Try to guess the reference to mine and we'll all try to guess yours.

Chikapu = Pikachu?

I love seeing Pratchett-related names knocking about, but I've never hd one myself, despite being a huge fan.

My names are usually related to whatever TV programme I'm rewatching at the time - my current one is Wink but it's a bit niche.

Can anyone guess mine? It is fairly specific.

TheVolturi · 10/09/2021 19:41

@ApolloandDaphne

Can anyone guess mine? It is fairly specific.
I'm pretty sure something to do with Greek mythology but I can't tell you any more than that!
ApolloandDaphne · 10/09/2021 19:42

@TheVolturi Yes it is Greek mythology but I am an art geek so it is very specific to what I like.

Mine- my northern dh was fixing a broken toy belonging to dd.
“What are you doing, Daddy?”
“Fixing your fairy castle, we need Super Glue”,in a broad Mancunian accent.
“Silly Daddy! You need glue not soup! “
Hence, gluenotsoup😂😂😂

The date your house was built

SquirryTheSquirrel · 11/09/2021 18:15

@DispareSquid Would I be right in thinking you suddenly 'discovered' the last few years of your life had been spent in an immersive virtual reality game ... which you only scored 4% on?
