Someone has stolen my username.

I'm quite upset, I shouldn't be really.

I wouldn't be to bothered but they seem to post a lot more than me so are effectively making me the 'second' BumpandGrind.

Why would you pick a name of another member but just change the spelling slightly :(

Waves at BumpNGrind you arse Grin

Dwerf are you from Ashington?

WhoNickedMyName · 26/02/2014 18:44

N has posted much more than and, over a much shorter space of time, I say she gets dibs on the name!

Anonymai · 26/02/2014 18:53

Posting more doesn't mean you should get a name! Rewarded for being online more Shock

DorothyBastard · 26/02/2014 18:54

Yes my NN came from Coconutty's autocorrect of 'dirty bastard' and I love it!

Spottybra · 26/02/2014 19:01

I've name changed twice.

But if someone wants my polka dot bra status they hey..., maybe I could use a change to a lace one?

MardyBra · 26/02/2014 19:02

Hey, Spotty, don't you know that Bra is taken? Wink

Pancakeflipper · 26/02/2014 19:04

I have seen a few pancakes around of late.

One of them is far more amusing and witty than me so hoping I get mistaken for them.

i grew up in Ashington! Don't live there now! How exciting!

phantomnamechanger · 26/02/2014 19:05

I used to have a NN based on a name and there were so many variations I changed to this. There are so many phantoms around now it's like bloomin Rentaghost! shows age

greenfolder · 26/02/2014 19:07

have you asked nicely? I got asked nicely by one regular- i had changed my name and randomly picked the name of an insurer and a female bottom- the name turned out similar to hers. I changed of course.

phantomnamechanger · 26/02/2014 19:12

randomly picked the name of an insurer and a female bottom

ChurchillFanny? AdmiralVagina? go on , give us a clue - I'm too tired for riddles Grin

DCexpat · 26/02/2014 19:13

There are lots of expats on here, but it doesn't really confuse me.

phantomnamechanger · 26/02/2014 19:14

it confuses the rest of us well, me anyway Grin

LtEveDallas · 26/02/2014 19:20

AlpacaPicnic, NCISAddict - I like Kate Beckett from Castle or Rizzoli from Rozzoli and Isles for Eve (obvs need haircuts!), NCIS Abbey for Peabody and either NCIS LA 'G' or the Arrow guy for Rourke (but actually they'd prob be too young?).

Summerset should be Patrick Stewart (Jean Luc Picard)

Sorry for hijack OP Blush

WhoNickedMyName · 26/02/2014 19:20

AdmiralVagina... I'm quite liking that.

SheilasMinge? EsureFanjo?

Fairy1303 · 26/02/2014 19:23

Wish I was called EnsureFanjo!

MostlyCake · 26/02/2014 19:26

Hi CakeIsMyMaster!

FryingPanto I've never lived in Ashington, but my friend does and she pronounces dwarf as Dwerf. I am much posher than that, I'm from Newcastle ;)

mumteedum · 26/02/2014 19:59

CloverHeart · 26/02/2014 20:05

No other clovers spied yet..... flails elbows in preparation

mrspremise · 26/02/2014 20:08

I would be wellchuffed if someone picked up the other half of the comedy sketch my name comes from. WELL chuffed considering it unlikely though

HighlanderMam · 26/02/2014 20:11

Someone thought I was scottishmummy after a namechange.

ReindeerBollocks · 26/02/2014 20:17

I think I'm an original. Quite a few reindeers and a load of bollocks but that's MN for you Grin

I don't think if be too fussed unless the namesake was particularly horrid. If it's just a general user the. I doubt I'd even notice.
