SPB, my name isn't a mystery, but on the other hand, as at least one other Mudcatter with a long-time moniker learned when he tried to go to his "real name," no one knew who he was when he did it. So he went back to the moniker and just spelled it in a way that was more pronounceable. (Nod to Rapaire/Rapparee). I realized a long time ago that this is the first name most associated with me, and it has a family history. (In ~ 2017-18 when I was being stalked and I changed my moniker for a while - a long story! - there was confusion on the Mudcat site as to who was talking to people.)

This is different than the moving-target kind of name changes that also happen here, where over time the same person has had a half-dozen or more names. Those speak to me of someone uneasy in their own domain. An adjustment is something different, like making it a little easier to type or to have it now reflect some personal change or decision.

We always appreciate it when regular guests use the same guest name with each visit, it avoids confusion.
