I wish I could just change my name.

Kazuko · June 2011

I own Purty Poms Kennels (playername Pomlover) and you don't know how SICK I am for being mistaken as poppomgirl. I'm tired of it. I have nothing much against her, but I am NOT her. I am not selling you my dogs because you're her friend. I'm not selling my kennel to you because she offered to sell you a kennel. I am not paying you back for something she did or did not do. I am not her. I just want to change my Player Name. It'd be fine if I only got mistaken once a month or so, but it's a weekly occurrence that SOMEone messages me a question meant for her, or a comment meant for her. It doesn't sound like a big deal, but it's bloody well ANNOYING. And I want it to stop. Now. *pouts*

Poor Kyt! I thought you were her at one point too. I was like "why is she bidding on my dog..

" but no it was you! D=

See? It happens a lot. *whine* It makes me sad. ;-; I know it's an honest mistake, but the least someone could do is double check before sending me a message from the middle of their conversation with her. ;-;

I read that if your kennel has a breed name in it, and you change your breed, they can change your kennel name for you? It can't hurt to ask.

Kazuko · June 2011

I think they said the exact opposite, that names can't be changed because of something so small.

Frostbight8 · June 2011

*Guilty* But I caught myself before I sent the message! Anyway, I'm pretty sure you can't change your kennel/username unless there is a misspelling in it. I know I had my kennel changed from "German Sheperd Kennels" to "German Shepherd Kennels". The Op even offered to change my user, but that was on purpose. :roll:

Frostbight8 · June 2011

Gah, I hate how you can't edit. I meant to say my username is spelled wrong on purpose, then this dude -->

not :roll:

FlyTM · June 2011

Haha be nice to get one change or something on Sponsors Kennels, I am sick of the kid names on two of my kennels, it is silly it really is, to move over 1k dogs to a new kennel because they wont let us do it ;F.

HuntersGATHERING · June 2011

Uh, I hate my kennel/player name also. It's so kiddish, I wish they let you change your kennel/player name at least once. Lol, I was wondering who that was screaming on the kennel page that they weren't pompomgirl

Actually they can be changed if they have a breed name in them.. You will be asked to pick something with no breed name in it :P

EmmeZoec · August 2011

Did you use an op when you bought the kennel? If you did you can change it

Mileysmybaby · August 2011

*guilty* I pmed you one time asking if you were her XD

Hopefully, with the new version of VP, periodic name changes might be allowed on kennels since all kennels will have to be associated with a main account and the ability of a scammer being able to hide will be reduced to almost nothing. And yes, if your kennel is based on a particular breed of dog, the name can be changed to remove the dog breed.

I hope thats happens, as even I said that to one of the Ops in a pm at one point they should allow it because kennels will be linked to one account.

TuffGirl · August 2011

Hope I this happens too. TuffGirl isn't the most desirable name anymore haha.

Baseballboi355 · August 2011

I hope so too! I think we all have shed our noob names haha. I mean come on, my player name is brutis #1 and my kennel name is brutis. Thats awful! When I started I just named my everything after my dog haha, now I look back like "wow, I was a NOOB"

Finster2 · August 2011

I have been wanting to change my first kennel's names since the day I found out that finster2 was not suitable as a player name and finleym12 as kennel name? Too embarrassing. Even I laugh when I see the names.. That's why I have the made up kennel name BelHaven Kennels. 0_0

Aliemac · August 2011

ya i would change mine Mac cat's Shelter owned by mac cat...

EmmeZoec · August 2011

HEY! I like my newbe keenl name

<

Kazuko · August 2011

I'm not (er.. wasn't.) talking about newbie names and whatnot. Those you get to stick with, no sympathy here. xD It was just annoying to be so similar to someone else. I didn't mind being Pomlover, I minded being mistaken for Poppomgirl xD

EmmeZoec · August 2011

I think that newbie names were brought up because of all the people wanting to change their name. Here is the from topic about name changes <a href="http://virtualpups.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=51655"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">viewtopic.php?f=25&t=51655</a>

Howdy, Stranger!

I wish I could just change my name.
