nickytwotimes · 26/05/2009 12:05

I've never met you.
I'm sure you are jolly nice.
Your name is good.

MrsASHLEYBanjo · 26/05/2009 12:05

It's a bit "Don't look at me" isn't it? A bit apologetic for being here.

ellingwoman · 26/05/2009 12:06

Do people actually analyse names?

I don't even notice a poster's name unless I really agree/disagree with an opinion. And then I wouldn't think about what it said about a poster.

Poppity · 26/05/2009 12:07

Maybe it's a bit close to smelly egg? I'm not sure.....
I didn't consider it when I named myself, I don't know what image mine gives.
There was a very funny thread a while ago where a few people were describing others based on their mn names. It was brilliant!
You need them to see this, so they can let you know what impression your name gives

SparkyFartDust · 26/05/2009 12:07

why would you think people here don't like you?

WhereTheWildThingsWere · 26/05/2009 12:07

I don't think there is anything wrong with your name, have you been here long? Do you post a lot? Why do you think no-one likes you? What do you want from us?

Hello btw.

VintageGardenia · 26/05/2009 12:07

Huevito might lend a touch of Spanish glamour?

I think you sound like a goodegg.

ellingwoman · 26/05/2009 12:07

Although I am completely jealous of YOU Mrs Banjo

MichelleObama · 26/05/2009 12:07

What's wrong with your name? Inoffensive, but perhaps a bit unmemorable.
Personally, as you see, I prefer to use my RL name, but of course that's not an option for everyone.

smallegg · 26/05/2009 12:09

smelly egg thats right,rotton egg or bad egg.

Poppity · 26/05/2009 12:10

Oh smallegg, you sound sad.

Have you posted and not had answers? Are you ok?

ellingwoman · 26/05/2009 12:11

Well change it!

Stop feeling sorry for yourself!!!

OP, there are a huge amount of women/people/little green men posting on MN, and unfortunately unless you post a lot, you are not really going to get "known". Its not other posters being unfriendly, just due to the huge amount of traffic on here.

I joined from a much smaller board and it took a while to ajust to being a very small fish indeed . I'm over myself now, but it took a while!!!

MmeLindt · 26/05/2009 12:14

I have not noticed you before, so am definitely not ignoring you or do not like you.

Not because of your name though, just because there are a lot of posters on MN and unless a poster says something incredibly witty/offensive/insightful I don't really take a note of the name.

Smallegg does make you sound a bit insignificant and down on yourself. GoodEgg is better, or something completely different.

Do you have any hobbies or particular interests?

smallegg · 26/05/2009 12:16

everyone picks on me

not really.

just fed up with being small

Eek, time for a name change for me too then.

Smallegg, this site is so huge though, it's easy to think you're being ignored especially when you're new.

ellingwoman · 26/05/2009 12:19

Sorry smallegg - I wasn't trying to be dismissive. There's thousands of us who are completely anonymous and no one would miss us if we left!

Actually Anonniemouse is quite a nice name...

smallegg · 26/05/2009 12:19

Do you have any hobbies or particular interests?

my hobbies are the internet
holidays, shopping, art, cooking, swimming

and watching tv.

Voltaire · 26/05/2009 12:21

GoodEgg is much better.

Geocentric · 26/05/2009 12:22

Oooh you can name change to EggNog at Christmas!

RoseOfTheOrient · 26/05/2009 12:23
