to feel odd that after taking a break from MN I return to find there are two new users with very similar names to mine?

[cupcakes]

Namely, cuppycakes and cupcakesgalore.

Nothing personal against them but it bothers me.

So, how unreasonable am I?

I don't think so! Seriously lost here.

And I don't recognise half the user names out there. I've only been away for a month or so.

There's a cupcakes98 or something too - just be proud you are the original and therefore best!

go for a hard brutal name instead of sweet and soft

Don't forget about ME!

Maybe something more like FightMeNow, or Iwillwrestleyou, or RaahhhComeonBastards.

I'm Boco by the way, quite new, not met i don't think. [firm handshake / armwrestle]

you never used to be plural did you?

I always thought of you in the singular

Who are these cupcake-like imposters?

My name is annoyingly sweet and possibly cloying. But am reluctant to change now.

Greetings to Boco.

yes, boco, we really need some harder names on mn

yes

always the plural. Because cupcake was taken. ahem.

pph - sorry I never got back to you about your ebay auctions. That was the weekend we lost our internet connection.

all those domestic goddesses out there

change it to fray bentos

There have always been a few variations on beans but I like being related to other MNers!

I think it is... offensive basically. Someone becomes Oblomov....es / 69 / whatever.
Is it o.k. ?
NO.
