TheDayman Posted March 15, 2022 Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 Is there a way to change my display name? (meant to do this sooner but a recent thread has reminded me) Coincidentally I have that same display name as one of the sites at the festival. I've used Lost Horizon as a user name for plenty of things since I was a teenager (named after a favourite album of mine by Lemon Jelly - Lost Horizons) but have zip to do with the site at the festival... Conscious that might cause confusion or may even be taking up a name for the guys if they ever wanted to join here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quark Posted March 15, 2022 Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 I don't think there is. It might be something that admin can do, but I think it's one of those things that's locked down to limit people buggering about. Nice sentiment, but I wouldn't worry about it too much. There's always going to be some crossover in places like this. Nice profile pic as well - I remember having that graphic of the band as a sticker on the side of my speakers in my room. Think it was from Kerrang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The actual backstory to the name is about 7 years ago, I was on a night out in London and we were in this club that looked like an igloo and had a topless man on stage with a santa hat, angle grinding a plate on his crotch, sending sparks in to the confused crowd. I was literally speechless and tried to explain it to my friends later as some sort of "Kinky inuit" and the name stuck in my mind. 6 minutes ago, Neil said: i can change it for you if you tell me what you'd like it changed to?

Padjeq Posted March 15, 2022 Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 Neil, sorry to be a pest but could you change my name to simply 'padje'? It's my first name and I mis-spelt it when I signed up somehow. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember seeing lemonjelly in a tent at Glastonbury, which according to searches was 19 years ago.

Ayrshire Chris Posted March 15, 2022 Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 I always wanted to change mine to something more trendy and groovy that epitomised my individuality and originality but now I don’t want to. Somethings are just meant to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazyfool01 Posted March 15, 2022 Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 I thought it crazy and foolish to change mine … it’s part of my identity now … although it’s quite weird when I hear someone using it to call me either in my workplace or randomly around the festival . I have in the past wondered who took up the name crazyfool though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tartan_Glasto Posted March 15, 2022 Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 I hate my username (came about cause I needed to pick one and looking about my room there was a tartan blanket) but alas, it is who I am now on here...it is my cross to bear.
