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

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

You could login and log out under different email?

Far too old for that sort of malarkey and too law-abidingHalo

How would mumsnet know it was duplicate though?

See, perhaps I'm stupid. But when people do this and mention reddit I don't understand! Do mumsnetters use the same usernames on reddit or something?

No. It is a joke. Read LuckyHazelFox's posts in Site Stuff and you'll understand!

No.

OK. What am I missing then?

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?

Not really anymore. I think there was a lot more uniqueness and individual writing style before ai. An increasing amount of threads and replies have the same written by ChatGPT or whatever ai type of vibe and follow the same format and flow.

Not all, but more and more.

I can think of a few ways around it...

I can’t keep up with who’s got what opinions, there are far too many people! I only look at a username when someone says “I love your username!” to someone else.

Both have died now but I think about them quite often: TwitterQueen and WhatWouldLeslieKnopeDo.

Edited

I knew Leslie irl, and she was every bit as fabulous as on here.
Rest in peace and rise in glory, dear girl.

Ilovewhippets · 02/10/2026 21:17

I remember someone called Stratters but I haven’t seen her for ages.

TheChosenTwo makes me stop and think.
Oh you bad kitten (weather) and the other poster, whose name evades me, who comments on the weather.
Ginasevern makes a lot of sense to me
mondaytosunday - wise
My absolute fave is Wookiemustgo - I’ve publicly acknowledged her wisdom but I name change as often as the weather which is one of the beauties of MN.

AndyouWILLATONE · 02/10/2026 21:25

Never noticed Wookiemustgo

I was thinking about Somerville today, would love to know how she is doing.

AnyFucker was often very good with the advice.

BewilderedPiskie · 02/10/2026 21:26

AnnelovesGilbert because obviously she's a kindred spirit (or the race that knows Joseph if you're more a House of Dreams, Captain Jim fan).

You’re missing a trick. She’s wonderful.
