I changed my first name to Merry Monty and the system then also uses your surname as well (so change that if you want to). My surname (married) is Montgomery, so I left that. You do not see your middle name or maiden surname (if you have those boxes filled in) on the boards. Merry

Hi Merry, Just noticed a posting by 'pain in the ...' Haven't seen that one before so thought it may be Jayne's husband's idea!! Sarah :-) actually 'obviously incognito' would be quite a good board name LOL
