Could we have a drop down box with available name changes?

I was wondering if this would be possible.

A drop down box when we are signed in, so that we could choose which pseudonym we want to use.

So I could have

MmeLindor for normal posting and
SaltandCaramel for blog or maybe
MeMooncupIsStuckUpMeChuff for embarrassing questions (not that it is or ever has been)

so that I don't have to keep going back and forth to MyMumsnet to change names for different threads?

That is a brilliant idea

It would be lovely if you could customise your settings so that different names were the default on different topics.

Would also be handy if you are using a silly or rude name and want to post on a sensitive thread.

Always feels wrong to post on a thread where the OP is going through something really horrible using a daft name.

Great idea MMeLindor.

Please MNTechs, pretty, pretty please.

Though I'm not sure why as I'm always ChippingIn with the occasional lame seasonal change.

I read the title and thought 'Which fuck muppet thinks that's possible'... I thought the person wanted a drop down box for all available names...

I like your idea!! Wine

We could limit it to two or three namechanges at a time.

And just think about the many many times someone will get muddled...
