I was really excited to read this exciting news



I only saw this today and I am absolutely happy with this idea. So many people can now just keep their accounts and simply change their usernames. AWESOMENESS!!!

I am keeping my username! I've had it since the beginning of my Internet days and fortunately, I chose one that suits me to perfection and, that also works professionally. I even get people calling me KJ in real life which is quite funny. Oh and Pieter's grandma has called me Kirsten by accident many times.

For those that don't know, Kirsten or better: Kjerstin, is the Norwegian form of Christina [Wikipedia]. I added 'h' to kjerstin because of my real name Christina having a h. The 'h' is what sets my name apart from Cristina, which I am not too fond of!
For those of you who still do not know how to pronounce Kjherstin, it's simple; you can pronounce it 'kur-stuhn' or 'keer-stuhn'.

If some of you are worrying about your friends changing names and being confused in the process, then don't worry! It shouldn't confuse you because all the changes will appear in your message centre under 'Stack Activities'. Thanks deviantART! Maybe I can convince my fiancéé to change his.

So anybody still thinking about changing Usernames or needs inspiration for a new one? Let me know I'd love to hear your ideas.

Have a great day!
Christina
