I'm trying to think of a name for an alternate account...

I'm thinking of making an account where I can put test projects and projects to help other users, but I can't think of a good name. scmb1_test would be okay, I guess, but I won't just be using it for tests. I thought of scmb2, but I'm worried people will get it confused it with my regular account. I also want to be sure that people know it's me, so I  want at least most scmb1 in it.

What do you think? Any ideas? Should I make an alternate account in the first place?

My current favorites are: (sorry if  yours isn't one of them- all of the suggestions are good)
scmb1_extra
scmbackup
scmb_sqrt2
scmb1_prime

(That was in no particular order)
Which do you like best? Any other ideas?

Thanks for all the suggestions. I chose scmb1_prime.

I named my test account, "illusionist_extra" because I didn't just use it for tests at first.

"scmb1_extras" would work!  big_smile

scmb7357?

It goes with numbers at the end of it, and it's 1337 for test.

Totally. You're all clever...

There you go. That was your ego booster for the day.  smile

But really, 1bmcs is a good idea. I'll have a hard time choosing.

Re: I'm trying to think of a name for an alternate account...

How about some math-related name?

Make the account name Infinite, Quadratic, Tangent, Cosine, Tron, Parallel, or Xenon.

Interesting idea... I could make it a mathy way to say scmb1_2.

scmb1_sqrt4 
scmb1_log100
scmb1_2cos360

The possibilities are endless...

I think your name is good. I don't want to change my name, I just want to make another account to use for tests and helping other users.

Oh, and to Greenboi: Scmberman is not a bad idea, except I'm a girl. I'm pretty sure most of the Scratch population thinks I'm a guy and although your suggestion sounds pretty cool, a name with "man" in it will just reinforce it, I'm afraid...

Actually, scmb does stand for something...

swimming (my favorite sport)
cows (my favorite animal- long story)
math (my favorite subject in school, but I bet you could have guessed that...  big_smile  )
band (my favorite extracurricular activity. I play trombone)

And I would make up a story about the 1... but I actually just put it there to make it a little longer.  tongue

You could pick the *second* character of each word to come up with

woan2

but I'm afraid not many people would associate it with scmb1.  Maybe

scmb1_prime

When you need another variable in math, but you want to relate it to a previous variable, sometimes you just prime the original variable (for example X and X' )
