Does anyone else think the name changes are annoying? I wouldn't be surprised if no one agrees since I feel like the only one who hasn't changed my name a few dozen times.

Does anyone else think the name changes are annoying? YES!!!!! It's so annoying, and not really that funny. I think it causes more confusion than its worth... I don't mind the if the old name is still part of it like The Max and Rob64 did, but when Mineable and others change their name 3 times in as many days, it's very annoying and hard to keep track of. To be honest, I don't even like my name that much but won't change it just because as I said, the name changing thing causes more confusion than it's worth.

I changed mine twice yesterday then decided after about a half-hour to go back. I'll stick with what I got.
I really don't think that many people are changing their names.

If there is a good reason behind it ("The Max" becoming "Juan") or if its real funny (uhhhh..), then yes.
Otherwise, the changes are lame.

If there is a good reason behind it ("The Max" becoming "Juan") What was the reason he changed his name? And why did Shadowblue change his name also?

The Max renamed to Juan because of the hurricane that hit Halifax.
I changed my name, but it doesn't mean I won't change it back ever.
Modify: Never mind, Ben already said the first part.

I also think that the name changes are annoying. I'm sticking with the name "FreakyFlyBry", and likely never changing it.

It isn't annoying if you can click on the name and immediately tell who the person is (like Mineable's). Or if the banner / avatar is obvious. That isn't always true, however.
Why not? Many people changed their names when they moved boards. I just got sick of it. "Shadowblue" was never a first choice nickname. I was forced to change at R&R because my previous one was too long. I haven't changed it since, tho.

No. And all you have to do is move your mouse over the name (you don't even have to click) and the original name will show up below.
I don't think that many people have changed their names that many times either.

Yeah I learned that when you go over the name link, it's the original person.
It's the month of Halloween! Celebrate who you are!
Pieface! I am going to Howie's house now. Today we're not having tuna fish sandwiches, we're having peanut butter and jelly!! :)

Each time I'm proven wrong. Gotta love that.

But first, better keep your eye on Willa Jean so she doesn't break Uncle Hobart's accordion. Here, your eraser that Yard Ape took from you.

GUTS! Guts! I said a bad word. When Beezus Jesus told me I couldn't go over to your house, I called her a pepperoni face. She looked kind of sad. I just said pepperoni because we ate pizza last night.
I don't care about your rich Uncle Hobart. He is not very nice making fun of me. Mrs. Kemp makes me mad. She should be watching Willa Jean while I do my SSR. Mother does not pay her so I am to look after Willa Jean.
P.S. Your uncle better not marry my aunt. >:(

lol I don't have a problem with name changes.
I've only had geoxguy, Mayra's Papi, AV4Ever, Shutup50cent, and my original name, geoguy.
I forgot that I was geoguy instead of geoxguy on R&R, so that's why my real username is geoxguy.

Names changes can be very annoying, especially if that person changes his/her name daily or hourly or whatever... I mean, if you know that you are going to change your name, why don't you register with your "changed" name initially?
