Its been bugging me for a year now. This is the only forum I use the name Vampyr on. Everywhere else im Trice.
For the most part, I've stayed Vampyr, because this was my first foray on the interweb, all those Special Reserve Years ago. Its a throwback to my interweb youth, if you will.
But im not a teenager anymore (since December, lol) and my memory is waning. I come here and think "who's this Vampyr? Oh, its me!" looking for posts by Trice.
I was a sad child when Flockhart became Nin, mainly because it confused me. And I recently became aware Sunny changed her name too. This too confused me.
I'm also aware that this is probably a highly uneeded thread, as few of you will care for more than 5 mins if im Vampyr or Trice, coz it wont confuse you.
So, do i keep the original name, the one literally tens of you are used to, the one (specially) reserved for you dudes and dudetts or switch to the name i use for the rest of the interweb plebs in order that i dont get confused?
er, who get nominated, you decide? Ah Davina would be spinning in her grave.

I use to have lots of names too but I think people would want me to stick to Machie, they've all got use to it now, they would find it weird if I suddenly changed it over night to 'Jim'.

This is good thinking :D

This is the only place I use YH. Does it matter? Not really. As someone else said, if you change your name, just put something in your tagline so people will know.
I you do change it, put "Formally vampyr" in your tag line. Recently my cause for confusion has been these generic avatars, as I used to go by pictures to identify people. I know how simple this sounds but it worked (well used to anyway).
It's a quarterly event for me; I have a low attention span.
Change it. If you're Trice everywhere else you should be here. I think the only Flockhart account i have left is on the IMDB, everywhere else i'm Nin/Mr Nin/Ninnuendo
I may change from Alfonse the Turtle, but I really can't be asked right now.
More seriously, I'd say if you've stuck with it this long then you may as well stay as you are, or no-one will know who you are, ever. It's not all important, just when you use the forums it does become annoying if you have to follow everything you say up with an explanation of who you were..
But then I did have over about twenty names so I can see the confusion caused by it. And mild annoyance. But like you it was one of my first names on the net, and I couldn't really find one I liked. In the end I settled on the fairly stupid thenamechanger as I used to be changing it all the time and it sort of.. stuck.. because it was fairly ironic. But mainly because it was three letters to type. I don't use this name anywhere else either
