I need to come up with a nickname for myself. And I think you all know me well enough to help me out on this one Posted Image

It needs to be smart and snazzy. It needs to work as a band name (for me, a part of a band) and for school purposes i.e someone asks what my name is...and I say.."IT's [insert hip name here]

Let's get to work!

To answer the topic title, I'd say "letters".

Flags, you forgot you were demeaning her with that name. Its "Spambot 4000."

µ, just pick something that makes you µ, and from there transform it into something you want to be called. Having other people name you, people who hardly know you in reality, is not that great of an idea. Ultimately its your name, so its something you have to decide.

How about just µ. If I ever met you in person (and was aware that it was you) that would be what I would call you. But pronounce it "you" or "ewe" your call.

On the band name front, a friend of my name is going to name his band (if he ever gets one) Small Pox. All of the album titles are going to be symptoms. The first album (if it ever exists) will be called Blinded for Life, and once he's established a fan base (around 5th album) he's going to name one Lesions or Lesions of Fans.

I second FGS's idea, we all call you µ, I think it fits.

I think that was inappropriate, Shinobi. I certainly don't mind Moonunit. I like her, in fact.

There are other ways to get whatever anger you have off of your chest. If you are particularly angry with her, you can email her, or wait until school tomorrow and talk to her face to face.

An angry, insulting reply to a regular reply was unnessecary and rude, and does nothing to advance the community. I'm sure everyone would appreciate it if you would cease and desist from saying those things.

How do you think Tripps got his nearly 15k posts? You can e-mail andrew and request a title... but the chances are slim you will get it.
