As seen HERE, pings aren't registered when they use less than 3 characters.
His name "C X" is 3 characters, but because of the space and the way spaces are removed for pings it doesn't seem possible to ping him unless it's a direct reply.

1Why can't he just change his user name? I'm assuming he can't be notified in comments, either. (Hmmm, that gives me an idea...)– Cody Gray - on strikeAug 4, 2013 at 17:15

7He already knows. But why have him change his name? It's a bug in the way the system is setup and it should be fixed by either changing the way pings work, or changing the requirements for usernames.– DJSpudAug 4, 2013 at 17:24

From experience... He could go with "C.X.". :)– A.M.Aug 4, 2013 at 22:16

2@A.M. I hope you're just joking because of your own name :P. This needs fixed though. We can't just treat the symptoms, it needs to be fixed from the core.– DJSpudAug 4, 2013 at 23:53

@Jhawinsss I agree that seems like a hole that needs to be patched. I just thought I would point out a solution that would work for "C X" now (message notifications work for me) and be barely a change of identity at all. Yes, though...kind of funny that we both have two-letter user names.– A.M.Aug 5, 2013 at 0:20

2Whoever downvoted needs to explain why.– DJSpudAug 6, 2013 at 19:42
