Not so much a phobia...
... but I reckon there's something a bit sinister about people who keep changing their b3ta identity. Not in a Dave the Hat way, or a Bert's Evil Twin way - I mean in a "complete change of name" way.

I'm looking at one person in particular. You know who you are, even if you think noone else does...

Of course not
I didn't know what a ceilidh was until you told me, but I always see your name as crack house ceilid hband anyway, it's a easy to spell.

When I first signed up
I alternated between this and DodgyBobMcMayday, but then got bored, and just used DodgyBob for various other sites instead.

Ceilidh
Indeed I do like the ceilidhs. I even know how to pronounce it.

But as a Scot, I was born with that knowledge. It's in ROM.

Enzyme
I'm inclined to agree with you...I know who it is you're pointing the accusing finger at....it took me a couple of weeks to notice...it's slightly irritating because we only know each other through our names...a bit like someone constantly changing their face in the real world. Rather like Joan Rivers I suppose. Or Michael Jackson.

We have vacancies for web usability peeps (x2), but only in our London office :-\ No idea where you're based, but gaz if interested and I'll send ya the JD url.

Alternative, I think you'd make more money going solo as self employed (guess you've though about all this anyway). However, driving cars long distances does sound more fun :)

Fair play for teaching it; something I could never see myself doing. Much happier squirrelled away behind a desk somewhere.

ID swapping...

I thought everybody did it?

I did change my hastily-thought-of name once but got told off by BGB and changed it back.

curses!
