Dear MNHQ,

I would like a name thingy (I can't remember the word, but Reality asked for it once) so that I can use a name which someone else has used previously.

The name I would like to use is Absy.
Here are a number of ridiculously good reasons as to why I'd like it and why I should have it:

  1. I have checked, and wheover has it, has never used it. Ever, like never ever in the history of mumsnet (unless I searched wrong - a possibility)
  2. Some VERY IMPORTANT and well regarded MNers Pag use it for my nickname
  3. It's short to type
  4. My proper short name is Abs, but there's someone called Abzs/Absz so it would be well confusing if I was Abs, and Absy's awesome.

Can I say, you're all looking VERY lovely today, and have you lost some weight?

AMNESTY. That's the word I'm looking for. A name amnesty please

Love, hugs and kisses
Absy

Ooh I have yes. I'm on Moroccan Oil now though.

ANYWAY we will have a look at these names - it might be easier if you mail us at [email protected] if you want us to look into it.

I like Clarins and posh hair products

RebeccaMumsnet likes string, mostly

Helen's all about power tools

Justine's very low-maintenance, can't go wrong with some Milletts camping wear or rubber gardening clogs

@RustyBear

Did it really only raise £200? If it did, I contributed 7.5% of that.....

No sorry Blush I'm sure it was more than that and of course for a cause that meant a lot to a lot of MNers and MNHQers

Nevertheless it wasn't (we found) the most efficient way of raising money

lol at OhChristFenton's reason 2

I'm pretty sure that we are never, ever going to have a nickname auction again, because it used up roughly 2375 billion hours of staff time and made about £200 (figures may be approximate)

Reassigning names is a leetle bit tricky, but we might be persuaded to look into it in return for the usual inducements.
