I try to come up with a name I enjoy enough from the beginning and I'm kind of rigid in my ways. At least when it comes to names, when it comes to gender, I like sites like this or Gaia to give you the option to change them.

Ah, for sure, that's my method now I'm older and wiser!
But back in 2006, when I first used the februarybabe nickname, I was significantly less so...
Silly tiny Feb :mcgloom:

That's really cool that there's a name changing feature now :0 If ever I decide to pick another alias online at least I can change it here xD

The first username I used on here was "Lag" because I was super into this anime "Letter Bee/Tegami Bachi" at the time xD Though, most people thought I was referring to the literal definition of lag, which was kind of a bad thing :v I moved out of that username soon enough though :x

I'm... McCoy. It's my first name, my username; it works.
My first username for forums/the internet when I was maybe 8 in 2004-ish was "reallylongusername" because apparently 8-12 year old me found the concept o an 18 character ironic username appealing.
I grew up though... and around 2010 briely went as "99.9%" because or some reason 13 year old me thought that was cool, but it quickly wore off and I adopted my birth name as my universal/online ID.

wait... whaaaat? Really?

hmmm.... maybe I should change mine... but like, it's been Kahime for so long x3 It's like a part of my identity, albeit an old one.
I tend to go as "Ghosty" or "GoGoGhosty" now, as Kahime was a pet name an ex gave me x3

I used to want to change my first name (Elaina). But I wanted to change it to Ebony or some such. Things that don't suit me x3

I love old names, like Malachi, Willemina, Ethel

McCoy is an interesting first name

I've never considered changing my username. I've grown so attached to mine I think if I were to change it I would forget it.

As for my name, I thought of shorting it, cuz I have 3 names plus my family name, but I'm too lazy to do the forms XD

I never thought I would change my username but as soon as we had the option I changed it from Hime-Asahikage to what I have now.

I've thought about changing my username.

I do love Silent Stardust but I was thinking about changing it to LissLissington or Lissie Quinnie but no one would know who I am if I change it.

Also I infrequent the site, so there's probably a handful of users who actually know who I am. Lol

You could always put your old username in your mood or locations or someplace like that. That way, people would see it and be like "ohh, it's youuu"
