Tolya Ugajin Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Tolya's name will never change, inworld or on the Forum. Oh, and if you ever play backgammon on an airplane's entertainment system and see "Tolya", that's me in RL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I picked Joseph originally because it is just an average name and Fibonacci because I am a math nerd. So going with a new name, stick with Joe. I looked through the list and saw Dallas. Yes! A good name for a Texan. Boom. Grabbed it and done. ... So why does the name sound familiar? Someone said something about it in world too ... so I Googled it up and ... ***** /headdesk So now ... do I: Live with it? Buy another name change? Become the most flaming drag queen in SL out of spite? "Kill" this account? Anyway, take this as a lesson, kids. 30 seconds of research can save your alts! You fell into one of the classic blunders! So did my hilariously funny friend, Trout Recreant. When he picked his last name, he thought it had something to do with vacations or recreation. Later, he looked it up and found that it's an old-fashioned word for "oath-breaker". He hated his name ever after. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I first created my name in 2008, I thought . . . choose something interesting, distinctive . . . with a different kind of "look" and a certain exoticism about it. Imagine my utter horror when, later, I googled "Scylla" and found images like this: More seriously . . . while part of me loves the idea of turning your avatar into a sort of running parody that mocks the actual "Joe Dallas," that would probably get boring pretty fast. Maybe just add a note to your profile explaining that you aren't homophobic, and that any resemblance to the real life guy is purely (and literally) accidental? Sort of the same way I use mine to insist that I'm not actually a sailor-devouring monstrosity of horror. Occasionally, someone even believes me. It always worries me that SEA MONSTERS (and Politicians) always have their mouths open... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think in this case I would contact support and tell them what happened, and that you didn't realize you had chosen the name of a truly vile human being and don't want people thinking you are in any way supportive of him and ask them to let you chose another name without having to pay the $40. They might say no but it doesn't hurt to ask. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't have some of the characters that I have in some old RL ones and it has that logo that only goes away with a paid account, but otherwise, looks very similar.
