I for one am confused by the names people on this site pick to speak to the world. If I could get a do over I would drop the 49 and add my last name. After all we are also trying to market ourselves right? If it was my site I would change the program so you have to add your real name its so hard to remember all these pen names. I say we take a vote and see if we can get Kyle to change it. What do you think? Like i said I would use my full name if I knew a few months ago what I know now. Alan49 is me in a way becuse thats how all of you know me but I would reather you knew me as Alan Cross. My rant for the day!

And here I was looking at all these nicknames and thinking I had done it all wrong. :)

Lol well as y ou can now see I have changed mine! You can only do it once ....so make sure!

My screen name Torabb Market is actually the brand I wish to promote. I think signing off with your real name does the trick. I always sign my first name with a post so if someone wants to respond they can use my real name. But Torabb is my LLC name and Torabb Market is the brand I am building.

Its in my profile and I sign all my posts with it. I wrote a blog early on about signing off with one's name. A good practice in business.

4 sure!

I just used my own name. Didn't think to do a special or pen name. Have you tried to change it? Alan Cross is a good name.

Yea!

Hi Mr. 49 :) i think you can change your user name once. Might be worth a try if you haven't already.

2

I will give it a try!

The names may drill deeper; perhaps ID purposes? Therefore only one can be "Cathy" and I had to be "CathyS". Not sure ... just guessin'. God Bless! ~Cathy

Hmmm not sure....

3

You can submit a support ticket to see if it can be changed.

Good idea!

I know what you mean, I wish I would have used my real name too.I heard you can change your name once, but you may want to double check with Kyle/Carson.

3

Thanks I am going to check into it.
