You know what you have to do, right?
I hereby call upon the members of SCF to come up with a new name for Remus! (Caveat: "Weemus' should be in there, I feel. I just like the Elmer E. Fudd like quality of it.)
-
Better make it a good one, i dont want any joke names...
-
Good luck with that! -
How about "Friend of a Friend of Captain Fantastic Faster Than Superman Spiderman Batman Wolverine Hulk And The Flash Combined"
You certainly will have the edge on length (guys find length important)
-
I forsee lots of problems for the guy, just imagine when he has to sign paperwork or when he'll get marryed, if ever.....
-
A man with the name 'Captain fantastic faster than superman spiderman batman wolverine the hulk and flash combined' laughs in the face if impracticality.
-
If mortgages inn England are anything like the U.S., he will regret that when he buys his first house; I must have signed my name a hundred times.
-
I wonder if he could just get a stamp made up? would speed things up a lot.
-
So what should Remus' new name be? (I can change it any time
)Warn you that long names are not possible because when XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX (40 X's!
) signed up here, we limited the name length to 20 charaters only. -
No worries, i'll keep the username remus, but just change my actual name.

Friends's say Hal

Hey Remus, why not go for the opposite: the shortest.
Using SketchUp's 3s text tool you could generate all the letters of the alphabet as 2d faces. You could then check the relative areas of each to determine which letter actually has the smallest surface area. Whatever it is could then be your name. Let's say it is "i", you could then promote your name as chosen to save ink. If you think about how many times a person's name is printed in a lifetime your new name "i" would be using less ink than anyone elses. You'd be doing your part to save the environment. You'd have a cooler name than the friend-of-a-friend. Unlike him, your fame in these times of environmental awareness would likely continue to grow.
Think about it. The media would eat it up. You'd really be famous.

Throw a bit of eco friendliness in there...i like it.
Or perhaps i could just change my name to a full stop (a period, for all you yank types,) might be susceptible to forgery though.
-
"Full Stop" ( Mister .) is interesting but I doubt it would be accepted as an official name since it isn't really a letter combination. You might also run into forms on the internet etc. that wouldn't accept entry of "." as a valid name. Might be better to stick with a real letter or you'll never be able to buy anything online.
Regards, Ross
PS If "i" was the smallest letter, it would be cool since it also has meaning in English as a word: "i" am the greatest thing since sliced bread.
