I was thinking of name changing. I chose shoedweller thinking of the "doesn't know what to do line" because I mostly read the stuff and feel really enlightened by you lot. Someone has since pointed out that the "whips them all soundly and sends them to bed" bit isn't such a good image.

[doh]

I used to be called Keith, so I'm not able to join this thread

flimflammum · 02/10/2008 09:56

Me

Thought about starting a blog and wanted it to be anonymous, but couldn't work out how to do a name change for it [slightly dumb emoticon].

Originally wanted my name without the 'mum' bit but it was taken. Now realise it's not a very cool name, but wtf...

WhereTheWildThingsWere · 02/10/2008 09:43

I started as 'mum2oandh' but I had the piss taken So I only have this.

Oh and an 'eel' variarion once.

NappiesGalore · 02/10/2008 09:43

i have over a hundred mn names in my history so, er, not me then.

Chequers · 02/10/2008 09:41

Why? Who cares?

beansmum · 02/10/2008 09:40

only for xmas
I don't care if having mum in your name offends people, I can't be bothered starting again.

EyeballsintheSky · 02/10/2008 09:40

My 'original' name was my actual name so I changed to this early on. Since then I have been me except for an easily identifiable pirate name. Haven't got the imagination to think of another name.

Me

VeniVidiVickiQV · 01/10/2008 22:59

And me.

eandz · 01/10/2008 22:58

me. i'm only on here though. and it's because my husband and i both post on here pretending to be one person, until i actually started making friends on here. so now we clarify who is writing what if we plan on making rl friends with an mn'er.

ilove · 01/10/2008 22:58

me! Not that I've had chance yet lol...

llareggub · 01/10/2008 22:58

I have. I posted under a different name when my DH first told me of his alcoholism. I think that's allowed though. I would never have posted under my "real" name because I really wasn't coping well at the time.

I'd never do it for trolling purposes, I haven't the inclination or the imagination.

PigeonQV · 01/10/2008 22:57

Oh definitely me.
