Need help now - Rally - 05-19-2014
So, I've been around enough now to realize "mikeferrari" doesn't cut it as a handle. Normally I hate aninimity on boards because it, usuallt, is license to act out, but not here. Still, I need a name. What shall it be? My Cedro Dormmates called me Fagowi ( based on a racist African-centric joke) and I have suffered through various derivations of my name, but I expect more than that. Tony Soprano, for example, is a no pass, as is Elliot Ness. Cowboy Indian is taken, and I can't even guess what Redrun means.
So, any suggestions?Â
Thanks.

I'd opt against anything racist, sexist, anti-Semitic, homophobic, islamophobic, or anything else -icky.
You could always choose your first name, as Kathy, Nan3cy, terry, and I do. You could use your surname, as Garvin does. How about your favorite bar as oasis does? Then, there are all kinds of combinations of Cardinal, Stanford, and Farm. It's hard to tell those apart, though.

That's a lot of characters, in the name, I mean.

El Skunk. That was the nickname of my imaginary hitman in high school.

Why not just use your last name?
Ferrari
Nice and clean and no nasty double entendre. That approach works for garvin.
In fact, you could even go all lower case, for effect.
ferrari
Yeah, I kind of like that.
Yup. Ferrari. Just plain Ferrari. - Redrum - 05-19-2014
They're red. And vintage. And badass. And the P4 prototypes are some of the most sought after race cars in the world. Gotta be Ferrari.

NOW will you just accept that Ferrari is perfect nom de guerre?

Jacob Kuisl is too obvious? Well , maybe on this board or, perhaps, a historical mystery fan board.

If you wanted to be inspired by Oasis, but not repetitive, you could always go with DutchGoose. :)
(I hung out at the "O" for years - a lot - but finally it got depressing, for many reasons too long to go into, and I found I prefer the burgers at the Goose.)
Alternatively, I don't think anyone has taken Classof69...

If I were choosing a new handle, there would only be one possible choice:

Yellow is the color that the human eye recognizes the fastest. That's why taxis are yellow. I've incorporated that into my families' fashion aesthetic. We wear a lot of yellow, orange and red shirts so that we can find each other in crowds. Fortunately these colors coincide with my teams high school (yellow), orange (Bengals), and red (Stanford). Now I wish I bought cars in these colors for safety reasons. I had a conversation with my pre-schooler about the color of her future car. I informed her that I would buy her a yellow Subaru. She demanded pink. I said how about orange. She countered with purple. We compromised on red.
Back to the original topic for Mr. Ferrari. I suggest "FerrariRed" which honors your surname as well as our school color. It's also an industry term for a particular shade of red. If you want to be more esoteric, how about "RossoCorsa" which means racing red in Italian.

I am reminded of the scene from Animal House where John Belushi assigns nicknames to the new pledges. Tried to find it to post here, but I lost patience. "You will be Weasel. You will be Flounder. You will be . . .Â

While your handle is an important decision, I think that you should also decide to rotate that photo under your handle by 90 degrees clockwise.
