Do you wish you had picked a different user name here at myLot?  

i find this funny too as people always assume i am male, i dont know whether this is due to my username or my avatar or maybe both???
i dont wish i had picked a different username tho as mine is my childrens names and i wouldnt change it for anybody x

Oddly enough, I've never had a problem with my user name. I guess since that It has the word 'rose' in it, they can guess that I'm female. Plus, since my heritage is about 90% Irish, and I'm very proud of it, I had to throw that in. So no, I don't wish I had picked a different name. In fact, I think I choice the right one!

Hi there rocketj1

That's funny because from day one I kinda assumed you were female. If I am not sure though I will always click on someone's name to check on their profile if they are male or female so that I give them the respect they deserve and so that I don't make a fool of myself! I think I have been mistaken as a male a couple of times but laugh because I think that they could alwyas check! I like my mylot nickname and wouldn't want to change it even if I could!

i actually hope that mine seems somewhat ambiguous - we really should not assume that because a certain group of letters looks like a certain word, that it is - i used to use one with a mis-spelling of feather - pheather
and when some guy thought he was so smart, and said - heather will you go for a drink with me - i booted him - THE NOIVE!

I like my user name. It is actually the title of a song I wrote. Hope to record in the next 6 months in a studio in Nashville TN. There is quite a bit of meaning behind it. I don't think I would change my name if I had the chance.

I like my username carebears and I don't care if people assume certain things about me because of my username. People probably assume that I like the carebears and that I am a carebear fan from my username. I don't care because I am proud to be a carebear fan. I know a lot of people online that are in their 20-30's that love the carebears so I don't feel that I am too old to be a carebear fan.

My MyLot user name is my Amateur (HAM) radio call sign. VE is a designator for Canada Eh? 3 is for Ontario and IYB is my designator. I don't have problems with my user name other than people wondering what the heck it is. Do people assume certain things about me? I guess they think that I must be one of those computer geeks who also plays with radios. That would be my guess as I can't tell.

Yes, I wish just the same. I am uncomfortable when some users are mistyping my name. When I registered here, I was not really aware that the username will be used all the time. I thought it will be just a private thing and will not be displayed to others. It was too late when I learned that it will serve as my identification to other users. Now, so many are either typing it Salenga, Salango, Salanga. (ha!ha!ha!) If possible I will change it into a shorter one.

Yup.. I wished my username is shorter... I hate long usernames. I thought I could change this... They should have an option where you can change your display name or something... Sad...
