I am pretty sure your user name is the one thing you can't change....

You'd probably have to sign up for a new account.....

Stars don't really mean anything anyway. [swg]

Why change your name? All you need to do is travel 50 miles from where you live and nobody will have a clue who you are, then you can use whatever name appeals to you. And you can purchase a small box of little gold stars at most craft and novelty shops. Be sure and lick the stars before you place them on your forehead.

Duhhh, don't you have to go before a judge to change your name? Like from Herman Horsemanure to George Horsemanure -- know whut i mean, Vern.

Elias,

What's wrong with your "forum name"? It's catchy and easy to remember! I worked with a man named "Elias" at the transit authority and one of my favorite, well known Latin Jazz artists is "Eliane Elias" (cool and upbeat!). [:)][:D][8D]

Some members here have some complex names that whenever I type a response to them, I have to double-check the spelling!

I checked you profile just now. Can you go ahead and update your Profile in the Bio and Hobbies category? Would be helpful for responses. [;)][:D]

You've got a "cool" name. Post with pride, Amigo! [4:-)][tup][swg][tup]

God Bless and cheers!

I also believe that you can't change names, it appears to be a hard and fast rule. But just out of curiosity, what would you change it to?
I thought about Phil Gates, so I could try to confuse Microsoft (payback) and divert his paychecks here, but the risk to my life from disgruntled Windows owners( Version 26,000.2) just would'nt be worth it.[:D]

You can change your name but the stars won't follow. Besides you'll find after a while the stars don't matter.

The true measure of a MR forum member is the number of responses/useful replies/answers you solicit and provide.

Just my opinion anyway.
