There are lots on interesting usernames and I often wonder what they mean.

Mine is from the Rivers of London series, skygarden Tower is a made up Tower block in London which focuses magic.

What does your username mean? (Obviously only it isn't outing).

*It's also a very clever IMHO play on the book and film Richie Rich.

TheUnexpectedPickle · 17/07/2022 13:03

I call my niece Pickle.
She was with my sister one day when she popped to my house to pick something up. I said "Oh hello Pickle, I didn't know you were coming" she said "Yes I'm an unexpected Pickle!"
She was about 4, I thought it was very cute.

Christine McVie from Fleetwood Mac was born Anne Christine Perfect. I was listening to FM and fancied a name change.

ParasiticMicrowasp · 17/07/2022 13:04

Mine's from the list I keep in my phone of names that I think would be good for a band - they're largely adjective noun combos along the same lines as Maverick Sabre or Crazy Arm.

liveforsummer · 17/07/2022 13:04

I think mine is quite self explanatory

Tummelthecat · 17/07/2022 13:04

My name means that we built cis city on sexist roles Grin

(I keep seeing buffet/sausage rolls and thinking it's me Blush)!

I presumed you were the same poster with a FWR name change tbh!

Mine is quite obvious - I like a hairy chest - and I checked Joe Keery’s age in case it was inappropriate and it turns out he’s a lot older in real life so I’m ok Grin

MrsOwainGlyndŵr · 17/07/2022 13:04

My husband was the last Welsh born Prince of Wales. He fought against the Saesneg for Welsh independence. I am very proud of him and have outlived him by hundreds of years.

fudfootedfannybangle · 17/07/2022 13:04

A quaint term of Scottish endearment.

waterlego · 17/07/2022 13:05

This is a really interesting thread!

Mine is a Superhans quote from Peep Show.

KilmordenCastle · 17/07/2022 13:06

Mine is the name of a fictional ship that is one of the main settings for a favourite book of mine. The man in the brown suit by Agatha Christie.

CeratopsofthePharoahs · 17/07/2022 13:06

It started off as a book in the Tintin series, then I changed the first bit to a dinosaur and I haven't changed it back.

Yes I know I have spelled Pharaoh wrong.

MustBeThursday · 17/07/2022 13:06

It's a reference to a line in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

BlueKaftan · 17/07/2022 13:07

I have aspirations of floating around in a blue kaftan.

PoppyBird · 17/07/2022 13:08

Two things I saw when looking out the window when I wanted to name change and lacked inspiration. I'll change it again soon as it's too close to PoopyBird

SamanthaVimes · 17/07/2022 13:08

Mine’s a discworld reference. Sam Vimes is commander of the watch in the books.

WarmJuly · 17/07/2022 13:08

I was hoping for some good weather. Well, it's worked!

What usually happens on my annual leave. Been lucky this year.

Mine is the name of my favourite Bernini sculpture.

The most beautiful sculpture it is too, although Cristo Velato by Giuseppe Sanmartino is also pretty amazing

GretaVanFleet · 17/07/2022 13:11

It’s the name of a band.

DecimatedDreams · 17/07/2022 13:11

Part of the lyrics of Welcome to the black parade by My Chemical Romance.

I'd just been to a Robert Cray concert.
