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

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

Yes, you can

You are right. I don't know why I read that question and interpreted it as leave mumsnet completely and come back with another name 🙃

Not sure. Doubt it.

If you go to change your name, all your previous names are there as options too. I've got about 30.

I always loved anyfucker and still wonder how red toothbrush is. I’ve been around a long time but rarely post. Mumsnet opened my eyes and gave me clarity to leave my abusive marriage many, many years ago now

I know. I totally read the question and made up something else in my mind. I have had very little sleep recently in my defence!

Yeah I don’t really recognise regulars any more. Back in the Cod / Dolly days I knew lots of names. Who was that brilliant feminist high achieving single mum who just used to tell everyone never to be financially dependent on a man?

Xenia! She briefly reappeared a few years ago, but I haven't seen her since.

It’s MrsTerryPratchett for me too! Kind of sad to find out it’s not just me, thought it was a special connection 😂

Nah, I don't like this little faves game. It's icky and yukky. Blowing smoke up peoples backsides, and being sycophantic, and risking making people feel like shit if they're not mentioned.

I don't even notice peoples usernames. I know I have had good bantz with some people, and big arguments with others, but I can't remember any of the names!

As has been said, too many people name change too often, to get any real connection with anyone.

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

You don't need to play the game.

Thanks for taking the time to feedback though!

Yes - there’s only so many names and there won’t be any brand new ones, alas.

I don’t always notice or remember names tbh but more likely to if it’s a TP one - I wonder if the same applies to other genre names?
