Before I joined OWF, in fact before I got the internet, I created a character who now stars in his own story in Fancorner!
While I originally decided all mudokons have human names (a rule I usually stick to) when I first heard about Munch's Oddysee I thought Munch would be a mudokon and thought if that guy could have a strange name so could my character, hence Splat. By the time i discovered Munch wasn't a mudokon the name had stuck ,and when I joined OWF it seemed a reasonable choice to make.
Shortly afterwards I realised I'd been extraordinarily lucky in getting that particular name and when someone called me Talps here I thought it sounded much better and more unusual and I've adopted it basically everywhere I can. I thought about requesting to get my name here changed to Talps, but decided it would make it too confusing for anyone looking back. So Splat I am, and frankly I'm happy with it. I seem to be the only one!
T-nex, your name's cool! personally I'm happy with all the names here cus it's how we know each other: change em and we'll all end up wandering around the streets with vacant looks trying to remember the names of our parents, siblings, children, friends, pets and mortal nemesises (gah, what a word!).
