I was actually going to rant this off on my blog, but decided not to. So anyway, I'm assuming many of you use Messenger to chat with buddies and friends online.
Now if you're like me and been using the Internet for 8 years, you'll have gone through all the phases of using Messenger. One of them is to change your Messenger screen name like every 2-3 days. Eventually you grow out of that and change it routinely - like you have a few favourites and change them every now and then depending on your mood. And then years later you become like me and keep your actual name as your screen name and say to yourself I'll never change it till the day I die. Right.
However, I've come across a bunch of guys who use Messenger and change their screen names like every 2-3 hours or so. It doesn't get me pissed off as pissed off, but a little confused. Especially when you have a lot of contacts online, some pratt keeps jumping about on your list depending on the first character of their new screen name.
I guess what I would like to ask is, if you're one of these crazy Messenger users who change their screen names a lot, why? Why do you do it?
On another note, I can't wait till they start giving the feature for Messenger when you can label your contacts as you wish and not be on the other end of their disturbing habit.
Got a question, or got something in general to say or ask me, drop me a line. Peace out!
I don't change my name that often. I'm hardly ever on MSN as it is.
My current name is 'Hello Mister Fancy Pants', because I heard it in this movie and it made me laugh. It's funny in the context of the film, but makes very little sense in isolation. But then, a lot of my contacts have weird MSN names like that.
Oh My. Compared to you people I must be dead boring. Get this. I got messenger 3 years ago..................and from then until now, my display name has been the same and has never ever ever ever ever changed......poor me eh?
Our Lord! Verily, we have heard the call of one calling to Faith: 'Believe in your Lord,' and we have believed.
Our Lord! Forgive us our sins and expiate from us our evil deeds, and make us die (in the state of righteousness) along with Al-Abrar
ohh mann i change ma username every few secs.......! it depends on ma mood.... at times i dont change it... for days... and the same for the display pics...! ohh goshh every feww secs... i got a new DP!
Please Don't Forget the Plight of Muslims in your Dua's "And Seek (Allah's) help

Treat this world as though you are a traveller resting under the shade of a tree!
good one bro!

nah. i've been through all those phasez. by now i don't evn change the personel msg i have to ppl. Though i just have !~*F*~! as my nick, not really my name per se. but yea, i USED to change mny nik around the hours at a point... it's just tht i kept thinkin it could look better, cooler. n tht ppl would get a real good idea abt me without evn having to talk much... yea, tht's bout it.
People are fragile things, you should know by now. Be careful what you put them through.
There are few reasons why people change it so frequently:
1) Because they are so creative, they just can’t decide which title to have so they switch every few minutes just to satisfy their genius statues.
2) Because they can.
3) To annoy people on their list
4) To confuse others about who they are so that later on they may say to them “You’re hallucinating mate, I didn’t change my screen title!”
5) Because they are bored and have nothing better to do
6) They want to get people interested so they can say “Wot does ur title mean?” or “Who are talking about?”
well then its a very good thing taht we shall never chat on MSN becoz almost every name i pik is a message/dawa/ayyat
Nah brother i could not even live one day without using MSN so thats not a gd idea but what i was trying to say we should write down song lyrics/dawad /ayat or anything in personal message(you know theres a place under the display name) and not in the place where we have to write the name..................
