Niecho Vollmar Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Personally, I wouldn't change my name because it's who I am in SL; I tried Premium, and it wasn't at all worth it. But I found their contest selections disappointing as well. And I agree with one comment in particular: I don't think they read any of the actual entries if these "won". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were only allowed 3 per submission, but the submission form had a link at the bottom for you to do another submission. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delenara Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 I guess they don't really want people to change the name with these options. I will not be sending 40$, rather leave it as Resident Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully there will be less crazy options lol yes there should be there will probably be at least 200 Last Names to pick from in the list at any one time, maybe more. With fresh names added periodically. That's how it used to work when there were last names before back in the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anicha Heartsong Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Have to say, very disappointed with the choice of winners. Sour grapes on my part I know. But I won’t choose any of these. I want to choose my own last name, damn you LL. Maybe I entered too many times, but why no love for: Mirage Chimera Cinnabar Incognito (I mean, come on!)MacGuffinTelosian (a Star Trek reference) Tumbleweed Havana Kashmir CasablancaShaggybreeches Zarathustra Beelzebub Methuselah (a good one for us old-timers) And there were more, so many more. Now, I know they were never going to choose ‘PoutyMcPoutFace’ - but half of SL needs this name! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We apologize that it took so long to announce the winners - but we had an overwhelming response (over 2400 Residents responded)! It was such a great list of names to go through, that it took just a bit longer than anticipated to whittle it down. So, without further delay, I give you the first 8 (yes, 8. I couldn't narrow it down to just 5!) last names chosen for the list: ConundrumDismantledHuntsmanLittlepawsNovaRavenhurstWumpkinsYeetly The winners have been notified via email, so if you suggested one of those names, be on the lookout for an email from me. Why not provide the ability for people to create their own last names instead of choosing from a list? Wumkins and Yeetly. Seriously? I was going to change mine but after seeing this list...nah. Most people go by display names anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elena Blossom Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 I am definitely going for Littlepaws!!! Although the list seems a bit poor to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beth Macbain Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Some of y'all need this. Also, you absolutely can chose your own last name*! *For the bargain basement price of $1,000 the first year and $500 per year thereafter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anicha Heartsong Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 And another thing! What's this business about name changes being half the price if you become Premium Plus? That might be a good deal, but we don't know what Premium Plus will cost, or what else it will offer, or when it will launch, if ever. So do we hold off on the name changes? For how long? I guess I'll wait until a last name I really like shows up. Or just forget about the whole thing for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if it still possible but LL used to offer custom last names primarily for RL corporations they weren't intended for individuals and cost $500 to set up and $500 a year to maintain While the winning list is a little disappointing i do hope all other submissions get used as last names i'm sure there'd be something more to your taste if they did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I especially like Littlepaws, which should be popular with Tinies. Just a note on the posting though - it appears in Dark Mode as black text on charcoal, which is a bit hard to read. Hi Garnet! Sorry about that. For some reason the posted bolded all my text. Should be fixed now. 😃 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
