As the title says. On Mumsnet it’s easy to change user names.. can we have the same please? It helps protect anonymity.

I joined during the pandemic when I was devastated not to be able to see my DGD who we had looked after two days a week, hence my name. However, I am no longer sad and would appreciate being able to change my name please.

This is another very good reason for a name change facility. Frankly, I can’t see any negatives in GNHQ providing this for us.

Go to My Gransnet.
You should see this. Underneath the last line on the photo is a little box. If I click it then it takes me to another box where I can choose to use my alternative name.
I’m on an iPad, it may be different on a phone.
