Would you change your username? (92 Viewers)

If so, what would you change it to?

 

[TripleRangeMerger]

I didn’t realize how involved I would get here and didn’t really even know anything about poker chips when I joined. Also my username is too long and clunky.

Ideally I would change it to reflect my chipping tastes, maybe something like “Md72”. Even shortening it to “TripleRange” or something would be convenient.

 

[Jaxen]

Considering my username is my last name and it's how it appears on my plate ...

Unrelated @TripleRangeMerger ... you do anything with those RPTs yet?

 

[GamingWithChips]

I wouldn't change mine, thought about it for about 1 minute when making my account and I like it, think it's decent.

Side point, can we restrict people from changing their profile photos? Like you can only change your photo once every 6 months or 1 year? Not a big deal, but I identify people by their picture and get confused when I see a new one

 

[inapinch]

Never. I’m always in a pinch.

I like your username, it's clean and to the point.

As for the RPT, playing around with a few things right now but here's a sneak peak at the basic idea:

Will have to see how it looks printed and I don't like the font (and the fly rod makes no sense here). But I figure it's a start and the right idea for a "river" themed chip. I'll post more mockups and variations in the chip design subforum when I get some free time to get it all arranged.

If I changed I would go with @floor

 

[gewoonawesome]

Just got here.. maybe after 2700days to GeneralSomethingPokerRelated or hotdogs!

 

[Rieguy]

I would either shorten mine to Rie/Rob or expand it absurdly until I hit @ReallyGoodUsername status to where a single letter hangs off onto the next line to tilt people. Or have a few letters/numbers hang off that make something juvenile.

 

[LowerBama1714]

How else would I remember my atm code?

 

[mike32]

Mine was my name on HomePokerTourney, PerfectManCave and ChipTalk. I'm sticking with it.

 

[liftapint]

Nah. I'd keep it. But @TRKgal or something would be good too.

 

[Vinyard]

UberAllDay!!!!

 

[arch3r]

I'd change it to @Josh Kifer. Drat, it's already taken.

 

[ballefrans]

“Ballefrans” is a Norwegian slang term, usually used humorously or as a mild insult to describe someone who is acting foolish, annoying, or clumsy. The exact meaning can vary somewhat depending on the region and social context.


It can refer to someone who:

• Is being an idiot or fool: “Don’t be such a ballefrans.”
• Is joking around or not taking things seriously.
• Is making something unnecessarily complicated or behaving in a silly way.

The word is made up of:

• “Balle”, which in Norwegian slang can refer to testicles or be used as a crude exclamation.
• “Frans”, a common male first name that functions here as a generic stand-in for “guy” or “fellow.”

It’s an informal expression that can be considered somewhat vulgar, but it’s often used playfully among friends.


Example:


“You idiot, you left your keys in the refrigerator!” (A natural English equivalent rather than a literal translation of “Din ballefrans, du satte jo nøklene i kjøleskapet!”)

 

[ballefrans]

Is ballefrans a good username for an online forum?

Yes, it can work well—but it depends on the impression you want to make.


Pros:

• It’s quirky and memorable.
• Most Norwegians will see it as humorous and self-deprecating.
• It gives the impression that you don’t take yourself too seriously.

Cons:

• It contains the word balle, which is somewhat vulgar. Some people may find it inappropriate, especially in professional or family-friendly environments.
• People who don’t speak Norwegian are unlikely to understand the reference and may assume it’s just a random username.
• Some forums have filters or rules against usernames containing profanity or sexual references, even though ballefrans is commonly recognized as a fixed slang expression rather than an explicit insult.

If the forum is informal (gaming, Reddit, hobby communities, etc.), Ballefrans is a funny and fairly distinctive username. If it’s a professional or academic forum, I’d recommend choosing something more neutral instead.

ChatGPT is spot on.

 

[BarrieJ3]

@BarrieLvl3 or @BarrieGhey3. Possibly @WhatIsItGone.

I believe I used @RonMexico and @RickySpanish as a joke account and to pm admins when banned.

You can have it. I'd go back to my CT name.
