Those threads are only fun when your name is interesting. Mine would be like:

Rebecca, Sarah, Julia, Emily, Jennifer, Jane, Mary...

Yes, one of those is right.

My surname is boring, too, but also annoying. The number of 'hilarious' people who've asked 'And are you a (my surname)?' It's fairly obvious I'm not.

ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 31/08/2016 11:27

being. Mine is on your list!

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 31/08/2016 11:28

My surname is also pretty boring.

So is mine Jess Wink

My name is the same as DP's DSis. Makes get together annoying.

ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 31/08/2016 11:35

being. I know what you mean - I've met and worked with so many people who share my name. You just don't feel 'special' do you?!

I remember a couple of threads back, someone with the username 'Jessica' briefly poked her head in - I felt ridiculously territorial!

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 31/08/2016 11:42

Yes, I know that feeling.

What do you reckon the chances are that our not RL names are the same? Grin

ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 31/08/2016 11:47

It's possible, but I'm thinking you're a fair bit younger than me - mine was (too) popular in the seventies. It has five letters!

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 31/08/2016 12:08

PMd you.

OP posts:
ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 31/08/2016 12:13

Oh hang on - is the name you mentioned your name?

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 31/08/2016 12:20

In the PM? No.

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 31/08/2016 12:33

You know, I reckon people could easily work out who I am if they piece together all of the little bits of information I have given out on MN since I joined... Confused

OP posts:
ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 31/08/2016 12:38

being. I know! A certain well known lady on this thread did PM me in my early days to be careful; I was giving that much away, I may as well have added a photo!

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 31/08/2016 12:44

Oh dear Jess. It's hard not to give stuff away. Our conversation is so free that I don't even notice half of it. Plus there are so many of us on here that I often forget who said what.

I too have a boring common for my age name. And middle name.

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 31/08/2016 12:47

Did I mention it in my earlier comment cc?

OP posts:
carbcraver · 31/08/2016 12:48

No being

ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 31/08/2016 12:50

Hmmm, carb (mind whirs)

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 31/08/2016 12:53

I have sent you a guess.

OP posts:
ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 31/08/2016 12:54

Hee, hee! Why am I finding this so much fun?

carbcraver · 31/08/2016 12:57

Nope being
It's quite a good game!

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 31/08/2016 12:57

Even though I now know two names, you will both still be Jess and Portia forever. Even if I met you in not RL, I would call you that. Grin

OP posts:
carbcraver · 31/08/2016 12:57

I only have 3 mins left of my lunch break. Before work gets in the way Grin

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 31/08/2016 12:58

Hmm... How old are you cc?
