“What's in a name? That which we call a rose/By any other word would smell as sweet” Shakespeare
Do you be leave a name is what Shakespeare is saying here just a name. It doesn't carry any great significance in who we are. That if someone changes names it doesn't really matter they are the same person.
or
“Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose“ Gertrude Stein
Do you be leave a name is what Gertrude Stein is saying here invokes strong feeling and images. A name is a important thing that carries a weight with it. If we change our name somehow we change who we are.
OK I know by now you are all sitting there scratching your heads think what is he talking about. I know the topic of the names we use at Pixies has come up a few times before. We've had a few members who have changed names in the past. What are your feeling on this.
Dose them changing their name change who they are?
Dose it just cause confusion if someone changes their name?
Do you feel that if someone wants they should be able?
OK I know you are still sitting there say what the heck is he rambling on about. Earlier we were discussing this in chat. One person who wants to change their name here at Pixies. Because the feel they have changed in the past almost 5 years. The name they signed up with doesn't reflect who they are any more. The name they had signed up with was one they had been using other place when the were 13. They feel they have matured and the name they are using doesn't really fit them any more. The other person was saying that they shouldn't change their name. The name they used here at Pixies was who they are(at Least at Pixies). It would just confuse everyone and people wouldn't know who they were any more if they changed it. Changing a name was just a frivolous whim.
OK I know you are all sitting there wondering is there a point to all this. My question to you wise people at Pixies is. Should this person be able to change their name or do you think they shouldn't change it?
P.S. I'm not going to reveal who wants to change their name or who is so strongly against it. They'll either reveal themselves or it will be up to you to figure it out.

My thoughts on this is they hsould be able to change their name if they want. I know this person well enough to know it not just a whim. Knowing that Lilith has siad she will or can only change a name once. That if they feel like having thier name changed here it up to them. it may cause a little confusion at first and will take a little getting used to the new name. But I be leave most Pixes are inteligent enough that it won't take them long to get used to the new name. Thye will be the same sexy and inteligent person we grown to know just with a diferent name is all.

Name change is up to the individual, but it may just need time for people to get used to the new nick.
Lou?

Booger,
Other Pixies have changed their names. Why not this one?

sure, why not change their name if that's what they want? all they have to do is re-join under their new name and start a thread that says, hi...i used to be memebr x, but now this is my new nic.
i'm confused ... not sure i see the problem. why does lil have to do it?

Wyndhy Lilith can change it so all the post they had before will have the new name on them. insted of having post under 2 names it would just be under the new name.
