I am sure if I used my real name here, that people would 'speak' to me in a different way! Do you think we adopt the character of our Board names and act accordingly? Or does it make no difference? I was thinking of Dee, who, when she uses her hearts, takes on a more light hearted look. BC |

BC It is a light hearted look that I cannot always live upto. On a bad day it really annoys me to see the hearts there on the board. Dee x |

I'm not totally sure of the answer to this one, although I'm certain I wouldn't speak to you in a different way. But I agree it would feel initially strange if you changed your name to something else when you've had something quite distinctive for so long. As for my 'oop North' bit, that conjured up images of a surly-faced, weather beaten old Northern git, for some!! lol |

Glynis go into account details under messages on left of screen tap in your passcode and you can then do it! but leave your original surname alone just alter current one and top one christian name,save changes at bottom Davex |

When I use this pseudonym people assume it is an eponym, that is to say they assume I am Scottish which I am not. Yet if I use my given name no-one makes that assumption. |
