Then change my name to this δαιδάλλω. Please.
it means to work artfully...in case you are wondering.
Barry Allen > δαιδάλλω
You won't like that very much if you get logged out. hit me up if you want it changed back.
thank you.
I plan on merging with the melthing pot to become one superior being...lol
I'm never logging off again!
Thank you!
If you inherit super powers, please share. :lolQuote:

Misha, are you aware the string Barry just got his name changed to also means Daedalus, and is still very likely a passive aggressive attack against Icky?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daedalus
(And unfortunately it's doubtful he'll have any problems logging in, copy/paste from wikipedia is pretty easy.)
I'd also point out my opinion that allowing such usernames (this case, apparently ancient greek) makes it somewhat difficult to work within the paradigm of an english message board - but that's just my opinion. If everyone had a username that was so unrecognizable, it would be an unusable system. (See: kant.)
When I google δαιδάλλω I get "to work artfully" but nothing about Daedalus, so it's very unlikely anyone would relate it to Icarus. When you google "δαιδάλλω wiki" however, you do get the entry on Daedalus, which I wasn't aware of until you just pointed it out on the wiki. Thanks. (and sorry, Icky.)
I'd like to veto this name based on my annoyance alone of having to copy and paste it to have to look up a user in my system. Sorry, Barry. pick another.
δαιδάλλω > Barry-Allen
well i'd like to complain then. if another user according to you has that very name, then why would I be asked not to use it? And why am I being accused of being passive aggressive towards icarus, when according to you someone has that very name.
Is It only offensive if i use it?
and for the record it has nothing to do with icarus.
if you administrators don't like me then ban me or delete my account. or treat me like everyone else.
with logic like that, one could argue that a series of 1's and 0's or binary code could produce the same results.Quote:

That might actually be more in tune with what you're looking for, isn't taken, and isn't subtly tying your name to mine (no matter what your intentions might be by that).
It's ironic at best.
Daedalus was a wise Labyrinth builder, who was locked up so he wouldn't reveal the way out of the labyrinth. I feel that glass has sort of a secret society to it, like the free masons. I think it is a cool name.
Why is it ok for another member to have this name? Are they being judged?
Barry, when I commented on the name change being a possible passive aggressive attack on Icky, you said:
You didn't deny it. Why deny it now? Also like I said, I checked and the name is taken or I would have changed it to that name for you. I did however entertain the greek until it was clear it would be a pita for me to deal with admin wise. So sure, I'll change your name for you, but pick something that isn't taken and is is english, or in the very least, is on my keyboard.Quote:
