Am I allowed to alter my name?

I've been on here a while, and well - let's just say I think I've grown out of the version of my YWS alias a little... I'm seventeen, so the "rulz" thing is a little behind me

Am I allowed to alter it?

I think so...

Of course you are!

If you'd like to change your username, PM one of the admins (the guys with red usernames) and ask them to change it.

aah great thanks just need to come up with a witty alternative, that is simultaneously awesome and intelligent... hmmmmmmmmm

Haha, good luck!

I think just 'Cotton' would be witty and clever, in a hipster sort of way. :p

hmmm interesting... I was also thinking LilliePad, because Lillie's my name xD although seeing it, it's maybe not so great... jasmine, I think you're onto something

OK I've just come up with these possibilities: Cotton, as jasmine so wonderfully suggested, or how about, almost the same as it is now - TheCottonRule or just CottonRule ... the rule being, that... that... something

ooh ooh, or MsCotton, or Cotton'sParrot, like from Pirates of the Caribbean

oorrrr... CottonBMus, because BMus is hopefully *crosses fingers and squees* the music degree I'll get if I study music at uni... or HRHCotton - Her Royal Highness.. or even HMSCotton

and I just remember something I thought of last night: 100%Cotton... or does that look too messy?

One thing to keep in mind about special characters is they can make it difficult for the system— the final bugs to be cleared are usually associated with special symbols in usernames.

aah ok, well that's decided then, definitely not xD thanks, Rosey

Cottonball.

... is there a YWSer with a name anything to do with frogs? because I really love them - honestly, it's insane, actually; loads come to our pond to breed in the spring and there is this horrible, nasty cat that kills them and leaves them on the lawn, and I swear, if I ever caught it and had it in my hands, I would not be responsible for my actions - and something simple like "Frog" would be quite cool... any thoughts? you guys are all so nice, helping me out with my relatively unimportant dilemma xD

I am not sure if anybody has a name that has to do with frogs. The best thing to do is come up with a few possibilities in order that you want them, then go through the list if need be.

done and dusted - thank you all for your wonderful help for this trivial yet still somehow confusing (at least to me... I have decision fatigue xD) topic. it has been very much appreciated
