 * Reason: If its my name its a lot easier to remember. Sausageracer 10:27, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

DLX → Sander Säde

 * Current name:
 * Requested name: ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: When I created a user, I didn't think I will come as active as I have and chose pretty much random username. Now I would like to use my own name as username, since I don't want to be anonymous here. Also, as I recently found out, DLX is also a gene and microprocessor archidecture, I am unsure of copyright issues regarding those - so changing username would be good in any case.

Mortsggah → Mikael Häggström

 * Current name:
 * Requested name: ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: Mortsggah sounds bad, almost like an orch. Judge yourselves if Mikael Häggström sounds better, but at least it is my real name. I see no reason to edit under a pseudonym. In contrast, I want Wikipedians to see who really made the changes. An alias might change throughout lifetime, but the real name is often constant. I'm aware of, however, that my surname can be a little tricky to type in on any non-Scandinavian keyboard. Nevertheless, it simply wouldn't be me if it was spelled otherwise. In short, please, let me edit as the person I really am. Mikael Häggström 13:07, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

 * If this post is your only edit, I don't see why you can't create a new account. Sr13 05:34, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Current name:
 * Requested name: ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: My username Mortsggah is finally changed to my real name, Mikael Häggström. Therefore, I'd like my alternative account to change name too. If you want to know what the purpose of the account is, feel free to click on it. I also feel it is appropriate to have the name of that account made a little bit longer, by two reasons. First, it expresses better what it is all about. Second, it prevents users from ending up on it by mistake.

 * Thanks, but question: When my name got changed, I suddenly got signed out, and my contributions have not been updated to my new name. Is this normal? Tiger white 00:36, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Firstly, being logged out is a normal process as your browser's cookies are wanting to log into Springbob Squirepants, your old username, and as it is no longer a username, it is being rejected by the login page. Therefore, you have to re-login to update the cookies. Secondly, the contributions appear to be there, you might not be seeing them yourself.

Walton_monarchist89 → Walton One

 * Current name:
 * Requested name: ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: I would prefer my username to be User:Walton, but that account was registered in early 2006 and isn't usurpable. Since I sign myself as Walton and am usually addressed as such, I'd rather have a username that is closer to what I use in practice. The "monarchist" bit also has POV overtones which were fine for when I was a new user, but aren't totally appropriate for an admin. Waltontalk 13:21, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

RITZ → Emery

 * Current name:
 * Requested name: ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: "Emery" is my real-life name and I stopped using the pseudonym "RITZ" a long time ago. It seems that "Emery" is taken by someone who never used the account. I know the article says the name must not be taken, but can't this exception be allowed? If not, I would accept "EmeryD" as a suitable alternative. Thank you RITZ 08:21, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Oh, I'm sorry, my mistake... that guy has lots of contributions. Good thing you didn't take my word for it. Yes, please change my name to EmeryD. I will just use Emery in my signature and I'll make it a point to differentiate the two of us. Perhaps Emery#2 and I will even become friends, and will start a band named Emery.

I am also a professional in psychological test publication and have begun to notice some articles that need help (see WAIS, not published by me, but still deserves better) and think it would be better if it my name weren’t so public/prevalent if I contribute there.

VshBot → O (bot)

 * Current name:
 * Requested name: ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: (this is my bot) To have some resemblance to my [now] changed username. ( [ →]O - RLY?) 00:32, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't know if "O (bot)" is a good username. It seems confusing to me, as though disambiguating. How about Obot or O's bot or something? Andre (talk) 00:36, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Your suggestions, I'm sorry to say, don't really have the effect. User:Gnome (Bot) does the same thing. ( [ →]O - RLY?) 00:41, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
 * But there's no User:Gnome. Andre (talk) 00:44, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Right, but do either of these usernames violate the policy? ( [ →]O - RLY?) 00:47, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
 * The name reads to me as if user O is a bot, which isn't right? &mdash; Carl (CBM · talk) 00:51, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I think it's confusing because this is "User:O" running a bot he wants to call "User:O (bot)." As far as policy, it may fall under "Usernames that closely resemble the name of another Wikipedia user and may cause confusion." Andre (talk) 00:53, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
 * O is me. Though it might have a disambiguating effect on it, Gnome (Bot), when the initial BRFA was in discussion, had no objections about the username from the BAG.  Though every case is different, the user Gnome was registered, with 0 edits.  I do, however, believe that a broader input is needed due to the [possible] controversy over this rename. ( [ →]O - RLY?) 01:03, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I think a name like "OBot" would be a lot more conventional. The name "O (bot)" suggests "a user named O, which just to clarify, is a bot". This could lead to confusion with the other user named O, who is you. But it's not a huge deal. Dcoetzee 20:59, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking. If nobody really thinks it's a big deal I'll do it anyway. Andre (talk) 21:01, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Joehachem → Bogdan985

 * Current name:
 * Requested name: ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: Misleading usernames that imply relevant, misleading things about the user. Joehachem 13:12, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
 * It's really not clear what you mean. Can you explain a bit more? --Deskana (talk) 13:19, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Changed as you requested (not renamed as I'm not a bureaucrat just changed the request). Rlest 14:32, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Reason: Right to vanish. ZephyrAlfredo 19:15, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
 * It's unclear exactly why you feel the wish to vanish. Can you explain, please? --Deskana (talk) 19:23, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I realize I have hardly any edits, but this nick has become extensively linked with my real name outside of Wikipedia. ZephyrAlfredo 19:26, 19 July 2007 (UTC) 19:25, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Might have been an idea if you had disclosed to the current crats that this request had been declined previously on 2 occasions:,. Not doing so seems a little dishonest. WjBscribe 01:35, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I never thought I had to. I thought that maybe the same people from last time would have overlooked the previous two attempts and changed it due to moderate good behaviour, around 95 percent good-excellent and 5 percent, lets moderatly uncivil, but not so bad that I would recieve a warning. Adam.J.W.C.

Magnus (userspace) → Animum's Electric Pajamas

Cbrockefella → CbRockefella

 * Current name:
 * Requested name: ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: mistype during account creation. Cbrockefella 21:58, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
 * It is probably better to create a new account, and then redirect the old userpage(s) to your new name, if there will be content in your new userpage. ( [ →]O - RLY?) 22:06, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
 * No it isn't. The account creation software wouldn't allow that name to be created - too similar to an existing user. Renaming is the best option. WjBscribe 22:07, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
 * ✅ -- Andre (talk) 22:17, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Bmyersinc → Blueberryman

 * Current name:
 * Requested name: ( [ rename user ])
 * Reason: Created my first account a few days ago and used a name that may be in violation because it loosely refers to a company that I created a page for. I chose the name as a tribute only and didn't realize (a) references to companies or promotions is frowned upon and (b) it may affect credibility pertaining to editing. I joined this commnity in good faith, create content in good faith and would rather fix the issue early than upset other members. The name Blueberryman is about as nuetral a username as I can imagine. As a new user, I welcome feedback or further instruction Bmyersinc 23:06, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
