I hate my user name!

I know it’s silly, but I hate my user name! It’s not very creative, and I was hoping there was someway to change it without having to go to a new account. I have a idea of what the answer might be, but I was just curious.

2

Yes - me too!!! And I’ve only just joined! PLEASE can we be able to change our email addresses &/or Usernames!!! Or even deactivate our account to start over?

4

yeah i want to change my name also, i just REALLY don’t want to start a new account. any way??

5

Agreed. Is there any way we can change it without starting completely over?

6

Ooh, ooh! Me too. I think I was half asleep when I picked out mine. Urgh.

7

I would like to change my username as well! I had a very difficult time in resetting my password too. It was very frustrating! Also under
the acct tab it only gives you the option to change your password and email address. I want an option to change my username! [name]HOW[/name] COME NO ONE ON HERE HAS GOTTEN A REPLY TO THIS?

8

I hate my username too! I wish we could change it…

9

Me, too! C’mon, we’re name lovers. We’re going to want to change our usernames.

10

I agree I would change mine too…

11

This thread is cracking me up! I’d love to drop the 528 off of mine, but ladies I think we’re stuck!?

12

I have considered starting a new acct with a name I like better and just putting “formerly known as thetxbelle” in my sig so it doesnt look like im trolling or anything weird!

13

Maybe this is the only way to do it?

I remember seeing another member of the site (@ribbons-and-soldiers, I think?), and in her signature it says “formerly evanescencedolly” (haha, sorry, I have a really good memory…), so I always figured it was possible to change your name! But I just found the profiles for both pages so I guess she just started a new account or lost her password or something. I laughed out loud when I saw this thread because I always thought you could change your username (although I never tried), but now I’m not sure it’s really possible…

14

I love my username of ebenezer.scrouge

15

I decided to start a new account - I used to be “hazelet”. I like “namenutt” much better, but I hate that I cant go back to old posts I wrote as hazelet. I do hope that nameberry will oneday reply to this thread. Please. nudgenudgewinkwink :slight_smile:

[name]Hugh[/name] to have a look at this and see whether he can come up with a better solution for everyone!

Sorry to bring you this disappointing news… but there is no way to change your user name without creating a new account with a different email address. Then, if you wanted to maintain your nameberry identity, you’d have to sign both names in your signature. Of course, you could add the name you wish you had to the signature now, and say “thetxbelle who wishes she were namebelle” or whatever.

I’m sure whatever tech person invented our signup mechanism (not [name]Hugh[/name] – he’s just the messenger) could not imagine berries ie the kind of person who would care so much about their user names!
