Nickname change (read first post!)

Can we change my username to Ada

A few other people already have "Uncle" in their handles, so I’d suggest an adjustment just to prevent any unnecessary confusion🙂. Maybe something simpler using just Ada, for instance.

Could we change my handle from
Jessica Baker2

to Jessica Baker2?

Sure, just reach out to Nice.

Hi there! Would it be possible to have my username updated so it starts with a capital letter?
Thanks so much in advance, Ethan Walker20.

Of course! 👍 Just reach out to Nice.

On February 12, 2013, I was dealt an incredibly unfair hand. Bill Bully labeled me—and frankly, I can't carry that stigma around anymore. It’s weighing on me.
I’d love to just hit the reset button. Start fresh. A clean slate.

I’m requesting a change to my username from Austin Alvarez62 to Austin Alvarez62.

Thanks.

Sure, but just a heads-up: if you’re logging in via Reddit—say, on your phone—you might run into some login headaches.
If you want to move forward, just reach out to New Orleans to finalize the change.

Quick question—if I wanted to swap my handle, which of these should I go with:
Joshua Adams94, Joshua Adams94 or Joshua Adams94?

There's already a user named Joshua Adams94 (who hasn't posted in ages, though), so I guess the first one's out.

Good call, but you can pick either of the other two.
Just make up your mind and let Nice know. 🙂

Can I just use Larry Jones22 or maybe just Larry as an abbreviation for this?

Thanks in advance.

Sure thing, just reach out to Nice.

Can I go by Andrew Martin47? (I couldn't find Andrew Martin47 on the member list, and honestly, everything seemed taken when I first signed up.)

The search function isn't pulling anything up either, so there might be some kind of glitch in the system, but please, reach out to Nice—maybe she can dig a little deeper since she handles the admin side of things.

Can I change my username to Twinkle? There are a few different versions out there, but Twinkle should be available. This one is just way too long 🙂

Thanks!

It won't work; the handle is already taken. Maybe Tiptoe, or John Mitchell6 🙂

Hello,
I’d like to request a username change to Microsoft.

The old handle was just a fun thing I used when I first joined, and I didn't plan on keeping it long-term since I had another account I couldn't access (back when I used to moderate this forum on my phone). Eventually, silverpuma92 just stuck, and honestly, it doesn't really fit me anymore... I won't bore you with all the potential awkwardness it causes. 😁
I mostly post in the Cycling section, so changing it shouldn't cause any major ripples across the site.

Thanks!

I'm sorry, but we don't allow corrections that completely overhaul a username. The one you're requesting is too different from your current one.

Jane Doe would be fine, thanks 🙂 😁

Get in touch with New Orleans 🙂

Hi there, I was wondering if it might be possible to change my username from Memphis to something else? Thanks!

Unfortunately, that username is already taken.

Greetings. I am inquiring whether a modification can be made to fadedrider4, or if that is deemed too minor a request, perhaps at least this: fadedrider4

It could be fadedrider4 or fadedrider4 159; please get in touch with Nick.

Evening 🙂

Is there any way I could change my username to Ashley Garcia2?
Thanks so much 🙂

Yeah, you should be able to, just reach out to Nice.

Thanks a lot, it's been updated 🙂

Well, could I use Zachary Jones3 instead... I think that one isn't taken...🙂

Yeah, that should work—just reach out to Nice.

Greetings. If possible, I would like to change my username from Michael Cruz2 to New York City... thank you.

No, it isn't particularly similar to the current one.

Could you please change my username to Peter Flores77

Sure thing, just reach out to Unknown.

Go ahead and get all worked up if you want, but you've only got five posts under your belt, so you don't really have a leg to stand on. Honestly, I’m going to ask that people with maybe ten posts total just stay out of these threads entirely. If you're that desperate to weigh in, go ahead and make a new account and be done with it.

I don't have many posts yet, and I'm looking to ditch this handle (basically, start over with a new one). When I try to register, I keep getting this error message: 😈-the email address you entered is already in use. If you forgot your password, please click here.
Does this mean I can't create a new account using the same email address?

Wait, is Julius Caesar actually your handle or what? If it is, you probably need to submit a request to change it from that specific account.
The rule about needing a certain number of posts was scrapped a while back. You can actually ask for a name change regardless of how much you've posted now. All the updated rules are sitting right there in the first post if you care to look.

Regarding that specific change you mentioned: C@es@r-Spele@us... honestly, once you've put it out there like that, it’s a no-go, because they aren't even close enough to be considered similar.
As for the email situation, you can only link one handle to a single email address. If you're trying to use an email that's already tied to an account to make a new one, I guess you just have to go into the old profile, swap its email out for something else, and then that "old" address is free to use again for the new setup.

Hey there, I was wondering if it might be possible to change the username to Bryan Kelly2?

Sure thing 🙂
If you're looking to switch it to Bryan Kelly2, that would actually be even better, so maybe just reach out to Nice 🙂 and let them know
