More likely, a lot of people will ignore the name and just see the tag, and will approach you assuming you're a vendor. That's what happened in 2009 when we did name tags.

I just found out that the Stanton Auction will be April 30 - May 2, so there should be no conflict.

I didn't know vendors wore name tags, I've never been to Wayne, so you're right that won't work.
It's also more likely that a lot of people would have just avoided me because they saw the name on my name tag and don't want to talk to me.

I'm starting to see a theme here Mr. Grumpy.....I'm a thinking you picked the right name.

How about printing out this picture and printing your Forum Name on it and attach it to your Wayne Show Name Tag. That way everyone can see both.

If you are not going to the Stanton auction, you can attend our annual show in North Carolina, in fact you can probably do both... We moved it to May 1st-3rd to avoid the bad (or at least, unpredictable) weather we had in March...
