I always liked your ID Leloup

In my case sadly not many people I know can pronounce Eulogy right or even know what it is... I don't even think my ID is that difficult

Even though LeLoup is french it's much better than Jinxed in my opinion.
It kind of sounds awful in a pretentious way.

If that's what you are going for, that's good I guess.

In all honesty if I had the LeLoup twitter/twitch channels it wouldn't be an issue. I don't though and all the other options are pretty sub par IMO (loupinconnu, leloupdota, leloup1, nothing really works for me IMO). So between them and Jinxed I decided to go with the new name. Also I think Jinxed Dota rolls off better, but that's just me lol.

Streamers miss-pronounce my name just about every time our game is streamed, but that's my name and I like it. It's also nice to always get the username you want. when registering to a site. If you like your name then imo, you should keep it. Having a different name won't make you more recognizable and imo jinxed is much more standard/boring than LeLoup.

When I think of jinxed:

When I think of LeLoup:
LCPL

And that's most important in a name imo. A distinguishable name that can stick with people.

The good thing about doing this now is that I am having to restart and start again anyways. All of my previous twitch VODs are muted thanks to the new policy so I have to do something about that regardless. If it doesn't work (or the LeLoup name on twitch/youtube opens up) then I may consider a switch back, but honestly I happen to like the name and I think I'm going to try it for a bit.

In fact I'm actually setting up to stream right now. http://twitch.tv/jinxeddota

I'm sorry to say but I think that you've jinxed this name change.

...

In all honesty, having a recognizable and a relatively unique name that already has history beats having a nick that rolls of the tongue easier. I really feel like worrying about having the perfect handles on the Internet should be the least of your worries. Getting recognized and building a "brand" is about way more than the right name, and you can make it with basically any nick possible, as long as the work you are doing is worth getting recognized for. I'd say just stick with what you've got. Obviously do what you feel like is the best, but to me it seems like you might be over thinking this and making it a much bigger issue than it actually is.

Oh, and Pokemon and League connections aside, http://www.jinx.com/shop/coll/dota/ is what I think of when someone says "jinxed dota".

I'm not really liking the jinxed name either I get what you're trying to do though. I can't get the Kirsed twitter name and it annoys me good luck with the new name.
