I've been thinking about this for quite a while, but it's tricky because I feel like everyone already knows me as this user name. Would it be crazy of me to change my name now?
-
I've been thinking about changing mine too!
-
Go ahead! Cocobee just changed her name and kept her picture the same. There's a thread about it and it turned out that most people just identify you by your picture, not your name anyways.
-
@Boogs: How about having your avatar be some Scrabble pieces that spell the word BOOGS for a while?
-
@mrbee: ohh good idea!
-
I like Mr. Bee's suggestion - people will get used to your new name if you choose to change it.
-
I think it's ok to change it. I changed mine after I had a lot of posts.
-
I have also thought about changing mine from my actual name, I didn't really think on that one. I was planning on keeping my picture the same so people still recognized me, but I haven't made the plunge yet!
-
@mrbee: hehe that's cute!
I say go ahead!! the regulars will get used to your new name soon enough
-
I recognize people by their avatar, so I think you'd be ok if you changed your name. It actually throws me off more when someone has a new picture.
-
I agree with proceeding to change since I also recognize a poster by their avatar!
-
I agree with the others. As long as the picture is the same, I will know who you are.
-
@Boogs: What name would you change it to?
-
@mrbee: Ah that's quite clever.
@bluestriped bee: I'm still not 100% set, but something like Cookie or Mama Cookie as a nod to DH & LO who are cookie monsters. Or Mama Dino as as nod to LO who I sometimes refer to as a baby dino, but I want to say someone may already have a user name similar to that. The name choosing process is so hard!
-
@Boogs: Aww, I like mama cookie!
-
@Boogs: Love your new avatar!!
-
@bluestriped bee: Thanks! I think it's more fitting if I do change my name.
-
I like the new avatar! I need to get around to doing one...
-
Haha well like Grace said I just changed mine and asfar as I know, it hasn't been confusing! I kept my avatar the same. But until recently, you didn't have an avatar, right? I like mr bees idea about scrabble spelling boogs!
-
@Boogs: Super cute! My LO and DH are cookie monsters too!
