for the posters who chose new names

I was Fem-me, but now I'm Lynn. Because it's my name and I feel most comfortable being known.

Hmm.

Now this is some serious subterfuge.

We need to watch out for this one.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with a name change.

In all honesty I considered one myself, but was lacking in creativity the day I found the site!

It's important to embrace change and evolution, no matter what the venue. Not too mention your new name is just fabulous. It brings to mind flower wreaths, flowing beauty and delightful uninhibited times!

awwwwwwwww. you're so sweet! i thought it was just a way to avoid shaving and get lots of flowers.

dare i say it....your name is enchanting. i doubt you were lacking in creativity so much as the name suited you so well it didn't want to leave you yet.

what have i done?

hippieflowergirl · 11-30-2009, 08:13 PM

okay. enough with the kisses and sugarlips treatment.

what about the peeps who think changing IDs is low down and sneakified? i'm not askin' anyone to love me but it bites in a big bad way to have to battle the speculation. it's natural to wonder/be curious and, in the world we've created, to not engage in trust at first sight. plus, i've been a jerk more times than i can count in life. if anyone had something to hide at one point it's probably me.

humans are suspicious creatures when their companions don't smell right. so...what to do, besides give time and space, to make the more name-attached comfortable?

kittygrrl · 11-30-2009, 08:24 PM

personally, I enjoy thinking up unique ways of expressing who I am, and since the net is limited changing your name to distinguish a change in your circumstance (ie newly single, just married), or just because is just fine, imo..however, I think there are a few out there who use them for other more sinister reasons..but ultimately whoever you are shines out apart from any name chosen and your personality creates an overall impression of who you are..so no matter how clever you are, there is always someone who may want to figure out your puzzle..to that I say "bring it on"

TeaPartyTart · 11-30-2009, 08:28 PM

I kept my 'old' screen name. I didn't keep it because it's my 'identity' or because you all could stalk me easier (though it's good for the ego).

I kept it because I'm getting too damn old to remember yet another screen name and password on another site.

Call me practical. I know ya want to.

I'd prefer to call you Slut Face, but only because of that avatar you chose.

Selenay · 11-30-2009, 08:31 PM

I was gonna change my screen name, but I can never even remember my password when I get logged out, so the likelihood of me being able to remember both a new username and a password is less than zero.

Old dog, old tricks.

Whatever... I remember when you were (s)ASStastic.

Isadora · 12-02-2009, 11:52 AM

I have legally changed my name once. My choice. I have gone by my on line name on and off and am mostly known as Deborah Isadora.

In the good ole days, you could change your name a lot. I was...depending on the mood or the play, I was the Baronessa, Rose Red, White Girl #2, Miss Kitty, SisterMaryRedNailsONWhiteBreast and oh I am sure there are few others but whooo remembers!

I like my name, I chose it and like SassyLeo, it holds my history.

For a long time, even though I knew your name as Deb(orah), I called you Isadora because it seemed to suit you. For me, it feels like a Revered name...and I might have a teeny bit of Femme Hero Worship

girllikeu2 · 01-14-2010, 10:22 PM

My multisite name is testament to the fact that I forget everything as soon as Im told (ask my honey who forgets NOTHING) and Im SURE if I were to take a stab at creativity in the name department I'd forget who I was within minutes.

Its not you, its me!
