"Tho' if we get to know each other under one, then change to another...we don't necessarily know each other anymore."
What upsets me about the secret name changes (secret in that we don't know their previous name) is not that WE don't know each other anymore.. its that *I* don't know them anymore, but they know everything they always have done about me.
It makes me very uncomfortable, and I truly don't like it. If I were to change my name (which I've been thinking of doing, just cos I'm boreed!), I would make sure everyone knew who I was, else it would feel, to me, like I was trying to cheat them in some way.. So if you see a Mrs Frisby, thats me *laughing* No.. I won't change my name.. but you get what I am talking about!!
