My opinion on name changes
Burnt is right here, but of couse it's everyone's choice to make. I think @JacobArnold is a fucking stupid name. I can understand people fixing the capitilization or removing numbers from their name, that's fine…but I am always going to be MasterGberry and I ain't changing.

I changed my name because NiteRyder625 was the worst fucking name I could've picked. I picked Doe because it's short and I think it's funny lol. I can see what you're saying Burnt but it's the others choice. I honestly don't give a shit about a 6 year old who remembers me from 3 years ago. It's not like I'm changing my irl name to something else, it's just a game. Therefore, I like the name change

I changed my name because that was my name for years. I despised it, if you don't like it then you don't have to but it's my choice @cringiecake
Damn dude.

@BurntCactus I didn't like having my IRL name as my username, so I changed it to a name that references a band I like. I don't get why everyone hates it….
@MasterGberry :(

Because you have already made an image for yourself as JacobArnold, you cannot simply try to change your name -_-

Most people I've talked to wont have an issue identifying me if they knew me, but I can understand what you are saying.

I miss you, we never talk and I feel like you're a ghost. I remember those old skype calls at like 4 in the morning but for you it was noon. Good ol' days. Still have that fight with llynx5876 in my favorites. :)

Honestly, from the moment my former name was paid for I regretted it. I hated the name before I even had the account for a month. I'm actually decently happy with my new name at the moment.

All the new names are giving me a small headache *sigh*

I don't understand why it was they were necessary, but I won't hate on people's choices :)

It makes me cringe seeing people getting accounts like "Shower, Clock, Thing, Tampon" like how is that an IGN..that is just you simply making a fool out of yourself. I don't get why people need to make stupid account names like that, yea its funny to see that account but people aren't even doing it for them, they are doing it for attention and it is kinda sickening that people wanna be recognized like that.

1. Why did Microsoft not charge for them? They could of easily made some money if they charged $5 per name change, people would of paid for it too.

2. I think a lot of you will regret changing your name. Your IGN is what people recognize you by, and what makes you different from everyone else. Yeah that 2-3 letter name is cool looking, but now wtf are people going to call you by, or even recognize you anymore. You'll tell your immediate friends that you changed your account, but anyone else won't know it's you. Maybe you've had a bad reputation and wanna try to hide that under a new name, if that's the case I guess you made the right choice, but I feel a lot of you rushed into a name change that you'll regret very soon. I'll put it this way, I've been playing Minecraft since 2010 with the username BurntCactus, I have people from 3 years ago on small servers notice me on Badlion. If I were to change my name nobody would recognize me, none of my old acquaintances would know who I am. Maybe an IGN has bigger meaning to me then to you guys, but yeah that lowercase name of yours with an underscore might of been ugly, but it has characteristic, and in at least my case sentimental value.

In short, you guys should of kept your names, because now we gotta call you by a 3 letter word that's similar to 50043850348 other people instead of your unique name.
I was inspired to make this post because of @XEW ;-; y u gotta do dat

2. Yeah I try to explain that to people but I can't. I don't like the Sean in my name, but it's what people know me as.
