If you could do your username over, would you?

You can do it over. Contact the mods and work with them.

As to what I would choose, I really don’t know. I like being a big dog. Woof.

WHAT REALLY

I like my username, but I can see why you might want to change yours. The mods can change it for you once.

@Hawaii_Jake I like your username too.

You can see what I chose, and I am happy with it.
You would do better to request suggestions for what would fit you.
I vote MEGAphone.

@Patty_Melt why

I like mine.
Yes you can change yours and keep your lurve. Once.
Maybe if you changed your avatar to a less generic picture too?

But I like my…thing.

I would change mine but I won’t because it is “me” at this point.

@AnonymousAccount8: Another thing you can do to personalize your profile is to add some details to your profile page.

You are not stricken with shyness or voicelessness so far as I can see.
You express yourself with gusto.
I think it fits.
Don’t you like it?

@Patty_Melt That was much nicer than I expected. I thought you were calling me a loudmouth.

::Ahem:: Well she was, but nicely.

…oh.

This is my “do over” name, I created a new account. My point accumulation felt like a burden so I shed it.

It was an off the cuff choice. I’m not enamored with it. It’s okay.

It’s a good name, Jay.

Thank you.

You can change it once. We have a few jellies who have done it.

I like your name. Although, my favorites are ones that are under 5 letters, because if I’m on the mobile site the names don’t pop up automatically.

Happy with mine – have dropped a B in real life since I joined but janbb still works for me.

You can change it once without justification, contact a mod. They will tell you that in your profile, you should let people know what the old username was so they know who you are, at least for like a week or so. This is what I was told when I got mine changed.

If you want to change it again after that though, you need a good reason. Or so that was back in the Auggie days, must probably still apply. If not, I’m sure a mod will elaborate.

Changed mine from Symbeline to Berserker. Happy with that shit.

Like everyone has said, you can change it if you’d like. The details are all there in @Berserker‘s answer. The specific amount of time we ask you to keep your old username in your profile is two weeks. Exceptions are only made when there are serious privacy concerns.

@janbb I just figured the extra “b” stood for “badass” these days.

jan b b, for jan bitchin’ badass

@SavoirFaire and @AnonymousAccount8 You got that right!

My username describes me perfectly. As far as I know there are no other California Golden Bear fans on this site, so I am a rare bear.

I like my name. I liked my old name too but I felt I wanted a new start. I don’t mind your name Anony.

my name’s just kind of bland. I’ll consider changing it.

My username is a relic from my AiROW days (the site I used before Fluther). I brought it to Fluther because I wanted my AiROW buddies to be able to recognize me. I joined AiROW when I was like 13 and for some reason liked the name Mariah a lot. Not so fond of it anymore, but it’d feel weird to change, and I wouldn’t want people to be confused about who I am.

Yes, I was calling you a loudmouth, nicely. I did not mean it cruelly. I have lots of loudmouth friends.
Some are comfortable expressing themselves loudly, and without backing down. That can be a quality or a drawback, and so can not being heard.
If it is you, own it.

I got tired of calling myself “Yet Another User”, and someone started referring to me as Strauss because of my musical background. So I did my one-time (maybe) do-over.

I came back to Fluther after a bit of a hiatus. I still liked my former username but it no longer seemed quite apt enough a description. I came up with a new username and sat on it for a while, debating whether I would like it long-term.

When I went ahead with the change, I contacted a mod (who was on the site at the same time, it turned out) and they were quite helpful. In a matter of minutes I realized my username was different (all shiny and new)!

I don’t know why but I’m leaning toward “butter” for a new name.

I’ll see how I feel about it tomorrow.

Edit: Ach! it’s taken!

Yeah, I don’t much like mine. Maybe I should contact the Mods…

I changed mine. I was Seek_Kolinahr but no one could spell it and everyone just called me Seek anyway, so I jettisoned the Vulcan word.

what does kolinahr mean?

Kolinahr is the attainment of perfect logic.

Vulcan mental Nirvana.

I’m more of a Romulan, anyway.

The name I use here is my do-over. I’ve been using another name on the internet for about 20 years. I felt like I needed something fresh when I arrived here.

I created mine with no thought at all not expecting to be here for long. I don’t like it and I’ll maybe get around to changing it some day.

^ But what other name would you choose?

I’ve not settled on one yet. Maybe I’ll stick with what I’ve got to avoid confusion.

^^ It is nice when people stick with the same names – life is confusing enough!

I like the sound of saying flutherother.

I like confusing janbb. :P

@raum Oh well – some confusion is good for the soul!

^I thought chicken soup was good for the soul?

@chyna You’re right! You can see how confused I am!

how about “motherfluther?”

Edit: I bet it’s already taken.

Edit #2: It’s already taken.

But is chicken soup ever confusing?

How about Bananarama?
Wait, no, Jack_knife…
Nahhhh, tapioca.
Lilsquirt?
MrMega?

Maybe Cinnamon, but with a K, if I were to change it. I like my name and I think it suits me.

NewbieMcnewbieFace!

@Kardamom Cinnamonk?

Nah, mine was given no thought at all, first random crap that came to mind when I first joined.
I love it & would never consider changing.

I won’t change mine for sure..Faced the same problem on another Q&A site where I had selected default username offered to me which I regretted later. But I like the one I have chosen here.

I am happy with mine.

So @AnonymousAccount8 what would you cahnge? Would you be AnonymousAccount 9 ?

Shorten it to AA?

I kind of like Cinnamonk actually.

Sounds like a reddish brown primate.
Kinda cute.

@cinnamonk. Good name!

<—- Pretty comfortable with it.

sup.

YOU DID IT!!!!
Happy cinnamonk day!

Cinnamonk! Suites you!

Sup, ‘Monk.

O Cinnamonk where you gonna run to?
