I’ve changed my name twice. Before I was **Attrayant** , I was called **Opus**. Hopefully the statute of limitations has run out on punitive actions for abusing the name change policy. ---

Not in Virginia, so I would avoid heading south for the next year or two. ---

I was \*\*Dewaholic \*\* for about a year or two. I changed it because I managed to get off the junk successfully. Although to this day, one can will send me on a weeklong bender. 😉 ---

[QUOTE=VarlosZ] So what is it? Isn’t it kind of a hassle to be suddenly anonymous again? Or is that the allure? [/QUOTE] I haven’t changed my name, but I can see the appeal. Let’s face it - many people here have chosen usernames based on their hobbies or tastes at the time that they signed up. And over a period of years, tastes change. Dare I say it, people may even grow up. With the rest of one’s life one has to deal with names that don’t change as you do - unless you’re one of those stubborn people who can make a nickname change stick. (David for Dave, or something of the like.) My own username isn’t as descriptive as it used to be. I still like anime, but for a number of reasons I’m really out of the loop these days. ---

Funny you should mention that–I actually list my address as 8728 Facefuck Drive when I sign up for things with companies I want to keep my real address safe from. Nobody has called me on it. ---

Just to be a pain in the ass, there was an apostrophe in my former name. ---
