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?

You can probably guess

My favourite song from 2018

My job is taking science activities into schools. My username is what a pupil called out as I carried a stack of equipment crates into the classroom.

I love that BringOnTheScience! Am watching Breaking Bad as I type this and it sounds like something Jesse would say.

Watching the cat scratching

Hi, I'm Ed Winchester.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang!

Bananarama song "love in the first degree"...."cos I'm guilty, guilty as a gherkin bee...." (girl can be)

BringOnTheScience your job sounds great!

My elbow was actually itchy at the time

From an episode of Blackadder, the baby-eating Bishop of Bath and Wells.

I am not patient... or pregnant.

@AhhhHereItGoes

It's a scene from Alan Partridge that goes something like this......

"You threw a copper kettle at Whoopi Goldberg's cat?"..."no I threw Whoopie Godlberg's copper kettle at a cat".

@MrsBadCrumblesClarinet I thought so! It was during the 1490 War, if memory serves. 😉

I have many lovely cocks 🍆🍆🍆🍆🍆🍆🍆

New York is my favourite place to visit so I chose a username from there which sounds like it could be a name.

It’s part of a quote from an episode of Frasier:

Niles and Daphne are alone in his house] My God, it's a recipe for disaster! You've got a vulnerable woman and an unstable man in a gothic mansion on a rainy night! The only thing missing is someone shouting "Heathcliff!" across the moors!

I’m the side order that people can take or leave

Mine is quite a boring reason. I’ve been in various forums with names such as “ Mambo”, “ O’Neill”, “Saltrock”, “ Kangaroo Poo” and various other Surf wear manufacturers. It is now the turn of Badbilly, although the correct name of the shirts was Badbillies, so I’ve used a little bit of poetic licence!

@magimedi I've often wondered! Thanks... I'm on a recent NC myself so you won't know who I am but rest assured we've been on a lot of threads together!

Still game quote
