I used to have an online name, but I've recently decided to go back to my real name. The change happened after my mother died at the end of last year. It suddenly became more important to me to be, well, me. So I'm no longer Seren and I've reclaimed my real name, Eunice.

But, I can't see anything wrong with anyone going by a name that was not given to them by their parents. Now I know I was right not to take up on google plus!
