I think that adding it is a good idea. When i visited my friend from another team last year, I thought it was kinda cool when someone from their team refered to me by my CD handle. I hear my name everyday and i really like the idea of having a nickname that you can control.

118 - team number(GO ROBONAUTS -118)
Tech - School that i goto(GUNz UP, Texas Tech), and kind sorta BIG Tech geek.

Chris - Name that too many people have
David - Since it is a first name also and people get confused whenever people ask for my last name and i tell them David, they keep asking for my first name

I may call it 'Alt. Name: ' or 'AKA', that way people w/names as their username can put their online name there. Those with the online name can put their real name there. It'll serve both people a purpose.

Can you do it so it appease under our names or avitar on each of our posts?

Brandon,
are we allowed to have you change our usernames again if this goes through?
Either way that would be cool, because the username gives people some personality that you dont get through reading their posts...

I'll be adding the 'AKA' field soon.

And Kevin: I'll still gladly change usernames (but only to real names, now). Just send me a PM or e-mail.

excellent idea....why didn't i think of that? :D

hey brandon thanks for the option, cant wait to use it and now finally match real names with user names.

That was fast...Good job, Brandon.

Cool!

The CogSquad site also uses this feature, and it has been a big help to tell between users.

Im all for it./
