to skim over posts by NEW MNers with bland names?

[MardyBra]

Names like Gemma82 or yummymummy1.

There's so much choice. Obviously I'm a sucker for a bad pun. But I love the variety of names on here - great song lyrics, obscure references that I feel compelled to go off and google (and never google again in the case of dragon butter), bizarre word combinations and so on.

There are some notable exceptions but normally I make an assumption that if a poster can't think of an interesting name then they won't have anything interesting to say.

Have you tried changing names recently? Every 'witty' name comes up as already taken, even if you have never seen a post under that name in several years of posting here.

I don't usually notice the names of general posters on a thread, but if I see the OP is called 'Jacksmummy183' or 'yummyhun' or 'specialprincess1982' and the thread is full of kisses and bubs and hubbykins xx then I'm unlikely to post!

OriginalPoster I like your thinking. Maybe we could have a suggestions list they could choose from?

Mitmoo, I'm very sorry for your deceased pussy but your post made me snort!

Lovebeingignored. Sorry love, far too intriguing.

I don't like the mummyto names

aw, hun, feel da luff?

Mitmoo - you do have a very similar name to a very well known poster, who is very much around even if you've not seen them.

The poster who told you wasn't an idiot, they were letting you know and do the right thing, but don't let that worry you eh?

orright usual?

lol

mummsieluvsherbabies 1 and 2 were already taken, - great minds think alike lol,

mommytotwolickleangels

I just need to get this straight.

New MNers with bland names = unworthy
New MNers with crap pun/I'm oh-so literate/look at me with my faux-poncery names = worthy
Old MNers with bland names = worthy? Or not?
Old Mners with crap pun/I'm oh-so literate/look at me with my faux-poncery names = worthy. Natch.

FFS. Life really is too short for this.

shit, sorry mummsieluvsherbabies12, I used the term wank to be..ironic!

Mardy - can you publish your criteria for ignoring names? Eg anything with a number; anything with 'mum' in'; anything too fluffy etc...

Crazynanna suggest someone with a bit of personality IMO.

It's sweet that your grandchildren have a nickname for you. (reminds me of my own eccentric gran).

Mummyforeverand a day Hiya, welcome to the madhouse!

it's a fine bun, my mate paul knocked it into shape for me

who has a name like mitmoo? WHO????????????????

leave mitmoo alone, she can call herself what she likes

thanx CrosswordAddict

is it always like this?

You want a grid? Decision making tree?

No, sometimes it gets silly

So you were ignored when you had a fluffy name and now you will do the same to others? Nice. You sound a bit of a tit actually. Like a kid in the playground.

Does my name pass muster mardy? I've had it for a while and I love it until a thread a few days ago had me googling it and it does not mean what I thought
