Need to change my mumsnet identity

[leonieandevie]

Hi there

After chatting on mumsnet over the weekend I've realised that I given quite a lot away about my own identity and personal issues. Feel really dumb for doing it as my MN name is pretty obvious and I know some people will suss me out if I don't sort this. I know someone I've been chatting with has been recognised in the street..
How can I change my nickname but ensure that the people I chat to on here will still recognise me? Sure its obvious but I have no grey matter left after hefty night of DD teething.

I'm sorry I think you just have to change it totally. I changed mine also after being here 3 yrs and it bears no relation to who I was. Annoying but essential.

Thanks again - as you can see I'm a complete muppet as I've posted this twice.x

Would you feel better if you just contacted MNHQ and asked them to delete what you're worried about? I've done this before, then changed my name, but from what you say there seems no reason why you have to.

Its not that anyone has recognised me but being the fool that I am posted a shot of me in my photos. Oh well, suppose there's nothing wrong with wearing your heart on your sleeve!
Will get on with changing name first.
Thanks guys
