Changing a username?
- Thread starter Bozo Texino
- Start date
The same reason people said me misspelling schneid was a jynx. And to answer @Cesar Crespo’s question, I was thinking of something Pedroia related, or something honoring the ‘07 team, the team that won the year I signed up at SOSH. Or even going back to Bosox4416 is fine, I don’t mean to cause trouble at all!
I am sure you didn’t meant it in this way but I don’t appreciate being compared in any way to a white supremacist and a homophobe. Though I know of no similar allegations against Nomar (from what I’ve read he seems to be a great guy), I created this account about 16 years ago and I’m out on hero worship in general.
Sorry I know you didn’t mean anything untoward by it; I’m just extra sensitive to those things these days.
Done. I would have put in a comma to set off the Esquire with appropriate distinction, but the system won't have usernames with commas.
Can I get a name change to Sad Sam Jones?
Ford Frick's Asterisk was a carryover from a couple of other sites as a baseball history reference that wasn't team specific, but it's always felt Yankees-centric here.

Sorry I missed this for a few weeks. You're Sad Sam Jones now, but I hope you can cheer up.
Could I revisit this? I'd love "Dustin, The Wind" or just back to "Bosox4416"
SoSH used to have a policy against changing names, but it's antique and can be suspended. PM me with your preferred new name. Expect some reminder of your old username to show up in your tagline (ie, "still hates Dave Kerpen") -- we'd like to maintain some continuity and recognizability.
I'll do this only once per user, so choose wisely.
Well shit, how will I remember who this is now? 12 year member and they changed their name
Now that I am a member, could I change my name to Whoop-La White? And dump this monstrosity I made up during the AOL years?
RHP William "Whoop-La" White was not a Red Sox, but he was the first MLB player to wear eyeglasses on the field.

Mines a simple request, can my user name be changed to: TheMuddyChicken
SoSH is the only place on the inter webs where it’s two words and missing the the.
Thanks in advance.

I just went to do this and unfortunately there's another user with that username.
Could I be Sherm Feller, please? I realized about a half-second after I chose 'Ferm Sheller' that it's lame (which is about a half-second later than everyone else, I'm sure).

Old and crusty, but that user also exists.
I’m not the person I was when I picked this handle anymore. Could I become Late Yclept Chanticleer, please, presuming it isn’t already taken?
Dear SoSH,
Looking back 16 years, I see a version of myself that I deeply regret. I’ve spent every day on the main board learning, growing, and striving to be a better poster. If I could speak to the Wily Mo Lester of 16 years ago, I would tell him that change is possible. Today, I stand before you, ready to prove that I am no longer defined by my past mistakes. Granting me a user name change would be a crucial step towards rebuilding my user profile and contributing positively to Views and News and other serious boards.
Sincerely,
Wily Mo Lester
My favorite part of this is “presuming it isn’t already taken.”
Not a lot of Chaucerians on SoSH. I think you’re in the clear.

Could we perhaps revisit this? I feel like we have had some awful luck after this change, I know that's silly.
Happy to make a Jimmy Fun donation for the honor
OK, Dustin it is. Bring us some better luck. I hope you're not attached to a capitalized The.
We had another one once.
He loved garlic, onions, leeks, and drinking strong wine til he was hazy, then he would shout and jabber as if crazy, and wouldn't speak a word except in Latin when drunk.
Dude fit right in.
Back in the day I couldn't put an apostrophe for some reason...or I just didn't. If we can make it Reardon's Beard, well, the professor in me can finally put things right and drink a beer in celebration.
Welcome to the apostrophe club. Meetings on Tuesdays. New members bring Entenmanns.
