[AbsofAwesomeness]

Dear MNHQ,

I would like a name thingy (I can't remember the word, but Reality asked for it once) so that I can use a name which someone else has used previously.

The name I would like to use is Absy.
Here are a number of ridiculously good reasons as to why I'd like it and why I should have it:

1. I have checked, and wheover has it, has never used it. Ever, like never ever in the history of mumsnet (unless I searched wrong - a possibility)
2. Some VERY IMPORTANT and well regarded MNers Pag use it for my nickname
3. It's short to type
4. My proper short name is Abs, but there's someone called Abzs/Absz so it would be well confusing if I was Abs, and Absy's awesome.

Can I say, you're all looking VERY lovely today, and have you lost some weight?

AMNESTY. That's the word I'm looking for. A name amnesty please

Love, hugs and kisses
Absy

I need SheelaNaGig.

I'm spelled wrongly ffs.
and its not been used since 2007.

please thanks

I would like Edu. It has never used to post and I've graduated so need to update But EduGraduate is too clunky and I've grown fondd of those 3 little letters.

Can you not now be
EduCated?

I would love BOF. Never been used, but some bastard had it years ago. I may have a smelly out of date tube of that yellow paintstripper Clinique used to pretend was a moisturiser. You can have that for nothing.

Oooh, ooh! Hang on...

Ta daaa! Why did I never think of this? I mean, it's not like I've got a degree or owt...

Hello. I'm back.

I emailed and everything. When will it be made available? I just tried, and it's still taken

I emailed too.

Nowt.

Probably best to at least wait until Monday so they can do a load of old name zapping at once!

Tube of Pringles for you, too, Rebecca ?

Ooops, wrong thread!

S'alright. I won't want Edu til the Paralympics are over, so you can take your time with that one
