Should I change my name?

Yaiba · 10-17-2018, 01:51 PM

Hey all, it's me again. Been checking on the forum as usual, just not posting(that's hopefully about to change) the current name I have is a bit childish to me and I've used it since I was in elementary school. Should I change it?

If you're referred/known by this very username In the cyber world, I'd suggest to leave It be.

Otherwise, changing It will not have any negative Impact.

I'd leave it, despite it being childish it is meaningful and you've had it for quite some time.

Do what you feel brother. However, I would let it how it is because maybe the nostalgia might punch you from time to time.

I'd agree with Mothered. It's very hard to remember the identity or character of someone online when their name and images change. If you were to change it, I would suggest trying something that really links to it. Like keeping Ninja in the name. Or if you do keep it, remember that I'm staff of a site and my name is based on a pokemon Wink

I'd keep it. Stick to what you originally picked because if you change it and it's taken, that's it.

I wouldn’t change your name, you have branded yourself on these forums Smile

Even if you completely changed your profile theme and your name I don’t think of mistake you for someone else Smile

. But yeah since I’ve started on the site with this name and continue to meet other members it’ll be important in the future.

I mean I don’t use this name in other forums, just this one. I’m named Ninjaibis on all other forums.

Yeah that’s true, people look for opportunities like this sometimes to snipe a name
