I want to change my user name. I emailed Lynn Bodini a few weeks ago, but never got a reply, so I’m not sure if she got it, or it got overlooked or something. Anyway, can someone let me know who to email to change my name? Thanks! ---

> [@hawthorne](#): > > Lynn hasn’t been around much recently. [Supposing you haven’t changed your name before](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=278176), try TubaDiva. Just out of interest… I originally registered under the name **peter morris** (note small letters.) Then I asked to change it to **Peter Morris** (note capitals.) Which is what I’d meant in the first place. does this count as my one change? If I wanted a different user name, could I get one? Not that I have any plans at the moment. Just asking. ---

Whatever you like (within reason, of course). No, just initializing (so to speak) doesn’t count as a name change. Send me an email when you’re ready.
