Preamble: Recently I have been thinking that the bright green of my avatar pic might stand out too much in forum threads, and now I have learned that my username could have unfortunate connotations on the other side of the planet.
The thing in the back of my head has suggested "Arkturos" for the next username.
Edit: I think I'll just go with it: Kevin Eleven --> Arkturos (you can still call me Kevin if you like).
I'll update my avatar pic sometime soon, but now I'm thinking I might have a capital A with a little k to the left and a little 11 to the right for the short term. 😉

@Arkturos saidNot at all - more or less anything goes providing it is not rude, vulgar or sexual.
I have a bad feeling "Arkturos" might look much haughtier than I intended.
It is / are the posts one makes that make the difference.
I joined 24 years ago and used my name (in ignorance) but it does not matter.
RHP is a fantastic chess site
Enjoy your games here and have fun.

@Arkturos saidSo you are a big bear?

@Ponderable saidOh! I hadn't checked the etymology, but isn't the cognate Arcturus just the guardian of the Bear? The thing in the back of my head did not supply footnotes with the suggestion.

@Ponderable saidIt's okay, and I'll admit I had to do a web search before my reply -- sorry for resorting to that kind of augmentation instead of being completely self-sufficient.
You are right, and I posted without pondering enough....
P.S. -- I'd rather not say whether I'm a "bear" because I just never considered RHP to be a dating site.
@Arkturos saidIs your real name Kevin? 😉

@Ghost-of-a-Duke saidPay Attention Ghost,
How are you outing him when the OP says he is Kevin?
He Said: No, my real name is 11.237. Kevin is just a nickname.
The aforementioned not true as I pointed out when outing him.
Maybe re-read a few posts up? 😛
