As Gransnet has grown – it will shortly celebrate its fourth birthday – there has been an overlap, although not, of course, a duplication of names. We have a number of rose and katy variations, for example, and I, naturally, am particularly aware of the recent arrival of absentgrandma. Can I put in a plea for using a name that is distinctively identifiable when you are replying directly to a specific poster. I spent a lot of time this morning trawling through a very long thread looking for something I didn't remember posting which had sparked a somewhat acerbic response to absent. Eventually I tracked down the "offending" post which I hadn't made at all. I don't want to change my name as I have been absent here, as it were, for nearly four years and I wouldn't dream of expecting someone else to do so.

I see there's someone called Trisher on here - maybe you're a Patricia too?

I regret picking such an unadventurous user name. Shortly after joining, I noticed there was a Bellesnan and recently a Bellanonna has popped up. Should I change mine? confused

No, don't change, Bellasnana. We know who you are and a lot about your recent history. We need to recognise you.

I thought I had heard that Jingle was eventually given the name jinglebellsfrocks when she let GNHQ choose a new name for her.

I think Jingle had run out of other ideas having used up so many other names in the three years I have been on here. wink Cheers! Jingle!
