Myself included, get a mite ticked when someone posts in a manner which insinuates a generalization that we (collectively) aren't capable of choosing an appropriate user name. I took it as being presumptuous to make a sweeping generalization which is highly inaccurate.

I suppose that is because you do not recognize it as the title of a song, which happens to be my favorite Jazz song.  I also love to learn, and I am willing to do so.  This is not just about BDSM, but all things.  I do understand though how without the back story someone could read it wrong.

And how do you know you are not doing the same thing!!!

Many would read your name and think  your asking  fuck me tonight---why on earth would any one on a site such  this,  suspect it is a jazz  song title ????  if on a jazz music site ...then yes  people would likely understand it's meaning ...  maybe you need to add another rule

---Make the name appropriate for the type of site you are on , so that it is not misinterpreted as to have another meaning

seriously who are you to tell us how we should go about considering nicknames for a public forum like this?  who put you in charge of approving/disapproving screennames? you offered your opinions/advice and so did the rest of us - granted not all of us agreed with you. are we suppose to?  the names we choose were created by our own choice and i'm sad to say without your assistance.

So... this is not about one true way... it is about some tips.  Take them or leave them, I don't really care. 

Since you asked... TeachMeTonight is the title of my favorite song and reflects my love of learning. 


Is it a slow song by any chance?

I'm stella but you can call me matildathinksshesabitofalezzie

I first joined the site when I was living in Poland back in 2005.

My original nick or screen name was brzytrzywzgrobina.

This might be a bit of as mouthful for anyone here but it just rolled off the tongues of the Poles.

It's nothing fancy like the title of a song or anything, just the first word my first Polish Mistress uttered when she saw the size of my underwear.

If you think our screen names are bad, have you browsed some of the Chinese profiles? They allow spaces as they all speak in syllables.

No Ma King - this is a married male sub who doesn't want his wife to know.

Suk Yu Dik - Shangai female submissive, very popular with male Doms.

Shitzong Mi - a Taiwanese male toilet slave.

Cho Kon It - Chinese Master, bit of an uber Dom

Wan Hung Lo - a Chinese sissy maid

Ram Dill Do - not sure, I think his profile was written in Thai. Might be Korean.

What's in a nick?

Quite a lot of prisoners, some screws, lots of cells, maybe a few policemen, barbed wire, high walls.

We get what you are saying, however its like preaching to the masses in Perfume after they smelled the ideal scent---first the debacle then the realism--smiles.

Status: offline 		The beauty of a totally open naming convention is that people say quite a bit about themselves, sometimes inadvertently.

I would much rather have it be the case that people are allowed to choose totally asinine names for themselves and I can quickly eliminate them from my "worth dealing with" list after a cursory further review than to have to spend much more time reading through "name that was forced on person number 12's" profile or posts in order to realize that they are, in fact, a sub-human neanderthalic twit.

Anything that provides me with a full picture of who someone is contains value; making people name themselves in some particular way isn't going to change who they are, so I'd rather know what they really think and be able to make better informed decisions.

Also, I am annoyed by any nick with vowels in it, along with all those that use more than one consonant.

Ahem.

Perhaps, since you stepped on your dick so badly here, you will be changing your own nick soon. May I suggest, "IhaveaPointbutaGoodHatwillCoverit" ? Or "SteppedonmyDickneeda NewNickquick"?

You have provided the crowd with a lot of laughs, though, and for that, I thank you.

I was just thinking the same thing and then if they decided to change their nic they would be breaking another rule.

I'm sure mine breaks some rules but i'm not changing it.

Greetings,
I sort of wish I could change mine. I'd like to use the same nick everywhere, to avoid confusion. Still, mine does say something about who I am and what interests me.

ps77....cuz 77 is better than 69.
