To not change my name because MNHQ is not 'entirely sure it works''

[JamRagRolyPoly]

Is this a normal request? And why do they care?

I'll do it if it makes them really happy though

?

has someone complained about it?

Sorry, what?

Quite like my name, I love jam roly poly and jam rag because I'm alway getting my damned period and been ttc for nearly 2 years

Lol! Your name is funeeeeee! I don't see the problem? As long as it is not racist, homophobic, etc, what's the problem? HQ needs to calm down!

I'm as baffled as you both!

FWIW I think there are worse names on MN but I find the phrase "jam rag" a bit yuk - too reminiscent of puerile teenage boys bullying girls who were on their period for me to find it amusing I'm afraid.

I think it is pretty vomitty but I don't really care.

That's weird, can't see anything wrong with your name, and there are definitely more offensive names that haven't been changed. Bizarre

I doubt MNHQ would ask you to change it unless there have been complaints. And I don't think they can force you to change it if you don't want to; AnyFucker will testify to that

MNHQ please explain?

There were complaints of my 'troll hunting' as I was a little blunt to a rape apologist on another thread and was standing up for the op. then they dropped in at the end about changing my name.

I know it's not a 'lovely' name and a bit gross. Maybe I'll make it just jamrolypoly? Any other ideas?

But your name clearly does work as you are posting here and now.

keep your name, unless you want a change?

i've just morphed into this one and trying it out on a few threads

I don't think itS bad. Are we coming out al netmums all of of a sudden?
We will all have to have cheery vom inducing nicknames.

jasmine I don't think they meant in a technical way

But I'm rubbish at thinking up names unchartered

I would inane that they have had a couple of posts saying people don't like it. They can't/won't/ don't want to tell you to change it, so have let you know that it isn't universally loved in order to let you consider that.

I suspect they were trying to be discreet and diplomatic but that moment has passed and they are now being asked to explain themselves.

You should do as you chose. Like SarahBellum it reminds me of thick and vulgar teenagers but others clearly find it funny. So do what you like.

Imagine. Not inane. Although that is possibly up for debate.

to be fair, I think MNHQ should be given a bit of a break especially in light of all the shit they are having to contend with at the minute.

OP, your name doesn't offend me.

Go for jamrolypoly. Jamragrolypoly makes me feel sick.

I don't like your name if I'm honest.

I don't like lots of names on here but wouldn't complain or ask anyone to change it. But I will change it completely this afternoon

Neither would I. But people do. But really, do what you like. People are only commenting on your name because you started a thread about it.
If you want to keep it, keep it.

Well, if you want to sound like a teenage boy then using the term jam rag is perfect.

Being a feminist is about raising consciousness, not lowering your own.
