Wow, this is fantastic news

But of course I don't want to keep the funny story back from you. So here it is anyway (trusting that you won't reverse the name change if you don't like it

I have an uncle named Ed who struggled with thinning hair. So when his once majestic mustache got only 5 hairs left he started to give them names and taking extra care of each, hoping that this would help attaching them to him. Their names were Max, Piet, John, Vincent, Carl. Carl was a little lazy and hung down all day, Piet for some reason turned grey overnight. Vincent was the strongest of the remaining hairs. This same uncle gave me my first copy of the Sims game. So in order to honor him I used Vincent as an account name for my sims online activities.
Can you imagine how shocked I was when he shaved his beard off? Of course I can no longer use Vincent as a name. I’d rather honor my aunt, who gave me a pre-2012 disc of Sims 3 and named her favourite hair on her mustache Norn.
Hence my request for a name change. Thank you!
