Such a minor request, but it would make me inordinately joyful.

Thanks.

Hasta luego !

helibee · 18/04/2011 00:22

I can't change mine, one of my SN children that I used to work for couldn't say my name and he decided on helibee instead and he wrote it like this. I even have my old work T-shirt with helibee on it, all lower case. So please forgive me Grin

However there are many peoples names that I misread due to no capitalization so I'm mainly with you there :)

helibee · 18/04/2011 00:22

Oh and Bellagio yes you always make me think of George Clooney too Grin

MrsRhettButler · 18/04/2011 00:25

Sorry, I do actually agree with you in most cases but I don't think lissie's one of them.
Although if we're being truthful I much prefered her as TheLadyOfTheGreenKirtle and if she's finished with the name can I please have it thankyou. do you know what? We should be allowed to auction off old names no longer needed! Oooh brainwave!

Bellagio · 18/04/2011 00:35

Helibee now you have me pondering what your name is! -don't say it, I like Helibee, sorry I mean helibee Smile
I'm peaseld that my name brings George Clooney to some of you. I am not a fan of his I must admit,
I like a younger man myself
Grin

helibee · 18/04/2011 00:38

Ooh I like the auctioning off of names, that would make trying to find someones posting history hilarious Grin actually I've always admired Chaos's name Wink and Confuddled's name as well :)

helibee · 18/04/2011 00:41

Bellagio, I'll keep you guessing then Grin I do like a younger man too, I think I have some strange celeb crushes but George Clooney for me is just one of those I think who will always be attractive.

thatwouldbeanecumenicalmatter · 18/04/2011 00:45

ooooh I just had to make an appearance rub it in after seeing the thread title! Grin

NoHenIntended · 18/04/2011 00:45

I agree, in the main, though sometimes I enjoy considering the possibilities:

ruby ruby ruby could be

rub yr uby ruby

But generally, I vote yes for Title Case.

helibee · 18/04/2011 01:16

Hee hee thatwouldbe I always read your name as 'that would bean cumen-ical matter' I think that makes me the loopy one but hey Grin

confuddledDOTcom · 18/04/2011 01:42

Thanks helibee! Grin

I was going to post and ask if I can be excused. I think my name doesn't need it and the caps I have serve the purpose.

Not to mention I have no idea what email address I signed up with Blush so am a little stuck with the ID I have Blush

As I already capitalise my nickname, I would like to add capitalising thread titles to the request. It's a title. It should be in title case!!!

dontcallmepeanut · 18/04/2011 07:51

YABU...

Mine's staying lower case, because I'm not using proper nouns... Although it's from a song title, so should it be capitalised?

Oh, now what have you done? Sad

mrsRB, thank you! Lissie looks wrong to me. plus, theres a LizzyLou and I think it would be too simillar. you are more than welcome to TheLadyOfTheGreenKirtle if you want it. I used it when I was re-reading the chronicles and I got a little bored of lissie. but, I'm a lissielou. it suits me better. there was a nickname auction a few years back (I bought lissie but havent used it - too easily recognisable/searchable) for charity. think it'd be a good idea to have another though!

DontCallMePeanut · 18/04/2011 08:09

Just to keep Chaos happy, I chaged it

mrz · 18/04/2011 08:15

If I capitalised mine it would be MRZ not sure it would help really so can I leave it?

TrillianAstra · 18/04/2011 08:19

If you capitalise it ruins the run of reading BlondesHaveMoreFun and thinking BlondeShaveErWhat?

ChaosTrulyReigns · 18/04/2011 10:52

Thank you Peanut.

Jolly civilised of you.

BettySwollocksandaCrustyRack · 18/04/2011 10:58
