    I won't vote. Imagine that one of those nicks is actually your name. Does that name express exactly what you're alike or what you wish to be?
    Choose the nick that describes you more than other ones. Don't take what you get from votes.

    Extremist!
    Even if I don't really know you I'm glad you're back and I hope you're OK.

    Anyway...
    I have already decided (not very sure though) but I want to know the opinions of the others.

    Hey, I told the reasons why I changed my name.

    I voted that you should stick with Alexander the Great, for it is a pretty good name in my opinion. However, you said that you already decided, which implicates that you probably won't stick with your current name (else you wouldn't have made this poll). I think that Volsung sounds pretty cool, but like Ex said, go with what feels good. You have to walk about with your name, and if you don't really like it, changing it might not have been the best choice.

    I say screw it and leave it how it is it's your personality that's more important then your name no one cares if you call yourself **** monkey or something like it (except mods :) )

    Edit: Bjorn sounds familier from somewhere but I can't put my finger on it. Anyone else recognize it?

    Like Extremist, I'll not vote. And I'll also tell you not to get one from vote.

    The people voting aren't you. Ultimately it's your wellbeing in question, isn't it? So take something that makes you the most comfortable and forget the rest.

    Perhaps something of your own, not a name taken after a real person or book/game character would make you feel largely better. Perhaps not. Up to you, I say, but remember how you'll feel with it is the most important thing.

    I voted for alexander the great just because I will be confused if you change your name.

    Go with whatever fits you, and don't be afraid to change it, it is really not that big of a deal. This is probaly the 20th online nickname that I have had. As an off topic list the major ones I have had in the past are fish, matrix, papercut, fade2black, f2b, fade`. I was almost going to change my name to Gambit, because of my nastey card throwing skills, but decided that would be to lame. :D

    Hum, that was kinda rant was it not? To get back on topic I repeat, just go with whatever you feel like.

    You're name should be your identity and what you are known as. When I chose Sniper, It was because I always used to use Sniper rifles in first person Shootem' ups ... I guess its kinda stuck, but everyone that would know of me ... knows me as Sniper if you get my meaning.

    So i'd choose a name that would suit you best.
