I've been here for ages but would like to post on a thread in a different name....just wanting a bit of privacy....nothing sinister
How do you do this? I've looked around but can't figure it out. Can you have 2 nicknames? I've had just the one since I first joined.
Tbsmhs peeps xx

I'm on my laptop so not sure about on phone, but from here you click on My Mumsnet in the top right corner and then 'settings'. Where your current username is you type the one you want to use instead, then if its available it will ask for your password to change it. (You might need to try a few variations to get one that hasn't been used before)

You can then switch back and forth between usernames by typing the one you want in the box above your comment, but make sure to check it with each post!!

You can have as many names as you like, plenty of people change them regularly or have a festive variation.
