I like changing mine cos I'm fickle.

southeastastra · 29/03/2008 21:52

fryalot · 29/03/2008 21:52

LarryVeestAdamAntSpawnChorus · 29/03/2008 21:55

I like being AdamAnt best.

Hiya 2shoes
You obviously could not be referring to me as i do tell people (eventually!).

2shoes · 29/03/2008 21:56

shreksprincessfiona · 29/03/2008 22:08

Exactly, Squonk.

I get the mummy number names muddled up too.

And all the monkeys, kittys and peachys

GentleOtter · 29/03/2008 22:31

I killed too many threads and am a Gemini. We are fickle you know.

GodzillasPimplyBumcheek · 29/03/2008 22:39

Have you gone 2shoes? I was kidding, you aren't really a bully

deeeja · 29/03/2008 22:46

I could easily name change, no-one notices me anyway.
I quite fancy a change most of the time, mine is so much like my real name, but not exactly it. Sometimes I worry that the odd person might have found out who I am.
But thinking of a new name is so tiring......

2shoes · 29/03/2008 23:00

oh deeja I reconize your name. please don't change it

OP posts:
chipmonkey · 30/03/2008 00:01

I like it if I namechange and someone recognises me anyway! But I don't namechange much! Too much hassle!
I always recognise FAQ, no matter what she changes to!

ichanged after nearly 4 years
nab you dont announce you have name changed

EachPeachPearMum · 30/03/2008 00:27

Hey! Less of the peachy's!

am that qs was ssn- I did wonder where she was, and I loved that name...always had me singing in my head (or maybe thats why you changed )

LaComtesse · 30/03/2008 00:37

I've namechanged recently but I don't suppose anyone even noticed .

One poster did pick up on a possible link between differently-named but related topic postings which I was quite impressed with. I didn't acknowledge her though cos I wanted to remain a bit more incognito.

EachPeachPearMum · 30/03/2008 00:57

yeah- who were you?
I only noticed you, because of your new name...
is what one of my c ars was called....

QuintessentialShadows · 30/03/2008 08:15

But it is actually quite hard to notice, there are lots of regulars and erm, irregulars, new members, seasonal name changes, and "name changes for fun", and it seems people namechange quite often.

I picked up on Flight being FA, but did not quizz her on it.

I have no idea who you are Kindersurprise, but you seem familiar in your posts (hint please? do I know you?)

EachPeachPearMum
I deregistered. Did not want to crawl to tech and beg for my old name back.... Now I have learnt to put yellow police tape around the "deregister button", at least I hope I have learnt. As this time I came back in Plural, next time, I dont know how to tweak the QS. Thing is, you loose ALL your posting variations once your dereg.... Not recommended.

Dalrymps · 30/03/2008 12:55

I'm considering a name change... my name too much like my rl name, only problem is, I don't want to do it to become anon, want people to know who I was. How do I do that? I know I can announce it when I do it but poeple will forget or might not see the announcement?

fryalot · 30/03/2008 12:58

you could do it in stages... ie: you could be NewNameUsedToBeDalrymps or DalrympsNewName, then after a while drop the Dalrymps bit.

Or you could just change your name, but after every post put in bracket (I used to be Dalrymps btw)

Dalrymps · 30/03/2008 13:01

he he, I like the bracket idea although it might be a bit off a faff and poople might think i'm a bit strange lol. Only been on here since oct 07 so not sure many people recognise my name anyway , they might just say 'who's Dalrymps'...
