you’ll cope
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.
— The poster currently unknown as Rhubarb
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…
