I love this site, but one thing I don’t love is that you can’t change your username. I would be super happy if I could! Maybe this could be considered as a possible update for Nameberry.
It’s been raised before, here: Nameberry - Welcome to the Nameberry Forums. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like something that’s going to be possible any time soon.
I think the general consensus was that it would be too complicated to change usernames across all the platforms that NB operates on. As you can see, I ended up biting the bullet and just creating a whole new account. I figured I’d do it before I got too invested in my old account (my original join date was the same as yours).
FWIW I think your username is fine, but if you’re not happy with it I’d suggest you create a new account sooner rather than later so you can start afresh without losing years of content!
[name_m]Hi[/name_m] everyone – We hear that a lot and we would be happy to let people change usernames IF your new username could be linked to a former one in your signature. Unfortunately (and at the risk of sounding like your fifth grade teacher), a few bad apples ruin it for the rest by creating multiple usernames and posting under multiple identities. But we’ll keep this in mind if we move the forums to a new platform as we are contemplating.
What’s a way to make it linked? Thank you so much.
Nevermind. Realized my question had been addressed in the previous thread.
