I've notice what seems to be an overabundance of people with handles that are some sort of variant of "badger" on eplaya. My playa name is "scout," but there appear to be quite a few other people with that name on-playa.
What playa names have you noticed are somewhat common? Here's my list:
Badger
Scout
Hey, you
Just ____ [insert actual first name here]
Sarge
Spark or Sparky
Medic

When he lights his streetlamp, it is as if he brought one more star to life, or one flower.
When he puts out his lamp, he sends the flower, or the star, to sleep.
That is a beautiful occupation.

Re: Common playa names
Hmm, I don't really encounter many playa names, and only really know one person who has a "playa name" that use to refer to him. I'm not even sure if it's a playa name or just a name he uses. I only get called "BBadger" at M&G, otherwise it's just my real name.

For a long time I knew several Phoenixes.
I'm the only Anti M on the playa I know of, but I have seen a knitter blog by an Anti M in CO, and an Aunty Em who makes marvelous pieced sweater coats in Utah.

Quite a few Magic's out there
The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair.

Re: Common playa names
And I'm one of those that Tamara's talking about. Glorious Eric always feels at home wherever he is. I always feel like I'm alive because I haven't been noticed. Or because I'm too insignificant to kill.Eric wrote:And now you know why I go by "Eric" everywhere.tamarakay wrote:Playa names confuse the hell outa me.
