    Hello everyone.
    My username has bothered me since I first did it. In all honesty when I first joined I thought I would not be on very long so I just came up with the fist thing I cuold think of. People have something personal or cool and I just have "jvn95" It sounds like a robot in my head.

    Here I am 6 months later getting on everyday, I love EC so much I want to help people as much as I can because I sure appreciated the help to got when I first came out.

    So, what do you think? Should I change my user to something more not robotic and generic sounding? Or keep it?

    If I change it, the name will probably be associated with or have my first name, Jude.

    I'm sure alot of y'all don't even care and are like "Just shut up and change it if you want to." :slight_smile:

    Thanks

    Personally, I hate my username. I chose it because I was massively paranoid and didn't want anyone finding out who I was. I didn't even upload a picture until a month ago! I'm sticking with my username because I can't really think of anything better, and, after so long with it, I can't be bothered to change it!

    I think jvn95 is fine. If you want to change it, then do! It's all up to you, of course. I said you should go for changing it, simply because that's what you seem to want to do!

    I hate my username too. I opted not to change it because too many people already know me as "Chickenlover" and I didn't want to confuse anybody. but if you hate yours and want to change it, sure, go for it!

    I don't think there's anything wrong with 'jvn95' but if it bothers you that much, then go for it! :slight_smile:

    P.S I love the picture in your signature!

    Er, could anyone please tell me how to change mine - I realise now I chose something I don't like because the one I wanted was taken. Now I know what I want it to be.

    Thanks

    If you think changing it would be the new you or you simply dont like it, then you should change it (if you have something better in mind anyway!)

    Psh, please. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: I'm on my third (and hopefully final) username, and people tend to get used to it pretty quickly. :slight_smile:
