creative workshops for newbies to help em pick a name.

[choprods]

I hardly ever notice anything, http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gifbut in the last couple of days I have seen a few new guys who have usernames that are painfully like established HAMBERS names .
I personally think flattery is more polite than immitation.
Won't that be confusing if it continues to happen?
I wont name em -but you surely have noticed it also. any one think its not a problem.............
I think they should either spend a little time and pick a name that is unique enough to be told from most others or maybe consider re registering? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif
and maybe putting more than one word in their profile might allow us to tell who they are. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[The37Kid]

I agree! One established member has a nice '32 three window, and the new guy doesn't, but the ID's are so close I can't tell who is who untill I read the post. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

[Rocky]

Hmmmmmmmmm, I personally haven't seen that happening but it's great advise, Kenny. One other point while choosing a name is not to tie it to your present car. When the car gets sold or leaves your possession for whatever reason, you're gonna look a little silly owning a 32 Deuce roadster coupe while enduring a name like " 42 Packard hoarder" .A generic name like "nose picker" may be better for you because it'll always stay in fashion to be a nose picker.
The very best names are ones that have been bestowed upon your ass by someone else....

My name was double fisted dick

[Falconer]

Well I'm sure us newbies can use all the advise we can get but....I ain't seen no other references to Falcons and my reference was thought through I'm pretty sure you know what a Falconer is. Also as for Changing names I may get another car (I have 4 Falcons Now)but I'll very likely always own A Falcon Sprint Because They are so COOOL! Thanks just the same I am new and obviously clueless. Go gently. [ QUOTE ]

[drgnwgn289]

i wish somebody already had my name when I registered...then I would have been forced to think of something better, something that wasn't so easy to make gay references to...

[Blownolds]

I got a kick out of that site. My new name is "Captain Cannibal", LOL

Now I gotta go run Ad-aware...

[tomslik]

mines "long john"

THE long john!

maybe that's where "the goose" got his name http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

[Junkyard Dog 32]

I don't think you can see the User List until you register and sign in, that would help.

I tried the link that CRAP posted and I'm now, Mad Dog Bonney.
Again with the dog... it must have something to do with my big red dick.

Hey... someone can have Big Red Dick if they want it. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[JimC]

Mad Ned The Executioner,
My NEW name.

[30roadster]

i was "Pegleg Jackson"
good advice not to use your current car as your screen name. I don't know who would think thats a good idea.... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

using your car as a base for your name sounds cool but when you meet up with HAMBers it's really hard to remember two names for them.... i need to switch mine to a variant of myreal name. An appropriate avatar would help distinguish members well too. cause my skull goes really well with pegleg jackson http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I agree with Rocky on this one. With a few exceptions, like Shiney, it seems rather short sighted to name yourself after your present car, but shit I change cars like I change pants, a several times a year so what do I know. Just last year I had a nailhead powered 23 T bucket, a 62 Sunliner and a 64 Ford Custom and that ain't counting pickups.

[TooMany2count]

my new name is Red Stefan The Gouger... now where the fuck did that come from???????????

Im one of those guys. Although, in my case, I was using the screen name on other boards and didn't think anyone here was using a screen name like it. Luckly, HellFish is a cool cat and doesn't mind much. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[zman]

My new name is "wooden head" Sounds like something my wife would call me. But I've been zman for as long as I can remember. People call me it in real life. Doesn't reflect a car or a bike. It's merely that they can't pronouonce my last name...

[Donzie]

Just call me Iron Leg Henson. Where in the hell did that come from? I tried it twice and got the same name so I guess it's right.

I agree about not using a name that's about your car. I did that when I set up my Ebay account. Now I'm stuck with XL390 ('67 Galaxie XL 390FE). The cool thing about my HAMB name is people actually call me by it, unlike 49fordrockabillyratrodder (who now drives a '63 Olds wagon).http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

[Smokin Joe]

That pirate names page tried to stick me with 2 viruses. But Trend caught them. Don't use it. If you did, delete the files in your internet temp directory!

[C9]

What we need here is a Name Czar.

Part of the registration process could be to use a number, list your attributes (if any), interests (boring or not), skills (we all got some, some more than others) and a pic of your ride.

The Czar will assign a name and that's it.

My vote for Czar would be Nads.
He's got it all together in a lot of areas and the areas that are not together are . . . not worth worrying about.... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

[TerrytheK]

Okay, I'm one of the newbies you referred to. And I just used my old "C-B handle".. (remember them??)

There was a band int he late 80's by that name. I still have the album for some reason. Kind of a college rock thing...

[stoggie]

I did it several times all GAY names - Red Boner or something. That is too gay even for here. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif Mine is just a spin on my last name that has stuck since elementary. Some people call me Troyboy to but that seems gay for a screen name too.
I couldn't use a project for a name - hell I never actually get anything done enough to name myself after it...or it would be 50 words long just from the amount of projects.

Great point to the orginal post however. Is there a way for people to browse names to check before they sign up? That way they do not step on someone's toes.
