only when I've needed to ask for advice about embarrassing stuff which is ridiculous really as you're all just words on a screen/small creature inside my laptop.
I've never changed mine, but seeing as I chose it because it described my pregnant bump and that bump will shortly be celebrating her 2nd birthday I think maybe I should!
I have always been trinity but I was trinityrocks and then franny and others went horny one day and I changed to trinityrhino and then it stuck like it better
I never once name changed (except xmas last year, but even then it was still my name tweaked a little), until this september and that was for something very painful for me.
since then I have been havign a personality disorder and have name-changed almost daily, but I will be very very obvious about it and even sign posts as 'psycho' anyway.
many of the 'psycho' names tho are me, other than psychobabble and one other.
Only ever went on mn because a colleague told me 'It's an excellent resource to recommend to single mums'.

I have. I posted under a different name when my DH first told me of his alcoholism. I think that's allowed though. I would never have posted under my "real" name because I really wasn't coping well at the time.
I'd never do it for trolling purposes, I haven't the inclination or the imagination.
I only changed it once and I thought it was a fairly recognisable version of my usual name. It was a bastardized German version. But people didn't recognise me, thought I was being very rude so I just changed back. It all backfired really.
sorry.
