Would people still recognize me if I changed my name? - Luca - Feb 21, 2020
So I'm thinking of changing my HF name but I'm scared of people not recognizing me. I would be keeping my sig, profile picture, banner etc. You think it would still cause confusion?

Probably not. I changed mine awhile ago and no one probably noticed.
Just stick with a name for a long time :P

Just change it under you pic just put ''previously known by'' and put your name or post that on every post until people know it's you
What name are you thinking of changing to ✌

A better question is do even you want to be recognized? Think of it as a reset for you to start fresh if you like.

Your name change would result in a complete meltdown in the HF ecosystem

Yeah, I thought about putting this name in my sig for a while. As for a new name, I'm not too sure. Most good names are already taken, I just want to change it from this because it doesn't mean literally anything, I came up with it when I was 8 🤣

Mr. James Bond, I'd definitely recommend changing the name.
You're not selling anything or offering a service, therefore you won't ruin your sales or anything by changing the name.

Yeah go for something without numbers looks better.

Probably something you shouldn't worry about because nobody will remember a week from now anyways ;)

RE: Would people still recognize me if I changed my name? - scam. - Feb 21, 2020
I changed my name for the sole purpose of people not recognising me but that ship has sailed.
Also I don't even look at the usernames of 90% of people so it's whatever
I recognise most people off their avatar and userbar

who are you bro
RE: Would people still recognize me if I changed my name? - Vitani - Feb 21, 2020
It really depends who you are and who knows you. Some people are recognisable by their signature/avatar/awards/other stats.

Probably not, no. Maybe from your avatar, not sure.
