This was the first site I used SwnyTddObsd on, and now I use it everywhere XD I love it, and I hope I never find anything to replace it with, unless I wanted to do my real name... but Ally just doesn't fit me sometimes. :tard:

Okay, now I'm seriously considering changing my name :P And here's why:

I chose the name inhisxeyes when I was in ninth grade. It's a song from the Jekyll and Hyde musical called In His Eyes, and I do still love it, but I created the name when I loved a boy in my Vocal Class. And when I created it, my livejournal said "A broken rose in his eyes". And srsly, that's tacky and teen-emo and I still can't believe used "a broken rose". Wtf, self -slap-

Obviously, I don't love this guy anymore. I don't even talk to him. And not that my username reminds me of him at all, because it doesn't, but I feel like I should start to deviate from it.

So, reading all that nonsense, what do you guys think? I'm leaning toward changing my name, but idrk. Opinionz, pl0x?

If you want to change it, then do so. :) You are the one who has to feel comfortable with a new nickname, not one of us. Others will only have to keep in mind "oh, right, -newusername- was inhisxeyes before". If you feel the need to deviate from it, then maybe you should think about it some days. If you still feel like that afterwards, it might be best to change your username so you feel comfortable with it again. If you still are unsure then maybe you should keep it for now and simply wait. Maybe after some time you'll come to the conclusion that it really isn't a name you want to keep or you'll decide that, even though it's old and from a time "long" ago, it just feels right.


All of this aside: I haven't changed my username so far, though I've been thinking about it quite often. I got the username Calthyn from a quite random site and didn't think about it much before. There's this one username I came up with some years ago and that I'm fond of, but somehow even that one isn't feeling right anymore. (And where are all these google entries coming from suddenly? When I last searched for it, there were mostly things from me and ~4 other sites in a language I don't know. D:)

I considered changing my user name low these many eons ago, back when I was new on the site but somehow I don't think this site needs a "Devil's Advocate".

I like my username and probly wont ever change it. All though it may be long, it still makes me smile when I type it in. Foghorn is the name of a cartoon leghorn rooster. :D Plus I LOVE chickens so I think it fits fine. :lol: Below is a picture of him. :D

I used to be Petpettrish, now I'm Erika. I just thought that I made Petpettrish when I was seven, and just needed a change. Erika, my fursona, was a nice change. Everyone still calls me Petpet, and I'm fine with that. :yarly:
Rather inactive, haha oh yea this is dead bye everyone :P
