Etiquette on names part 2- where have all these other tallulah's come from?

I did mention this on the other "etiquette" thread.. once the system has recognised that there is already a user by that name is there a way it could be set to stop someone just adding a number/ extra letter to create a too-similar name?

And/or a warning that too similar names cause confusion and should be avoided? (For ages I thought Marslady and MrsMars were the same person, for example).

In the last few months not only has a tallulahbelle started posting, but also lulatallulah, talulasmum and now a tallulah72. This latest one has started quite a contentious thread and isn't me!!!!! Any time anyone responds to any of these posters they just type tallulah... makes searching for mine more awkward.

I know I know, I'm being precious but it's really annoying!

MamaG · 17/10/2007 09:02

Just be NGalore then Galore - over time we wold accept you

nappiesLaGore · 17/10/2007 09:01

theres loadfs of nappy people on here.
and tbh, im sick to death of being known as a receptacle for shit.
but, sad as it is, i dont want to be anonymous either as sometimes my interraction on here is what keeps me sane.

and i reckon if i started a 'i want a new name threead' nobody would care and id be crushed

IAmAnAxeMurdererToo · 17/10/2007 08:55

Nope - it's just us two!

MamaG · 17/10/2007 08:55
