Title: iamzack's new surname
Post by: iamzack on February 08, 2011, 08:08:02 pm
It costs money to change one's name... I have to submit proof of good character and a good enough reason for changing my name and stuff...

I still haven't picked one though.

No, I read them both as threats since the elephants are still 20+ miles from where I live. And the pink strapon is a pretty weak threat, tbh.

There should be some kind of "International carry that **** out day", where people who make threats on the internet have to follow through. You could have charities fly the less fortunate trolls out to distant places and stuff.

I believe she'd do it though.

@ NGTM-1R I don't get how letting you slander yourself is a threat.

I tend not to change names and advise others to do the same.

Pretty much that. Daddy is an evil bastard who I haven't spoken to in 7 or 8 years AND whose last name is boring and ugly.

As for choosing a family name from my mother's side... my choices are all things like Niebuhr, Sadilek, and Yaspelkis..

Seriously though, (meaning with more than a minimal degree of tong-in-cheek), how about Emerald Plaza?  I can't recall exactly where I heard that one, but it just popped in there.  While we're on the subject of puns, you may have indicated a disdain for puns in your poll, but even "Emerald Adama" could itself be interpreted as a loose pun.

Emerald Personality-Disorder doesn't quite have what I'm going for...

I'm leaning towards Thrace, because I do like the way it looks and sounds with my first name. It does have the issue of being a popculture reference, and I already graduated from The Baltar Institute for Girls, so...

Bottles is just because I like the word. I think it'd make a cute nickname, and I could justify asking people to call me Bottles if it's my last name. :P I like my first name well enough, but it feels weird and alien to be called by it or any of the shortened forms people tend to use... dunno why.

I suppose the shortened form would be "Em", which is also a commonly used short for "Emily", so it isn't all that uncommon.  In fact, you could do a play on that and whenever someone calls you "Em", follow it up with a lame James Bond reference or something.
