The Geniuses at Linden Lab have announced this morning that you can now officially change your display name to anything you wish in the upcoming weeks. What does this mean? It means that if your current SL name is Peter Pimplesnatch you can change your name to display as John Pimplesnatch. This assumes that you love the name Pimplesnatch. You could of course change it to just about anything you can think of. There are tons of details of how this all works out and Torley Linden has released a Video describing the details.
This should be an interesting experiment in confusion as names are changed with abandon. Prepare to have to think a bit more about who all your friends are. Additionally, this will only work in Veiwer 2.1 – those using other viewers such as Emerald are out of luck. It’s also the end of civilization as we know it. OMG change! Before I go spreading rumours around perhaps its better if you just read the FAQs.

I might change to Jessika de Jenvieve. Or maybe the Baroness Jessika de Jenvieve.
Ahhhhh delusions!!
