I haven’t changed my name on Fluther, but when I was on Wis.dm, there was a small percentage of people offended by my name. I was AnalGrammarNazi for a long time and then someone got their knickers in a twist and pestered the crap out of me. “Nazi just has so much negativity associated with it, I’m offended, blah, blah, blah.” So I caved and changed it to AnalGrammarNabu (Nabu was the Assyrian and Babylonian god of writing and scribes and was the keeper of the Tablets of Destiny, in which the fate of humankind was recorded. He was also sometimes worshiped as a fertility god and as a god of water.) I wanted to keep the initials AGN as most people had shortened my name to those three initials anyway (except DUTCHESS. She kept calling me ANG, but she’s a twit).
I wish I would have kept my original name, regardless of how a few select people felt. I was, and still am, rather draconian about proper grammar, sentence structure and spelling. I blame my family. I come from a line of educators and proper grammar was drilled into all of us at an early age.
I know that I make mistakes occasionally, and I admit when I do so, but I can be a GrammarNazi and still be human!
