name changing confusion!

[mightieskeeper]

I'm just now noticing all the name changes.  Could some make a list.
Jenna Guppy breeder
Nick
Blair regalblue
Just 3 that I noticed.

[Regalblue]

D.Koch is now Maize and Blue
guppy breeder is now African Cichlid Breeder
NWR (whatever number ) is now Nick.
Mine is back to what it has always been (since Marty Did not approve of D1ckh34d )

Any more questions?

Thanks Blair for making that clear.  Did anyone else what to change their name.

I was going to change mine to Blair... but just got to lazy and didnt do it.

 

[Maize-N-Blue-D]

Wow - this has gotten a lot of press!

Clarification:  When I started this forum I was asked for a username, not having an established one in existance I just used my first initial and last name.  After being in the forum for a few months I thought it would be best to get my name outta public view so I decided to change it..  Since I am a huge UoM fan I changed it to MaizeNBlueD....Thus answers the WHY !

I was not aware and how could I have been that a couple of other people had decided to do the same thing...

The way I see it, you're name is a sign of your reputation. Some people become well known by their name and  yet some others keep changing names. IMO, that shows a bit about their reputation. I have a couple other handles on non-fish forums where I'm not fond of my initial choice for a screen name, but I don't change them because I've attained a good reputation with them.

I am a firm believer that when I got into this hobby I was going to meet a lot of great people and swapping and selling, etc so I wanted to use my name,so there is no confusion, even though I confuse Myself almost every day.
