Just had a look at my registration and I've had 34 shock. I think I reveal too much and get worried about outing myself!

How many have you had?

AdoraBell Sat 23-Feb-13 00:06:09

Technically 3 because I Did a crimbo varient, lo

Sausage fingers blush

Joined last year.

3, not counting xmas sillies. Been here since 2009.

I reveal way too much and would probably be outable even now but, I'm pretty sure no one's interested. I just worry if I might be a bit too honest about work related things grin

Been on MN for 4 years on and off, only NC'd last week when I saw the Eddie Izzard thread. Will prob NC back soon.

I find it kind of reassuring to see the same names come up and have started looking out for them (Chaos, Mrs DeV, Sparkling, Worra, MrsFuzzy, ledkr) grin

WorraLiberty Sat 23-Feb-13 00:23:36

I don't know, Worra8 does have a ring to it grin

theodorakisses Sat 23-Feb-13 06:14:40

No, Worra, you can't change it, remember the MN dog is called WorraL and after the job of explaining to the vets that, yes, it is a capital L at the end you can jolly well keep it.

I joined in 2009 or 2010 and I think I've had about 7 or 8 names. Two were specifically just for two threads.

I post in Baby Names (baby name geek) a lot and often give my own name out in the context of the convo, and so NC every now and then mostly on this basis.

I have recognised a couple of people on here so see how easily it can happen.

smellsofsick Sat 23-Feb-13 06:25:47

Two. I only changed because someone accused me of being a journalist and doing some under hand story gathering!

TheNebulousBoojum Sat 23-Feb-13 06:29:22

Eight over the years. I NC to avoid building up too much of a history, or if I feel like re-inventing myself. Somehow Feenie always seems to know though...

theodorakisses Sat 23-Feb-13 06:29:36

I have been accused of a post I didn't make, those people are just out to bully for any reason and think they own this website which goes to show how tragic and pathetic they are. I am Theo and always will be. I am sometimes tempted to name change to disagree with someone but can't be arsed and if I can't speak as me then I shouldn't say it. As long as I avoid 4x4 threads I don't need to argue with anyone.

theodorakisses Sat 23-Feb-13 06:33:01

I briefly name changed after being quite nastily abused by a vile little man who seemed to stalk me and ridicule any further threads I posted on after he took exception to me living in the ME because his friend had lived there and didn't like it and I was a bit scared of him, he started getting very personal and aggressive. He obviously found someone else and hasn't bothered me since I changed back a couple of years ago. I actually hate that man.

PantsInWash Sat 23-Feb-13 10:12:20

btw Worra and OP, I'm completely with you on the ironing smile

SnowyWellies Sat 23-Feb-13 10:21:28

About 12 since 2009.

I first changed because I outed myself, then change if I am positing something very personal and identifying. Last year I changed every Monday just so I could not be traceable because I had an ex-friend on here who I did not want to know who I was.

Have kept this one for a while now... since Christmas I think. (Although am planning to change my name to WetWellies as it seems more appropriate now.)

MammaTJ Sat 23-Feb-13 10:30:57

Just the one with seasonal name changes.

I did start a thread asking for ideas for a new NN for me and got told not to change it.

Four main ones. First was my actual name which lasted about 20 seconds. Then I flounced and no one noticed so I lost that one. Two since then.

Been here 6 years btw so essentially 3 in 6 years isn't too bad.

FruOla Sat 23-Feb-13 10:59:16

This is my fourth - I've NCd every New Year.

SuffolkNWhat Sat 23-Feb-13 10:59:53

2 main ones (this one and NorfolkNChance -which then went weird and I couldn't log on so hence the change), obvious festive changes and a few TV themed ones. Oh and a brief flirtation with DarthUndercrackers.

NoWayNoHow Sat 23-Feb-13 11:00:46

I've had 3.

Name-changed first one after particularly traumatic AIBU smile
Have had this one since then, and have one other that I use if I want to start a thread on any particularly private/personal issues as I'm pretty recognisable in RL from this nickname.

cuppateaanyone Sat 23-Feb-13 11:01:07

Just this one since I joined in 2010

CalpolInMyEar Sat 23-Feb-13 11:06:02

This is the only one that is in no way linked to the original one I had in 2010 when I joined, before that the only changes were variations, but after a bit of RL crossover and a need to distance myself I changed in January.

Seasonal ones, & just this one.

About 6 main ones but I have about 140 names on my list. blush Some I've used a few times on jokey threads but most are just from trying to find The One.

M0naLisa Sat 23-Feb-13 11:10:21

Loads but been this one now for 2 years

Psammead Sat 23-Feb-13 11:13:17

I've had a few, but 99% of my posts have been with this one.
