I suspect we all spend a fair bit of time wondering about one another's handles. Does ilovesooty live in a house full of Sooty puppets? How deep is her love? Etc

My current username is a song lyric.

It’s from my favourite ever “PFB madness” story on MN 😁

MrTumblePulledAKnifeOnMe · 11/06/2019 14:14

I had an erotic dream about Mr Tumble 😂

whatwouldbigfatfannydo · 11/06/2019 14:19

One of my favourite threads ever on here had an OP named big fat fanny. She was absolutey fab and utterly hilarious (she had a tall viking-type dh with a prosthetic foot and they had all the previous ones lined up in size order as a bathroom display).

Her thread involved waking to find someone had spread a rumour that she had died. It ended up to be the funniest thing I've read on here and she kinda became my hero.

Hence asking what she's do (instead of Jesus) Grin

Whatsyournameagain · 11/06/2019 14:27

All the names I thought of had already been taken and I couldn’t think of a funny one. I picked this one because it’s what I get asked a lot, including at my hairdressers, where I’ve been a customer for at least the last 15 years Grin

Thatsalovelycuppatea · 11/06/2019 14:28

My dog is called pixie and I love her lol.

lilpumpsmum · 11/06/2019 14:34

I name change almost weekly.

Lil Pump is one of these new rappers that look like someone's coloured them in with felt tips. His lyrics are terrible and he seems to be a lil shit.

So I'm his proud mum. Lol

A box of yoghurty bran flakes. Spelling is the same as was on the box.

I have seen that there is a 'Yogurty' on here too- I wonder if they too, were inspired at their work desk by a box of cereal Grin

Angie169 · 11/06/2019 15:09

Mine is in homage to the person that pointed me towards MN .
This excellent thread has inspired me to change it now as I've had this name for a long time I will come back with a different name at some point

Iwantacookie · 11/06/2019 16:45

I was waiting for my cookies to bake and needed to name change I wanted a cookie. The name was born

TheFrenchLieutenantsMonkey · 11/06/2019 17:16

I am mysterious and interesting like the French Lieutenant's Woman, standing in the mist looking all forlorn. But Im from a town in the North East famous for hanging a Monkey and I look more like a sort of wet and bedraggled primate standing on the edge of the North Sea looking a bit pissed off. So there you go.

AguerosAngel · 11/06/2019 17:46

Aguero(s) - After Sergio Aguero, striker for the football I support.

It was actually supposed to be AguerosAnAngel as he’s the most beautiful man I’ve ever seen, but I missed the An out! Blush

ScarletPower · 11/06/2019 17:52

Mine is the name of the shade of red boxed hair dye that I really liked, just so that I didn't forget which one it was Although it is redundant now because I get my hair done at the hairdressers.

BlackPrism · 11/06/2019 18:33

The book The Black Prism

JoshLymanIsHotterThanSam · 11/06/2019 18:46
