If you changed your name during the Amnesty period, are you still happy that you did? |
|
...or, if given the chance, would you change it back to your original name again?

3. No, I kinda miss ALiberalSailor... |

...my attempt to rake off my favorite fashion designer has been an unmitigated failure.

6. I'm finding that I don't know who people are anymore. |

I was familiar with your ALiberalSailor persona, but I didn't know that you were now SKKY. I was the person who helped you get your last few posts to get to 1000, so I specifically remember you.
I wish that part of the change was that the old name went into the user's profile for a year or so. The name in the sig line for a short period of time helped, but it wasn't long enough for me to get everything straight. I often wonder whether someone left DU or changed their name.
Sorry that you don't like your name. :(

4. "...are you still happy that you did?" |
|
YES! My name now sounds upbeat and happy, almost lyrical to me. It matches how I feel now about what's happening in America. :)
My old name was dreary and old sounding, very serious; I chose it b/c I was SO Intimidated by the vast intelligence at D.U. - I was SO not up to par, lol. The last thing I woulda done back then was choose a fun/silly name like the one I have now.

10. This is my original name. I *definitely* had a dream back... |
|
in 2005 when I joined DU. My dream's a little closer to reality now, but we still have a long way to go...
I like my name quite a bit, but people never know what to call me. (I didn't quite "get" the concept of a username when I first joined DU. I didn't understand that people would actually refer to me by it. :D)
That being said, I still very much like the name. Dr. King is a real hero of mine.
:fistbump:

THAT makes it a different ball game all together.
late '04/'05, yeah. " I have a Dream" - wow, enough to bring a tear to my eye just remembering that time.
Very powerful.
