View Full Version here: : The boss (Admin) doesn't like my name - please help.

Dear members, I, a humble, no nothing, newbie joined this fabulous forum with the user name 'Guest', in the quest to learn more about our wonderful universe.

Actually I thought the name 'Guest' quite appropriate but sadly it seems to be causing confusion.

Boss (Admin) has asked me to change it. I requested "Scotty" as in 'Scot me up Beamie' but this is taken. :(

So I thought "Reject Guest" might be unique enough and less confusing, but alas this is also not to be.

Lacking creative talent that pleases all and sundry I am all at sea. Generous members please help a bewildered and confused newb to an appropriate name. All suggestions gladly received.

Mean time I can get back to figuring out what my first scope will / should be!

Clearing and dark skies are beckoning...

maybe you could take the opposite line and call yourself "intruder"

hmmm, welcome intruder, sounds a bit odd, but hey my imagination is clearly non existant given my own tag here.

cheers,

Wot about a really nerdy astronomy based name like,

M45, PROXIMA CENTAURI, SANDULEAK -69 202, LALANDE 21185 or URANUS:P

But I think I have to first graduate to some nerdy knowledge before I get an astronomy name - don't want to queue jump.
