What's in a Name?

Imagine.

Imagine me saying to my Owner, "I am changing my name", "thinking of changing my name", "wonder what you think about me changing my name".

He'd be cool with the idea at first. Interested, intrigued. "To what subgirl?" Wondering what would have motivated me to want a change, what new direction I was going in the exploration of self.

Actually, in some ways he doesn't care about what name I call myself. You think of me as Sin, which I like, but isn't my name of course. But it's my online name or one of them.

He calls me subgirl most often, a generic term. Or he calls me one of 20 other names, some nasty, some loving, some objectifying. He calls me what he wants. So why would he care if I had a new name? But he'd care because he'd want to know my thinking about it.

I saw a name while I was reading blog comments today. The name is No.

Not NoSir or NoPleaseDon'tSir.

It's No. There must be a story there. I did follow the link but there wasn't a blog on the other end. So there must be a story but it's a private one.

He'd probably let me change my name to lots of things. I think he would anyway. To Honey or Painslut or CuntBitchHarlot. But I'm pretty sure he'd draw the line at No.

I bet he'd go for Yes though. Ummm, maybe make that YesSir.

To be named "No" sounds painful. Maybe it's a training thing though. I can't help but think of that horrible book titled "The Child Called It". No thanks to the name No.... not that I have much of a say in what Master calls me, but I think even he would draw the line there!

I was intrigued by that name as well, and wondered if it was a name of an actual persona or a non-kink-friendly person.

i missed that comment--i didn't realize at first you meant change your online name...

i did change my r/l name. i was 18, rebellious. Not a huge change, really. But enough to piss off my parents.
