    Obviously and ultimately, the choice is up to me, but it doesn't hurt to get opinions, does it? I feel like I created this before—the last time I did this—but searching leads me to nothing.

    To give some background information, at 12:47 AM on December 31, 2014, I requested a username change back to Amaury from Crash, and I was going to see how long I could go without changing my username again. However, I later ended up changing my mind and edited my post at 4:59 PM on January 15, 2015, and I requested a username change to Hanzo instead because I wanted to try and see if it would stick as a new default username. (Obviously, I like Amaury as it's my real first name, but I just wanted to try something different, and it seems not very many people use their real names on forums. The only exception I can think is XenForo Community, where many people use their real names, and some even use their last names.) At 9:11 AM on January 17, 2015, Misty fulfilled username change requests. At 4:03 PM on March 22, 2015, after much debate, I decided to request a username change back to Amaury. At 12:51 AM on March 31, 2015, Misty once again fulfilled username change requests. I had the username Hanzo for a total duration of 63 days, 15 hours, and 40 minutes, or two months and four days.

    Anyway, the question. I've been thinking about it again, and:
    • Should Amaury stay my default username forever?
    • Should I give Hanzo another try and see if it sticks?

    I will be going back to Amaury, however, for the user awards.

    Edit: Ah, here's a related thread: http://kh-vids.net/threads/trying-a-new-username.149318/

    Here's the thing;

    You're already known around here as Amaury. You've been here long enough that, even if you changed your official username to Hanzo, people would still refer to you as Amaury.

    On the subject of real names, I can't use my real name, as 'Gwen' has already been taken.

    Right. That would, of course, be fine. It would simply be more the display than anything.

    You're always going to be what people call you.

    Keep Amaury. Reason is simple. It's who you are. It's who you've been the whole time. When people talk about you, they say "Amaury did this" no matter what your current username is. Do you really want them to start saying "Hanzo did this" all of the time?

    Well, I mean, I would still be called Amaury, it would just be my display name that'd be different.

    People aren't calling me Mai now, are they? :cool:

    Correct. I think what people are debating is your use of the word default.

    Am I using the word wrong? By default, I mean just that, default. For example, even though I'm Mai right now, I'll go back to Amaury, and I always go back to Amaury when I'm other names. If I were to make Hanzo by default username, that would just make Hanzo the new "Amaury," if that makes sense. If I request a username change to CIG, when I go back to my roots, it would be Hanzo, not Amaury.

    If people would still call you Amaury, then you would be trying to change your roots. Suppose you stopped going to Amaury and kept going to Hanzo for years from now on. Anyone who met you now would call you Hanzo and everyone who knew you before would call you Amaury. It's not just confusing, it's a big change.
