to be scared of namechanging?

[annec555]

My username is rubbish and I want a better one. I have come up with some better names but every time I decide to change it, I get as far as the "save" button and chicken out.

I haven't been posting very long so it is not as though anyone is going to be wondering if I have suddenly been hit by a bus, but I still find it strangely unnerving. It feels as though I am doing the online equivalent of dying my hair, sticking on a fake beard and running off to the other side of the country and calling myself Dave.

Am I just weird?

Yes Dave you are .... and there's your new name, weirddave.

Just do it.
I've had 3 namechanges this week alone. I just can't find a name that fits.

I namechanged. I was going through some tough times and received lots of help and advice. This went on for a few weeks, and I was starting to feel like I was defined by "the event".
I decided to namechange to give myself a fresh start, and it seems to have worked! I don't feel like I am hiding, just the opposite.

What are the new names? Can you combine the annec bit?

Errrr annecklace, annnecxthingis, annecdotally, annnecdoteisnotthesameasevidence?

(I know those are a bit lame )

I think you should do it. I was totally fed up with my old name and love this new one. It was a thread like this that persuaded me to do it!

[pouts] I don't think I want to be weirddave. Anyway, what would happen if I really wanted to run away and call myself Dave? All anyone would have to do would be to look on MN and track me down.

FiveFiftyFive?

Northernlurker - I think those are too clever for me. I just sat silently mouthing the last one several times before I realised what it said!
I was thinking of kungfupannda but I was worried that people would just think I couldn't spell the panda bit.

Or horsemumoftheappocalypse.

What about FungKuPanda?

Or KungPoPanda?

Or I suppose I could be horsemAnneoftheappocalypse

This?

Or this?

I'm always namechanging. May do it again today. Hmm.

I'm namechanging today. I've been saving my one up for ages as it suits me down to the ground.

I usually name change a LOT. I've stuck on this one for ages though. It's my favourite since BroccoliSpears.

i've been this for a week now. nobody noticed my last persona had vanished. vipers.

i'm considering another change later though - there's not much i can do with this for a festive tint.

I name change all the time, I like to reflect the changing seasons and festivals. I thought this was normal.

Have changed. Ta-da!

(tis Rockbird btw, not the OP)

You'll get confused with the fish with that one.

I've namechanged once. It is a bit weird at first and I felt as if I was changing my identity, but I soon got used to it. Will change again, when I think of something I like.
