I'm not serious, I'm Marco.
Well, you can't be really sure if I am really Marco, since my account is not verified. Just call me Marco.

How about I call out Polo, will that get you to say your own name?

Call out Paolo, Carlo, Pino, whoever you want.

Chris, clearly you don't understand what gray is associated with on CP. May be a nother color but not gray.
Thanks.

I think I have a fairly solid understanding of what gray is, and how it may, for instance, motivate someone to pick an actual unique name instead of sticking with a used name.
However, there are those that really wouldn't care. And that's fine.

Sure. I bet there are thousands of people that have the same name as me and are frustrated that can't get a CP account

IMHO: The current system is just fine. Why introduce unwanted issues? (If someone is born late - their fault, because I have the list of 200 Domain names I would like to register.  )
The light-dark coloring thing is a nice add-on.

As to the proposal, will seniority be a factor? 
Actually, I think that Dr. Wilbur Daffodil-11 Swain[^] proposed a valid solution in the referenced story. Not only would randomly assigning new members to artificial families eliminate the screen name problem, it would help to reduce world loneliness.

I don't think anyone will be too happy if someone else is using their screen name, especially where it is their real name in case of abuse or impersonation.
Not really sure what is wrong with the current system and if this is the biggest issue you have...

AFAIK, I'm the only person pretending to be called Nagy Vilmos who isn't called Nagy Vilmos that everyone calls Nagy Vilmos. Hope this helps.
