Of chocolate, that is.

I know I’m a terrible person, to even hope they’d make an exception for me. But the thing is, I miss **Elenia**. I love the name **Elenia**. It’s the name I’ve always wanted for myself. I don’t know what on earth possessed me to change it. I don’t dislike **Anaamika** , it just doesn’t feel like me.

See, the problem is, I don’t have any legitamate reason to change it. I haven’t had a sex change, or something major happen in my life. I just feel more like an **Elenia**.

I haven’t e-mailed anyone yet. If the mods/admins say NFW, then so be it. But, is there any way, even a teensy way, that I could do anything, anything, to get my old name back?

Pretty please?

I’ll ask around, and get back to you. Give us a few days.

Thank you. And again, I understand if the answer is “no”. But I figured if you never ask, you never get anything.
