If you delete your membership and then realise you cannot live with mumsnet is there any way you can get your old name back?

[Wallaroo]

Pretty please! I don't like my new name - I want McDreamy back!

That'll learn you.

I thought if you deleted your membership then your name could be given out to anyone who wanted it?

Can't you become MacDreamy? Or McDreeamy?

You can find whoever the Tech du jour is and flutter your eyelashes at him. QuintessentialShadows managed it a couple of months back and may be able to give you eyelash-fluttering classes...

Was just thinking that Cliff something very similar. Yes I've tried the original but it won't let me.

Here we go, I guess it's close enough!

I really miss Wallaroo!

You need BigTech

lol itcameuponamidnightclear - are you my Grandad? Or are you from the midlands, at least? I've never heard anyone else say that, but he used to all the time.

I am not anybody's grandad, as far as I'm aware notquitegrownup. And no, I'm not from the Midlands either. But I think they maybe used it in deepest Hertfordshire, where I grew up.

Hi McDreemy, how are things?

Ah - I've done this too - miss my old name but there doesn't seem to be any way of getting it back - it just tells me it's in use by someone else (er, yes, that's me). V annoying. Let me know if you manage it.

McDreemy (as you are now): if you can send us an email ([email protected]) from the email address you used as McDreamy, we'll see what we can do...

Email sent - fingers crossed

And get your arse back on fab feb woman!

This place is like the Hotel California, shame on you for thinking you could leave

or you could just improvise as I did

and use a number instead of a letter

...... a bit difficult with McDreamy though.

Check me out Thnak you mumsnet!!!!!
