See we both have very similar names....

I have been around for 3-4 years and have built up a bit of a good rapor etc with fellow mner's.

There is a new(ish..?) mner with a similar name and already there is evidence of confussion..ie others leaving feedback for me but spelling it the way of the other mn iykwim...

I have pointed this out (nicely) to the other mn and have had negative replies iykwim..

Just thought it would be easier for everyone if we had differences to tell us apart as im sure she doesn't want to be mixed up as me and vice versa..???

aibu..?

Lou, I actually queried if the loulou33 poster was you on another thread, was going to offer my rather astounded congrats to your pregnancy

I don't think you're being unreasonable tbh, it's hard ebough to remember everyones names as it is with so many posters, I still get mamazon and madamez a bit confused sometimes and theyre quite different posters.

cliquey..? well if thats the case then surely all threads are as we all want people on our side..?!

Honestly I didn't want an argument or to oust this person but suppose I wanted to show the confussion....

Surley it wasn't hard to find them..!!

Can't see what the problem is myself....

VictorianSqualor · 18/02/2008 14:58

How is it cliquey? It's a good question, if someones name is very similar should they change it, I think if it's a new poster then yes.

VictorianSqualor · 18/02/2008 14:59

Oh, I meant to add, not to be shitty, but if there is a feedback forum going on with posters names surely they need to be quite different?

Shhhhestheone · 18/02/2008 14:59

Ssh..

Shhhhtheoriginal · 18/02/2008 15:00

ok then..this..?

Ssh · 18/02/2008 15:01

What's the feedback forum about posters names? Shouldn't you be dealing with it in there if there is one?

Shhhhtheoriginal · 18/02/2008 15:01

feck, im confussed which is me now.. ..!

Shhhhtheoriginal · 18/02/2008 15:02

No the feedback forum is for feedback on sellers/buyers..Not vreally place to bring it up ALTHOUGH I did note it on my feedback bit iykwim....

BananaPudding · 18/02/2008 15:03

Hmm. Did not realize there was a name feedback forum. How strange.

I suppose this means that "VictorianBanana" is out of the question

Ssh · 18/02/2008 15:03

Ooooooh...Well do Mumsnet admin have a rule about this kind of thing? If not you may just have to suck it up.
