I'm not exactly sure what I would change it to yet but I knew right away that I didn't make a smart choice

I wanted "crazyparrotlady" cause it sounds less menacing but it was already taken and I was a rush to post my first post.

:batonthehead:

If I came up with a better name would it be possible to change it somehow?

Yes, I feel the same way.

I use this username on a fish forum but here people think I'm a bad parrot hoarder or reseller of birds :huh:

LOL I know you are not a bird flipper but whenever I see Flipper that is the first thing that comes to mind. At one time it used to make me think of a famous dolphin but not any more.

Ummmm! That's where it came from. My first and favorite fancy goldfish was named Flipper, like the dolphin :)

I always thought the name Flipper was cute. I never connected it to a bird flipper.
Same here actually! I always think of the dolphin that was mentioned above when I see her username. :D

It would be awfully brash to go by "Flipper" and mean Bird-flipper here on AA. I always associated it with a happy feeling... Maybe because I loved Flipper reruns growing up!

On the topic of the OP... You may remember that I used to be Mmmmq here on the forum. It was a throw-away username because I had no idea I would actually love this place. :) It's nice to be called by my actual name instead of a mumbly/unpronounceable sound.

I've thought of changing mine too. I suck at coming up with usernames. I was trying to think of one from another site and they had a little icon at the bottom of the screen where all the copyright stuff goes. I literally just took mine from there. :facepalm: image.jpeg

You don't like your name anymore? Personally, I thought it was a great name too.
One can go nuts second guessing choices and decisions. :)

Does admin have to change it? Or is there a way to change it ourselves? I wish to change mine :)
Yes, an administrator must change it. You can PM myself, Sarah (macawnutz), or any other administrator.
