Names have been changed to protect the innocent

So I came close to changing my DeviantArt name today, but at the last moment I decided not to. This is despite the fact that I'm not overly fond of the username 'dokt' and have accounts everywhere else under my actual name. The name originally came from my Team Fortress clan name - Dokta Dee - which itself was short for Doctor Dildo - a name I chose deliberately to flick a virtual middle finger at all those people with pseudo-violent names taking themselves far too seriously.

However this is the only account with the username dokt that I still actively use. The reason that I changed my mind at the last minute was because I've had this account for so long that it felt a bit churlish to chuck it away. I've been 'dokt' on DeviantArt since early 2001. At the time my (now 10 year old) son hadn't been born and I lived in the Cotswolds in England and not NSW in Australia. To put it simply there's too much baggage attached to 'dokt' to chuck him on the scrapheap, so for better or worse it's what I'll stick to - for the next decade at least.
