Default About time DMD had a "proper" username?

The way "diskmandave" came about, to cut a long story short... Back in the late '90s when Yahoo acquired eGroups I had to think of a nick' for the first time and to be quite honest, then is the same now in as much as I don't care who knows who I am!!! Anyway, I needed a nick' as my full name wasn't PC!

Frantically looking around the room where i'm sat to this day, not non stop I might add, my eye came across a floppy disk(ette) on the table and thus we had diskman (i've always been really inventive!)... Then come late 2004 having been served for 6 glorious years with the diskman handle cometh the start of my poker years, and the need for a handle with at least 8 letters... And so forth, diskmandave was born (there's inventive again)!!!

Now that Yahoo and the old poker fads have long since faded it's time to have a proper username for the first time!! So if you lot will indulge me, i'ld like suggestions please!

Will choose best on Saturday night!

edit: could we keep this sensible please!!!

3 choices so far are....
  • Kylander
  • Ordassan
  • FourLawn
All suggestions welcome! Will chose best on Saturday night...

Diskmandave - you are your username, or DMD. You can't change it now. You'll confuse the troops.

Also - all three alternative user names so far suck - to be frank.

No you can't change your name. DMD maybe but certainly nothing different.

I changed my name recently to Veronica Ramsbottom cos OH got a car with a personalised plate VR and it is cheaper to change name than to buy personal plate
