Should Fredwina change her name?

**Fredwina** · 11-13-2008, 12:47 PM

Been thinking about this (see what not riding your bike does to you

)
My "real -life" club tagged me with the nickname "the Shark". While I don't really like that one, I was thinking more along the lines of "la Tiburon", This is Spanish for "the Shark", although i've been informed that Sharks have male genders (i.e. it should "el Tiburon", but that doesn't exactly fit in with Team E

)
So, what do you have to say?

Fredwina needs to heal and be able to get back on her bike and post more pics! I like your name as it is

**SadieKate** · 11-13-2008, 12:59 PM

I like Fredwina, both the name and the person.

So there.

JUST KIDDING!!!!!!!

I like the name Fredwina.

Both Bleeker and I changed our name. If you think you need the mojo of a new stronger (sexier, more exotic, however you see it) name, I think you ought to change it.
People recognize you from your posts and your avatar. Don't change both at the same time!!

I think it's okay to be "La Tiburona," I don't actually speak Spanish but I've seen that kind of construction before.

But I like Fredwina...

I did, too. And my avatar changes with the season, so do try to keep up!

I like Fredwina, too. It's got that certain jazz....

I changed mine, too. You can always revert to Fredwina if you decide you don't like the new one.

It wouldn't let me do a multiple choice pick

What you call yourself is entirely up to you! But if you go with la Tiburon, you'd better sign "Fredwina" so we know who you are!

I want to change my vote too.

It's your handle, Fredwina (or La Tiburona). Self-deprecating is fun for a while but I can see how it would get old. Do what you like. But +1 on keeping a sig line that lets us know who you are until we get used to the new handle!

Yes...but if you go with "Tiburon" I will forever think of you as an old Hyundai!

And that just won't work.

I just changed my name from something as basic as my name to a nick name I was given by another rider who I did a couple of events with this year. He started calling me Short Cut Sally instead of my name, shelly, so I opted to change..I wanted something different...I like Fredwina, but you do what ever you have to. Sometimes change is good.

**Smilie** · 11-14-2008, 07:36 AM

Do what you want to do. Either way is good, it is up to you!

"la Tiburon", This is Spanish for "the Shark"

FYI - It's 'El Tiburon' not 'la'
