This may sound strange, but I'm tossing up whether or not to re~register on Blogcatalog because janeycatte is an old nickname & I don't use it anywhere else much now.

I usually sign comments at other people's blogs as "Jane @ Kidzarama", because there are so many Jane's out there and it helps me stand out.

I've only become really active on here in the last couple of weeks and I know that if I'm going to make the change, then I need to do it now, before I build up too much of a network with this username.

What does everyone else think?

Has anyone else done this, or thought about it?

    I have never seen you before...

    It is your reputatiuon we care about not the name you use...

    Just look at Shiley err Shirley

    You're probably right on the timing thing.

    But am I to understand that you are changing you name from janeycatte to just plain jane?

    It would help if we knew what the other choices were.
    1. janeycatte
      lol... can't stand 'plain jane'

      I was thinking of something like Jane_at_Kidzarama.

      The idea of changing seems pretty lame I guess.
      It's just that so is 'janeycatte'.

      I like Jane of the Jungle
      But those wild women are a personal thing...

      No No No - this is not the "your pron name" thread

      I paid £45 to change my surname to Jaine last year, and now I hear it's plain. Sheesh.

    My mom's name is Jane and she likes shirtless Tarzans too. My mom hates her nickname "Patty Jane."

      I had a teacher in the first year of high school who used to pretend he was swinging on a vine through the classroom and boom "you jane, me tarzan".

      Believe me, it was NOT fun at the time
    2. Shiley
      My mom still hates it. I like picking on her.
    3. janeycatte
      You terrible daughter! ~I bet you did it on mother's day, too!

      When we ask Mr Bump, who's 4, what my name is he says "Janeycat".
    4. Shiley
      No, because my mom had me when she was 15 we have a close relationship. We're like friends. She usually attacks me with tickling.
    5. janeycatte
      Sounds like a lovely relationship. You're both really lucky

    Why not see if BlogCatalog will change it for you?
    1. Shiley
      They can do that. That's what they told me to do I said Shiley was funny I'll just keep it.
    2. janeycatte
      Would they do that?

      Hmmmmm....
    3. Shiley
      Yes, just hunt one down leave a message in the shoutbox.
    4. janeycatte
      Thanks, Shiley (er, Shirley)

      The worst they can do is say no!

    I actually just requested a name change (I mistyped my first one) , I'm hoping my existing contacts will transfer over. Seems to me that u should consider the long term and go for it.
  11. Nomadic
    Hey - I managed to do it! I changed my name AND profile picture!
    Love Benny x

      And the clever thing is the former Nomadic has become the artist formerly known as Benny. It's genius!
