Changing my name
« on: June 14, 2007, 19:39:10 pm »
When the new baby is born, I am going to have to change my name, as I am no longer going to be just TOM TOM's MUM.

When this time comes.  How do I go about changing my name?

Cheers
Paula

Ooooh exciting!!

Click on Profile, then Account related settings, then where it says username this will show as the name you are registered by.  This can be different from your screen name.  Underneath username it says 'name' which is your 'screen name' ie; the one which is displayed to everyone else.  You can change this to whatever you like (provided it is not already taken) as many times as you like.

I like your current name. I always think of a drum.
Can you incorporate it somehow - like Tom Bom's mum (OK so I can't imagine your next child will be called Bom but you get the idea :P)

Obviously you should completely ignore me but I like the wackier names.

Well - how about this then ladies.

We are 90% sure we are having a girl, and if it is a little her, then her name will be Abigail - so will have to think of incorporating it into my name - any suggestions.

TOM TOM and AB ABS Mum lol  :P

I don't know - any ideas greatly appreciated  :-*

I like that... although wouldn't it suggest that her name is Abi?

What about *PAULA* ?

I think it looks great :)

LOL Rina, that is too funny - PAT is my fathers name  :P

I like Abi Toms Mum too that has a nice ring to it.

Steffi - Going with *PAULA* does make a lot of sense - might be worth it.

Well DP is saying we need to consider other girls names too, so may have a few more to throw in the barrel.

Keep em coming.

"PAULA - Formerly TOM TOM'S MUM now MUM OF TOM AND ABI"

I like that idea, but it does sound very long.

Think I might just stick with Paula.

Ok, so if I change my name, will my BW e-mail address change or will it stay the same?

Also My mod title says Tom Tom's Mum, will this change, or will it stay the same?
