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?

A secret society that controls the world by being just happily tipsy. Everything mankind does is much, much easier if you're ever so slightly drunk.
But you must never drink more than not quite two drinks.

I don’t need to explain mine 😂

Had just looked at a photo of a Jellyfish and couldn't be bothered to check if that was available

A Monty Python song

Pied Beauty

Glory be to God for dappled things —
For skies of couple-colour as a brinded cow;
For rose-moles all in stipple upon trout that swim;
Fresh-firecoal chestnut-falls; finches' wings;
Landscape plotted and pieced — fold, fallow, and plough;
And áll trádes, their gear and tackle and trim.

All things counter, original, spare, strange;
Whatever is fickle, freckled (who knows how?)
With swift, slow; sweet, sour; adazzle, dim;
He fathers-forth whose beauty is past change:
Praise him.

"Pied Beauty"
Gerard Manley Hopkins
written 1877.

I love Bon Jovi and am a fairly unattractive woman, so thought it was apt .

Very outing. My husband is called Nikhil, or Nick to everyone else, I'm his wife, I became his wife in 2008.

I love mashed spuds but rarely have them due to the calorie content.

Because of the band Ghost, one of my favourites

I'm a massive Family Guy fan

From the Royle Family - I've had it a while now. I was a different name for years and occasionally change my user name for specific threads but for that I just usually pick a nonsense name or the nearest object I can see.

I'm menopausal, hot flushes and people annoy me, need I say more.

I am a politician and won my seat in a by-election.

I am an army wife and I am sick of my magnolia house
