I wrote something along the line of this topic today, but I will only post it perhaps tomorrow. I contemplated to switch to my Turkish pen-name or one of the names from the book I authored too. I felt I wanted to keep my private life away from articles I published. I think tomorrow once I published it, if you read it, you may understand where I am coming from, as in my perceptions and views. Using my real name and people knowing me from my real name is a gratitude of social acceptance I would say. But on another side, using a different name allows me to pick up myself better and faster. I can just say, that pen name person died. But I continue to live. If you get what I mean. On another end, I just wanted to enjoy names I love like Zulie did. I don't know if changing the user name and URL will affect traffic again.
