Never.
Now why would I do that? And what would I change it to? These are conundrums as old as time itself. I'll just stick to being me.

Nnnope. After I first went through a couple usernames for myself back in the 90's, I then settled on (and have since always used) "TriGGeR_HaPPy", right down to that same capitalisation and underscore. ^_^

Odd bit of curiosity, do you pronounce it Zee of the Na'vi or Zed of the Na'vi.
Well, I pronounce it Zee of the Na'vi, but I know that the letter "Z" is pronounced differently in other areas of the world. "Z" also happens to be the first letter of my first name, Zach, and coupled with "of the Na'vi," I figured it had a nice ring to it at the time.
Growing up I heard both versions of Z used often so both sound natural now.

I also read your name as Zee of the Na'vi as well, but was curious if that was the intended pronunciation. It does have a better flow than zed would.

I changed it because I felt like restarting. I only had a few hundred posts and nobody knows me so it worked out good.

The Escapist S.S. changed mine, it was within registration parameters but they decided to change it, although nobody owned up and I was unable to change it back.

I changed my name once from crimsongamer to Section Crow

it was boring and unimaginative that did not reflect any aspect of me whatsoever but this username plainly speaks 'I Like Crows'

I didn't know you could do that until now. I changed the capitalization just now, but that's not a huge change.

However, I do it occasionally on Steam. I spent a while as Sakuya Izayoi from Touhou before switching back to my old "Thor, God of Thunder." now, I'm Cpl. Thor, leader of the Alpha Squad.

Nope but I'm tempted too as I made this one quickly and I'm not a fan of it. People remember me more for my avatar and not so much by name so I might consider it soon but I'll probably forget :p

No I haven't. I want to but then I have no idea what I'd change it to. I just picked this one because it was a nickname that stuck.

I always read your username as "skykemena", and I don't know why I add the "n".

Just thought I'd let you know.

OT: Nope, I haven't. I've thought about switching it to the name of my warlock in World of Warcraft and current Summoner Name in League of Legends, but haven't actually decided on whether I want to do that or not.

And I haven't switched because... well, this was the screen-name of my first e-mail account. It's got sentimental value and what have you.

[sub]That's a very weird figure of speech.[/sub]

GeneralTwinkle -> General Twinkletoes. I usually use General Twinkletoes for everything, I have no idea why I didn't for this site. It was bugging me, so I changed it.

I don't like my name that much tbh, but I'm too uncreative to think of anything else that I want to use, so I'm stuck with it :p

Yeah, once. It used to be DarKGun68 or something when I first joined, but changed it because it was a bit generic.

We can ask for a username change? :eek:

Goddamnit, ive wanted to change mine forever, frankster was one of those "barely made in 2 secs" kinda decisions as i didnt think id stick around on these forums as long as i have and frankly wish i went with something different ultimately (though keeping the bardock avatar).

Will have to consider this...

I think I used to be Unit-22, but that had zero personality.
Have to admit, recently I haven't been feeling very "devious" but I wouldn't know what else to change it to.
Besides I still like it well enough.
Ohhhhh Now i get it. Cant believe it took this long to get your username.

OT: Im happy with The_Blue_Rider. Im tempted to change to WakelessAltair because thats my username on everything else, but ill cross that road when i come to it

Yup, I did. It used to be onewheeled999, the username that I used for EVERYTHING for about six or so years.

As of late, I've come to dislike the 999 part of it, thinking it sounded too much like I'm trying to be hardcore, so I cut it. I now use just onewheeled for everything.
