My favourites at Ahern were:

EmergencyRepair Kit
TooHighA Price

There was this big WWF wrestler type, with the name:
TipToeThroughTheDaisies Harrison

And the guy who had the dead pose, who would walk in, and immediately go through death throes and then fall to the ground dead. He would lie there for ages (guess he went off and did some gardening in RL), and other avis would have to walk around him, or step over him, his name was:
TitsUp Maloney

(the last two surnames changed as I can't remember what they were)

There is the Private Investigator: Truth Tracer

and many more, love em all :)

I'd take a hundred clever names over one more person registering and adding 1124901xxX to the end of their first name.

Both of these made me laugh, and the second one really got me. I'm starting to hate my name. I like Trout, but I wish I could ditch Recreant. I don't want to make an alt, because my friends all know me as Trout Recreant. Oh well. Like a tattoo. Sometimes we make decisions when we are young that we regret later.

Heck - Rock Ryder is a pretty good name as well.

I'm sure a lot of people don't know what Recreant means, and don't care to look it up. I think you're safe. Trout is awesome tho. I always think of flyfishing.

ahhh. Shit. I just looked it up. I didn't know what it meant either. Is there seriously no way I can change that? That's really upsetting. I'm a dirtbag, a total degenerate and absolutely without shame, but I'm no recreant. I picked it because it remined me of both recreation and re-create. Sort of like I was recreating myself in an alternate reality and SL is a recreational thing for me - not my sole purpose for being.

That pretty much ruined my day right there.

Someone should make you a set of silver tiny binder earings.

Don't. It's my fault. I can't believe they even put that in as a choice for last names. It's like a trap. I should have looked it up, though. If there's no way to change it, I think I have to make an alt, transfer my stuff to it, and call it a loss for the other stuff. I can't let that stand as is.

If I put my no transfer stuff in a box, I can rez the box and use my alt to take a copy of it, right? That's how I can transfer the biplane, so it should work with other no transfer stuff. I need to have two accounts running at the same time and essentially meet myself in-world to do that. Can I do that? My computer would be screaming in agony, but I could probably get it to work.

I don't have much no transfer, no copy stuff that I'm really attached to, so I could just abandon that stuff.

Is getting an alt going to cost me anything? I think I saw where I could have up to five on basic accounts without paying extra. It's worth the payment to get rid of this name if that's what I have to do.

Cool real life name

Oh that reminds me, I once spoke on the telephone in real life to a man named Christian Bravery.

I don't think that works. No transfer is no transfer, and that should include stuff in a box.

No, you can just create an alt, log off, then log back in as TR, then drag your stuff from your inventory to the alt's profile screen.

Yes. Just type -multiple in the properties window of SL's desktop icon. You'll then be able to run it more than once on the puter.

I believe the first alt is free? I know there's another thread right now about this but I'm too lazy to look it up.

Move the name to Dutch and it loses the bad taste. In Dutch it is someone who "recreates" and enjoys his/her surroundings :).

Trout, to transfer stuff from one person to another (or to your alt) just open their profile and drag it onto them. When they log on/you log on as your alt the stuff will be there waiting.

Which was what I was thinking, albeit in English when I chose the name. OK. Now I'm Dutch. It's SL. I can be whatever the hell I want. I'm a flying Dutch cowboy vampire zombie who kidnaps people and ties them to the wings of his biplane while he strafes Gor dressed in an ape suit and singing opera, so back off, M'Fers.

OK. Given the Dutch translation, I'll consider keeping it. Thank you, Morwen. In all seriousness, I was pretty upset and your post made me feel better.
