to be a bit miffed that someone on mn............

[2shoescoveredinhearts]

has a name so like mine.......

I’ve noticed that there is a LadyDanburysHat on here and I THINK we have been mistaken for each other in the past. I certainly had someone make a very pointed comment about something they thought I’d said…. when it had been Hat not me….

I feel your pain, a new mum on our year group WhatsApp group, has my actual real life name (unique name and I’ve only ever met one other previously). I’ve been on said group for 7 years, she rocks up a couple of months ago and turns out, is a bit of opinionated twat, so I’m the one who has to name my change on the group, so people don’t think it’s me! Outrageous behaviour, this name stealing malarkey!!

Or even, change my name!!

Who cares?

I hadly doubt mam followed by numbers is unique, on other forums I have litrally used a random concoction of letters not spelling anything (usually taken from a past postcode or car reg) and regularly found people only 1 letter off.

Its never caused an issue, its hardly like they are stealing my identity.

it does matter because "active conversations" is now peppered with threads from 2007. The username of the deleted poster is a bit of a clue that this is just malicious and time wasting - for the people who respond in good faith and for MN who have to read all the reports and delete the posts.
