Title: name question
Post by: achab1984 on November 05, 2012, 08:15:32 AM: Hi everyone and good morning :)

I am wondering if we are able to change our site name on here? The reason that I am asking is due to getting a divorce over a year ago and still haveing a part of my old last name in my profile name on here.
a is the first letter in my first name
vene was the first four letters in my old last name and
1984 is the year that I was born.

I kind of thought of amay1984. The is my middle name. I do not want to put my last name in it right now. Due to I might be changing down the road again.

Or you all think that I should just leave it as it is? I know that all you members that have been on here for sometime now know me by that name. What do you think?

Just my suggestion though.

As for what it should be, it doesn't matter - you'll put the "formerly known as" in your signature and we'll all get used to it.

I think that I am going to just keep it so you all know who it is....... :) If I do change it down the road I will make sure I keep things so you all know that its still me!
