Can I change my user name?

Will it cause any problems if I change my user name? The only reason I want to change it is because when I write reviews I think it looks like they are all in Saitama! Because the Saitama is more prominent than the actual location. And seen as I write about other prefectures than Saitama it might be less confusing if I change my user name. I probably should have done it years ago! Photo just for aesthetics!

Former nickname was "Saitama". Changed it to save confusion on place review posts! Irish, 20+ years in Japan! I also write on my personal website: insaitama.com

    I don't think it should impact anything! You can do it here: https://www.city-cost.com/mypage/profile and as long as it fits their character requirements you should be good to go.

    From a technical / system standpoint it's no problem!

    @City-Cost @genkidesu thank you. I was worried it might start me from zero again! As long as I still get my points, all is well :D

    Good to know we can change our user names. Mine is geographic, too, based on my location between the Tone and Edo Rivers. Occasionally, I've changed the profile image with no bother.

Japanese names you love?

I blogged yesterday about this year's top baby names in Japan, and there was quite a focus on nature and calmness in the most popular picks. I was wondering if there are any Japanese names you love for the meaning behind them. Maybe you have a friend, coworker, or even family member with a beautiful name. I'd be happy to hear what it is, and why you like it so much!
