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

DO NOT
- Use numbers in your name; it's typical and unoriginal.
- Use terms in your name that can be used as derogatory against you; I can guarantee it will end badly if you use 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!
"Ok.'

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.

I love my username <3

I was considering changing my name to just 'Padraig' but I would think alot of people would get confused since people on osu! see me as Vamp

Simply type a randomly picked name and consider it your last name.
Oh well that's a good topic, but I'm wondering if people who think about it will see this thread. imo it deserves a sticky. *runs*
thought that what you mentioned was really self explanatory
if you don't realize that your nick looks pants on head retarded then it fits you just perfectly
(inb4 "sais the one with the name failboat". I am aware of that my name is a meme, albeit had it for ages so i don't see why i should bother changing. Haven't seen all too many people going by the same nick anyhow
i would obviously change it if i could (or actually gave a shit))

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:

Well, I only made fun of you because you told me you had an IQ higher than Einstein.
Personally, while I never made fun of him, I laughed at him silently because of his amazing youtube video. ^_^GladiOol wrote:

But back on topic. I agree with Mashley, kinda. That gets so annoying.
This'd be my favorite line in that post. The whole post is great though!Esupanitix 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". :/

For the love of fuck, PLEASE do not use names that are composed fully of Hiragana/Katakana. As Mashley stated on Page 3, it is annoying as fuck.
And it's not annoying as fuck, it's the same as having a name in any other language. You wouldn't bitch at someone who has a language preference for their name would you?
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.
LOLOL wish my nick was in kanji and not shit romanized japanese name.
My nick is in the sexiest language on the planet.
