Can we see other posters name changes?

On Mumsnet premium can we see a list of people's previous usernames, or is that only something admins can see? (Don't have premium and wondering if it's included)

Is this something you think should happen ?

I don't know, I thought if people didn't want to be found they would register fresh with a new username. I thought normal name changes were for a variety of less serious reasons if you keep the same login.

Defeats the object.

I don't think you should be able to do that personally . What would be the point of having options to change names . Mumsnet is popular for lots of mums ( no shit Sherlock ) and without the option , it wouldn't take long before you could be outed by people you know irl .

I hope people can't!

Wouldn't that defeat the object of name changing?
