I did! I think I'm crazy but I was so happy to find that the name I really wanted all along was actually available, and I didn't want to risk leaving it too late and losing my chance. Expensive, but for me, worth every penny.
Exactly this. I've gotten very attached to a particular name, and I wanted that name. The last name is less important to me, although I do like the idea of having one. When I had my first SL account, I always enjoyed running into another Greenwood.

Well I bit the bullet and got a last name. For me it was not so much an issue of wanting a last name, but more of getting the first name that I want and not having to put numbers or special characters in the name. Now I have that and my big fear is that a last name will come available that I really love and I will crave to spend another $12 usd for a month of premium with another $40 usd on top just to get a "perfect" name, because none of the initial batch of last names were great.

With BOM avatars now we can use system layer skins again. What is a good place to find a variety good system layer skins?

Hi!
I have A LOGO Bento head (Mae) with a BOM applier on it. I keep running into a problem where an Alpha band appears right above the neck seam. I can solve it by resetting all the layers, but it reappears anytime I take the head off and put it on again. It's really annoying. Is there a permanent solution for this? I asked on the LOGO chat channel but I didn't get an answer. If it makes a difference, I'm using an ABAR eBody classic 8.6, also with a BOM applier. -

Well, I use eBody, but it's bake on mesh, so ideally I don't need appliers, and I want to use the system clothing for this. The problem with mesh is that it has to be exactly exactly the right size so that it covers my feet but does not clip through my shoes. So, system socks would be best.

I asked the same question a couple of days ago, and this is the best answer I got:

Thank you!

I hope this is the right place for this question, but what is the latest news on the username change feature. I know it will mean subscribing to a premium account and paying $40 on top of that, but are there any details about when it will be implemented, or what the first crop of available names will be? That last I saw was "February 2020".

Pussycat Catnap, thank you for that excellent blog post!

I'm also open to the idea that it's just always okay! The fact that SL lets you explore different ways of being is a big draw! But, like I said, I'm curious about people's thoughts.

I think it's something a lot of people might take very seriously, so I was curious about people's thoughts on it. I can easily see how people might view it as a controversial thing to do. Saul Goodie brought up a good point that as long as you aren't caricaturizing or stereotyping, it might be okay, but the "black bull" is definitely a stereotype that many people find offensive. The fact that the race-bending is hidden--no one knows who is at the keyboard seems to take the sting out of it, but does that really make it okay, or does it just make it easier to get away with?

This may be a sensitive topic, but I am curious about the etiquette surrounding race-bending in SL. If I am white, and I make a black avatar, is that like blackface?

I did, obviously looking at my name. I did have a legacy account (Greenwood), which I abandoned and is no longer accessible to me. I paid to update the name for this alt because I wanted my name, Hippolyta, and because I like the idea of having a last name. It was important enough to me to pay the fee.
