One day left, please talk me out of changing my name
If I changed it now, it'd probably be "Alexiel," after my favorite character in my favorite manga series by my favorite author. I first read it back in high school, and I consider that series one of the biggest influences on my art and writing.

I like my current name very much, as it's a very personal name. But that's the problem. It's extremely easy to find out my real name from it, and I don't think I like that.

5. It's all the other stuff you have to change
Your driver's license, mortgage, bank accounts, get new checks, new business cards, your friends gotta change their tattoos ...


Oh, you mean change your DU name ...


I'm leaving mine the same due to lack of imagination.

:hi:

8. Change it.
You have a concern about anonymity. That trumps all.

Alexiel is a cool name too.

9. I really like your name now...
I think it has meaning. I'd be sad to see it changed.


But Alexiel is cool too - from "Angel Sanctuary" right?


:shrug:

My name, which I won't be changing, is also a favorite character - just one from a movie and its sequel. I've had a few fans of these movies talk to me about it when they saw my name, so it's actually a way to accidentally meet new people of similar interests.

16. keep it
I'm private online about who I am.... sort of. If someone were really dedicated, they could figure out who I am after a few hours of searching, but I don't think that will happen. Even if they did, they couldn't find out much that I wouldn't volunteer if politely asked. I really don't think you should change it - really.
