The long waited Nickname has been given (The Sceptical Chymist)

[Ultegra134]

As much as I liked and were used to seeing the previous username "The Pharmacist" in posts, after such a long time period you finally manage to change your username to the one you requested. Thus, congratulations on your achievement, I don't think many users have managed to switch their username. Personally, I like the twist in your name "Sceptical" instead of Skeptical and "Chymist" instead of Chemist.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

Personally, I like the twist in your name "Sceptical" instead of Skeptical and "Chymist" instead of Chemist.

It's not a twist I came up with, but some very old spelling from a very old book by Robert Boyle. 

The name change request stems from very personal reasons which I won't get into here (or elsewhere).  And I've gotten quite a few PMs saying the new moniker looks strange after all this time.  I have to tell you all, I'm still getting used to it--but every time I see it these little bubbles of glee start being emitted from somewhere within me.   

It's called appreciation and respect.
Loling for calling theymos our boss in OP.🤣

Man, I haven't seen you around these parts in a long time--or am I just imagining things?  Anyway, I don't know about the appreciation and respect stuff on Theymos's end, but I am getting a sense of that from the comments here, and it blows my atrophied mind.  Again I thank you all for the love fest.

No this is real, I'm like the world cup, every 4 years.🤣

Congratulations on your name change, Sceptical Chymist. The patient dog eats the fattest meat, but in your case, it should be the patient Chymist gets a new name change! One less ish to worry about and now on to more productive things.  Good thing you was persistent tho.💪💪💪💪

RIP The Pharmacist, welcome The Sceptical Chymist. Congratulations that you finally got what you wanted. I think that you already lost hope that theymos will do it, but well, better later than never. Now if we talk about things which we are waiting for long time, maybe oone day theymos will answer 30 Pmalek's questions lol ?
But damn, that username is really long and more difficult than previous one. I'm glad that I picked short username for my account .

[KingsDen]

Congratulations The Pharmacist the former and welcome The Sceptical Chemist. I would have to type the name for sometimes before my keyboard memory will have to save it. For getting your name changed after so many years of request shows that everything is possible in this forum, just at the appointed time.
Or when the right process is taken. Can you tell us if you used another strategy to convince theymos and other admins apart from opening thread and sending pms?

[Pmalek]

Holy crap, now I have to get used to calling the lad The Sceptical Chymist, that's going to take some time.
Joking aside, congratulations! I know you wanted it for a long time and it's finally done. It's like a premature Christmas miracle.

I am afraid to ask at this point. I think I have PMed theymos twice about it and called him out in public a few times to answer the questions. But I have something else in the works right now that should be interesting to read. I am hoping to wrap it up soon, and when theymos sees it, he might rethink my request on his own. Stay tuned...

I guess I won't run into any problem if I refer to the user as Nee The Pharmacist 🧐. This name change thing makes it look like what happens in my country when ladies get married, their surnames get changed too.

Well, I think Xmas came too early for TSC. Felicitations! While I obliterate The Pharmacist from my mind, I will try to replace it with the short tag of TSC instead of frequently crosschecking my spelling of the new name.

[Mate2237]

I will try to replace it with the short tag of TSC instead of frequently crosschecking my spelling of the new name.

I was even thinking of shortening the new name to The Chymist instead of twisting my tongue to pronounce The Sceptical Chymist as a full phrase. The Pharmacist name was simple to pronounce, but we will adapt to the new name soon. Congratulations The Sceptical Chymist.

I think a great number of users are going to alternate between TSC and The Chymist than going all full. Perhaps, a few of those who like being formalistic will type out The Sceptical Chymist. I know, expectedly, they're going to be more name change requests from other users in the future. If I may even ask, and this is directing it to the entire community; may be specifically to theymos, is there any standard rule for name change? I ask this because the two cases we've experienced here so far didn't have the same reason demanding name change.

Another one of the bitcointalk record books, Congratulations to "The Sceptical Chymist" name does suit him and don't know why this username rings a bell of the television series "Breaking Bad" any connection

Btw does this mean his/her old user name will be retired or anybody interested in it can actually claim it

This has been already answered in the previous posts of the thread.
No nobody can register with the username "The Pharmacist". Theymos has only changed the display name. The username hasn't been changed at all and it's still owned by "The Sceptical Chymist".

[Aanuoluwatofunmi]

The Pharmacist has been asking our boss (theymos) to change his name to The Sceptical Chymist and today I discovered that the username has finally been changed. My brother from another country The Sceptical Chymist congratulations. I believed the additional merit allocation request also also granted. theymos thank you very much for granting him the request.

Congratulations to The Sceptical Chemist on the change of his username, I've also come across this recently with the thread from Coolcryptovator when he also requested for a change of name even though his own was changed base on the request that his username was abused by many and thereby change the alphabets from capital letters to small letters, as for me I'd liked both the former (The Pharmacist) and the new one (The Sceptical Chymist) because they both have a unique blend of beauty in pronunciation and meaning.

Nigerian Board is also on the request Queue...we also appeal to him for the creation of the board

I think it's all about time and chance with patience, i want to believe that Theymos has plans regarding this since he has approved some local threads to be pinned, I think its the first step to granting the local board requested and i believe that not only Nigeria is involved in this.

[Franctoshi]

Congratulations to you The Sceptical Chemist, For finally having your request granted. When I first saw the name in a post that I was reading, it took me like some minutes to actually figure out that it was him, I guess you have some joy now having this name changed for you.
Though Could take us some time to actually master the new name.
Continue your good job Boss.

Who was he? And who is he?  For those who didn't know. I was scanning and skimming old threads and see this. And  I dropped some merits to interesting comments and bump  it for those who missed it. It was a nice period in reflection on pass memories in the forum. The Sceptical Chemist, memories are good to keep and pass to new generation. Memories are for future use and this is one. The Pharmacist and the Chemist are almost the same except the Sceptical aspect of the medical term but they are Pari-passu in nature.

You don't need to bump this thread and when a user changed username, it's personal deal with forum admin. If you respect their privacy, you don't need to create this thread and if you already created it but recognize that it is not good for their privacy, you can lock it and never bump it again.

Is it good time to lock the thread?

All that you need to know is that he was absolutely deserving of his name change, for whatever the reason he wanted it changed SC has put in a lot of work on this forum spreading the merit to deserving contributors for quite some time & we applaud him for that! He is always open to helping people out & definitely a straight shooter. But yes, I think it may be time to lock this thread.

A good time to lock the thread. If you keep reminding everyone, even the newcomers that The Sceptical Chemist is The Pharmacist, it inveriably means that the essence of the name change is defeated. If he loves to be continuously reminded of his former alias, he wouldn't apply for a change at first.

I don’t think the OP will want to lock the thread unless the one he celebrates so much tells him to. The Sceptical Chymist was a big part of OP’s success (ranking up) in the forum. I feel this is OP’s own way of showing his appreciation to his hero.
