Do you recognise any posters usernames on here?

I’ve been on here about a year or so and had about 3/4 different usernames but I’ve had this one for the longest....

I recognise a handful of posters usernames. Some for good reason others not so 😂 but it’s interesting given how many people are on here.

I suppose how catchy/different the username is to me, how frequently we are in the same threads and whether we have agreed/disagree in the past, if they’ve been helpful etc... all play a part.

So my list of user names I recognise on here.... (some of them I can’t remember exactly but I know if I see them so they won’t be on the list)

LyinWitchinWardrope (probably not spelt that right)
Bluntness100
ilovesooty
C8H10N4O2
Gwynfnder (that’s totally wrong but again I’d recognise it)
AlternativePerspective

There’s definitely more but my mind has literally gone blank!!! I’ll add them as I remember. The ones above are in my mind because I’ve seen their posts recently.

A handful of oldies, I've been here a long time, or someone who posts a lot. As a rule no though because I don't usually read the user name.

Neonprint · 10/04/2021 12:34

3 I think

Bluntness
Any fucker
Mrs Terry pratchet

I think because the first posts a lot and the other 2 just stuck in my mind.

Does that mean they're mumsnet famous?!

SpiceRat · 10/04/2021 12:38

Yes, a handful. Generally, not for positive reasons.
Yup, I’ve had some lovely posters help with things and I can’t remember their names. But I do remember those who are often inflammatory for inflammatorys sake.

SignMyStookie · 10/04/2021 12:38

@ShowOfHands I remember you from back in the day!

SignMyStookie · 10/04/2021 12:41

And @Cocolapew my DD named her dog this and I immediately thought "I know a MN poster called that!"

PattyPan · 10/04/2021 12:45

Some have been mentioned, two haven’t - SchrodingersImmigrant (which I think is a great name!) and Xenia

Fame at last! DH is going to have "blethered on MN to mild and lukewarm occasional response" written on my gravestone.

Cocolapew and I are in a v exclusive club

MeadowHay · 10/04/2021 12:47

I usually just remember the first part of the username not any numbers etc so can't tag people but my list is:
Daffodil
PerfectPeony
Fluffycloundland
SnuggyBuggy
Simon(JT is it?)
AnyFucker
Bluntness
SoupDragon
Xenia

Chunkymenrock · 10/04/2021 12:53

I remember the great names such as stealthpolarbear, worraliberty, and the legend that is Piglet John!

realunicorn · 10/04/2021 12:55

I've been here ten years over various life stages and had various name changes. Probably due another one really Grin

I recognise most of the names already mentioned.

pigletjohn is the noteable username I'd like to add to the list.

SignMyStookie · 10/04/2021 12:56

@ShowOfHands I think I may have mentioned you before in a Fave MNers thread 😂 I could certainly expand your group so it's not just you and Coco but I'm not naming posters that haven't posted on here, someone will come along and call me a twat and a suck up and I'm far too sensitive for that 😳

SignMyStookie · 10/04/2021 12:58

@ShowOfHands Please ask DH to include Stookies Fave Poster on that epitaph 🤣

Cocolapew · 10/04/2021 13:00

@SignMyStookie

And *@Cocolapew* my DD named her dog this and I immediately thought "I know a MN poster called that!"
Fame at last! 😁 very exculsive Showy unless you live in NI
Daffodil21 · 10/04/2021 13:06

@MeadowHay is that me by any chance? I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing 😂

InTheNightWeWillWish · 10/04/2021 13:06

@dontgobaconmyheart sorry, I’m going to be on the look out for your username on future threads now because your username made me chuckle Grin

As you can tell, I pay attention to the usernames that make me laugh or smile and notice them around the boards but don’t pay attention to other people.

PaperMonster · 10/04/2021 13:10

I wonder if Ilovesooty is the same person who was on the TES forum under that name Hmm

Foolintherain · 10/04/2021 13:11

I recognise most names mentioned on this thread. There's also few names I recognise because I always eyeroll at their posts.

DiscustinHunAmFummin · 10/04/2021 13:14

Not quite what you asked but I did notice someone using one of my old usernames on Tattle.

Probably a coincidence but I did think I hope they don't think that's me! Then realised nobody would know and it wouldn't even matter! ConfusedSmile

@SignMyStookie you're a suck up and a twat (saves somebody else gathering their frigid ire long enough to jab at their keyboard).

Love your username BTW.

Yes! Hi Grin I think you just seem to be an active user atm and we must look at a lot of the same threads so I see your username a lot.

GloomyWaters · 10/04/2021 13:26

@AnyFucker - a straight talker and fantastic relationship advice, I always wait for them to add to a post Smile

CatRamsey · 10/04/2021 13:26

Most I recognise have been mentioned already, but I always love Eckhart's and RedToothBrush's posts.

Also I always remember RoxaneMonk because hers were the first threads I read when I joined mumsnet last year.

CatRamsey · 10/04/2021 13:27

Oh and the best username I've ever seen is LabiaMinoraPissusFlapus

MeadowHay · 10/04/2021 13:27

I've just remembered another one, Ghost something? Haven't seen her for ages though. Oh and Becca1994 or something like that. There's probably loads more but it's difficult to recall off the top of my head. ChristmasSeacow but I think she name changed ages ago...

Loyaultemelie · 10/04/2021 13:28

Quite a few, some for not great reasons, some for interests similar to mine and some just because I've been around for a few years now under this and a couple of name changes and an old account I forgot my login details from before that again
