You know the ones. You see their username and think, excellent, they’re here.

Who are your Mumsnet favourites? No smooching required, just appreciation. 😏

Everyone NCs so much nowadays your question isn't relevant.

For stating a man cannot become a women, a few years ago we could not say that.

AndyouWILLATONE · 02/10/2026 20:31

Perhaps. There's still a lot of users who haven't though.

My favourites are saraclara, MrsTerryPratchett and PyongyangKipperbang. Sensible, empathetic and reasonable all three.

Bluntness1000 I think she was called. Miss her!

I was just about to say her. Wouldn’t say I missed her, pretty sure we disagreed on a lot of stuff

She’ll still be on Mumsnet just under a different name

Hedgehogforshort · 02/10/2026 20:36

Boiledbeatle, hoardasaurus, Datun, redtoothbrush, hellefabore, arabella Scott Marie degournay to name but a few.

I liked AnyFucker and Worra (??? Liberty? May be misremembering)

the first thread I really got in to about 15 years ago was chocorasin (sp? ) a young mother whose partner had just abandoned her and was rebuilding her life - I hope she is still doing well

SecretSquirrelLoo · 02/10/2026 20:39

SilenceInside is outstandingly sensible and patient on the weightloss threads..

ChocolateCinderToffee · 02/10/2026 20:39

I hardly remember names from one thread to the next!

AndyouWILLATONE · 02/10/2026 20:39

Ahhh just remembered I love HermoineWeasley too

Agree.

I only really remember the absolute dickheads.

Denim4ever · 02/10/2026 20:41

This has made me realise that I don't take much notice of usernames. Plus wonder am I bad for not doing so. Glad to hear love for posters though. This place can be a lifeline, esp for insomniacs like me 💕

Dullhead · 02/10/2026 20:42

Is tunnocksteacakes still around?

I mean, yeah, I have a long list there too but didn't think the thread would last long if I posted that 😂

Does anyone else read a post and think this has to be so and so under a name change? Like you recognise their style of writing?

There’s one like that on the HE board. I’m not sure why she ever changes name as it’s not just her style, it’s the content. Which is fine of course.

Can you name change but get your old name back?

Thank you! I don’t change my name because I can’t think of any I like better than this one Dragon

Yes, you can

Yes, you can use different names on different threads but you can’t change name even to an old one in the middle of a thread any more, to prevent malicious sockpuppeting.
