See, personally I would have put my old name in the title. Since looking at the thread starter doesn’t do any damn good in figuring out who’s changing their name, does it? ---

Uh, yeah… that’s why I said he writes it better than those of us who were born English-speakers. There are a lot of non-English-speaking people on here, and unless vB automatically translates from every language known to man, I’m assuming they all write engilsh. 🙂 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Tusculan \* > \*\*I have considered other names too. I wanted to keep some kind of continuity.
