How many MN 'personas' have you ever had?

[Norty]

There's a another thread talking about how easily people can be deceptive on chat rooms, however most people seem to be saying "oh, but I think I'd spot someone fake", or "but I haven't the time/energy for multiple posts"

It got me wondering, "How many MN personas have people ever had".In other words, how many different MN nicknames have you EVER used?

My personal score is probably well towards 20 - over 5 years... some most regularly, some occasionally, and a few only once....

how about everyone gets a usual name and a secret name. but any others they use are available for public view.

Aw no...... don't limit the name changes.... I remember SOupdragon & I having some fun on one thread with it - let's see if I can find it.....

P.S. because you're all not listening - let me say it again - I used to be MotherofOne in the early days, but am now someone else most regularly....

who? who? who? Spill, norty.

I like Flums idea, you can still have silly christmas names etc but if you search on them all linked posts come up (like when you click on 'threads I'm on') you can nominate a couple of personal names that don't link up.

It will bugger up giving clues on the swaps though

Here you go - and it just shows that "what goes around, comes around in terms of threads on Mumsnet"

here

Now - what's weird, is that I know I posted on this thread, but I can't remember who as! (Was 'codswollop' you Soupy, or me? I'm sure I did that somewhere else as well....)

SM - maybe me?

Or me perhaps?

Or even me?

Norty, please miss, I was listening, miss, I tried to tell them too!

(I don't think they want you to be motherofone!)

I know what she's called now - it kind of follows on from motherofone....

But she went on to be someone else. Norty, you are norty! I'm going to leave it there I think Happy bamboozling!

JanH -

Congrats on doing the Great North Run Norty. How much did you raise in the end?

Could we not have our own name, an extra one for Xmas, and then the ability to change our name to anonymous (possibly followed by a number) so that it is obvious when somebody is a namechanger, but not obvious who they are. And don't let people "reserve" names like anonymous, so multiple people can use the same name

What do you think, Prufrock?

Ah - Saint George!! About £2k in the end - did you sponsor me (who are you!!!???)

no don't limit them (have started another thread), I would be very sad and would lose the ability to play silly games

Well done Norty! Sorry, I didn't sponsor you as I didn't see the thread at the time

Used to be Snugs but needed a harder persona so swapped a little while ago.

Besides, when I googled Snugs I came up with an incontinence product. Not happy to keep that image in my head

norty is motheroftwo

norty is cod

Well, nearly, flum

(motherofoneandahalf maybe )
