    Dad Trying to Join the Creek

    My father just wrote a note indicating he tried to join the Creek but someone (me) already has the name. How can this be resolved? Thanks.

    I have nothing to do with running this place, but I'd suggest one of you go by "Richard Riddle", or "Dick Riddle", or "Richard R Riddle", or some other variation - perhaps the easiest being including a middle initial.

    Or just add something on the end, a state abbreviation, a nickname in the middle of his name, etc.

    Real name Steve but that name was taken on the forum. Used Middle name. Call me Steve or Scott, doesn't matter.

    Unlike Facebook, where there can be many, many folks with exactly the same name, but separate accounts, here, it's necessary to differentiate apparently. Have him use a middle initial or a nickname in the middle or something like that to make his name unique. Nature of the beast...

    I'd suggest "Rich Riddle Sr.", or more cutesy with "Rich Riddle's Dad"...
