Don't You Love it When Friends Use the Same Photo or Avatar

I have noticed that since so many of my friends have migrated from B* that it is very helpful when they use the same name or at least the same photo or avatar to identify themselves.
I was going to use my real name on here but decided it would be wise to use a familiar name and photo. My photo is a bit old so think of me as a little greyer than that photo especially since I am letting my hair go natural at the moment.
Did you keep your name and photo the same? If not let me know who you are!!

Yes I have the same issue so when I see someone I recognize I follow them right away.. It can be so confusing lol

I keep my pen name, but not necessarily the same photo. I try to always be on the lookout for people I know, but lately a lot of people are changing up their names. Sometimes for good, sometimes just temporarily. I get confused there.

Yes I look at where they are from and that sometimes triggers a memory but it isn't always easy.

I hate when people change their photo. Because it is easier for me to remember the picture instead of the name.

I agree it is easier to remember the picture and makes us feel like we really know each other.

It is nice to see familiar faces here and that way it is like a magnet you are drawn back to each other!

I have a couple of avatars. A summer and winter one. I just changed to the winter face. I use my real name. Sometimes sites let you have a space between the first and last names and others don't. That's about the only difference.

@BelleStarr I think so too. Most of the people from the B site have kept their name in one way or another but there are some that I didn't know who they were until they told me.

I'm using the same name and photo. I was going to use an updated photo, but I never take selfies and I don't have many photos of myself. This one is now dated.

i kept the name, not the pic. 'twas 'avin' one 'f 'those days' when i landed here in disgust 'n'd not the heart to put my sweet mr. jake's photo up anyplace else. i agree though, t'would be grand if'n folks'd not change their names. but, perhaps its their wish to jest start afresh? great pic, btw.

I kept my real name the same, but changed both of username and avatar. I was DarkAgeProphet, over there. I don't like carrying the same identity from place to place.

@Sheilamarie78 A few others recognized me when I came over, but that's because I'd been just talking to them just before.

I did recognize you right off as well but I think the South Africa helped me. I tend to notice where people are from. I am glad you are here.
