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).

DD had a hearing problem when little. This is how she used to pronounce 'normally', always with careful stress on the 'Orrrrr....' syllable.

It's the title of a t-shirt I bought for my son from one of his gaming sites, red and blue I think. Freckles is a giant robotic war machine but he is sooo cute lol

Pricklesinperil · 17/07/2022 16:02

I love reading all the stories behind the user names

Mine means hedgehogs are in trouble. We’ve lost a third of all our hedgehogs since the millenium.

Please, if you haven’t already, sign up to be a hedgehog champion and help hedgehogs access all our gardens. Without your help, they won’t survive. Help hedgehogs 🦔

Oblomov is a book by Goncharov. He slobs about at home in his dressing gown. That's me!

In an infamous David Letterman appearance in 1987, the actor Crispin Glover came close to kicking the host in the head.

Mine is the names of our two Christmas Elves, very much loved and still arriving every year or it won’t be a real Christmas apparently. My daughters will be 14 and 16 this year, the elves really need to retire.

Reminds me of when my son was born 😬

WatermelonWaveclub · 17/07/2022 16:33

Mine is from an online game my DD plays. My usual one comes from the acute psych ward I stayed in when I had a mental breakdown.

Mine is the main character in Noel Streatfeild's books "Thursday's Child" and "Far to go".

Val Biro was a children's author circa 1960s-1980s

I just love his name.

Mine is what I was eating at the time I made the account.

Findingmypast · 17/07/2022 17:31

Odd past, family, and up bringing, and knew I'd been lied to a lot in the past, but never previously dared to go against claim everything was my mothers final wishes. (Genealogy has left me staggered.)

The first part of my username is a nod to my DFIL who passed away recently as he was a Pink Floyd fan, so forms part of one of their song titles, and my favourite make of car.

Mine is a tribute to the late, great Victoria Wood

He’s the bass player from the band in The Muppets

chosen because I’m a bass player, and can be a Muppet at times…

I live near the sea, like the breeze and the sun. Very straight forward. Ocean sounded better then sea😬
