I dislike mine as I feel it makes me sound severe.

I tagged the "girl" on to my Charley to make 100% certain that everybody knew I was female. I took the name of my last male cat, spelling et al.

Yes, I saw that some thought you were a man Davida before now ( although I knew you were not, having read your early posts.)
Changed my name just once, due to info I had posted and the revelation that our posts were being looked at and commented on just about everywhere, made me more circumspect about what I write.
I agree with charleygirl that the added on ‘a’ is not all that noticeable.

Davida I did think you were a man a while ago until you mentioned that you were female. To be honest, I was looking for a totally different name and barely noticed the "a"tagged on the end.

Yes I changed mine Davida I thought my previous user name would identify me too easily. Think I jumped out of the frying pan into the fire though. Not much imagination unlike some other Gransnetters who have really clever names.

Has anyone else changed their username on Gransnet? And if so, why? (I am The Grandma Previously Known As David1968 and I've changed it, because I was concerned that I might appear to be a Grandpa.) How is everyone else getting on with their chosen user name? Are you happy with it? Or any regrets? Have you made changes? I'm wondering if it's just me.....
