I use camel casing for my usernames.

I think you are supposed to capitalize proper names, and really there is very little proper about me.

By the way, e.e. cummings hates this thread.

Sometimes it bugs me, but then I forget about it. The ones that sometimes bug me is when Someone has a letter in the middle capitalized like SomeOne. Just seems uneven.

I don't get not really thinking about it. It's a username. It needs thinking.

I often wish I had made mine all lower case. It seems a bit rude to have a capital letter in there.

"keira" is not my name so it's not that important if it's capitalized or not. Tbh, I didn't put too much thought into it. The only thing I cared about was for me to be able to remember it easily.

I didn't put much thought at all into my SN when I created it. I'm uncreative

I only realised the first time someone refered to me by my username, and now it's bugging me! But I can't change it now. :roll:

HOW?! How can you stand having a username with a lower case first letter?! That would drive me crazy. I always wonder...

i am not partial to capital letters very much i think because of my experiences in primary school (elementary school) where teachers told me i must use capital letters where they are needed (they knew i understood grammar). i could not see much need for capital letters so therefore i almost never used them. i got into more and more trouble as time went by because i refused to use capital letters where i did not think they were needed.

people may decide not to read what i have written based solely on the fact that i do not use capital letters where they expect them, and they may prejudge that i am uneducated due to "form" rather than "substance" (which they fail to perceive), but i am completely sure that what i have written is not rendered less comprehensible in any way by the lack of capital letters.

does "B9" mean anything different than "b9"?

it may to emotive people. but i am just "b9". what i say is more important than my name. what i say is more important than the grammatical protocol it lacks.

You know what bugs me? Random number in a name. And 'x's.

xXx someone5476 xXx, that name would kill me.

i think the random numbers sometimes come up when a person is trying to get a hotmail account or something late in the game, after all available names were taken. so instead of "john", it's "john526482947645950". and then they just use the same username for everything.

but that's just my theory.

no, whats more annoying is when you already have that username in 10 forums and many subscriptions and you want it as a hotmail. then it turns out to be taken.

I very much wish I were an Upper Case. lower cases are just no fun and seem very depressed and sad...

there are also "mental cases" and "special cases"... and all sorts of cases ("basket cases" even).
"cases" simply carry things. they are of no value otherwise.

So, would my username bug you? It dosen't have an x, but it does have three numbers in it.

To me, a username would need the first letter to be captilized.
