You're just doing this to confuse me, aren't you.

> I don't have any compelling reason to; I don't hate the name Gahalia or anything. But it feels... almost right to change it - possibly because I have undergone some big changes in life recently. It also might be nice to give Gahalia-the-character in the novel I'm writing a bit of a rest from her online existance. ;-) But the name Gahalia has almost become a part of me, and I'm a bit hesitant to change. So I will ask this question: would anyone really rather me not? It may seem silly to ask but I know when Monkeyman was talking to us about possibly changing his screenname I very much (although I don't now remember why) didn't want him to. I'm not saying that any replies will make my decision for me but I would like to hear if anyone is against a change.

> p.s. Just thought of something - I couldn't use "'halia" anymore. I've recently gotten rather attached to that abbreviation. But I could use "Gahal" with the added bonus of helping people know how to pronounce "Gahalyn". ("Gaha" in "Gahalia" isn't really a valid syllable because it's broken up Ga-halia.) Although I suppose people could pronounce "Gahal" as "Ga-hall" or "Ga-haal" instead of the correct "Gay", and aren't you glad I'm done rambling?
