How many MN 'personas' have you ever had?

229 replies

Norty · 03/05/2005 22:28

There's a another thread talking about how easily people can be deceptive on chat rooms, however most people seem to be saying "oh, but I think I'd spot someone fake", or "but I haven't the time/energy for multiple posts"

It got me wondering, "How many MN personas have people ever had".In other words, how many different MN nicknames have you EVER used?

My personal score is probably well towards 20 - over 5 years... some most regularly, some occasionally, and a few only once....

Oh, and Norty isn't Cod.

Are you fairly local, Norty?

SoupDragon · 04/05/2005 16:17

Codswollop was me, Norty. I've also had CrispyCodballs, CodkaAndOrange, CodBalls, CodBites, CodNCips, CrisypCodBaubles, MajorClanger, LadyDragonOfSoup, an awful lot of different Dragons (TheOldDragon is one of my faves...), several Twigletts, PrincessPeeHead.... I could go on. Having looked at the list, it may not be as many as 100 because some of them were ones I tried which were already taken.

If you go to the Member Profile screen, delete your nickname and click in the box, you might get a whole list of suggestions come up - they're the one's you've typed in on yourPC.

Well done Norty! Sorry, I didn't sponsor you as I didn't see the thread at the time

Used to be Snugs but needed a harder persona so swapped a little while ago.

Besides, when I googled Snugs I came up with an incontinence product. Not happy to keep that image in my head

Twiglett · 04/05/2005 14:22

no don't limit them (have started another thread), I would be very sad and would lose the ability to play silly games

Norty2 · 04/05/2005 14:18

Ah - Saint George!! About £2k in the end - did you sponsor me (who are you!!!???)

Janh · 04/05/2005 14:18

What do you think, Prufrock?

Prufrock · 04/05/2005 14:18

Could we not have our own name, an extra one for Xmas, and then the ability to change our name to anonymous (possibly followed by a number) so that it is obvious when somebody is a namechanger, but not obvious who they are. And don't let people "reserve" names like anonymous, so multiple people can use the same name

Congrats on doing the Great North Run Norty. How much did you raise in the end?

Norty2 · 04/05/2005 14:11

JanH -

Marina · 04/05/2005 14:09

But she went on to be someone else. Norty, you are norty! I'm going to leave it there I think Happy bamboozling!

Janh · 04/05/2005 14:08

I know what she's called now - it kind of follows on from motherofone....

Janh · 04/05/2005 14:08

Norty, please miss, I was listening, miss, I tried to tell them too!

(I don't think they want you to be motherofone!)

Codswallap · 04/05/2005 14:05

Or even me?

DirtyGirl · 04/05/2005 14:04

Or me perhaps?

TiredWife · 04/05/2005 14:03

Here you go - and it just shows that "what goes around, comes around in terms of threads on Mumsnet"

here

Now - what's weird, is that I know I posted on this thread, but I can't remember who as! (Was 'codswollop' you Soupy, or me? I'm sure I did that somewhere else as well....)
