I don't want to jump in the middle of a conversation, but I personally would recommend deleting and restarting. Socrates is a top user, and having an account named similar to a top user is a common tactic for trolls, and may get you flagged or downvoted even if you don't do anything wrong. So it's best to start on the right foot. That's my two cents, but as RayDog said, no one can make you do anything...
