First of all, apologies if this is a subject that's been done to death. I haven't seen it since I've been here but I'm sure it must have been asked before.

Any road up...

I was reading "Magic Flutes" by Eva Ibbotson on the day I signed up and the opera featuring La Marschallin was mentioned in it (Der Rosenkavalier? Sorry, not sure of the spelling).

It didn't give any particular clues to my identity (apart from "La" meaning I'm probably female) and I was enjoying the book.

So, that's how I became LaMarschallin (LaMars for short).

How did you become you... ? Smile

Few days boredom. When I signed up, I literally had nothing to dooooooooooooooooo

TheArtfulScreamer1 · 30/01/2020 14:55

Mine was inspired by a batshit thread I read which I think is now in classic. I'm pretty sure it was a troll as to odd to be true but still one of the funniest threads I've ever read. Grin

It's my useless superpower. Wink

It just came to me!

Sparklyring · 30/01/2020 15:23

Shallow but I love my very sparkly engagement ring that my husband chose for me!

ladybee28 · 30/01/2020 15:25

Abbreviation of my Burner name, with a significant date at the end.

Smelborp · 30/01/2020 15:25

A lot of names end in numbers, so mine was originally Smelborp99, which is 99 problems backwards. Smelborb just sounds funny.

I name changed to drop the numbers. I keep meaning to go back but that would require remembering my password. Grin

OhWellThatsJustGreat · 30/01/2020 15:26

I was exasperated that every name I picked has been used and that's what I said in response to being told I couldn't have that name for the 5th time.

whiskeyandice · 30/01/2020 15:28

It was in my hand at the time 😂

eddiemairswife · 30/01/2020 15:31

Wishful thinking. And, yes, I do know he is gay.

LittleBoyJuly2020 · 30/01/2020 15:32

I think mine is obvious haha Smile

BillieEilish · 30/01/2020 15:32

DD chooses mine. I have been DanTDM before Billie, it'll be someone else soon, she is too famous now (and wasn't at all then)

An 11 year olds tastes basically. A youtuber or suchlike Grin

BillieEilish · 30/01/2020 15:33

Firefly fan

And not actually called Jayne

TheQueenBeyondTheWall · 30/01/2020 15:37

I name change everytime I see a new name I like. It's usually something off the tv or music I'm listening to.

ScampiLady · 30/01/2020 15:38

Got VERY over charged for scampi.

Went back to the shop for my refund and after explaining why I was there the cashier said "oh, you're the scampi lady" Grin

LadyMuckfaeStorrieCastle · 30/01/2020 15:38

It is a phrase my Dad used to say when I was little

LassoOfTruth · 30/01/2020 15:40

Mine is a Wonder Woman reference. Seemed appropriate somehow!

mumofBeth · 30/01/2020 15:41
