Smarmosaur
in your opinion, would it be sort of ok to switch your name.
instead of rockit studios, i want to be smarmosaur productions. laugh.gif (not sure about the productions part, but some word like that).
it's not like i'm a majorly known designer or anything, so it wouldn't be that hard/big of a deal, but i want a few opinions.

so, good idea or not?

I don't think it's a bad idea, but it can be confusing. I'd say it's better to change it now than later, when you'd possibly have a lot of visitors.

I don't think you should change it too often, though, so think carefully. ;]

i really like your current name.
but, if you were to change it, give it A LOT of thought.
cause, its not really good to keep changing it. &i'm not THAT big of a fan of smarmosour. but, whatever is, umm, you, i guess. lmfao
Smarmosaur
well, i created this name just out of nowhere. i wanted to get myself started and didn't put much thought into it.
now that i'm more serious and experienced, i want a more permanent name. something kinda catchy. and i don't even remember where smarmosaur came from. it's some sort of...made up dinosaur name. XD.gif
so if i do change it (whether it's to smarmosaur or something else i think of), it'll definitely be permanent.

RockItStudios > Smarmosour (Productions), imo

But if you do decide to change your name, make sure you like let everyone know on your website & stuff. Like maybe announce your decision a week or so before you actually do it. shrug.gif

Hm...it's better to change it now then later like Zephyr said.

And I like Smarmosour but it sounds really...eh, not professional if that's what you want.

^ Oh Lord, I depise the name of my site. pinch.gif

I was going to change the name of my site a couple months ago, but I personally thought it would be too much work. You have to switch credits and then people will get confused...it just seems like a mess to me. I'm not really too crazy about Smarmosaur, anyway. It seems diffifult to remember, and it doesn't sound very flowy. I can imagine having a hard time trying to pronounce it, but I'm not going to test it. My family will think I'm crazy if I start talking to the computer...

Not going to lie, I wouldn't remember how to spell "Smarmosaur".

I messed up with that on my last site, avierspiel. Too many e's and i's.


Crap, I think I messed up too. Sylfaerien? My host said it was ridiculously hard to spell <_<;;

Although I think "smarmosaur" is cute, I agree with Dee in that I wouldn't remember how to spell it.
Smarmosaur
hm. ok.
I'll just go smarmosaur crazy in other parts of my life. =D
for some reason, I'm not as crazy about RockIt Studios as I used to be. should I just live with it and hope the phase passes, or do something about it?

OHH i thought it was smarmoSOUR and not smarmoSAUR
smarmosaur is nice[: i like the whole concept of a made up dinosaur
name, but, maybe a different word besides smarmo, but i do like the concept of it all[x
Smarmosaur
totally bumping this.
i can't put up with this stupid rockit studios name much longer.
for one, it has no meaning.
two, it's not professional and it's just...boring.

i'm like, desperate. i have no ideas, though i do like the word ardor. it's amazing. suggestions?
markmejia
Sure, as long as you stay away from changing it for a second time.
Smarmosaur
ardor just basically means passion. like adore, but different, and way cooler sounding.
i'm starting to think something like ardor pixels. i was just writing down random design-related words and pixels stood out to me.
feel free to make suggestions!
