I wish I could change my name in here I am a female

Hi Shaun, sorry to hear you were thought of as a male. Well, I know for that you're a female because of our previous discussions. I think those people who mistake you for that are new ones. I hope it doesn't bother you too much. I also want to change my name and use a psuedonym but it's already there.

I know that shaun! lol You know sometimes no matter what name you use people online cannot tell whether you are male or female - I have been mistaken for a man before and I am mummymo! lol xxxx

I know how you feel.I wish I could change my screen name on myLot also.I have ever since I joined.I did not know I was choosing my name for here when I did it.I do belong to one place that will let you change your name.

Your post kinda reminded me an email I once sent to my new boss the SVP for Finance. In the company where i used to work, we have this knack of calling each other our initials and BRB or Bars Te. I thought the Bars stands for Barbara. I sent an email welcoming him and telling him that we all look forward working under his team. To my embarrassment, he sent me an email that SHE is a HE and his name is not Barbara. LOL! My fellow accountants scattered all over the country was copied in that particular email and they had a field day laughing their heads off. Needless to say, some names are really misleading. LOL!

Hit here Shaun! I don't think you can change your username. Maybe you canc hange your avatar instead so they can see that you're a female.

Well thanks for setting the record straight. I'm not sure what I thought. Going by your avatar it is a little boy, and I would take a female would put a child as their avatar before a male.

Hi Shaun, At first I was really thinking you're a man and I remember I bump one of your response /post here, can't remember clearly what was it all about but, you mentioned you're a wife or my husband, something like that, and that day, I realized you're a woman...This is a good post,LOL, I know a lot here may think really that you are a man!

I will apologize also, because I thought you are a male. I am really sorry please forgive me. Its good that you put a your own photo and used it as your avatar. I think it will change from now on.

I am so sorry... but i have to admit that at first i thought you are indeed male because of your username... but when you responded to a certain discussion of mine... that was the only time that i realized thay you are female... good thing i did not address as male... i make that mistake a lot of times... i even thought that a friend is female but he is really male... Again... sorry...

OK! I already knew that! LOL! I know you're just talking to the people that did not know it. Honestly, I have no idea why someone would think you're a man. I think it's very obvious if a person would read your posts that you are a woman. I don't know why it's obvious. But, to me, it is. I can tell the difference. Maybe it's the things you discuss or how you discuss them. As a woman, I discuss things differently than a man, so I'm guessing other women do as well. I try to emphasize the point that I'm a woman when I'm posting, plus I make references to my kid and spouse, so people don't think that I'm in the market. Cause I'm not. I guess a person could misconstrue my posts to think I was a beautyqueen man. Anythings really possible if one tries. But, I guess it'd be odd if I were a man talking about pregnancy cravings and mood swings. So, there are little signs that point the way. I make it painfully obvious. Please tell me that someone notices that I'm a woman?!!! BTW, you have such a beautiful name. I will have to put that one on my baby name list for the next baby. I start early! I'm still in pre-planning stage. Don't tell my hubby!

hi my friend,it's hard to mistake you as a male since you put your photo as your avatar,didn't you? in fact,i never thought you are a man.maybe that's because i take the first sight at your avatar instead of others.

okey,you are a female. get your point.

Actually this happens to a lot of people. There name just come in the category of both male and female. But i think it is not a big problem because the people who know u, know who u are.
