At the time I requested my current username, I had been lurking for awhile and saw no similar usernames, or names that might be confused as being my spouse or what-not. I even asked around, similar to this post. The closest at the time was ‘crankyasanoldman’ or some similar name. [Looks different when I type it out]
Anyway, I am not a prolific poster by any means. Maybe 1 or 2 mostly forgettable posts per month. But I now see that my current username “meanoldman” has a counterpart of “meanoldlady”. “Meanoldlady” the poster seems nice and all. No qualms with her having the name. But I think there might be a few people that could -assume- that meanoldman and meanoldlady are somehow related. To the best of my knowledge, we are not.
I am very willing to change to “someoldman” if there isn’t already a username that is similar. So, ATMB readers, does anyone else have something close to “someoldman” or opposite gender equivalent?

I personally don’t think those names are so close as to cause confusion.
However, if you (or anyone) would like a name change (for this or any other reason), please email an administrator from the email address in your registration, and we’ll be happy to make the change for you. In short, no big deal, meanoldman, and you should feel free to do whatever makes you comfortable. If you are worried about similarity of name, you can easily change it. We’re certainly NOT worried about it, and if you want to stick with you name, that’s absolutely fine, too.
Please send me an email. This is to ensure that someone’s not playing a joke using your account – we’ve had that situation before – so we want to make sure this is your account and this is what you really want.
[EMAIL=“TubaDiva@aol.com”]Email. And I’ll be happy to change it for you.
