recent username makeover.

Suspect this might help folks out, as my last name has never been particularly conversation friendly.

Yes, but how do you spell Corey? ;)

Enjoy the new name, along with such one name greats as Madonna, Cher, and Neil ;)

That is unimportant now. ;)

What I do think is important, is that I'm now officially a four letter word.

ETA: Just like Cher and

Neil .. (and

roz) ;)

How do you change your username? I don't really like marnet.

Funny you say that, I don't really like her either... ;)

Seriously though, you have to send expensive gifts to each of the site council, then they hold a hazing ritual, after that you draw from a hat of computer generated choices and that's your new name.

ETA: Netherwood or a play on it, like Netherwoods, or some such could be a killer username.

You know how much effort I expended learning how to spell your name? And now everyone else gets a free ride!? What a rip! Heck, I would not have known how to pronounce it had you not told me when I met you the first time.

Everyone is shortening and truncating their name.

I guess I have to become Va. :(

My username is already pretty short :-)
Unfortunately, it has absolutely nothing to do with my name, and was just made up on the spot.

What am I going to do now though!?!? They told me I couldn't change it again for six months... How am I ever going to live knowing that I'm going by the wrong spelling of my name!?
