Anybody else wish they could change their username?
I'd like to ditch eeyore someday. I'm thinking MiracleMan would be pretty cool.

Will there ever be another username amnesty day?

1. I was thinking the same thing, My name is kind of dated.
I still like Kerry, so it's not a thing against him.

11. It may come back to you in due time...
You may get your chance to be current again in '08.

But I can see the dillema if you want to back someone else.

2. My dear eeyore.....
Actually, I like my username, and plan to keep it always......

But if you really want to know about another username amnesty day, you should ask the Admins!

I like your old as well as your new username!



:hi:

6. CalPeggy you are never allowed to change your name!
It suits you perfectly, and I can't imagine you any other way.

I do like eeyore in concept, but I'm actually a quite positive person in real life, so I'm not always happy about being eeyore.

I think MiracleMan may suit my day to day personality a bit better.

:hi:

3. I'd like to change mine...
some days it seems kind of limiting--there are things I want to say, or word a certain way, that I wouldn't really want to show up on a Google of my name, lol.

8. I dig your name...
And I even grew up in Colorado where many a bathroom stall is inscribed:

Here I sit, my buns a-flexin'
Givin' birth to another Texan

Also....If God wanted Texans to ski he would've made bullshit white!



I think you should keep Texasgal, but I do see how it might cause you some trouble here and there. :)

21. HA!
Yep... I will say that Colorado-ians are not to fond of us Texans, although I do enjoy a nice BLUE in Breckenridge! :)

7. Howzabout MonaLisa?
Or MonaLisaSmile?

Or just plain old GLORIA - makes me think of the song, which I'm sure you are entirely sick of. :)

15. dang, I was hoping to have
eeyore. Of course somebody already had it. I coulda gone with anemicEOR or something. I joined right before user amnesty day, and immediately wanted to change, but I was afraid that the little "this user used to be ..." would follow me around forever.
