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).

A reference to my favourite tv series - Supernatural.
Before this i was Thehogfatherstolemycurry which is a nod to my favourite author STP.

Extratoebeans · 17/07/2022 14:54

Mine is because my cat has 7 toes on each foot and I call them toe beans.

Mine is because a) I have grey hair and b) I drift through Mumsnet rarely noticed but comfortably at home like an ancestral ghost 😃

I'm a moody cow, and MoodyOne was taken 😂

I don't need to tell the OP what my name means.

Currently ill in bed reading the latest Rivers Of London.

NoShitHemlock · 17/07/2022 15:20

A play on "No shit, Sherlock" cos I thought I was being a smart arse and I would get called Hemlock. Turns out anytime I am referenced I get called "NoShit".

It's my own fault really.....

NovacDino · 17/07/2022 15:21

Mine's a reference to a location in one of my favourite video games.

Caminante · 17/07/2022 15:22

It's from a poem by the Spanish poet Machado.'Caminante, no hay camino', "traveller, there is no path".

BeautifulWar · 17/07/2022 15:28

Kings of Leon song.

impressivelycunty · 17/07/2022 15:29

Mine is a quote from The Crown when Prince Charles is being a dick and Princess Anne says "well, that was impressively cunty".

My car

Ithinkitsadoughnut · 17/07/2022 15:32

Mine's from a quiz show where the host asks something along the lines of: In Greek mythology, what food does Homer describe as 'Food of the gods'?
So funny 😂

FreezyFreezy · 17/07/2022 15:33

The otc freezing treatment for verrucae

Rockbird · 17/07/2022 15:33

Debbie Harry album title. And quite descriptive of me too.

topcat2014 · 17/07/2022 15:34

Well, my initials are TC and I am a 70s child when a cartoon character called Top Cat was on the TV.

I joined MN in 2014

Ohthepressureofaname · 17/07/2022 15:37

In the excitement of being able to actually pick a username after the recent upgrade (couldn’t change my original userxxxx name for some reason) I picked a stupid one (an Andy Bernard office quote - and not a good one). I got sick of seeing it every time i answered a post so decided to change it. Turns out picking names isn’t a strength of mine so this quote from pretty woman seemed appropriate!

TaighNamGastaOrt · 17/07/2022 15:40

Literally means fuck off in Gaelic.

girlmom21 · 17/07/2022 15:40

I'm a mom of girls who had a super witty name change last year Grin

PutADonkOnItAndRaveOn · 17/07/2022 15:44

Name changed today
I'm a clubber and proud. Went to a full on 3 day rave event last weekend and had the time of my life.

Ylvamoon · 17/07/2022 15:45

YLVA means she-wolf in Nordic /Swedish and moon is just because of the stereotype of Wolves howling at the moon.

So if I was to write a novel my protagonist would be a Warewolf called Ylva Moon...

whiteroseredrose · 17/07/2022 15:49

This is my fourth username as DD kept finding me!

My name is because I was born in Yorkshire and raised in Lancashire.

Creepypapermultipack · 17/07/2022 15:51

From What we do in the shadows.

Nandor The Relentless spots some crêpe paper in a shop but thinks that it is 'creepy' paper, then he spots a multipack of the stuff.
