**Monica** ,  
I have been considering a username change as well. Fer crying out loud, I’m a vegetable I don’t even like! (I wasn’t thinking of the vegetable when I chose it.) I’ve been here quite awhile, but don’t post much, and usually don’t have much to say when I do, so I’ve been considering changing my username to **Succint** or **Terse**. Then I could use the sig line “The poster formerly unknown as **Rhubarb**.” 🙂

Anyway, if you still feel like changing names AND want to keep **Giraffe** from hating you 😃 , how about **Señorita Monica** or **Monica Morena**? You can get the Spanish flavor (cumin?) and preserve continuity, just like Courtney Cox-Arquette.

Hmmm…that’s a thought. I’ll think about that, **rhubarb**.

And if it makes you feel any better, Giraffe, you are well loved!

And you wonder why I don’t want you to slip off into obscurity… 🙂
