Reason: I stopped using my current username many years ago.

This was nostalgic, but none the less I no longer wanted that username. Please consider changing my Username; I do not want an account under a name I don't use, but if id does not get changed, I can learn to deal with it.

Ok. I’m aware of the implications when using your real name, and I still want to change it to my real name. However, a little correction, can we change the “ñ” on my to “n”? So my name will be displayed correctly across all browsers/devices. So the final name would be “Ian Jay Traquena”

Reason: Current username is very old, would like my new one to reflect the page (Musikfest, and some other music festivals) I manage. Undeadozzy 22:39, 12 February 2018 (UTC)
Reason: I know I'm known as Tokyogirl79, however I've been a little embarrassed about it for a while now because it can give off the impression that I'm Asian (I'm not), could be seen as cultural appropriation, I don't really like using the term "girl" anymore - it fit when I was far younger but not anymore, it's a username I typically no longer use anywhere else other than here, and I'd like to have something I don't have to explain as much when I introduce myself to people IRL.

Tokyogirl79, due to your edit count this rename will need to be observed by a sysadmin. Additionally, when we process it, it will take a couple hours during which you will not be able to log in.
