When I chose to be Serenitree, I searched the Internet for others who had the same name. The closest I found was SerenityTree, so I used Serenitree, because it was uncommon. It was a name given, or at least, suggested by a very good friend on EP, who seems to have departed for parts unknown. She, had chosen ignoranttroll as a name, which was the exact opposite of what she was. She was a bright woman with no trolling in her.

In the last few years, I have noticed there are several other Serenitrees, still not a lot, but a few, mostly companies offering things like aroma therapy, or massage therapy, or meditation. It really is a good name for that kind of service. It implies peace and tranquility and strength; all good qualities.

Before Serenitree, I had a few different names, trying to find a good fit for who I was at any given time, and which site I was joining. Some of these names may still be sitting, inactive, on some sites which don't let you delete your account.

I've been, GrantMePeace, YamWaddaYam, KnowFoolin, WaddaYaKnow, DragonBlue, DragonBlueToo, and my first, and favourite, GabbyBabylon. There have been a few sites on which I have used my real name, or some version of it, but here, we are anonymous and I like that.

The thing is, while I'm happy with Serenitree, I really miss GabbyBabylon. I had to stop using that name because I picked up a stalker, abuser, insane guy, in my first weeks n EP, and had to delete my account and change my name and block him before he ever became aware of me in anyway.

I am much more of a babbler, than a serene anything. The only reason I haven't taken back the GabbyBabylon name, is because I can't think of any profile picture that could be appropriate for a name like that. Serenitree, is great, because, I can find a serene looking tree suitable for any occasion. Summer, winter, fall spring, Christmas, Valentine's Day, and NewYears Eve, and any other occasion you name, I can find a tree to express it or my feelings on any given day.

What kind of picture can describe a GabbyBabylon, besides a chattering chimp? That's the downside of changing my name. The upside is, doing a Google search for GabbyBabylon still brings up only me. There haven't been any new users, anywhere using that name. Every result was me.


So you can see my thinking, here. On the one hand, I would love to go back to the name my kids bestowed on me long before there was an Internet. On the other hand, there are a couple of issues. People know me as Serenitree. Will changing the name confuse people? And then there's the tree. I really like having a tree as my avatar. I guess I could be Gabby and still use a tree as a symbol.

So, I ask you, should I or shouldn't I. Whatever name I use, I will still be the same babbler you have all come to know and love, or hate, or feel completely indifferent about. I won't change, but my name might.


What do you think???


Serenitree
GOOD DAY
