A Rose By Any Other Name Would Still Be Me

[jackofallgeeks]

So I've been thinking for a long while that Rolias Noom needs to retire. He started out as an alias for gaming with my brothers, then grew into a semi-developed character concept while I role-played in AOL's Red Dragon Inn, durring it's twilight years. From there he became a more-developed character for a story I wanted to tell, and eventually he became me. I've been Roliasnoom for years now, but...

-shrugs- It's almost like I've grown out of it. I kind of want to, I don't know, have a change or something. Not that I have anything against RoliasNoom, it just feels... 'childish' isn't the right word. But he feels like he's from another chapter in my life which is coming to a close, if not already a few pages back.

Anyways, I have my own preferences in the following list, but I want your opinions. Assuming I do change my digital persona, I may go about getting this Journal renamed -- they can do that I hear, though there may be a charge... anyways...

I've been using the same screen name since I first signed on to AOL about 11 years ago (wow, I feel old now), and I've never really even considered changing it.

Why do you find this one name so associated with a chapter of your history? Did the name not grow with you?
