Like the title says, this thread is for you (yes, even you h()()t, I don't discriminate around here) to help me, thrdflrmshr, come up with a new AIM screenname.
I will be taking suggestions from everyone. The first cool one that I see will be registered. If I see another cool one, well, I'll register that too.
Show me the money!!
Criteria
------------------------------------------------------------------------
No third floor references. I'm sick of it.
No TAO references. As much as I love this game, I don't want it in my AIM name.
No band references. Not even to my own band. It's silly.
No funky characters like underscores or backslashes. Yes, even in suggestion by you, Elentari. They're tacky and silly.
No numbers. That's just really tacky.
Keep the tiger references down, but if you come up with an awesome C&H one, I'll probably like it.
Keep it general, vague, but cool. I want something that will roll off of one's tongue, but be catchy enough for everyone to remember.

Isn't every name under the sun taken? I got so sick of trying to find myself a name, I wished plagues upon AOL users around the world! It inspired me, and my name is a combination of two Biblical plagues :D
Don't ppl have to register the names to see if they will work? At that point, you can't use the name any more...
Elentari

No thirdfloormosher!!! I declare that all people who suggest thirdfloormosher will be beaten down (by myself of course) with a hose.
Now, might I suggest Whitney Houston? How about Fresh Peas? :D;)

Why do you need a new one? third_floor_mosher is cool...
Anyway, how about...hmm I'm not good at this, my AIM is the nickname my friends gave me...

tacticaltigger
No reason, just popped in me head.

Serge and xerent, this isn't for TAO. It's for AIM. For fear of god awful porn spamming, I'm not going to post my name here, but it's been the same since seventh grade. It has my birthday numbers in it. That's so 1997.
Serge

I assumed thirdfloormosher was your AIM for some reason... I say it's a good name because of the story behind it, a name means more if it means something. (<-- Wow wasn't that deep):rolleyes:
thrdflrmshr
07-14-2004, 08:32 PM
I agree. So find me a meaningful name. Now! Please?
thrdflrmshr
07-14-2004, 08:42 PM
I posted some criteria for the name in the first post. I also have some categories for suggested names. Keep 'em coming, guys. I'm really sick of my friends giving me corny Marvel references and of the raised eyebrows when I tell people my AIM name in public.
xerent, I've decided that tacticaltigger is too childish. As a youg man of nineteen, I think it would misrepresent... ah who am I kidding, I just don't think I'd like it.
Also, I thought of a cool one, but not for me. This is for the crazy dude who always drinks a little *too* much at the parties.

I've had my apz sn for god knows how long. My primary sn for aim is currently anges tombe. I just love French. I also like using German because of the way it sounds. But anyways... Oxymorons are fun but here are my suggestions...
-Bold Monkey
-Grasping Life
-The Hazy Express
-Hazy Expressions
-Hopeless Fate

Hmm...
How about SnowManProphetOfDoom? Seriously, I think Fresh Peas is bad ass. Also, foreign languages is good.
ArcPaladinZero
07-14-2004, 10:03 PM
Funky Monkey?
Elentari
07-14-2004, 10:09 PM
But fresh peas is taken :(
Don't ask me why...
Did you try sticking it together? Like, FreshPeas? Fresh_Peas? Fresh/Peas? There are quite a few ways to get such dumb things as a taken name without using numbers if you're feeling particularly inventive. :)

I tried to make my AIM name "Mike wears PANTS" but to my extreme surprise it was taken.

Ugh... my aim is wierd, i just never felt like going and telling everyone that my AIM is different, so it's still the same.
Elentari
07-14-2004, 10:37 PM
I despise my aim name, which is why I made a new one, and then promptly forgot it :rolleyes:. So, I'm making a new one... or rather, a new new one...
Edit: Me want shoe pretty!!! (http://a1624.g.akamai.net/7/1624/1463/infinite/www.saksfifthavenue.com/media/images/products/enlarge/E0441946730735_74bd0.jpg)

While I am actually at work, I'll probably have some time to look over these new suggestions at some point.
I'm pretty sure that SnowmanProphetOfDoom is already taken, plus it's kind of a silly name, anyway. Look at it, it seems as though it's two names in one.
I don't like Funky Monkey, or much of your suggestions APZ. Nothing against you or your names, but they're just too... cliché.
And, Tama. No band references.
Everyone read my criteria in the first post. I've updated it, and also the suggestions list.
Keep 'em coming guys. If I see a few cool ones I might "integrate" some ideas.

Byouhei - Translatable to an evil influence, like one of a disease.
thrdflrmshr
07-15-2004, 07:27 AM
Nice to know how highly you think of me.
Translatable from which language?
God your so picky.

Japanese.
You know... you have a decent list of what you don't want... if you want our help, you might find more of it if you included a few things you might want to see in this name.
thrdflrmshr
07-15-2004, 08:26 AM
You're right. It's just that I have seen so many bad AIM names and my current one is super horrendous.
Some examples of what I think are good names:
Pyschocirrhosis
Transmogrified
Durdenesque
Assombrie
xerent
07-15-2004, 09:16 AM
A couple more suggestions.
This one I don't think you'll like, but it's pretty cool.
'ygolohcysp'
Another: Kind of lame, but I thought I would throw it in. Also not original.
'IntoxicatedFurby'
Also we have: (Original)
ChiaMonger
More as I think of them.

Oh, so random big words that really don't make much sense... well here's some more APZ suggestions for ya!
-Vociferous
-Phrontistery
-Arachibutyrophobia (That's the fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth)
-Uncharacteristically
-Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoco (Yeah that's a real friggin' word)
Take that Mr. Picky!

Psychocirrhosis - It's a play on psychosis. It's funny.
Transmogrified - The ultimate Calvin and Hobbes reference. Unfortunately, it's taken.
Durdenesque - The first rule of Fight Club: We don't talk about Fight Club. Sir.
Assombrie - Darkened. It's French, a language that I know. It's a cool word, too.
All these ones I named are very relevant and make a lot of sense. The peanut butter and volcanic dust inhalation names don't make any sense to me at all.
I do love Phrontistery, though. What a great word.

That's the joy of finding a new, relevant, fun, and personal name.

I know, every word has a meaning I just felt like bursting out some random words I could find. Oh don't worry, I'll be sure to find some more random words.

You can't use special characters like "à" in AIM screen names, can you?
I want to use Facile à Utiliser, a) I do not think I can use à, and b) Facile a Utiliser would look dumb and it's probably taken.
Does TheUltimatePhilodox sound too arrogant?
ArcPaladinZero
07-15-2004, 10:31 AM
You don't really want something that's rediciously long and that does sound a little pompous.
thrdflrmshr
07-15-2004, 11:07 AM
I registered Je me revolterai. I haven't decided if I'll use it, but it's cool.

Any language besides English is good. Everything just sounds better when it's not in... well English. :D
Personally my favorite aim name is Evi1 McGee but my primary one is still Anges Tombe.
