Hi 👋

Everyone

Why does this happen? I don't know if you have noticed it or perhaps you are even one of those who do this.

One moment, a particular user goes by a particular name and the next moment there is a name change. I understand that uptrennd gives us the opportunity to be whomever it is we want to be. Some even go as far as claiming an identity that is not theirs, pretending to be a woman just because they for some reasons believe that women get the highest votes on uptrennd. Now, that I have mentioned it, I would like us to even talk about it in the comment section. Do women get more votes on uptrennd than men?

While still on the topic on name change. I want you to understand that constant changing of names can affect you incase you don't know. Your name is your identity and once you have grown your followers to a certain level, it will be disastrous to have a constant change of name. There is every tendency that those who know you may see your post and not bother to check it out because you have an unfamiliar name. It could also lead to loss of followers as someone going though his or her list of people being followed may wonder when and how they followed such a strange name and decide to unfollow.

If you are doing so because you are getting low votes, a name change doesn't guarantee a high vote either. Be unique. Create your own brand with your name.

If you have nothing shady going on, why constantly change your name? Why not create a trademark with the name you are known with? Let people know you with that and recognise you anytime anyday.

I can't imagine changing my name. Just think how much that would affect me. Just think about this and do the right thing.
