Anyone Else considering changing their User Name?

Truckfump was OK prior to Prez 46 and the breath of fresh air that sweep in and cleared the air.

I need a new nick and I'm not sure which way to go ... maybe Scottie Mom?

Its my real first and middle name, when I mentioned this before a few said I shouldn't because it was close to malarkey. I like Joe but wasn't how I picked the name in 2004 when the internet wasn't as much a security hazard.

BlueStater (7,596 posts)

27. I'm considering it.

I’m thinking of changing it to something more meaningful and personal to me. As a resident of Florida, it’s a name that’s never made much sense anyway, even back when I became a member nearly 16 years ago. At the time I joined, I didn’t really care about my name so I just came up with something easy and generic. Now I’ve kind of soured on the name so it may be finally time for a change.

I chose "AnotherMother4Peace" in honor of my mother who was not an activist, but joined "AnotherMother4Peace" during the Vietnam war when my brother was there. She even went to meetings, when someone would drive her. She rocked.

44. No I think I will keep mine

For one I’m to tired to think Of another one.

For me User names seem to be that they have to feel right at the time I make them. For example when I tried to come up with one for Gmail it to me months because I refused to use my real name plus I didn’t want to use one with an number attached not sure why just didn’t.
Good luck to all those changing names.
May the good names flow to your thoughts.
