You know, I didn't even know that was a washing machine company until after I got here. Plato's father? Sure. A strangely common name for small Italian hotels? Ditto. Something that clean? Woulda disowned it.

So do I.
I don't like it if I don't know who they were before but as long as there's a signature or a post on one of the two threads indicating the change I don't mind.

Ariston, here is a list of names that do not imply an unreasonable standard of hygiene. Personally, I quite like Grock or Popov.

I rather enjoy a good Ship Shaking now and then myself. But I admit I am more of a watcher than a participator. Even in name changes, although I thought my name sort of silly at first, I grew into it, and now I use it all over the internet. If you run into another CuppaT, it's quite possibly me.

I no longer have an underscore. It probably doesn't warrant an announcement. Was
considered using a capital letter somewhere, but i feel I don't warrant one. Probably this post is also not warranted.

A minor little change that most people won't even notice, but since my divorce is now final I dropped my ex husband's initial from my name. The timing of the name change amnesty was too perfect to resist.

I like knowing why people have chosen their names and if they've changed them why. Is there such a thread somewhere?

I imagine there have been several.
No harm in starting another though - for relative newbies. Maybe it would be a good time after the recent name changes?
