I think it's a great change and I'm glad that your life is evolving from where it was four years ago.  For what it's worth I have no problem at all with folks changing their usernames here if they do it with integrity like you are doing here and giving a head's up.

Thanks for that.

And thanks for not picking some weird unpronoucable symbol too

DaisyJane, I sent you a daisy but i see it disappeared.

awesome...love it.

(ps...great middle name!)

I like your new name. Very cheery. I am posting this from my BlackBerry so cannot send you a daisy right now.

Pinga, did DaisyJane spell her name right? ;-)

probalby better than dazyjane...or dazjayne

I like change! Good choice

Love new name, dj...now I've got to remember it. It helps that you've kept the same avatar - you might want to consider hanging onto it for a while so that the association sticks...? Wonderful way of describing your transition, too.

As I read this all I can think of is DaisyChain

There is a flower, a little flower
With silver crest and golden eye,
That welcomes every changing hour,
And weathers every sky

I guess I was unclear,  I have been wondering and thinking of this for quite awhile with reference to you - not me. 

I keep seeing  a PolkaDot blouse and DaisyDukes and Mary Janes.What a picture in my mind.

I didn't think I saw you at the picnic yesterday Crazyheart and yet you describe EXACTLY what Daisy Jane looks like.....right down to what she was wearing!!!!  You must be psychic!

I am on my computer now and wanted to give you more daisies. I thought this wreath would be nice for your door. Enjoy.

I think this is good. And it gets me to thinking about names in general. Names we choose, names that are given to us, how we feel when people change their names, people's nicknames... Some people prefer to be called by their middle names...

In old chinese culture, and first nations culture, people would get a new name when they became grown up, hence Curly Hair became Crazy Horse.

I have always both liked and disliked my given name, and imagined other better names, or variants on my name. I am happy to have had the chance to give myself a name here on WC. And it has grown with me just like a real name. I identify myself as my name here, yet at the same time, it isn't real...   

Stuff to ponder...

Love Daisyjane as a choice. : ) Daisy is my birthflower. It was on my baby names list~

I'm so glad to hear of your positive evolution, DaisyJane.

In related news, I, the poster currently known as "jae" will soon be changing my name to "specialmom." Watch for it.

Love it DaisyJane!

Great new name.

You could drop him off with C~. She actually has lots of experience working with special needs kids. As for me, I'll take a short vacation.
