actually, when it comes to an online community, your "name" is your identity. Had you been known by your previous name by many? Do many know you now by this name? Although you need to be comfortable with your choice of name in the community, have you already established yourself with "Minx"?
I recognize the name "Minx" when I go through a post just as I do SexyCat, Xapphire, Plummie, SiN, and many other ladies.
Would they be the same person with a new name? Of course. But I may not recognize them for some time. It would be a "starting over" for them.
But again, the name is up to you. Like I said before, you need to be comfortable with it.
