To change my nn every five minutes?!

Well, OK maybe not literally every five minutes. Grin
I'll choose a name, then get fed up of it after a few days then change it again. Anyone else a prolific name changer like me or do you like to stay the same?!

Loving my new name at the minute. Definitely keeping it for a while. Grin

I stay the same.
Did change one weekend to post personal stuff about DH,with his permission,then changed back again after the weekend.Thats it.
More or less given up bothering about whether anyone will recognise me from RL.

I've not name changed yet. From what I see it's quite a unique feature of this forum along with the lack of avatars and signatures I feel a lot more in cognito here!

I had a nn for 18 months, then another for a few months, now I'm trying on names for size.
I miss my usual name, but I think I was a bit too outable.

I have a regular name which I use most of the time and try not to give too much personal information (e.g. location, job, specific occurences etc). I also have other aliases which I slip into occasionally for stuff that might out me. This is an "outable" name.

I've changed quite a few times too.

I think it is rather pointless and prefer continuity.

I've namechanged a few times.

I generally prefer continuity, which is why i usually stick to one name. I change when I am posting something recognisable about myself because I don't want to be recognised for work reasons.

Iamsparklyknickers · 21/07/2012 13:18

I only name change when inspiration hits but then seem to keep it for ages. Haven't had any deeply recognisable things to post but would definitely go all scarlet pimpernel then.
