Should I change my username?

Post by Kuja »

Since everyone around here calls me Iggy anyway, should I ask DW to change my name? I'll keep 'IG-88E' in my sig for reference, though.

If you call yourself Iggy people will just shorten it to Ig.

It's not that I hate being called Iggy, it's just that that's what everyone calls me anyway.

No, just keep it. "Iggy" is just a nickname. "IG-88E" is your "real" name.

Most people call me "Dave". Doesn't mean I have to change my name to it.

Look at it this way, Iggy, do you really want ~5 morons a day PMing you asking why you're called Iggy? You know they won't make the connection with your sig line.

I think you should keep it the way it is. IG-88E looks better anyway...

Nah...it's just a nickname.

Making it the real name is just odd.

No Iggy, keep your name its the one ytou started out with and it is YOUR name as many here have already said. The fact that people call you Iggy is a term of endearement and a sign of how well received you are. Think of it this way, the Davids in the world are either called Dave or David. People who call the David in their social circle Dave care more for the guy than those that just say David. Nicknames mean something and should never replace the name from which they were derived so I say keep the name and revel in the fact that to your friends your Iggy.
Wherever you go, there you are.
