discuss What are we called?

[The Durfer]

Ive been thinking, we are a demonym group and should be called something. Are we nameproeans, npers, nameprosers, etc? Please feel free to contribute and maybe we will vote on what we should be called as a people group. whoohoo!

np'er just comes naturally and it's always used around the forum.

"namer" is not distinct to namepros..

Hi

sounds like some kiddie to me

as a group, we are called "members"
within the membership, there are "account levels"
those account status's are defined by the badges below each member.
some members pay for upgrades, others don't
some have vip badge, but you can upgrade and become one.

i, have free np account with vip status
also i am member of other forums/boards

but i am not from namepros,
so no variant of that name will apply, other than member of np
or call me by my name, or address me as "sir" or reference me as another or fellow domainer.
i am not tied to np, i am tenured at np.
and, neither i nor np has a written code of alliance, tied or agreed upon, to each other.

if you want to be serious...
call me by by name, or address me as "sir"

imo...

@Frank.Schilling called us "Namers."

I had not heard this before, and really like it - the generic name for professionals who help people choose names should be namers! Let's take it back from the naming community.

As to the specific members of NamePros, my choice is Name Pros! Exactly! A community of professionals who help people name things.

I'd put my hat in the ring with NPers too

In house it has pretty much been NP'ers or NP'rs as long as I've been here.
Thats what I like to call an outstanding member, someone that has really given a detailed answer, "a :great: NP'r."
There used to be a little emo where when you typed :great: it came up Great NP'r.

Like the sign says....
To the outside world, we are Name Professionals.

Peace,
Kenny

Let's not take ourselves very seriously.

If we don't, who will?

Just check you profile page URL. and defined by how many

The ID is how accounts are stored in the database. It is important for a number of reasons, none of which are what you said, but here are a couple:

1. Your profile can still be found if you change your username: it will not result in a 404 Not Found page.
2. Your profile is composed of data from multiple different locations in the database (i.e., tables), and numerical (as opposed to textual) IDs are the fastest way to find all of the relevant information associated with an account. This is well understood in even the simplest of databases.

We hope that helps.

Internally, we sometimes use "Pros" or "The Pros."

Where has all this insecurity suddenly risen from? Why do we need a label? Can't we recognise ourselves any more?

If we really need one, how about "trainee shelf stackers"?

 

[BradWilson]

TPers

Oh wrong forum sorry about that, but seriously for those who think this a silly topic, I'd recommend rethinking that. Why? because isn't that what we really do?

We are all about coming up with the right name for others so why would anyone question coming up with our own name?

It just makes perfect sense because that's our true primary purpose and to deny that would just be wrong.

So I like NPers, NPs or some version of that even NP'r.

 

[Yawz]

Not to be rude, but I actually agree with biggie and Bob Hawkes

All other demonym names here rather sounds like a joke.
The only one that make sense for me is NPers, since it's the known site acronym.
But it rather is easier to just say NP Members or NamePros Members.

Personally, in my opinion, thought of this even before I saw Bob's post, if there is any really good name that should be called the members is "The Name Pros". The site name literally says it.

Anyways, at the end of the day, we'll just call everyone domainers, or maybe what johnn said.
