If you'd hate to discard either of your names, I think you can still keep things fairly straightforward... Just mix 'n match a, b, and f at will, for newcomers. :-) As you know I too keep two separate names, one for here in the forum, and the shorter user-typing friendly "Wolf" for Chat. I simply tell people who I am whenever the question comes up in Chat.


> Keep it as it is. If you disagree, at least *don't* try to combine the two. Kikipeg? Yikes. I think Kiki is much better suited to chat use, where you can poing and bounce and generally reflect happy distracted Kiki-ness on us all. In the far less kinetic medium of the forum, unipeg will still do nicely.

I agree that 'Kiki' is the more kinematic name of the two. It's cool. But to suggest she must never combine the two? Awww man, that spoils half the fun and creativity! I personally like the combo 'uniKi' because

(1) 'uniKi' has terrific poetic assonance, and
(2) it sounds like "unique key," a wonderful reflection of the unique personage who is the unipeg/Kiki whom we know and love. :-)

Aha B-G, well, I assume you enjoy keeping track; else it's a problem quite easily fixed by declaring yourself officially hermaphrodite, n'est-ce pas? ;-)
