I've been part of this local tight-knit volunteering group for about a year now. Recently, there was a change in 'leadership' which is fine. I have, however, been told by her (twice!) to change my email address (it's listed in the private group listing) as it looks 'rude'!

My email address is simply firstnamelastname, with my first name being probably the most popular shortened variant of a fairly popular name. In her eyes, it contains nothing but 2 bad words which 'gives the wrong impression'. Surely people aren't that daft to not realise that it's just my name, and a well-known one at that?

I'm gobsmacked by the ridiculousness of it all. AIBU?

One of DS's friends at school was Tim Watson..... school email [email protected]!

That was his email address for 7 years though and wasn't changed.

Is your name Geraldine Rowler, or [email protected]?

It's imperative that more information is supplied.

Does she want you to change your name by deed poll too?

How can you be in anyway unreasonable for using your own name???
