I have also many times in the past few months thought of a name change

1. Because when I initially had to think of a name I was rushed and the ones I was choosing were already taken.

2. Because I was getting tired of almost everyone asking me "why the name Midnight Express?" And expecting a great story when in fact I really just didn't have enough time to think it through lol.

So people could have many other reasons for name changes I don't know if it would be a good idea for a name change because I believe I've built up an "ok" rep for myself so I have thought of opening a second profile instead just to see how people respond to a newer name but NOT because I'm trying go do anything dodgy!

Sweety you don't need to explain yourself, if you know you are clean and not doing anything dodgy or it is not because of anything negative feel free to change your name

There is no need for something negative to happen to change a name :)

I've also only changed my name once...

When I got divorced I as a person changed and so did my WG Persona. I felt Saffron Skye represented more of where this persona was heading...

Yes, we are not who our WG personas are.

Also, as ME says, at first when you start you get pressured into picking a name and don't really think it through.

I enjoy the name Tisha it means joy and thats the main part of my personality.

I was really not thinking when I choose a name for my profile because its way to close for to my real name . So hence I put a Miss and Surname to it , in a few days time it will be changing.

just trying to help the person who started the topic to get a better understanding that there are many reasons a WG would want to change their name :)

Changing a name is one thing. One WG Having multiple profiles on ESA at
the same time for me is a red flag.

I think it isn't smart to change your name. Everyone knows me as Sabrina, and they have for years. Why mess with your business? Guys will look for you and think you're out of the industry when they don't find you

Changing names is a technique that is often used by WG's to try and get away from something dodgy. It creates doubt and suspicion in the mind of many punters and rightly so. I always avoid WG's that change their names. Ask yourself, what reason is there for doing that?

I would agree if the name change comes along with a change in style and location you can question it, but others change because they are evolving, maturing into different people, A lady who joins at 20 may be a baby doll, but at 30 she is no longer that person, and a change is needed

Sometimes its just their own evolution of who they are

Dear JohnT

In our 21 years of experience, there is generally nothing malicious about an advertiser having more than one profile on ESA, that's like saying seeing the same company having multiple billboards up on the same road is a "red flag".

It's in the advertiser's interest to have as many profiles online as possible because it gives them better exposure for their business. They are after all advertising a service.

Yes, we know there is a percentage of people that do have the intention of scamming and the same could be done with just one profile but it would not be fair to sweep everyone under the same carpet.
