Hi all. I open this thread looking for some advice.
When i started here on AD, i placed my user name, which i’ve feel comfortable with till now, that i’m slowly moving to CC and TF marketplaces. Although i wanted to keep my ID name (i know flash has a bad image, but i’m proud of that technology and all the opportunities it has gave to me) now i’m realising that it can cause some problems. Some customers has contacted me because they doubt if my recent works on CC and TF are flash based, and the confussion comes exclusively from my user id.

So i tried to move to just “PEZ”, but is already taken. I contacted support to see if they could put me in contact with that user (and old but not very active user here) so i can ask him/her for a name interchange. They answered they couldn’t do anythig about it, so sad. So i thought about “PezFish”, but again, is taken.

So now i’m thinking a new user name, and i’m looking for suggestions. One idea is to keep my common freelance id, “unpezvivo” which means “a living fish”, as i’ve been using it for many years for my own studio. But i’m afraid about a full latin name could make confussion or make customers think about a non english speaker author behind (which in fact is almost true! :P ). What i’m sure is somehow i want to keep the concept “pez” in the name.

What do you think?
And last but not least, is changing the user ID a pain for future referals?

Thanks in advance and sorry for this long post to explain something so simple.

Pezfish would be awesome – check with envato if that name is being used frequently. Otherwise kill it with fire and register it.

^ http://themeforest.net/user/pezfish :(

It’s not even a buyer. Registered 1 year ago. Wonder if Envato can do something about it. I also love that name.
