Unused talk names

24 replies

MissPecksniff · 22/10/2006 17:25

I want to change my talk name (well, I have actually) but the one I wanted was taken and yet I can't find any posts at all under that name.

Is there anyway that MNHQ can release any names which have never been used or not used for a long time?

Ah, i see....you can ask for previous posts to be deleted if there is anything you dont want him to see.

No VVV! He told me straight away he had joined. he wanted to post under my name! Yeah right.

He is a very occasional poster but does lurk from what I can gather.

Can be found in environment, current affairs type threads

VeniVidiVickiQV · 23/10/2006 22:34

LOL! What is DH's posting name? He isnt DontTellTheWife, is he?

OK, so what shall I do? Should I contact HQ directly to see if unused names can be released for others to use? Or is there some way I can prevent dh seeing what I've been looking at or posting on? (perhaps I shouldn't have raved about MN so much to him!)

Have gone off this name already.

No need to apologise at all!

It's just that dh has started to post on mumsnet and I think he may know my talk name if he sees it. Am a bit annoyed actually.

I wanted to have the sister's name.

I know MissPecksniff is fictional, but did you used to be fictional?
