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).

Mine’s inspired by a Belle and Sebastian song.

MirandaWest · 17/07/2022 13:53

Mine is a character from a set of books I like. I’ve seen other characters from there around MN so there must be a number of Antonia Forest fans 😊

After an unbelievably frustrating 10 minutes of trying to explain to my dd the meaning of the saying: 'You can't have your cake and eat it' in a never-ending arguing-the-toss loop.
She's 23.

I was a TA in a primary school for years before I left last year to new ventures - and my favourite time was Christmas when we got all the glitter out and decorated cards and gifts - and usually me too!!

I was not long off giving birth to DD and was being optimistic.

I am in fact NOT the goddess off childbirth 😆

I've been in love with Simon Le Bon since I was about 14. It's a nod to Her Name is Rio....it's my little fantasy that he's singing about me ☺️

Clicheinaqashqai · 17/07/2022 14:12

I have 2 children, live in a 3 bed semi in the suburbs and drive a Nissan Qashqai.

I swear I used to be cool.

weegiemum · 17/07/2022 14:12

Mine tells you where I live!

MissMarianHalcombe · 17/07/2022 14:15

One of my favourite literary female characters.

I first read A Woman in White by Wilkie Collins aged 15 for O level English Lit and 37 years later I still love it.

Marian is such a strong woman. I’ve always loved her.

I’m going to burst your bubble and say I was at an event a couple of years ago with Simon Le Bob in attendance and he wearing a cravat. Yasmin looked amazing though. On the plus side we were asked to carry our chairs from one place to another and Simon did carry his chair.

Fascinating thread! Mine is from a Yeats poem…

That crazed girl improvising her music.
Her poetry, dancing upon the shore,
^^
…that girl I declare
A beautiful lofty thing, or a thing
Heroically lost, heroically found
^^
No matter what disaster occurred
She stood in desperate music wound…

PeterPomegranate · 17/07/2022 14:19

Simon Le Bon LOL

NiceTwin · 17/07/2022 14:19

I was always known as the nice twin when at school.

Apollonia1 · 17/07/2022 14:20

Mine is from The Godfather. In the book, the description of Apollonia was beautiful, and always stuck with me.

NightmareSlashDelightful · 17/07/2022 14:20

Mine’s a quote from Karen in Will & Grace.
