I'd like a username that's taken but no one's using it

[Moosma]

I'd like to drop the 'ma' from my name and just be 'Moos' but it says it's taken. I've done a search and nobody's ever posted using it so I was wondering if I could perhaps have it?

Please?

Pretty please?

Am I asking in the wrong place?

Unfortunately, there is a Mumsnetter with the nickname Moos.

Sorry

Have a great weekend

Mooz

But I want it!

Harrumph.

Well you can't have it!

Moos or Starlight may not post but they might be regular lurkers. Can you imagine how freaky it would be to be lurking and see posts in your name?

Moose is a cracking name.

why would anyone want to be called a Moose? am baffled

You might have to wait until the next nickname auction.
I'd desperately wanted to be Posie not Posey (and Posieflump is someone different entirely!) but after I'd bought it, I decided I really didn't want to change (have been Posey for 6 years) so have never used it.

LL - Rabbits do NOT Moo... get a grip!

I wanted SueEllen, and missed the damn auction.

They had one some time ago, to raise fund for the "Mile for Maude" appeal. I think Tech advertised all the names that hadn't been used for a certain length of time. You could come on and claim the name if it was yours and you wanted to keep it. If not, all those names were up for auction and the highest bidder won.

Um its a close thing but I think I prefer Littlelapin

I want to know who twoeshoes is as it has gone. but never seen someone called that

Starlight! It is your family name which gives you your authority and gravitas, you know.

Ok then, so when's the next auction? P'raps we should do one for OJ?
