People that everyone knows on mumsnet. Do you remember posters names?

I have recently name changes due to being outed and I miss my old name. On the other hand, everyone has been SO lovely to me on my new name, so I haven't felt like a newbie. Just like I was tricking them some how.... Which is silly as I was pretty invisible under my old name too Grin

I have been wondering about eatshit and hoping she was ok, especially after what prompted her first name change. Stupid real life affecting mumsnet! It's not on I tell ya!

GColdtimer · 19/03/2015 20:31

I have been here about 8 years, never name changed. I was very briefly semi famous for a short while after I was physically pushed out of a shop whilst pg.

I recognise a lot of names but often can't remember whilst I normally agree with them or not. I think you have to post a lot to get famous and be on here a lot to recognise posters.

A few years ago there was a real MN royalty thing going on. It was awful. Like a load of school girls desperate to be in the cool gang by liking all the cool girls. Dreadful.

You have troll written you straight away if you are a new name Grin

ScrambledEggAndToast · 19/03/2015 20:35

Anyone else eagerly looking out for their name and it hasn't come up?

No. Just me then Hmm

DuchessofNorks · 19/03/2015 20:36

In agreement with OttiliaVonBCup

Stick anything to do with breasts in your name and you are onto a winner. I used to go unnoticed until I got the Norks out. Now people respond!

Tits FTW!

OttiliaVonBCup · 19/03/2015 20:37

Maybe I should NC to FFCup...

twirlypoo · 19/03/2015 20:38

I might make mine twirlybaps.... I can wrap them round my knees several times. It is pretty accurate ??

Marshy · 19/03/2015 20:43

Silicone baps here then.....thanks to the tamoxigang connection.

I'm not sure it's gonna be popular but I love them

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 19/03/2015 20:47

My 2 favourite names are BupCakesandCunting , who had NC but then went elsewhere I think.

And FuckMePinkandCallMeRosie

Wish I was more observant of posting styles.

Am worried about EatShitDerek now.

lomega · 19/03/2015 20:48

I remember AttilaTheMeerka (I think that's her name) because she gives stellar advice on the relationships board. And Salmontrutta because she's funny as heck

VivaLeBeaver · 19/03/2015 20:50

twofalls. I remember you being pushed out the shop. Cotswolds wasn't it? Did the shopkeeper get charged? Actually I seem to remember he did, or cautioned??

There are certainly names I recognise on MN. People who seem to crop up on the same threads as me, maybe due to similar interests.

Ludways · 19/03/2015 20:51

I never look at the names, only what they've written, even this thread! Lol

Lweji · 19/03/2015 20:54

Or do you mean infamous?

ispyfispi · 19/03/2015 20:57

Tiktok is the breastfeeding queen!

PortBlacksand2015 · 19/03/2015 20:57

I've been here on and off for 8 years too. Don't post very often these days but lurk a lot and recognise a lot of the more frequent posters. I used to hang out in Lissie's tea room a fair bit back in the day. Then as previous posters have said there was a time it all got a bit narky for me. It goes in cycles.

I was briefly famous when i saw myself and i wasn't there because i was in the garden where i was.

WasabiPeace · 19/03/2015 20:57

I used to be a somebody on here.

Now I'm enjoying the freedom of anonymity.

twirlypoo · 19/03/2015 20:59

I was briefly famous when I accidentally fake tanned my newborn baby Blush

He's 3 now, so it was a while ago!

GoooRooo · 19/03/2015 21:01

I recognise a lot of the names who are on the same ante-natal club thread as me.

I also recognise a lot of names from chat/aibu/relationships.

I am fairly new so no one will remember me. I don't know how to name change though so eventually I might be memorable.

SideOrderofChips · 19/03/2015 21:01

I know Worra, 70isalimit, Maryz to look at.

Also Reastie. And FuckyouChris

But i live on the Christmas board normally. I've just recently named changed.

ahbollocks · 19/03/2015 21:02

I have accidentally fake tannes my toddler, she helps me apply it :/
My favourite is onescoop ive name changed but she supported me on a thread last year and I agree with alot of what she posts

twirlypoo · 19/03/2015 21:06

ahbollocks I am separated from Ds dad, and when he was about 5 months old he wanted to come visit for the first time. To give myself a confidence boost I put fake tan on....then covered Ds in it when I was breastfeeding him Grin I told his dad it was a birth mark in the end! Haha!

Mrsjayy · 19/03/2015 21:10

MeeWhoo · 19/03/2015 21:11

Pipbin · 19/03/2015 21:11

Anyone else eagerly looking out for their name and it hasn't come up?

Nope, not just you.

TiggyD · 19/03/2015 21:28
