    Both Bleeker and I changed our name. If you think you need the mojo of a new stronger (sexier, more exotic, however you see it) name, I think you ought to change it.
    People recognize you from your posts and your avatar. Don't change both at the same time!!

    I think it's okay to be "La Tiburona," I don't actually speak Spanish but I've seen that kind of construction before.

    But I like Fredwina...

    No multiple personality disorder like Mimi and create a new name then log in on the old one. I like Fredwina.

    I don't know, but I made up a haiku for you.


    If peaceful shark asks,
    "Hey! You want a piece of me?"
    it's our Fredwina.


    "fred" is a germanic root that means "peace."

    I don't like it when people change their names. I forget who they are (all except Mimi, who could forget that avatar?!?)

    I like Fredwina (the name, & the person behind it).

    But, if you want to change it, that's entirely up to you.

    "Fredwina" and long, impressive, unsupported/randonneur-type rides with great photos are indelibly linked in my head.
    "My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure." O. Sacks
