Think of a name change as having your friends just meeting someone new who's not new at all. Kind of like my son. He introduces himself as a nickname (which I hate). Now when the family gets together, the younger set calls him by his nickname and the older ones by his given name. When he's with people who don't know this it's a bit confusing at first, but then everyone gets used to it.

It's no big deal for you to worry about. Your friends will pick up on it soon enough. You will of course need to introduce yourself and perhaps put a link on the game name for a little bit. Something like Amia was Suhonenm. After a while you can easily drop all but Amia.

Once you choose a more unique photo then that will help "put a face with the name" and also help people know who is who. This is one big reason I don't keep and use an avatar for very long. It's fun to achieve them, but when everyone "looks" like everyone else it gets a bit tough to keep things straight. At least for me since I don't always look at the name as I am scrolling during zapping times. I just move from one to the next and if there are two people with the same "face" I often find that I repeat the effort and waste a bit of time.

I am glad that you finally contacted me about your new game and I am glad that we are all set. I sent you some girlfriends to help you get ready for your next 100 (congrats by the way). I also noticed that you seem to have picked up on TT quite well and I thank you for your generosity. I still haven't bothered to find out about it and while I am working I don't have the time to add yet another aspect of game play to my routine. Gifting, zapping and playing are quite enough to keep me busy.

Sorry for the lengthy response. I am about off to bed myself. Perhaps we will "chat" tomorrow. Take care and sweet dreams Melissa/Lissa/Amia....
