Dear supreme, magnanimous, handsome and sage leaders...

I know that this is probably not allowed, especially considering GB's stickied post up top. But for obvious reasons I would like it changed to: alexis's_shorts, or jugadorazo's_shorts, or sanchez's_shorts.

If this cannot be done for whatever reason would I be able to create a new account (with that username) and be promoted back into the mains? Or would I have to wait it out in the newbies?

Thanks for the help.

This is a legacy username, I don't approve of the change.

On a serious note who would be the best person to contact about a possible name change for a slightly legitimate reason? I've been planning to post in admin forum but expected to get my name changed to "whineycnutface" or something.

This is my fear, let's stick together in this.

Sorry cesc, but all name changes go through Phil.
I did actually have mine changed way back so I should be more supportive. Obviously wasn't feeling very creative at the time though.

Sanchez won't work. You have to pick a player who won't leave Arsenal at some point.

You need to wait for some caftard to do a charity fundraiser and then you might be in with a chance

Don't change your name, man. You are cesc's mullet! That Chelsea rat should change his!

I don't approve either. Sorry Cesc.

I dont like name changes for the sake of it, you lose your identity somewhat and i never know who i'm talking to anymore

thats the danger of naming yourself after a player

Bingo.

Sadly you won't be allowed to make a new account either.

Nowadays we only really change names if there's an issue like your username being your real full name and can identify you, etc.

Just PM me with what you'd like your name to be changed to.

Could a name change be bought I wonder? If a lad left a brown envelope with the price of a few pints somewhere in lets say Sligo or above in Dublin maybe?

A good way not lose the identity would be to have both the old and new names for a while before phasing out the old one. May not be feasible always though.
