Miffed that somebody has taken my mnn?

I know first world problems and all that but it doesn't feel right that there is another Regina out there for all but one letter. Then to be lied to about how long they have had it (thank you AS).

Totally prepared for lots of YABU get over it sad lass type posts. It's just that I like my nn and now I will have to change it.

Bazinga is Sheldon's way of saying "tricked ya!"

it's taken.
I've tried, as I wanted to use baZINGa at some point

You can't own the name - you didn't make it up - phoebe buffay made it up.

ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 10/08/2015 17:04

and it wasn't even her.
it was the writers of FriendsWink

are you still looking for a name?
you could go for VirginaPhalange or go for what was probably the best pun in Friends Blursula
Grin

Hello zing

ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 10/08/2015 18:44

unacceptable OP
why wouldn't you listen to me?! Blursula is miles better!

StanSmithsChin · 10/08/2015 20:17

It was 1am and I was still sporting a stolen name ..I panicked

ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 10/08/2015 20:37

come on then, panic over, do the right thing
go BlursulaGrin

ReginaBlitz · 10/08/2015 20:37

Love how the op twisted this into a joke about finding a user name, after making herself look a complete twat. To the posters joining in on her oh so hilarious quest for a new name agree that it's right to pm someone giving them crap over something so pathetic? Was I the next Regina on your reggie hit list? Hmm

ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 10/08/2015 20:41

who sent PMs to whom?
about what?
who has a hit list?

ReginaBlitz · 10/08/2015 20:46

Reggie flange 2 (the op)sent reggie flange 1 a message asking her to change her name! She also flamed her on another post.

NickiFury · 10/08/2015 20:48

She apologised, on both threads. The thread moved on. Quite positive really I thought. What would you have happen now then. Tell people not to suggest alternative names?

EygptianSnow · 10/08/2015 20:49

Zzzzl Hmm

AnnieOnAMapleLeaf · 10/08/2015 20:50

Meh. Just choose a new name. There are a million different versions of "Annie" on MN; some came before me, some after.

ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 10/08/2015 20:51

ah, I see

I thought it was more serious , like someone was given "an offer they couldn't refuse"

NickiFury · 10/08/2015 20:58

She has chosen a new name and apologised but apparently it's not enough Annie. I'm interested to know what would be?

You'll be needing to name change again after that I am thinking Stan.

AnnieOnAMapleLeaf · 10/08/2015 21:00

Oh man this is getting confusing. The second Regina should not have needed to apologize. But major respect to her for having the good grace to do so. I think I am now firmly on Regina#2's team.

StanSmithsChin · 10/08/2015 21:04

Many thanks Annie.

I was very much out of line and apologised on both threads and set about name changing. I was genuine in my apology and still am. I realised quickly that I had acted like a knob but that isn't enough for some who appear to want me to beg for forgiveness.

I like Stan Niki I think I shall keep it Grin
