I like your user name, because it shows that you are someone Special, and someone who believes in themselves, and someone who is very caring, when I first joined and saw your user name, I was like, "That person seems like a pretty good person/friend" So thats why I ended up talking to you, if you did change your user name, would it be on the lines of something positive like the user name you have? You could also put in your signature formally known as IAmSpecial, just for the first few weeks while people adjust to your user name!! Do you have a user name in mind at the moment? 's
Anyway, we can't make the decision weather you wish to change your name or not, but just remember you will always be SPECIAL, don't forget that
Thanks for this!

Thank you **Angel** but im not special (aka my name was notspecial when i joined here) i do not believe in myself i changed it to this b/c others didnt like notspecial and i was given this name by a special person on here (toothlesslady) so i changed it and am learning to live with this name...its just this name i think really doesnt fit me. i really want my old name back but thats just taking steps backwards not forwards so im trying my best to think of a really good one or i am just going to keep it like it is....i dont want to confused people or upset them. i dont have one yet **Angel** not a good one anyway....s back!! you are special **Angel** not me sweetie....talk soon

Add a poll to this

Yes
No
Your choice
I don't know
Don't really care

That may work or just stick with YES or NO

Maybe we could also help you on choosing a new name as well!
Thanks for this!

How about Little Lamb? It's not a thousand miles from what your real name means, and it reminds me of your sweetness. I could give you versions of that in a few languages, if you liked.

But I think you're wonderful, special and sweet. Even if you change your name, I hope your choice reflects that. (((hug)))

Oh, but you are special!

I guess I always hope that every time you log in and see your name it gives you a boost towards believing it yourself.
You give so much to others here, and we do think you are very special.

No worries special. As long as you make sure to let me know your new name if you do change it.

iamspecial.... i feel that you want to change your username because you don't feel that it's "you". I think that for that reason, you "should" leave it the way it is because I think that you need to feel special (wouldn't it be great if all of us did?) and saying something or reading something can help us believe in it, so by keeping the username, you will be telling yourself, over and over, that you are special and you might end up believing in it.

Remember when you were a kid, how you probably thought you were special, had super powers or could see things that nobody else could? I think feeling special is going back to that amazing "can do" attitude. Keep it up!
Thanks for this!
Caretaker Leo, iamspecial

Unfortunately, this is wrong information, that is, unless it has changed since I was admin. As far as I know, members can request more than one name change. Of course, there may be times when the admin may deny a name change for specific reasons. Anyone is welcome to pm a mod/admin regarding a name change at any time.

My suggestion would be to think over the change for a bit longer. Since you are still unsure of wanting to change it and what to change it to, give yourself some time to mull it over.
Thanks for this!

Thank you GrayOwl.....and yes you are right i feel its not me and i deffo do not feel special and i cant believe i changed my name from notspecial to iamspecial....but i did and well i just feel its not right for me (even though people tell me it is) it would be great if we all did feel sepcial but when you are being crushed by people who you thought would care about you its very hard to believe. one day we shall see if i do but till then i really dont.

yeah i remember when i was little and being able to wake from the dead (mums and dads with being killed but rising again being stronger than ever), super powers and all the things children think and believe. Just thinking of them now is kinda making me wish i was there again....where i had the one person who looked after me and protected me from harm....being able to do anything without caring of what would happen...the imagination i had....i miss it.....a lot...you have me thinking of them now and how i felt (not felt this in ages, its kinda strainge) i will see. Thank you for your comment you really have go me thinking of them now special
