/me stands on his head

oh wait, go-err, andy, didn't tell us to yet...

as for changing names, i've had "Ian W." since i signed up, and i'm pretty sure my last name is fully spelt out in my signature (i have the coolest email address, no? :p).

Re: Real names, please
 

Tell David Fluck that....



I'm too lazy to change mine... my last name's in it anyways....

Though I have been quiet lately I think a few people still know who I am. I don't remember the name I originally signed up with but I do remember asking Brandon to change it at some point- it's been too long ago to commit to memory. At any rate, I was wearing a name tag at SVR, LA, and the Championships so anyone who wasn't sure if it was really me because my hair is long now, wasn't looking hard enough. For those of you complaining about my pic to me all I can say is that at least my hair was brown this year! :p

Re: Re: Real names, please
 

ouch. Thanks Jeremy... :p

Yeah just because D.J. isn't whats written on my birth certificate doesnt mean that it isnt my name ;)

Baaaaaaaaa-aaaaa-aaa
 

I promise I was going to do this a year ago, but I was really busy. It's kind of liberating not having to hide behind a name assigned to me by the Rose-Hulman computing center. I am who I am, and so is Popeye.

I just made my name,my name, so I wouldn't forget it when I log in at school. I think is is alot easier to talk to someone from these forums when you know there real name.


Some of at us MOE had solved this name problem at comp's with our pins

" Hi My Name Is Kyle(or any other name)
And I Build Robots

Hug ME"(patent pending).

I think anyone can guess what my name is...

and its not m.c. hammer

Well, ever since I have been on CD.com, i have used my nick name (Matt). It seems to work just fine... :D

My real name is Maher (Said with a strong 'A'. Not like Bill Maher)

If Andy asked, then yes I would. :D (and thus ends today's quota of sucking up)

-dave (soon to be "Dr. Autonomous")

OK... now you did it.

All of you - stand on your head, now!

Let's see red faces!

Count to 100, then stand back up.

WoW! I didn't know what a big deal putting your FIRST name was...I have always liked sort of being under a different name, but if you want to know my real name, then my name is >>>.stephan1e.<<< I think that anyone who has ever met me knows that I love the color pink, and if they know what team I am on---they can find me very easily. I like reading everyone's reply, and I can agree with everyone on this subject. I relate to the girl who wanted to talk to the guy @ nationals but didn't know his name, I see why using the first name is important. But at the same time, I like using a different name because it gives a sense of individuality and adds personality to the person you are reading about (and on this site, since there isn't much personality TO put in so I think that the more you can add, the better...but thats just me and I like being different...:D ) So I think that you should be you and do what you gotta do! (wait, isn't that a commercial of some kind? :) ) Thank you and I don't want to sound as if I'm preaching....so please no one get offended to what I said...:D !

And, I always thought I was just being boring for using my real name... I remember I couldn't think of anything good to put in my name when I first signed up, so I just used my real name. Guess I was on the right track all along.

It really does help to have your real name up, especially if you have a "Who Am I" pic. It's so much nicer to be able to say hi to someone by name.

I can just see hundreds of people running up to Andy at IRI yelling, 'Look what I can do!' and standing on their heads... Jeez.

I agree... if your name is your trademark, keep it.
After all, who can ask FIRST's most famous mohawk to change?

Joshua David Hambright will always be Dwarf or 'the kid with the mohawk' to everyone else. :D
