How about O'Pab  ?  Nice & short and unlikely to be ever confused with anyone else.

I voted for other.


Pablo is Hispanic, O'Brien is Irish. They have Roman Catholicism in common, so Paulus O'Brien is more user friendly. Still, if you abreviate to P. O'Brien, my mind will read Patrick.

O'Brien is Irish. They have Roman Catholicism in common,

Um not necessarily, to the extent of wars being fought over that issue... :)

No. Paul in Greek is Paulos (Παύλος) and Poulos (Πούλος) in Morea’s idiom. Poulos means a relatively big and usually male bird, as well as something else that’s always male and of various sizes.

Also please note that name changing is a one time thing, usually accompanied with a legit reason.
Keep it clean, no using words like smurf etc.

No Smurfy McSmurfface, got it.  :cry: ;)
My reason is that I'd like to make it shorter somehow, is that ok?  :think:

And as for the poll... There is an "Edit Poll" button under the poll that I can click on, and it takes me to a page with all that poll settings.
I have no idea if it will allow me to press "save" after changing settings, or if the poll will be reset if it allows me.  :think:

Thank you for your input. :salute:
