How did you choose your MN name?

[LaMarschallin]

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... ?

When Honey Dragon thought her Fitbit told her to masturbate and called it a Wrist bound latex bitch, I liked the name and have had it since

I name change quite a bit. This one is because I’m currently reading The Hearts Invisible Furies.

I was drinking a can of Nix and Kix Watermelon Hibiscus and liked the look of the name as well as the taste.

My favourite part of my favourite football player

I had just dropped a pile of jigsaw boxes on the floor and they all obligingly spilled their contents out. Total Basts.

Because we did build cis city on sexist roles.

I was watching Celebrity Hunted on 4oD and thought it would probably be nice to be Gavin Henson’s neighbour

The news was on the tv in the background and I typed what was being said.

That's about as uninspired as you can get, isn't it?

A gloomy view of New Year resolutions

Mine is after Bezalel, one of the two interior designers of the tabernacle in the Torah. I always imagine him as fabulously camp!

I live in Italy and I am very forgetful which is what my name means.

I change names quite often. This one is what I had for tea that day!

Because who ever just eats one biscuit?

Mine is a line from 'What We Do In The Shadows' 🦇🦇🦇

When there's a line on TV that really makes me laugh. I was previously Leonardhasgonetotheoffice (Big Bang Theory). My current one was a particularly momentous line from Orange is the New Black.

Waves at @BillieEilish

I loved my old name - a character with a ‘spot’. We’ve bantered on occasion Billie.

I love the lady of shallot but I’m still a loner and socially awkward so slipped a ‘n’ in to reflect it.

I post under another name too. Reflection/connection of an old job and an ‘odd’ thing - there is a theme...

Loved seeing in the weekend with a glass of something nice then got preggo!

A character from a favourite book. There is someone else on here who clearly likes the same book

Mine takes inspiration from a sex worker

Well she was a royal courtesan in India around 500BC

Just liked the name really...

I was on a diet and hadn’t had mashed spuds for over a year.

From Roger waters - Amused to death , one of my favourite albums.

Mine's from a song by Laurie Spiegel

It's the thing I craved most at that time

Because I am.

Mine is because I really like the colour the sky goes just before a storm....which sounds a bit whimsical actually! But also because I think it sums up my personality quite well. I'm very 'all or nothing' 😁
