I have never changed my username, but my current username I don't regret. A username is just a name and it dosn't really define what sort of person you are, it's just something other people can use to identify you; people shouldn't really care unless it's something stupid like "The Post Count"

Yes, my last name I regret. I never gave thought to my last name, but my new name is exactly what I want. I do not see another name change for a long time.

The first time I had a name change was around...2006, almost three years ago. At the time the cap for name changes was six months. Anyway, "Signomi" was the name I joined with and soon after had that name change to "Shiharu". Of course I didn't think much of it for a little while since I welcomed the change; but eventually I started really regretting having that name change, not for the fact that I missed my original name, but the cap itself was...way too long. A couple of months ago I did the very same thing for a little change, if the cap were still the same then I probably wouldn't have done so, but the Supporter privilege of three months made having a name change a rather nice deal. To summarise, the only reason I regretted my first name change was because of the length of time I had to stay with it.

...If you mean my past usernames from 2005, yes. All of them were stupid, with the exception of Twilight Sky, Musashi-Kun, Hoshiko, and maybe a few others.

This username however, I used to regret it somewhat, but now not anymore. It looks sorta cool actually; I love it. <33
It only shows two username changes on your profile..

I have yet to have changed it, but since I'm only a month away from changing it, I suppose I can say whether or not I'll regret my next name (Or even my current name).

When I first thought of the name Glion, I liked it. It's Gliscor's Japanese and it sounds pretty cool.
After a month or two I started regretting this name, thus I've been thinking of a better name.

Chances are I won't regret my next name anytime soon.

That's because he had those names before the pre-automatic name thing was used (Or whatever that box is called).

Wow. Just wow. I know you were trying to prove a point but that was just uncalled for. Personally I think usernames like The Post Count and dragonmastertim are awesome - because they were created for a laugh. At least, I hope they were. Any sorta username is awesome. You can't judge people by their names in real life, why would you break that agreement online? In real life, you befriend people because of their personality - it's pretty much the same on forums, although the quality of one's posts can also be a factor.

Did I ever regret my username change? Only a couple of days after I got it changed, I was looking through my Photobucket album and the amount of themes I couldn't use because they had Oni Raichu written on them was unbelievable. I liked quite a lot of them and I was never able to summon the willpower to get a new signature until recently. In fact, I think I only used avatars between August and January, but I could be wrong.
'It's been a prevalent notion. Fallen sparks. Fragments of vessels broken at the Creation. And someday, somehow, before the end, a gathering back to home. A messenger from the Kingdom, arriving at the last moment. But I tell you there is no such message, no such home -- only the millions of last moments . . . nothing more. Our history is an aggregate of last moments.'

Yes I did regret my multiple name changes. The only one I don't regret is |:Hiro:|...

[First Username] -> |:Hiro:| -> ~>Moonlight<~ -> Briareus -> |:Hiro:|

~>Moonlight<~ was a horrible idea... And Briareus would've been Hephaestus... But someone took it right after I requested my name change! D<

I haven't started to regret this one yet...but I know I will whenever I have to type it out :P
Lol! Yeah, typing it should be a pain! I haven't been able to change names yet. I'm not sure if I will.

Hmm, not on PC, considering I've only had one.

But I'm getting another one in two weeks.

Not a all, no. All of the usernames I've had were some variation of the name I changed to when I first changed it, which is what I'm back to now. (My first name was really noobish and I was glad to be finally rid of it.) To be honest I was really testing the field when I changed it, to see which name of the 3 gained the most recognizability. Turns out my first one was it. >.<

I've regretted most of my username changes.

simpsonqueen, which I signed up on, I changed back to eventually and... then ditched that account. Nica-chan³ didn't last for long, so that was good. HOPPING FROGGY KISSES... one of the weirdest usernames I've ever had, I regret that. infinitized... which I can't even spell anymore, definately regretted, it was stupid. ×× Nica ×× ... was pretty at first, but hated it eventually. And if I had anything else, I can't remember. Though my usernames on other accounts? ... um yeah.

Basically, Kawaii and Forever were my only good usernames. :3 (Which is why I want to keep Forever.)
