Me

Thought about starting a blog and wanted it to be anonymous, but couldn't work out how to do a name change for it [slightly dumb emoticon].

Originally wanted my name without the 'mum' bit but it was taken. Now realise it's not a very cool name, but wtf...

SheikYerbouti · 02/10/2008 09:57

I used to be called Keith, so I'm not able to join this thread

shoedweller · 02/10/2008 10:01

I was thinking of name changing. I chose shoedweller thinking of the "doesn't know what to do line" because I mostly read the stuff and feel really enlightened by you lot. Someone has since pointed out that the "whips them all soundly and sends them to bed" bit isn't such a good image.

[doh]

i did one night, to bluecheesefadge, when that troll poster created a pisstake thread about using blue cheese in her fanny to cure thrush.

I want to because my name is a bit rubbish and it was never meant to be permanent but I haven't got round to it.

zazen · 02/10/2008 10:12

I've never changed my name, but I notice someone else posting as Zazette - it's not me, and have to admit I do feel a bit

MrsMuddle · 02/10/2008 10:41

Me - tried to once to ask an TMI period question, but failed. And I'm lazy.

fortyplus · 02/10/2008 10:45

Me.

Only ever went on mn because a colleague told me 'It's an excellent resource to recommend to single mums'.

Couldn't imagine myself participating in an internet chat room, but 2 years later I'm still here and never bothered to change. I'm usually reasonably imaginative - always thought I should change to something like

psychomum5 · 02/10/2008 10:49

I never once name changed (except xmas last year, but even then it was still my name tweaked a little), until this september and that was for something very painful for me.

since then I have been havign a personality disorder and have name-changed almost daily, but I will be very very obvious about it and even sign posts as 'psycho' anyway.

many of the 'psycho' names tho are me, other than psychobabble and one other.

TrinityRhino · 02/10/2008 10:49

I have always been trinity
but I was trinityrocks and then franny and others went horny one day and I changed to trinityrhino and then it stuck
like it better

I do the xmas changes too

Sazisi · 02/10/2008 10:50

Me, ..but this reminds me that I'd like to. My name is an amalgamation of my actual name and DD1's name so I could do with a decent mumsnetty name..

alienbump · 02/10/2008 10:58

I've never changed mine, but seeing as I chose it because it described my pregnant bump and that bump will shortly be celebrating her 2nd birthday I think maybe I should!

pagwatch · 02/10/2008 12:49

Never ever changed mine - not even christmassy name. Plus all my personal stuff is out there too

But probably would change if I felt the need to protect someone elses privacy.

purpleturtle · 02/10/2008 12:51

UCM famously didn't change her name.

jesuswhatnext · 02/10/2008 14:56

i never have, been on here about a year now and am still such a ludite i don't know HOW to change my name (or set up a profile page)sorry.

maidamess · 02/10/2008 14:57

I've been me for ages and ages now, does that count?
