Yeah, totally my fault for never logging in. Still sucks. Now I'm trying to rename them, and, of course, it's the hardest thing ever.
it does have to suck, but maybe there's a bright side? maybe finding new names will re-inspire you and help to develop your characters even more? c: if it were me, that's the way I'd try to look at it, I think. :)

I'm not terribly upset, hopefully I can find some decent names. Luckily my one finished pet, Squishy, I was able to add a period on the end and hang onto the name. No way am I changing the story and profile over a period being in the name.
