Nicks past & present

On an Ephemera thread, jal recently suggested that we should keep a record of board members' previous nicknames (here). That sounds to me like a useful thread to have, so can people please list their past and present nicknames below? And whilst we're about it, what names do you use in other conlang communities?

I joined the ZBB in 2003 and went by the name of Sonib for 3 or 4 years, then changed to Ketumak. I'm not active on other conlang boards or mailing lists, though I've posted a couple of times at Conlang Mailing List under my real name, I mostly just lurk there. I keep meaning to show up elsewhere once I've written more conlang material, but never quite get round to it.

EDIT: I also use my real name at CALS.
EDIT: prior to joining the ZBB I joined the short-lived Conlangia Bulletin Board, set up by early Zeeber Jaaaaaa. I went by the name of Sonib there as well.

JUN 2015 EDIT: Am now also Ketumak at CBB, too.

My nick history is in my signature, but in case I change it:

I was originally vegfarandi when I joined in 2003. I changed it to vecfaranti when I had my stalker 4-5 years back. Recently I changed it to vec.

I used to be Curlyjimsam on here, and still am on most of the Internet. I have been calling myself Seven Fifty or a variant on here and one or two other places for just over a year or so, I think.

I went by Tieđđá for a little while, but otherwise I've always been Theta (on here at least).

I have been WeepingElf ever since I joined the ZBB, and never was fond of people changing nicknames over and over again because I find that confusing and hard to track.

I was originally Goza Lesha, then Ebba Leaci, then Lyhoko Leaci. I'm Lyhoko Leaci most everywhere else, other than DA where I'm just Lyhoko, some collab conworld wikis where I'm just Leaci, and Minecraft, where I'm Leech10 (Which I was originally in some other sites, as well)

I've always been ObsequiousNewt, except for a brief stint as UbiquitousNewt because it confused someone (I don't remember who.) On IRC I'll sometimes change the adjective to something reflecting my current mood, and during Diplomacy I was often TsarNjut.

That one isn't really complete. Morrígan, who has left ZBB a while ago, also went by GoatFace and TheGoatMan, if I'm not mistaken, but they're not on that list.

Ye: TheGoatMan > Goatface > Morrígan. Also, bricka went on to Nancy Blackett and further to Laura in Space, and Eddy was Eddy the Great before changing to simply Eddy, and was Aurora Rossa when he was banned. There are certainly more that are missing.

Somewhat, to write in my conlang, I used arabic letters from all sorts of languages, including Persian, Arabic, Pashto, Urdu, and two other languages.
But at the end of the day, they all use the Arabic script, just like how Ukraine, Russian, Kazakh, etc. all use Cyrillic script.
