How many nicknames have you had on here?

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?

Maryz Sat 23-Feb-13 12:56:26

Only one.

And some festive ones.

And a few rude ones.

And some to slag off various other people (imitation type names).

But only one posting name. And it is very boring sad.

26. Since late 2009.

I don't want to be recognised irl. I keep a nickname for a couple or months at most then change. Probably stick with the same one for a bit longer if I'm pregnant and posting on an ante natal group.

BarnYardCow Sat 23-Feb-13 12:46:58

Just two, managed to "lock" myself out of my password last time, so am going to stay with this one for now!

GazpachoSoup Sat 23-Feb-13 12:43:17

Loads. I regularly post, but get 'name fatigue' every now and again and feel the need to change!
This is my latest re-incarnation. I'll probably be bored of it by next week and be called something else. grin

LillethTheCat Sat 23-Feb-13 12:28:34

I had a few, then flounced and came back and stuck with this one. Im planning to stick with this one and avoid any controversial stuff not sure if Im doing that too well ATM so I can stick with this one.

RobinSparkles Sat 23-Feb-13 12:22:23

About 3. I've been on here since December 2007. No bugger knows me anyway!

MrsJohnDeere Sat 23-Feb-13 12:19:00

5

I thought five, but apparently 6. I forgot about one I used for a particularly personal question...

My first NN was one I use across many sites and (with a little effort) can be traced to the real me. I've since changed a couple times since I feel uncomfortable with DH knowing my NN and he keeps seeing it on my machine. This time (1) I know this is a name he wouldn't like, and (2) I'm trying to not click "keep me logged in" so I only have my name up when I post.

About 6 I think.

I was going to NC for good recently as someone in RL knows it's me. :-/

They gave the game away in a conversation. A bit weird. I feel stalked.

But I'm not changing. Been this name for ages now.

<hello if you're reading> wink

Sugarice Sat 23-Feb-13 11:43:54

Stuck with the same one with variants when Halloween,Christmas etc are here.

I've only ever had this one.

I feel a bit of a saddo now. And lacking in imagination!

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

Just one apart from seasonal ones.

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

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

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

Loads but been this one now for 2 years

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.

Seasonal ones, & just this one.

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.

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

Just this one since I joined in 2010

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.)
