    Default Changing my name on SM by one letter

    When I signed up for Streamate I wasn't sure if I wnated to be Jaana Ruutu or Rutu. I signed up as Rutu, but have since decided Ruutu is better. Most people know me as Jaana Ruutu, and I'd like to add thesecond U to my name. Does SM allow that and do you think it would confuse the guys?

    Hi hun,I had a similar issue except I had accidentally misspelt my name lol,I asked Vanessa if it could be done, just needed an m changing to an n, she said it wouldn't be a problem other than it would mean starting as a new model. I chose to leave it. Might be worth asking her as this was a while ago.

    Yes, it's possible to change your name without starting over ... not sure who you need to talk to, though.

    Ok just checked my old emails, this is what Vanessa said regarding the name : "I can change/edit your profile name to the correct spelling, however, this may risk you losing all customers who had previously saved your profile as a "favorite"/had opted to receive automatic notifications when you're online/etc. Otherwise, I don't see it drastically effecting the amount of traffic you receive so long as you have those key elements in place (HD Encoder is configured, using audio, maintain profile rating, great stream quality, etc)."

    I would suggest contacting Vanessa [email protected] she's super helpful.

    My name was changed, I didn't lose the ones who favorited me. They were like, so now you're xy? One letter won't confuse them at all.
    Most won't even notice I'm sure.

    I wish you luck with this. I wish I could change my SM name to 'yummybrownfox' with the guarantee that I won't lose my 5 star rating and member comments (not that I have many comments anyway...lol).

    Happy Hump Day, ladies!

    I think they would only change it if there was a actual personal threat or concern in that sense. I doubt they would change it for one more "u" in your name.

    I just recently (cple mths ago maybe) read a cple vets talking about this and how they and their friends were able to change their names on there recently without having to open a new account,although I cant remember for the life of me which thread it was on - Id def contact Vanessa though instead of just SM support,that way you have a much better chance of being approved the first time instead of just getting an automated no back.

    i wish we could change on names on HERE,do yall have any idea how nuts my name makes me?!? Every time i log on im like *eyeroll,le sigh...FML* lol

    Btw,i stopped by your room for a min the other day,youre sooo freakin cute lady!!

    Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaait a minute so some models are able to change their name without having to delete their account. I remember asking Sm to change my name a couple of times and I was always told that I had to close my account and start a new if I wanted a new name. This has also been discussed on here and most were under the same impression. I've even told other models that thought about changing their name that they had to close their account as well. I even recently deleted my account so that I could change my name. Wat the heck, is this another perk for Streamate's favorite models?

    ^^I think you don't have to be favorite, you just have to be lucky or know where to send the email. Regular support can be very lame...

    WORD. I wanted to change my name on there too so that it matches my Twitter name, but I was told I'd have to start a new account. SMH.

    I still have an email (reply) from SM saying I could change my name without closing my account. I didn't end up going through with changing it though.

    From what I've heard about SM support, it just depends on who answers the email. Same with raising your rates, the first time I emailed support to raise my prices to 9.99 they only raised them to 7.99, just had to email again and get someone else who would do it for me.

    I've wanted to change my name since I started, but have been putting it off because I've heard its hit or miss. For those who did get your name changed, do you know who from support answered your email?

    Default Re: Changing my name on SM by one letter

    I would not bother, it's just an "u" part of a foreign sure name anyway, not a big deal in my eyes unless u want the name to match some other important ID u want to connect with. Good luck anyway!

    Yeah, keep in mind once you used the name, you can't have it again. I changed it, but the reason that made me change doesn't exist anymore, and if I ever plan to leave DP I will be fucked cause both versions of my name are taken now. + a third too, cause I used to have an independent already.
    So if you will ever have to rejoin sm for some reason, this very similar other version of your name will be available at least.

    I went through a total name change and was told the same thing by Vanessa (that there might be some decrease with guys temporarily) but I didn't notice anything. All my ratings and comments stayed the same. There was this brief moment of my cammodels link not working, but that was about it.

    Name changes have nothing to do with being an SM favorite. Lord knows i'm not a favorite (or a top earner or porn star or anything else) Though I did manage a name change. I emailed support and they said it couldnt be done and had it changed the same day (by someone else) It all depends on who is replying to your emails at any given time and how helpful they feel like being.
