LOL, I'm sorry too funny. I worry that I do that, post something to the wrong board. Ever have that mysterious missing post??

I know---- you know when I saw that the post had been edited yesterday I actually went in search of where it was supposed to be, lol- no luck!


Such a tease though, right??

Ha! Sorry for doing that. It was a silly question about if I can start using my middle name instead of my first name. I really don't like my first name and have gone by it my whole life. My family makes me feel silly for wanting to change it. I wondered if anyone else had done this or knew anyone who had done it and wondered how it worked for them and if indeed it was a silly thing to do. I have no idea how it got posted on this board. I lurk on this board because I am not dieting or working out at this time but need to. I am not ready yet, so I just lurk. It could have been me, but I have noticed if ivillage is being glitchy posts will wind up on wrong boards, email will be given out when you have it checked not to, posts will be eaten, the site is slow, etc. This has all happened to me before when ivillage was being glitchy, and yesterday I noticed this site was a little glitchy about eating posts etc. It's always a let down when I open a post and it's not there. I probably should have just left it so at least it wouldn't be annoying! Sort of the wrong subject matter though. Geez, think what it would be like if you were posting on a very private matter and it winds up on a casual board! The hazards of being an enthusiastic lurker/poster!

For the record...I don't think it's silly or corny at all.

Thank you! I think I will start using my middle name which I have always liked. My first name is very manly. It's a boys name actually, but every now and then you find a woman has it. I have always loved my middle name which is very girly. Thank you for the vote of confidence. The only people I have asked about this is my family and of course they love my first name and don't want me to change it. I wanted some unbiased opinions, and I wondered how common it was for people to decide to go by their middle names later in life. I love ivillage, but I think it's every poster's nightmare for their posts to wind up on the wrong boards. Particularly if you enjoy posting or lurking on a variety of 'serious' and 'fun' boards you just don't want those posts getting mixed up!

Think it's a good idea. I understand your concern though. You know how people get when you want to do something that makes you happy.


My DH goes by both his first and middle names. I call him by his first but a lot of his family on his dad's side
