Can I change my user name?

Hey… I want to change my user name. Is that possible? Demian reminds me of an ex who became quite abusive and psycho…

You sure can. Email/PM Marley or TubaDiva, they’ll send the request upstairs. I think jdavis is the one to make the actual change so it may take a few days as he has his hands full right now.
Include a list of three possible names you want in order of preference.

Not PM – send us an email from the address that controls your account. We must validate this is actually you and not someone playing a joke.

List your current name and the name you want and maybe a couple of alternates – it’s possible your first choice in name may be already taken.

Send it to me at tubadiva@straightdope.com and we’ll forward it up for processing.
