Inclusiveness: I'm interested in unusual people and places, even though I don't know if I qualify as being unusual myself. Functionality: So to me, "my" makes more sense: "my unusual places," "my unusual pet", "my unusual quotes" etc etc. vs "i'm" is awkward Foolproof: Then there's the fact that with "im unusual" people don't know whether or not to put in the apostrophe, and if they do, it sends them to a blank page, since no punctuation is allowed in URLs.

As far as changing the name I think you should leave it as it is. I know if I am Unusual or not, but I may wander what MY UNUSUAL IS. I don't really feel as though I am UNUSUAL, but I really enjoy all the UNUSUAL places, things and stories your are putting on your site. I feel that changing the site name would be a mistake.

For another, a person might not feel that he/she is unusual and not go to the site, thinking they have nothing to offer. But "Myunusual" includes anyone who likes to read about unusual things, places, persons, etc. The name also just flows better from a marketing viewpoint. I spent many years in advertising and public relations and hope that my thoughts will be useful in determining whether to change your name. jackieb@earthlink.net

joe Guest Sep 25, 2009 4:43 PM	Hi, My name is Joe and I love feet. I take pictures of feet on my cell, download them to my computer and spend many a rapturous hour viewing them. If you can relate to that, embrace that, and perhaps share your own unusual activity; then you are IMUNUSUAL. If this appalls you but you like to read about it, revel in the picadillos of others; then you are MYUNUSUAL. Now I am not talking specifically about sexual things, it could be politics, lifestyle, art, preference of humor ,or whatever. I think there is a real fear of expression that exists. Wouldn't we all love a place to go to express that one thing that makes us unusual?
