Dearest of Great Ones. Goodness, I feel so “Rush 2112”.

If I, mere peasant that I am, asked kindly thine blessings upon me…

May I change my name upon which I humble myself on your soil? \<hic\>

Do I say here or through email?

I think you have to email \*\*Tubadiva \*\*with those sorts of things, as that seems to the official procedures.

Note that, according to the [FAQ](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=7697072#post7697072), "we’re happy to change your name once. Twice, you’d need a damn good reason. We’re not about to change your name every other week. "

We’re pretty flexible on stuff like this, sometimes it takes people a time or two to get it right. We can help.

Nah, I think **NOLA Cajun** is a better name than **Rush 2012**.
