how often do you namechange?

28 replies

wannaBeWhateverIWannaBe · 27/02/2007 22:18

to discuss things you don't want associated with your normal nick, not just to change a part of your name iykwim.

of course cod could never namechange to discuss anything personal as her inimitable style would give her away instantly

I've never name changed apart from a very obvious Christmas name. I probably should have done for some threads but I think I get more from mnet if other posters know my history. And that sounds very self-centred.

wotzsaname · 27/02/2007 22:22

I might name change so my threads don't look like im some sad old git that never get a reply and post something to myself. How sad is that?

paulaplumpbottom · 27/02/2007 22:25

I wouldn't do it at all.

Only at Christmas or if I have issues involving sex or the nether regions to talk about.

I wouldn't want to lose the relationship I've built up with MN and start afresh.

Have just done so to moan about Gordon Brown, apart from that never.

HappyDaddy · 27/02/2007 22:29

I have just replied to myself and it has cheered me up no end. Might start texting and emailing myself too.

Little world, how happy I am....

fryalot · 27/02/2007 22:43

when I first joined I name-changed a lot, until I found one that I felt comfortable with really. Still change occasionally if I feel like a change or if I have something embarrassing to ask.

hunkerdave · 27/02/2007 22:44

I've done it once, ages and ages ago. Not because I didn't want MNers to know who I was, but because I was worried that people who already knew me might find my posts.

I just don't care now

I quite like hunkerdave.

Wasn't so keen on TwunterMunker. Was that it? It was something along those lines..

hunkerdave · 27/02/2007 22:49

I love hunkerdave - it has a proper quality to it.

Kind of...oh, oh, oh! Oh... Or something.

But seriously, I only ever namechange to piss about. I don't do the "I've got a dreadful secret to tell" largely cos I don't have dreadful secrets.

hunkerdave · 27/02/2007 22:49

Not sure I was ever Twuntermunker. I was nuckingfutjob

SueW · 27/02/2007 22:50

Don't. Never have.

Bubble99 · 27/02/2007 22:51

That was it. I knew it contained some garbled profanities..

pinkchampagne · 27/02/2007 22:54

I have name changed a few times for my more serious, personal posts, because I needed to try & be a little careful.
I have also had to change my regular name once due to some RL spying!

Hallgerda · 28/02/2007 09:23

I've only done it the once - and only because I've said enough about myself on here to be quite easily identifiable by anyone who really wants to find me. I did it for a very candid post on local schools, not fanjos .
