First Impressions: People who use cars as part or in whole as their username
In light of a funny @ss comment I saw that all users with names containing "WRX" should be removed from NASIOC....
Do you guys have a negative impression of people who have a car manufacturer, model, or trimline as their name? Personally my first impression is LAME (i.e. = my sense of self worth is tied into what I drive), but I've met quite a few people (perhaps they're just uncreative? at account sign-up time) who are actually pretty decent despite their tool-sounding car-based usernames.

I like mine because it's a blend of creativity and appreciation for something great. People need to learn how to be more original though.

i like mine. grrr....
at first glance, PhlypSide conjures up images of someone posting altezzas, plug wires, and window tint percentage as their mods in their sig (if we had them)... but yeah, there's a point where it's just silly...how many 'WRXtreme' or 'WRXtacy' names are there on this board? |

How about
"I don;t have a problem with it. People have the right to choose which name they whant" "I like cars in usernames" EDIT: how come you removed your post asking me to give examples of some other poll choices that would be positive? |

?QUE?
Eric???
Did the choice below not fit your opinion on the topic? "They are okay, some people are uncreative." If not, what do you think would have been other "positive" options. lateRZ [EDIT: I was re-editing that post as I think what I have just said here is more to the point] |

I think it's short-sighted. You look like a n00b when you buy a new car and it no-longer matches your name.

Uh, I don't like mine anymore. I think it's lame, but I don't see it as a disadvantage to someone's personality.

Not everyone can be creative, so it is neither a diss nor props. Aesthetic creativity can be seen as a neutral aspect in many situations. Like I said in my original post, I've met people who have moved beyond the initial negative impression caused by their lame car-name. lateRZ |

I'm teh most uncreative person ever, in tha my username is the same one that I was assigned as an undergrad at Alabama. Never have bothered to change it, cause I'd probably forget the new one.

I have a car-based username, but very few people make the connection since I'd estimate (unscientifically) that > 95% of the people here have never seen the car. If that makes me lame, so be it.

I will not define uncreative for you. But if you wish, you can try to use the word uncreative in a positive context in a sentence. |
