I've wanted my name to be changed for a long time. The one I started with was actually based on a fusion of my then girlfriend's info and a facebook friend. Now that she and I are not together, it only reminds me of the past in a bad way. I'd rather be named after one of the zillion stars out there like "Aldebaran."
I've "been told" that the only way to get your name changed is to start over with a new identity, but what is the point of having perl gods if they can't pull off something like this? Why wouldn't the gods like me well enough to give me a name I'm comfortable with? I play by the rules around here, and say "please" and "thank you."
