FabSwingers.com forum: Name Change

Should I change my username? I intended it to be Funtime5 like fun times (but that was taken). It was meant in the slightly ironic way my friends used to use the expression after a night out losing your phone, keys… but apparently some people on here have a specific aversion to the word fun when used with sex.

Also someone told my name conjured up the image of the Jackson 5. Not something I was really going for

Serious alternative suggestions would be welcome (and happy to lol at the others)

Do you like your name?

Do you think it harms your chances of connecting to people?

If people don’t like the word fun instead of sex then replace fun with sex?

It seems to work for me - but I never hear from the people it puts off I guess.

Potentially

I’m pretty sure Sextime5 would get me less replies

I am one of the people who "have a specific aversion to the word fun when used with sex". And the specifics are: substituting sex for fun, eg. did you have fun, do you want to meet for some fun, OR (the worst) adding it to any word to indicate sexual activity involving the thing or sexual interest in the thing, eg. food fun, breast fun, forrest fun, car fun. In this respect "fun times" is pretty innocuous because it is not as a euphemism. Though I wouldn't have got it was being used sarcastically - the bit that makes it clever - because so many here use it in earnest.

However...true story! I was perusing your green arrow, and in a particularly long thread I couldn't locate your post. I went to search for your username and realised I'd not noted it (poor stalking form) and was rather picking you out by avatar. So I went back to the list and picked the shortest thread to check out your username and ... the thread was this one

Moral of the story being that it's not a username that pops. Then again not everything needs to pop

...And now wondering what the character limit is for usernames here

Something simple.

Think of a name you would like to be called when you're in clubs. A gentleman name or a unusual name. Look in baby books! Haha

Ha, now I’m intrigued as to which one it was. I’m sure I post some nonsense at times.

In clubs I’m quite happy to introduce myself as my real name. Not Nick obviously, that’s just my nickname
