I was encouraged my Sydney to do the right thing. :(
My name is not really Mango. I am 12-14, but Mango is not my real name. I am very sorry to tell such a falsehood. :( My middle name is not Sidny either, I just thought that Mango Sidny sounded really pretty together. I'm very sorry. Please forgive me.

Well, it would be confusing because there already is a Mango... Using pen-names is fine! I do!
(November 9, 2009 - 8:40 pm)
No problem Mango, it is just a name. Pen names are fine!!
(November 5, 2009 - 5:46 pm)
S'ok, I like your honesty, and I still like your pen-name.
I often think that when I have books published, I will use a pen-name...

It's okay, M. Can I still call you Mango??? I like that name, despite what Elizabeth W. says..... :-)

Thanks, you guys...lots! :)

Hmm...i don't think i've ever said hi to you before, Mango (or M I guess). But you know, lots of people have pen names on here, and trust me, it's perfectly okay!!!!!! You should keep calling yourself Mango, because you don't want to be nameless, now do you? Nice to meet you!
(November 11, 2009 - 9:32 pm)
Please be nice and stop making people call you my name. Plus my real name is Sidney and so I would appreciate it if you stopped using my name. I nearly got a heart attack when I saw this thread posted under my name. So please stop.

Will M apologize or not?? She did use my name, AND real name, after all...
(December 16, 2009 - 4:49 pm)
Please apologize... you see, I was here first and you stole my real name as well as my pen name. Now everyone here wants you to keep MY name, and seem to think you came up with it. Well, you did not, and I'd like my name back, please.
(December 17, 2009 - 4:14 pm)
Um, she did apologize. If you read the thread, she said she was very sorry.
I agree she shouldn't go by Mango (although M is fine), but I don't think she purposely took your penname. And Sidny is pronounced SIDEny, although it's still remarkably similar to your name and she shouldn't go by that, either.

You reallize that this could be a coincidence, Real Mango. I don't think that she was trying to impersonate you, after all it wasn't in her confession that she was impersonating you (which was hardly nessesary, It was just a pen name after all).
I don't see what you're so worked up about. She changed her name.
(December 19, 2009 - 8:37 pm)
"Mango" I am dissapointed in your actions. I honestly think you should have just told the truth. There has been a lying bug here before and I hope we aren't catching it again. Also you can't go as Mango because the real old Mango has been here longer.
(December 18, 2009 - 4:22 pm)
Hey, Real Mango? I don't think "M" even knew that she took your name, so I think you should back off a little.
(December 18, 2009 - 9:52 pm)
M took both my pen name and my real name. Sure, she spelled it differently, but does that really matter? And I don't appreciate people saying that M should go by Mango. That was my name, and I don't want to have to call myself Mango #1 for the rest of eternity just because M accidentally decided that Mango was her name. And M may have apologized to the general public that Mango wasn't her name, but she didn't apologize to me about stealing my original name. And no, I can't change my name. That's what my mom's Indian friends call me. So I would advise against asking me to change it in the future.
