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

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?

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
