Where did your screen name come from?

[ThatsTheLastISawOfHim]

Just curious how people choose their names and if they have any meaning. I'm a regular name changer (although I never announce the name change, feels like it defeats the purpose somewhat!) and have been on mumsnet for a couple of years.

My current one is a line from Judge Judy, I thought it was time for a change and that was the next thing i heard on the telly. I realised that it might seem like my DPs left me afterwards but that got me thinking, where do others get their names from. Anyone care to share?

I'm a foodie

From MN. Someone’s phone autocorrected custard creams to mustard screams and it made me laugh for about 3 weeks.

I changed mine at Halloween as I'd had the previous name for a couple of years. It's what DD called carved Halloween pumpkins

A children's book ,, Carrot Top and Cotton Tails , about how the rabbits had enough of the constant jeering of the vegetables (who could talk back then you know) and took their revenge .

They went wild on the veg .

My bemusement at what Waitrose deems to be essential.

A thread about tattoos where someone declared them "naff" because their " trendy North London teen" said so.

DH called me Mrs Wife. I corrected him.

I think its obvious 😁

The moment during the Wales v Ireland Grand Slam game when every Welsh person watching was holding their breath over Alun Wyn's knee and hoping he could carry on.

An accidental itchy incident at Christmas

It's nice and sweary.
The Fifth Cunt in Spanish. It should say coño but MN doesn't accept the ñ.
Ñ-phobic
It means the middle of nowhere/back of beyond.
Most people shorten it to elQ or Quinto, it makes my day if I've been called Conyo (on MN!)

The name of a street I mis-remembered from a Dutch children's TV series.

Ouch @TinselAndKnickers

It's a line from the latest song by my favourite band Rammstein.

I have 3 screen names.

This one - because I have a cat
Another one - because of the snapped and darted thread
Another one - because that's what DH calls me

From Wreck It Ralph, when the Disney princesses stare into water the music swells up and they get to sing a song - but it has to be important water. m.youtube.com/watch?v=Yirc35yIjfc

Nobody will ever work mine out, it’s a secret

😀

Oh, it wasn’t in that clip!

From a book that was on my desk while I desperately tried to think of a new username!

France.

From Jilly Cooper's Rivals (Caitlin O'Hara wears "wildly fashionable da-glo cat-sick yellow socks" after her father accidentally makes them into a fashion trend).

Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club Redwood Original
loved that series
have to admit for ages I thought it was a person lol

Line of Duty fella!

...and you will address me as such.

Couldn't think of one, spotted a bottle of eye drops on the desk in front of me. Terribly dull!!

3 1/2 cats (one is currently at my daughter’s student house on loan to deal with a mouse problem), plus a regular stray, it rare for me not to have a cat on my lap as soon as I sit down hence Covered in Cat Hair.
