How about you?

OP posts:

Probably 100-150
Love a good name change
Often used to think up one whilst stopped at traffic lights on the way to work but have moved and the route has changed so I need a new inspirational place to think them up

Crunched · 12/12/2021 00:13

Only this one...and I choose it during the credit crunch (2007).

  1. Should I get out more? Suddenly feel like I'm missing out!
JockTamsonsBairns · 12/12/2021 00:23

One, but only because I have no idea how to name change. It must be easy, pp do it all the time, often within seconds, but it's not obvious to me.

RoRoYoYo · 12/12/2021 01:32

Just checked and I've had 67. Not sure how long I've been on here - at least 16 years I think. I kept the same username for years however it feels like it's too risky now to become identifiable and be recognised by someone in RL or find your thread printed in the Daily Mail. I change my name every few weeks now.

echt · 12/12/2021 03:40

I've banked a ton of GCs and used about 10.

I use my present one 99% of the time.

I NC, and rarely, because a particular post is directly revealing of my RL.

Wildrobin · 12/12/2021 03:46

I’ve had 24. I wish there was an option to clear one’s history as I don’t like leaving a footprint for some reason and also would love to clear them all and start afresh!

runningwithscissorsx · 12/12/2021 05:04

20 since 2006!!! :-)

pollywollydoodler · 12/12/2021 05:37

3 , I forgot my login details 🙄

EpicGem · 12/12/2021 05:43

11 including this one.

SantasGoodLittleGirl · 12/12/2021 05:48

Half a dozen on this registration and around 30 before.

JakeyRolling · 12/12/2021 06:01

19 - but about half of those were name changes for sensitive threads.

ChuckleFucks · 12/12/2021 06:06

Over 150 Grin but that's over what, 16 years or so?

Igmum · 12/12/2021 06:30

One

KateInHappyland · 12/12/2021 06:42

A few! I couldn’t think of one on the spot when I signed up, so just used my initials and the number 22 because that’s the year I’m hoping we welcome a LO.

Then I decided it was too short/simple - like you, I love a good username! My brain ‘solved’ this by swapping the initials for my first name. Yep, creativity right there.

Then I realised people may think the number was my age (nothing against 22yos, I’m just in my 30s!) and changed it to my birth year.

Then I finally picked an actual username and now it’s this. Yes, after the toys. Grin

felulageller · 12/12/2021 07:06

About 40 I'd guess. Can't check as I've had accounts through at least 4 email addresses.

I'd love to know if some of the women around now are old names I remember.

It feels much more anonymous now than 10 years ago.

Mybalconyiscracking · 12/12/2021 07:08

Ever so often I get banned, then I have to make anew account.Grin

Oblomov21 · 12/12/2021 07:18

Only a few, I use this one always, but change the year on the end, each year. Plus a few name changes for difficult threads, and one or two festive babe changes, but that's it.

Chunkymenrock · 12/12/2021 07:21

2

bumblingbovine49 · 12/12/2021 07:36

2 in 16 years GrinGrin

I can never think of any so don't bother to change it

Mydogisagentleman · 12/12/2021 07:41

2 in probably 18 years.
I would have gone back to kreecherlivesupstairs but couldn’t remember passwords etc

StormyCornishSeas · 12/12/2021 09:38

7ish at a quick count

DingADingDong · 12/12/2021 09:46

About 200, I name change all the time after this site was hacked

Sparklingbrook · 12/12/2021 09:50

On my username history there are 29 names.
Most of them are one off changes to post once using that name as a bit of an in joke on a thread.
There's a few dating back to the Secret Santa MN used to do so we all had a number and went by those on the threads relating to that.
A couple are from when we got hacked and I thought I'd better namechange as I didn't want my front door bashed in, but that didn't last long, someone spotted it.
So since I joined it's been this one , I don't think i could be bothered to namechange and keep up with it.

IAmHereForTheFood · 12/12/2021 09:53

110 Blush … on this account. Some were accidental though as I was a victim of fat thumbs.

I got locked out of an account I made with a little used gmail email address, no idea how many I had on that one.

I do wish @MNHQ would give us the ability to delete the older names off the list and just show the last 10 names or something (keeping all previous usernames in a separate bit). It gets really messy having such a long list.

Does anyone know what the maximum amount of times you can NC is?
