I was a total twat at the time and had a lot of problems within myself which are now sorted?

Basically in 2005 i was suffering from severe depression which in turn made me be a total twat, but i liked being ME i am fed up with this name and want to be me again lol

So who were you then? Wasn't here in 05 so can't judge. Was it a really fab name?

ImOverHere · 29/06/2009 13:38

Go for it. I'm knew so have no idea if you were being a twat or not back then.

ImOverHere · 29/06/2009 13:39

new not knew

EyeballsandherSunburntNorks · 29/06/2009 13:39

Know who you are now but wasn't here then so cannot judge. Try it out, go on

cheesesarnie · 29/06/2009 13:40

i cant remember who you were.change if youll feel comfier!

AMumInScotland · 29/06/2009 13:43

I can't imagine anyone would hold anything you posted in 2005 against you now, even if they remembered it - which is unlikely unless you were totally out of order!

Go for it!

TheLadyEvenstar · 29/06/2009 13:48

Oooooh.

TheLadyEvenstar · 29/06/2009 13:55

Rhubarb lol don't do that told you I was a total twat back then lol

theDreadPirateRoberts · 29/06/2009 13:55

Mmm. Why do you want to use an RL name here though? Isn't it more fun keeping stuff separate?

TheLadyEvenstar · 29/06/2009 13:57

Thedread, because I always have used my name. I suppose I am just bored with name I am using atm and cant think of anything else tbh

I remember Vaunda.

Change it back if you want to. Most people won't remember the 'old' you anyway, and life's too short to be holding a grudge from 2005.

chipmonkey · 29/06/2009 13:58

TLE, you were ripped to shreds at the time but you weren't a total twat!
I don't know if it is a good idea to use your RL name though.
Just do what I do and reveal so much about yourself that anyone who knows you couldn't fail to identify you!

TotalChaos · 29/06/2009 13:58

I was here in 2005, I really don't remember anything that bad under Vaunda, I wouldn't worry.

cheesesarnie · 29/06/2009 13:59

i cant remember you with other name but no matter how bad you were youve outed yourself now so you may as well change.were you really that bad???

Rhubarb · 29/06/2009 13:59

Well, a lot of the old Mumsnetters are no longer here so I don't think it would matter that much anymore.

However, be prepared to be recognised. 4 years have passed since that thread so hopefully you'll be able to put the old Vaunda behind you and start with the new Vaunda!

Welcome back!

Lizzylou · 29/06/2009 14:00

Everyone's had their moments on MN, use whatever name makes you feel most comfortable.
I remember Vaunda, not sure why though.

Alestorm · 29/06/2009 14:01

I want to go back to my old name too, but I can't because I flounced de-registered. I miss my old name.

Unless you ladies can find me a brilliant name that is!!

Rhubarb · 29/06/2009 14:04

I think if you contact MNHQ they can give you your original name back. I'm 100% sure they did that for one Mumsnetter recently who had deregistered.

cheesesarnie · 29/06/2009 14:04

how about theladyVaunda

screamingabdab · 29/06/2009 14:05

I like you now TLE, and I wasn't around then, so I don't care about your supposed misdemeanour.

Christ, if people roumd here are likely to hold a 4 year grudge, I'd better scarper now !
