I'm not actally Lynette, except on MN, and find it really weird when people address me as Lynette.

Your MN name is Mars.

If your MN name was talullahberryflatulatingflangebucket and I called you Mars, then you'd be right. But, you are Mars on MN, and Mars in RL.

If you were tallulahberryflatulatingflangebucket on here, I'd call you tally, or flangebucket or somesuch in RL instead.......

In fact, I may just call you flangebucket from now on anyway......

Nope!

Carmenere · 04/04/2008 23:31

Do you have another name Mars???

hoxtonchick · 04/04/2008 23:30

i like pizza too....

MarsLady · 04/04/2008 23:30

Nope!

That not calling them by MN names isn't strictly true is it VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVQV? You call me Mars!

Carmenere · 04/04/2008 23:29

I was thinking of pizza recently, I'm hungry for pizza........

Carmenere · 04/04/2008 23:29

You can just call me cheap plonk QV

BreeVanDerCampLGJ · 04/04/2008 23:27

Collision,

I will be in touch....

VeniVidiVickiQV · 04/04/2008 23:26

She's LGJ to those in the know

I dont call any MNers in RL by their RL name....just as well - i'd struggle with Carmeneres

Paninni · 04/04/2008 23:24

Pan is great, though, a tad aggrevated by the "funny" variations thereof, esp. for the n-th time...

ever tried googling your MN handle?? "Pan" has more than a couple of results.

collision · 04/04/2008 23:21

my dh never calls me by my real name....he always calls me colli!

Bree.....I want to join the pizza posse!

LOL - i was replying to the OP, not your post LGJ

BreeVanDerCampLGJ · 04/04/2008 23:19

Lack of organisation, does not imply dissolution of a quiche.

Remotew · 04/04/2008 23:18

Do you mean in RL as obviously no-one would know your real name on mumsnet. I do not know anyone else who posts on here.

I've tried to get my friend to join as she needs advice with her lo. Then again I like the anominity of it so I would have to name change often if I knew RL people that are on here.

VeniVidiVickiQV · 04/04/2008 23:17

not anymore

hoxtonchick · 04/04/2008 23:16

i find it strange to see hoxton written down in the outside world, makes me do a double take. i should get over it really.

BreeVanDerCampLGJ · 04/04/2008 23:16

We have a pizza posse [the names are secret, bit like a quiche]

We start off with RL names and within 10 minutes are referring to each other by MN names.

WigWamBam · 04/04/2008 23:14

The only time it freaked me out was when I was walking dd back from school, and someone I didn't recognise rolled down their car window and yelled "WigWam!" as they drove past me.

Here I am WWB and don't find it weird at all. Walking up the road was weird.
