Yes, so it has. Good timing you have.
Though, it's not Meralia exactly, it's Merkku, but I use that around the internets too. And yeah I changed my name to Merkku just this month. I like it much more, it suits me better, and I've been using it for so long that practically nobody knew my real name anymore anyway. And the change feels really awesome! I never really was all that fond of my name, it didn't feel like me at all. This is so much better! And I never again have to explain why the name in the paperwork has nothing to do with the nickname. ("It all started over ten years ago on a LotR forum...")
Thanks for your curiously well timed thread
