Something related to my OC, Lisa, even though that would likely cause more gender confusion on my part xD

Other than that, I really can't think of what I would change it to. I'm pretty satisfied with my current name, actually.

Yes, I would change it...and right away. I chose this name because I had it on a few other sites ever since I was 12, but it's always the same thing.

"Hey veg, your post was OVER 9000!"

"Vegeta, you have OVER 9000 posts!"

"Vegeta, I've told you already about (fill in the blank) OVER 9000 times!"

"Veg, your joke was OVER 9000 times funnier than mine!"

"Vegeta, your skillz in hacking are OVER 9000."


OK I get it, just please stop saying the joke! :P

If I could change my username, I'd change it to either "The Truth", "Gold Member", maybe "The Dude", or possibly "The Boulder"

If I could change my username, I probably wouldn't. But here would be my top three choices:

1. Seiphre
2. Askepios
3. Eriatarka

To prove I can in fact keep a username without changing it, I wouldn't change Kyoko. I love it too much and I've already had....around 9 usernames. Not even exaggerating.

But for the sake of the thread, if I had to change my username I would most likely change it to either Burberry (though that's probably taken) or Burberrysun.

...Okay, so not really, but if they were, would you change your current username to something else? If so, then what? If not, then why?

Personally, I'd want to change my current username to Aerilyn (which just so happens to be an alternate account of mine). I've wanted it for awhile now, so I'd have no regret going from Hiiro to Aerilyn.

And just to give the thread a little flavor:

Do you miss name changes now that they've been gone for so long?
Do you hope they return?
What was it about name changes that you enjoyed the most?

I don't think I'd change. I settled on this name a while before the name changes actually stopped if my memory serves correctly, and I've sort of left a footprint in this name, so I'm content and happy to remain as is!

Do you miss name changes now that they've been gone for so long?
Not really, I missed them more when they were just taken away. I guess I just adjusted to it, accepted this was my permanent name so I don't really miss them at all!

Do you hope they return?
Honestly, I don't really care. If they came back, I wouldn't use them immediately, but I might want to sometime in the future. I know a lot of people want it, so I'll leans towards that for everyone else's sake. xP

What was it about name changes that you enjoyed the most?
Just that it was fresh and exciting to change your whole image so much. You can change your avatar, signature and profile, but the username changes made so much impact. Plus it was fun flaunting names we had made up! :D

I've started my PC life as Mr Cat Dog and I'll probably end it as Mr Cat Dog too. If other people want to change their names, good for them, but I've always been happy with mine. If they did come back, I like the idea of being a regular 'event' so to speak... maybe one or two times for year. It's mainly because of the server stress, but also because people would just be changing left, right and everywhere and, for some people, I imagine it would be harder to keep track of. Also, having a fixed time discourages frivolous name changes, as members would be forced to have their name for a reasonable length of time, instead of, like, a day or so. [/two cents]

I miss 'em, really, but I only recently started becoming a more active poster so it didn't much affect me before.

Do you hope they return?
Yes! I have an old account from 2006 that I stopped using because I didn't want to keep that username. I'd love it if the feature could return so I could get its name changed.

What was it about name changes that you enjoyed the most?
Finding out who was who after they've changed their username, lol. I actually found that quite interesting and fun.

I remember how confusing it was with new names appearing and others disappearing, especially when I was still new to the forum. I only got to experience a different name for a short while (I changed and then a month later they announced last-time-ever changes so I changed back) so I'm kinda used to this one. I think it would be fun to get a new one though I'd miss this one a little. I don't think I'd do it if it were an okay-once-more-but-this-is-really-the-last-time kind of thing.

No idea what I would change to. I think I still have a file somewhere on my computer of the names I thought about changing to back when so I would maybe take one of those.

Meh, I'm alright with 'Pyrax' as my username. It's got a nice ring to it, it's also Volcarona's French name.

Do you miss name changes now that they've been gone for so long?
All but one of the forums I go to don't allow name changes, so I'm used to not having name changes available.

Do you hope they return?
Depends on how name changes or gonna be handled if they return.

I've wanted a name change for awhile now, I have some options in mind. Anyways:

Do you miss name changes now that they've been gone for so long?

Yes, I really miss them. I've wanted to change my username for quite some time now.

Do you hope they return?

Yes, even if its like a once a year thing like Patchisou mentioned in his post.

What was it about name changes that you enjoyed the most?

It was refreshing to have a new name.

I would Change my name to 'Varion_Bluefire' since it's my more used online named and my own OC.

Do you miss name changes now that they've been gone for so long?
Not much I only used it once to add a 15 on the end of my name ¬.¬
Do you hope they return? In a way yes and no, because you'll have those annoying people who'll just be impatient and spam the thread or S-Mods
What was it about name changes that you enjoyed the most? Like I said I added only a '15' to my name and well, that's exciting[/sarcasm]

I joined on my first account, like a month or so after Name Changes ended, but I'd still definitely love them back.

I'd probably change my name to either Antebellum or Makan, although I'd probably think of something else to change it to, a week after I would have gotten it changed.

Do you miss name changes now that they've been gone for so long? Well I never actually got to experience them while they were a t PC, but I guess I do miss them. x)

Do you hope they return? Yes, a million times yes.

What was it about name changes that you enjoyed the most? As I already said, I was never actually here for them, but the whole 'new identity' thing that others have said is the best part of name changes, as is actually making a whole post theme come together by having a username match the theme you're using.

Yes. I was probably the person who changed their name more times than anyone on the forum. Not even exaggerating.

Do you hope they return?
Yeeeeeeeah, but they probably won't aha.

What was it about name changes that you enjoyed the most?
Being able to mix things up. It was exciting to get a name change.

If they were brought back, I'd probably go back to Chikara.

I'm probably one of those who really don't miss the name changes. While it was amusing to see others change their name every few months, I myself only used it once, and that was to make my name look well... silly? Now that I think about it I think it looked silly, haha. But if name changes did come back, I don't think I would be changing it any time soon. BinaryPeaches is my current online name, and I don't see that changing anytime soon. If anything, I would change my name to something lulzy like 'Twinkie in a Box', but then it'll probably be changed back to 'BinaryPeaches' like it well... should be.

No.
Do you hope they return?
Nope, because I have no need to change my name. So, I wouldn't "hope" for them to return.

Probably being given the option just to change your name and get a nicer Username.

I wasn't there when name changes existed. It would be awesome if it did, then I would have changed my name from Meganium90 to Anistorm, in which Anistorm is currently an alt account of mine and reserved it for future uses. But I sorta stuck with the Meganium90 name because most of PC call me Megan (short for Meganium) instead of my actual IRL name, ...so it'll be more confusing with Anistorm.

I'd like to see them back just so I can experience it myself. It would be amazing to see Anistorm in bold blue, or just Meganium.
