This is driving me nuts. I've had about 5 screennames total on AIM and I can't seem to stick with just one, and now what I've got is about 5 different screennames, each with a different buddy list, and it's getting frustrating trying to keep up with who knows what screenname. So now I'm to the last resort: ask Massassi. The two names I use mostly right now are Roy cIX and Paradigm Astray, and to be honest I think I can do better than that... basically I want a name that's neat for me, but that I wouldn't be emberrased to tell somebody I knew in real life.

Questions? Comments? Snide remarks?

Do you have stairs in your house?

Oddly, I have the same problem as you .
I usually make one, and just revert back to the first one I ever had. That would be my suggestion, just go to the first one.

sorry, not going the cheesy letter/number substitution rout. and I can't use Correction because that used to be my screenname when we had AOL, and apparently you're not allowed to use old AOL names in AIM. Which is dumb. :\

Are you sure about that? I have seen a lot of people log onto AIM with AOL screennames. Try it.

no, it's because the account has been cancelled. it says I'll have to reactivate the account to use it again. so basically until we reactivate our old AOL account, that names screwed forever

There is no signature

The "paradigm astray" one is somewhat clever, maybe substitute some different words or something... I don't know, it probably sounds more like a band name.

Replace Co in Correction with an E. There! You got an easy to remember name!

That's mostly why I don't like it. I made it with something totally different in mind, and unintentially made a catchy punk rocker band name (or so according to many others). :\

That's not what I want though It's not that I don't want to give any up, it's that I don't like what I've got.

As if that one's still up for grabs. Eh, ladies?
