Makes me a bit

she's only been here for 2 days and has posted heaps and I've been here for years and years and only post a bit so no-one knows me

i'm sure she's lovely and it's not like it's her fault, but I'm annoyed

(have asked her politely if she'd like to change her name...now she probably hates me)

AIBU?

one off. He hasnt done so for ages and age.. over a year i think, perhaps even 2. He was very tired, when i went up and checked on him he said he was half awake and said he didnt need wee. Bless him. I think cos he needed one and dreamt he had gone downstairs only when he got a bit wet did he wake and realise he wasnt awake before iyswim.

MamaD! Its fine, we'll be twins

but I'll be like Jessica off of Sweet Valley high who all the boys fancy and you'll be geeky Elizabeth natch!

MamaD · 18/07/2007 16:42

You know, I'm that sad that I've just had to google 'Sweet Valley High' to check out who I am and it sounds like I really am Elizabeth!!!!! (I'm such a wimp these days)

Mind you - isn't it usually the geeky one that ends up shocking everyone with a teen pregnancy or huge alcohol fuelled rampage.....? hehehe - looking forward to it!

I know what you mean tassis - theres a load of people with kitty in their name too

Usually it doesn't bother me but I have thought about changing my name but have no imagination to come up with anything decent.

Penpen · 18/07/2007 22:21

Why not be flattered that someone has almost the same name. I'm sure it's not intentional! I am new on here and had a job getting a name at all, they're all taken!

I chose my moniker on the basis of it being my childhood nickname. It was before I had joined the site in any capacity- I joined to ask a question about bleeding in pregnancy and was in quite a state at the time. It seems that I inadvertently picked a nickname very similar to several people already here (DuchessofNorksBride for one), but then, it is a not uncommon common noun, just a little more French. I don't think that it should be an issue unless people go around deliberately impersonating or stalking their near namesakes. As others have pointed out that in real life people have names that are identical or similar to other peoples'. Nothing to get too hot under the collar about. It happens.

compo · 22/09/2008 19:40
