Just wanted to advise the crowd that I’ve changed my username. (Thanks, TubaDiva.)
My original was my real name, which was a 1999 mistake; my name of the last several months was a generic placeholder. After deep consideration of about three minutes, I’ve chosen a highly representative and meaningful name to represent me here f’revermore.
Points to anyone who can spot the derivation without Google-fu. No cheating, now.
I thought we were only allowed one username-change?
This is my only true name change. The former was from merging my original 1999 account and my newer one - the older name was dropped and there was no other change.
I don’t believe there’s a fixed limit to how many name changes you have per se, just that they don’t want people changing names willy-nilly which would be confusing. So unless you have a good reason, then they prefer you stick with what you’ve got.
Is willy-nilly not available, then?
mmm
Sure, if you really want it…
One of my City of Heroes alts was a huge yellow tanker named Mean Mr Mustard, BTW.
Is this part of your super-secret anti-snark defense plan?
Like I’d tell you.
For the last time, don’t use my real name on the boards. Do you know how much trouble I’ve already had with a rhyming hyphenated name? Not to mention that last night my underage nepalese au pair masseuse intern screamed out “Ooh, chilly-willy!”
Well, sorta. The name “willynilly” (no hyphen) is registered, but has no posts. So “willy-nilly” is technically available, but the mods and admins have generally frowned upon people finding names too similar to someone else. In this case, though, it probably would slide thru.
Would you* allow willie-nillie?

No
Also, none of you better be thinking about taking drewtwo100. I’m saving that for when I level up!
I hate to tell you guys this but there are a shitload of other Billfishes out there.
677 to be exact.
You forgot “Poster Zero”
I call dibs on drewthree99.
