I'm still laughing at this.
I'd agree that most of these tips are good. Actually I'd also advise against changing to something that's.. well... different from your original name, unless you really want to, you're fully ready, and some of your friends understand you. The reason for this is, no matter how well people know and love you (excluding those you may actually discuss this major name change with), you'll receive quite a bit of negative feedback, even if your name is totally more awesome than it used to be. It's this sort of psychological tendency that's unavoidable, people will tend to gain a bond to a short 10-letter string, and when you overwrite that string completely with a totally different set of letters, they don't react very nicely. I don't really know if I'm all correct with this, as I've only changed names once <_<, but it's always something to look out for.
tl;dr make sure everyone is okay with your name change before you do it

- Use other people's usernames, replacing a letter or two with 1337 (Leet) symbols; Characters and numbers (|-| = H, |\| = N), because that's going to be really stupid; You ARE going to regret putting your name as "Blu3 Dr4g0n" or "p3ppy".

If you aren't well known, nobody will recognize you and will be angry if you expect them to know who you are
It's a lose/lose situation, really
What would also suck with a name change is that if you're the only original version and you change it. There is a good chance someone is going to take your previous name and then you won't be able to go back (if you REALLY screw it up). Just my thoughts on it.
I was just wondering.
If your 'friends' get angry over a name change, would you really consider them your friends?
Just seems like such a trivial thing to get angry about.

I can confirm this. I tried to hide by changing my username. Didn't quite work; they found out somehow. So then I gave up and used IRC with "Ekaru" as my user name until the mass name rollback occurred (which will probably never happen ever again). Now all is well.awp wrote:

So yes, I highly recommend thinking things through first. I recommend just removing excess crap from your name or giving it good capitalization, unless it's like Weegeevsweegee or some crap like that. I approve of this thread.
Good ideas and info. I was thinking of changing my name, but I guess I don't really need to.
You forgot to mention how awesome 4-letter names are!

I was only referring to temporarily having people making rude comments about the name change, if it was permanent then the name change system would never be used <_<
Even though I can't talk since minimal crap was pulled on to me when I changed my name. (I think only a few people such as Larto, ztrot and Rolled got irked at me when I changed it) It really is a thing to say, like Rantai, whether the friends who get angry at you are really your friends.
And even with people who aren't, it's just a matter of a fact that if you're happy with it. A rollback is only going to do so much. I am still proud of my name change and do not regret my decision at all.

Mashley's superior guide
- Do not change your name to a japanes-y sonding series of random syllables with no relation to your previous name. That is fucking annoying.
Esupanitix sure is a mouthful of a name, but it's an improvement. 6/10.

Some did. Honestly, it was more along the lines of annoyance in general. Whenever I'd talk in the chat, some new guy would say "WEEGEE VS WEEGEE OMG THE WORLD WILL END".Shellghost wrote:

I think everyone pretty much knew the reason people made fun of you, your username just exemplified it.
@S-Panitix (Esu = S in japanese lol) I must admit that I was like "WUT" when you changed your name :/
Also almost two years I must admit that being laughed at because of your nick is really annoying. It's not that I experienced that but with my IRL name and a friend's being almost the same, I went from "lolrofl" to "fnrozeugfhziufhoifhzeoi". :/

Even if you're addressing the weeaboos who originally didn't have Japanese names, people can have their own choices. Having a name with romaji isn't annoying/offensive to the general public, only a range of people, therefore I think this is a bad suggestion.

Putting "osu" in your name just ruins it entirely. If I HAVE to explain, it's because that's the game you're playing, which means you didn't even have the "originality" to remember a favorite series. It's unoriginal but it's better than using the name of the franchise of the website you're using in your username, that's for sure. Imagine if I were on YouTube and I put my username down as "YouTuber". How bad do you think that would be?

There was a mass rollback of name changes after the first week or so, and you were not the only one affected. You were extremely active in chat at the time and, thus, well-known, and your name change confused the hell out of everybody. This was the exact reason given in the post which listed the name of users affected by the rollback, actually (Justin Bieber wasn't confusing, though, but I think that was changed anyways as an act of mercy).
All of the examples you posted are of either not well-known users, or took place after the first week name changes were allowed, after the rollback occurred and there were less chaos. That's all there is to it.
Then it's my destiny to be called tits forever!

Plus, it doesn't matter if it was after the first week or not, people should only change their nicknames if they have a good reason to.
For me, it looks like Teta has a good reason, since his name means boobs. :i There's all kind of jokes with his names.
I don't see a reason for why not, since he's as well-know as Lilly is, and he has a good reason too. One should really consider it.

After the first week or so there was a rollback due to confusion and/or stupidity; it happened soon after Wojjan changed Wojjan's name to Todesengal, thus leading to mass confusion. Because both Teta and I changed our names prior to the rollback, we were included as part of the rollback because we were well-known. People affected by the rollback also lost their one name-change opportunity. However, that was the only rollback.
Because Mariobros777, Harris##, and Weegee changed their name after the rollback, and there were no rollbacks after the first one, they were allowed to keep their name change, for better or for worse. It's all about the timing, and that's all there is to it. Fair? Probably not. Is that the way it is? Pretty much.
So, if he's still unable to change his name, that is why.
Mariobros and Weegee are sort of silly/generic names, they deserve some leeway.
If you people would just be creative/responsible/mature in the first place you wouldn't be in this mess.

Also, while 4 letter names are awesome, 7 letter names are my maximum if I want to be known as someone.

TRY to make sure that your name is one of the only of its variety. If everyone goes around pulling ten letters out of a Scrabble Tile bag, we're going to have a full army of Esupanitixes. And considering how I act, you DON'T WANT THAT.I tried that, and I got TBTE in it
