When I joined PS I didn't realize that it was taboo to post your name as your username. I would like some anonymity... but I can't for the life of me figure out how to change it! Help!
 
You can contact the mods and ask them to change it.
 
Scroll down to the bottom of the page where it says “Terms of Use” etc and use the “Contact Us” link.

I hope you're not on Facebook.
 
Is there a rule against using your name or your husband's name in your username?

No, it's just some people are concerned about privacy and if you use your name it is just easier to find you. I figure everything I post is fair game and anyone can find anyone if you have any internet presence at all. If you are on IG or FB or have a linked in account or belong to any forum. There really is no privacy if you post online IMO. It might be more difficult to track someone down but I think anyone who posts can be tracked down unfortunately. It is the way the world works now. :/

Yep, you're right about all that. I normally do what I can to make tracking harder, but sometimes just say the hell with it.
 
I also tried getting my username changed. I reported my own posts, used the "contact us" 2 times...I never was successful and never heard back from anyone...

Let me know if you get through to a mod? I really want to change mine too :(
 
Earlier this week I requested to have mine changed by going to my profile page and using the "Report Concern" button. Asked for the name change, and change was made within a few days.
