    It wouldn't let me do a multiple choice pick

    What you call yourself is entirely up to you! But if you go with la Tiburon, you'd better sign "Fredwina" so we know who you are!

    I want to change my vote too.

    It's your handle, Fredwina (or La Tiburona). Self-deprecating is fun for a while but I can see how it would get old. Do what you like. But +1 on keeping a sig line that lets us know who you are until we get used to the new handle!

    Yes...but if you go with "Tiburon" I will forever think of you as an old Hyundai! And that just won't work.

    "la Tiburon", This is Spanish for "the Shark"

    FYI - It's 'El Tiburon' not 'la'

    ...a rose by any other name...

    I remember when BleekerSG changed hers. That was less eventful than changing her avatar

    I just changed my name from something as basic as my name to a nick name I was given by another rider who I did a couple of events with this year. He started calling me Short Cut Sally instead of my name, shelly, so I opted to change..I wanted something different...I like Fredwina, but you do what ever you have to. Sometimes change is good.

    You could add without subtracting.

    Our cat, now has so many names only he remembers them all, but lately he is:
    Princess (because DD dressed him up royally in days gone by) Prince Michael (in remembramce of Michael Jackson) Tiger (Christened by DD at age 4) T. (which stands for "the") Cat (rather obvious) the Noble, Wise, and Noisey, and non-eater of birds.


    So you could be crowned Fredwina Tiburana, the Shark (for monolinguals)
