Serious question for the forum. Should I change my username?

[SKKY]

I began my time on DU as "ALiberalSailor", but changed it several years ago to "SKKY". Should I go back to my roots, or stick with what I have?

1. SKKY is unique and cool.

Stick with that name.

[SKKY]

3. Not gonna lie. That's the direction I'm leaning in. But, since DU is allowing...

...a username change, which they almost never do, it got me thinking.

12. +1 I like SKKY

[Takket]

2. SKKY sounds badass. I'd keep that!

[SKKY]

4. Well thank you! And SKKY does actually mean something...

...I guess I'm just feeling a bit nostalgic for the earlier days when I almost never ventured out of "The Lounge". Hell, back in those days, I was scared to even consider posting in DG. Now, I almost never post anywhere else.

14. If the name means something to you,

I'd keep it and it is rather distinctive and memorable.

6. I agree... To be honest, I understand changing a "Trump"-themed name, but otherwise,

I would think most would not want to change names. Keep yours.

5. No.

It’s the name of my favorite pup on “Paw Patrol”.

“This pup’s gotta fly”!

[SKKY]

10. Well there you go! Had to mention my kid's favorite cartoon.

I didn't even think about that. I guess that settles it then.

7. Vote SKKY. Easier to log in too.

8. If I were you, I'd keep it! It's way cool and immediately recognizable! ♥

11. Is 'SK' for the Navy rating storekeeper?

and is ‘KY’ for Kentucky? I’ve often wondered.

[SKKY]

15. It is not. I was a CT in the Navy. But, the KY is for Kentucky.

17. Did you go to CT school in Key West?

I went there for ST "A" school.

[SKKY]

18. No. The CT "A" School is at Corry Station in Pensacola. The only CTs that don't...

...go to Corry are the "I" Branchers. They go to DLI in Monterey, CA.

19. There was a CT school at Key West in 1973

I remember a kerfuffle involving a CT student who was arrested by local cops for running naked through the streets of Key West while having a bad acid trip.

[SKKY]

20. Ok. That is a bit before my time. I joined the Navy in '92.

But what you just described is what we as CTs would call a slow Tuesday.

[Hortensis]

13. I like SKKY. It has flair. A Liberal Sailor (think you can separate now--?)

says something meaningful about you, though, not inscrutable like SKKY. How important is that identity?

[jcgoldie]

16. I like it makes me think of vodka
