Part of me likes this... but then again, another part of me thinks it is pretty inane. I guess I'm split.
Great teaser! I thought maybe she was an actress and played a different part each day. I like yours better!
That was easy, because I watch Heroes. Pretty good, too though
Good teaser. I thought it was fun.
hmmmmm it was a little wierd
*weird*

I thought she was a giving a password to get in the building.
That was great!
That was terrible!
I don't get it.
I have wanted to do situation teaser for a while but i didn't have any good ideas untill now.
Well I guess I kind of got the right answer. I figured she had either legally changed her name or both of those names were hers (one being a first name the other a middle or last name) or she was lying. Your answer that she had DID would be the same as she was lying (although with a medical reason).
That was interesting.
i thought she was saying the name of the guard, and that the next day it was a different guard called jenny. though that would be "trick" i guess.
I got this straight away... too easy
it could also be she was trying to steal money from a bank vault and just saying new names...
i thought 3 things either she had lied, 4got who she was,OR she had mulipule names
Do you like this teaser? If so do you think I should write more?
Sorry, have to agree with snipa.

what?
Pah, and here I sat, thinking I was all smart for realizing that she was saying the GUARD's name.
i figured it was either that or she worked for soe super secret spy organization and the name you said changed daily and was a password to get in.
The title is a give-away. the teaser was clever though.
I have mutiple personalities but we don't talk about it.
Hmm... Clever, I guess, but I've never heard of this disorder. But why would she need to change her name to have a different personality? Your name doesn't decide what kind of personality you have....
Or does it?
Or does it?
She lied!
I thought she said her name, but also the guard's name.
Sort of far fetched, but it makes sense.
