Maybe I am wrong.
But maybe I am not.
It just seems that if you get to know people on MN then what would you change your name for and not tell anyone?
Like I said. Seems very 'Sneaky Sneaky' to me.

What do you think the sneaky sneaky reason is ?

(ever so slightly puzzled)

LadyOfRoffle · 22/10/2008 21:59

I used to be LadyOfWaffle... although I am not sure anyone is too bothered

Monkeytrousers · 22/10/2008 22:00

S1ur · 22/10/2008 22:01

I personally chnged my name because i think XP was reading my posts. If i was to post who i was then he would find out! Not for any sneaky reason!

KnickKnack · 22/10/2008 22:02

I've changed my name several times over the years. Usually when I feel I've revealed too much that might identify me. Dont think its a big deal really.

Aitch · 22/10/2008 22:02

maybe you are wrong

mooog · 22/10/2008 22:02

Just give me an answer. Unless of course you are one of the sneaky ones

I usually namechange after I have offended a significant number of people.

Or after a few too many sherbets, I post something completely stoopid.

Monkeytrousers · 22/10/2008 22:03

Yes yes

Can I be one of the sneeky ones, miss?!

Shit, forgot to change my name before posting.

hecAteTheirBrains · 22/10/2008 22:03

maybe you change your name cos you are bored with the old one but you are really arrogant and you assume everyone will still know who you are.

ahem.

I used to be MyTwoPenceworth!

BoysAreLikeZombies · 22/10/2008 22:03

Ask me the question again, I don't quite get it

DecayingDisaster · 22/10/2008 22:05

bollocks. maybe people start out having an ordinary one, then fancy a change to a more amusing dynamic one. like me

LaTricoteuse · 22/10/2008 22:05

I changed name just to be republican on a royalty thread and am liking it for a bit. Will go back to old name soonish though.

It's quite nice and a bit strange but no hidden sneaky motive.

Never namechange for bitchery.

mooog · 22/10/2008 22:06

Thankyou and my dont some of you get overexcited with a simple question!!!!

OP posts:
KnickKnack · 22/10/2008 22:06

oh I used to like my2penceworth...wondered where she went to!!

Plonker · 22/10/2008 22:07

I get the feeling i'm missing something here, but here goes ...

I have name changed.
I got bored of the first one.
I discovered that someone had the same name but different spelling of my second one.
This is my third one.

I like it ...for now

No sneaky intentions here.

PsychoAxeMurdererMum · 22/10/2008 22:07

I have namechanged when I was really upset about someone on here and needed to get a bit of space, but only ever the once, and I was fairly obvious by all acounts.

I now name change when bored and having an identity crisis, but I will always say that I am psycho, or mostly people yell at me for being dim again and trying to hide when I can;t

hecAteTheirBrains · 22/10/2008 22:08

Am I less pleasant as Hecate?

Aitch · 22/10/2008 22:09

a simple insulting question.

mamadiva · 22/10/2008 22:09

I namechanged to get away from the baying mob who hated me after my brother and his friend hacked my account and basically offended everyone on MN is that sneaky?

KnickKnack · 22/10/2008 22:09

oh stop fishing for compliments!! you're equally lovely as Hecate...I just didnt recognise you with those new clothes on
