How many MN 'personas' have you ever had?

229 replies

Norty · 03/05/2005 22:28

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....

Codswollop was me, Norty. I've also had CrispyCodballs, CodkaAndOrange, CodBalls, CodBites, CodNCips, CrisypCodBaubles, MajorClanger, LadyDragonOfSoup, an awful lot of different Dragons (TheOldDragon is one of my faves...), several Twigletts, PrincessPeeHead.... I could go on. Having looked at the list, it may not be as many as 100 because some of them were ones I tried which were already taken.

If you go to the Member Profile screen, delete your nickname and click in the box, you might get a whole list of suggestions come up - they're the one's you've typed in on yourPC.

Oh, and Norty isn't Cod.

Are you fairly local, Norty?

FLUM · 04/05/2005 16:21

Norty · 04/05/2005 16:22

Soupie - aha! That's me sussed then! (although cover already blown below from JanH for those reading closely enough!)

How can you tell I'm bored today??

(Don't think anyone even noticed 'JustineeMumsnet' or 'SoupDragan' on the other thread, which must prove something (although I'm not sure what?)
