Reason: My current username “Porkchop Jr.” isn’t that different from “PorkchopGMX”, just the last part is changed and I want to further separate myself from
GMX Mail which is where “GMX” came from. I don’t have any connection with GMX Mail. Thanks!

Ok, guess i’ll just stick with “Porkchop Jr.”. Also I would have to update all my stuff and whatnot.

Reason: The previous version of the name has reference to something I was doing at the time but have long since moved on from, and most everywhere else on the internet that I have an account on has the new name as my handle. As such, I'd like this to be updated to be more consistent with the rest of my online presence. EDIT: It looks like I may have already taken that username with a separate email, so this rename may not be necessary any longer.

Reason: This is a more straight-forward username, and the name I use most often in other places around the web. It also works better with the forced capitalization of usernames, i.e. I'm usually either "Chrees" or "chreescawks" (all lowercase). I'm unable to tell if this username is taken, but as far as I can see the user previously known as "Chrees" renamed their account, but for some reason it's still coming up as in-use through other name changing methods.

Renamer note: Thank you for your request. To clarify, a username may not be the name of a company, and it must also not imply that it is shared or could otherwise belong to more than one person at a time or be transferred to another individual. For example, "Secretary at Example Industries" is not an appropriate username, as "secretary" is a position in a company, not an individual.
An appropriate alternative is to add your real name to the username, followed by an "at <your company name>". For example, "John at Example Industries" is an appropriate username as it does not imply shared use (it makes it explicit that it belongs to only one person) and doesn't imply that it can be transferred, as "John" is a person, not a position. —
